A week back i acquired a korean android phone called the Vega Racer 2(heres that old post). the device's specs were upto gaming spec(as far as non-tegra devices go).
so i proceeded to load up some of the games i've played on my acer tab before.. and heres what i found.
(note: i won't mention games like Angry Birds.. since they obviously play on specs like this)
here are the specs:
Pantech SKY Vega Racer 2 A830S
-Android 4.1
-Dual Core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4
-RAM 1GB
-Internal memory 16GB
-dimensions: 68.9mm X 132.4mm X 9.35mm
(4.8" screen)
-screen resolution - 1280x720(HD 720p) 306ppi
-NFC enabled.
-AnTuTu Benchmark score: 10476 (identical to the Galaxy Note)
so heres what i've played and the respective verdicts:
Shooters:
ShadowGun ✩✩✩✩✩
Bombshells Hells Bells ✩✩✩✩✩
Modern Combat3: Fallen Nation ✩✩★★★
Racers and the rest:
Busted✩✩✩✩✩
Shine Runner✩✩✩✩✩
Trial Xtreme 3 ✩✩✩✩✩
Rail Rush✩✩✩✩✩ (i know its a Temple Run clone)
Highway Rider ✩✩✩✩✩
as you can see, i didn't give MC3 5 stars.. even though i'm a fan of the franchise, and have played the preceding games.
this is because it had some serious issues.. but considering that games like ShadowGun,Bombshells and shine runner ran without issues.. i have to believe that the fault is not with the device but with MC3. a quick look at the comments confirms it, i'm not the only one dealing with these issues..
heres what happened:
Issue #1
the game would fc(force close) on launch.. after skimming the comments on the google play page i realised its an issue with "Force GPU rendering" .. basically you have to turn it off for the game to run :bomb: .

so anyway once you do this the game runs great! the graphics are impressive and highly detailed for a mobile game. here are some more screenshots from the Vega Racer 2

so anyway all seemed fine, and i was happily playing the first level when i noticed that it was becoming uncomfortable to control.. because my fingertips were getting hot! the game really pushes the cpu and gpu on this device.. so anyway i quit after sometime and went to the desktop widgets to check the temperature..
it was at +50˚C !!! :yikes:

need to do further tests.. but i don't think i've had this heating issues with the other games.
