Pathway to Glory: N-Gage
Red Lynx, Nokia
Brave in a way, this turn-based WWII game. Brave because
turn-based games are seen as being part of a smaller segment
of the market, and not offering the kind of instant gratification
that a plain shooter might.
But smarter people have long been able to deal with deferred
gratification where the reward was there, and clearly this style
can add quite a lot to the complexity of a game because everything
doesn't have to happen at once.
This game got an award at the recent MEM05 show in London for
"Best Contribution to Mobile Games" or rather Nokia did, and deservedly
so, not just for bravery but for the quality of the thing.
Having said, if WWII war games are not your thing, there's
not particular reason to get it other than maybe to marvel
at what can be squeezed into such a small box.
