Sonic N (Nokia N-Gage)
Sonic N (Nokia N-Gage)
Customer Review: Not good, there are way better n-gage games out there
This is an okay game but it’s clearly designed for the Game Boy Advance and a port rushed to the n-gage to coincide with its launch in 2003 without too much care or attention. It doesn’t suit the N-gage’s screen shape and the zoomed out view doesn’t have much in the way of detail.
If you really want a good platform game on the N-gage, go for Rayman 3, it looks nice but more importantly it plays excellently.
Customer Review: Hmmmm…
Sonic has always been popular since its debut in 1991. Everyone just loved the cute little spikey blue hedgehog. But this N-Gage port of Sonic Advance doesnt do the energetic lil critter any justice atall.
When you load up the game for the first time, you’ll notice (if you played Sonic Advance on the GBA) that 2 game modes have gone. The Chao mode and the multiplayer mode. Chao mode is a little mini game that was a bit of fun. The multiplayer aspect being took out of the N-Gage version is a shock, as the main point of N-Gage games is to have powerful bluetooth multiplayer. Shame.
The main game takes you throguh 6 zones, each containing 2 levels and an end of zone boss. There are four characters to choose from (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy) and the characters really acts as the games 4 save files. The game is relativly easy itself, as I completed it in a few days. After completing it with one character, you could start again with a different character. Bbbbbbbooooooorrrrrriiiiiinnnnnnggggg.
Graphics. Now I know that Sonic would lose it’s reputation if it turned 3D, but this game does not push the N-Gages grahical capibilities atall. Not good.
The sound is quite poor in quality but this is the only N-Gage game I have played so I can’t compare it to others. The game has some kool tunes but the hissing sound in the background makes it less enjoyable.
Anyway, enough of the Cons, lets move onto pros. There are some clever ideas in Sonic N. Like booster pads, loops, no gravity etc., but thats all been seen before (Sonic Advance).
Overall a below average game, and there is absolutly no point in getting this game if you already own it on GBA. But for die-hard Sonic fans, it may just be worth the purchase.
