N-Gage - First Review

N-Gage Review

One member of the public states that using it as a phone "makes you look like a twat" while there are reports of eye-strain and headaches while playing games.

I sh*t you not.

I dont like the look of this much at all.....

Think I will wait for the new Sony.

Rock On

The whole thing is a failure in my eyes. Like the review says, the screen, while crystal clear and perfectly backlight, is twice as small as the GBA. That means if anyone makes a sidescrolling game for the n-gage, they are kinda screwed. The changing of the cartidge is... just outrageous. Removing nearly 5 items from the "console"?. In my opinion, nokia should just stick with making phones. They aren't going to be like Sony anytime soon with the N-gage.

It's a modern day tiger game.com!

Screen is way too small, and potrait for most games doesn't look good imo ... as for a phone... well i would be way to embaressed to get that out in public, let alone in front of friends

I'm just wondering who the hell the Nokia marketing dept think is gonna buy it :blink: May appeal to school kids but way too expensive for that market!

erm i smell ...turkey!

 

[jegHegy]

i laughed so hard at some parts of that review i hope Nokia won't be surprised if they can't even sell one unit (except to some rich fanboys)

 

[skysnapper]

Whats worse is they managed to get companies like Sega developing for it .. are they all on drugs :rolleyes:

 

[GiG]

Hey hey! Calm down! We are developing a game for Series 60, that means that it will run on NGage too. Please, be a bit optimist! :blink:

 

[Twimfy]

Red faction will be the make or break game. I saw screen shots and they looked impressive. Of course if Sega ever publish a Sonic game for the N-gage I'm gonna have to buy it. Damn them.

 

[Azure]

that game looks really great

 

[Phil]

The screen really is pathetic. i can never go back from the gp32 giant screen. and the gp32 could do redfaction and alot better too.

Yeah, i hope that some games with graphics like that come out some day 4 the gp. i think it could be possible if descent companies gave it a go.

there's a gigantic picture of the n-gage with sonic in it in my newspaper

 

[RoboJoe32]

Yeah, but it runs slow, and either in portrait view, or stretched out ugly view, a slow sonic is scarcely a sonic at all.

whats the stretched view?
