Nokia N96 N-gage review-Pandemonium

Name: Pandemonium

Genre: Action/Adventure

Summary: Pandemonium has been around for a good few years originally coming out for the PlayStation, back then it was know for having good graphics but not great game play. Now It has been revived for the nokia n96 and with a new developer, will it surpass other games or will it fail? What the game does have is nice colourful environments, two playable characters each with different abilities and lots of levels. The multiplayer isn’t bad but you could get bored of racing each level again and again. The game feels like an old run and shoot arcade game with the only difference being that this uses a new style of graphics which make it look 3D. The detail should also be noted because someone spent a lot of time and it shows.

Overall: To answer the my earlier question, this game fails because its almost unplayable because it cant keep up with the frame rate so it stutters all the time. Also one of the characters use the normal n-gage controls which is fine but the other character needs both the normal N-gage controls and also the keypad so with that character you need to constantly open and close the slider. I tried this game on the n95 which it was much better but still slowed every now and again making it impossible to play the game fast which was meant to be the action in Action/Adventure. In the end of the day its a good game but you need a fast phone to play it. Read more
