For me, the primary reason to get the N-Gage was for it's gaming capabilities and the available games for N-Gage. There are also a number of softwares available to play mp3's on your mobile. The games that I have, though stripped down versions of their PC counterparts, are still a pleasure to play. Here are the best of the games that I have played on the N-Gage:
- Fifa-2005: This is the best game that I have seen on the N-gage so far. The graphic are just the essentials - small figures with the shirts and shorts (which are the usual colours of the respective teams). The game play is exceptional. It is simple and yet has all the features you would expect from a PC Fifa game. There are seasons, tournaments and challenges that you can play. A must have for N-gage. I would give it a 9.5 out of 10.
- Glimmerati: This is a racing game set in the world of the the rich and famous. The game has great graphics. The initial car you get is a bit slow and hard to maneuver but the races are good and one needs be in the top 3 to qualify for the next race. This would rate 8 out of 10 ion my books
- Requiem of Hell: I am a big time RPG fan. I tried playing Elder's Scroll on the N-gage buy was unable to find my way around with the first person view. In RoH though, the view is an third person isometric view. This eases the game play as you can see the surroundings and your enemy's easily. The graphics are remarkable and the game-play is very simple. The game itself is difficult. This game rates 8.5 out 10
- Rayman 3: This game reminds of Super Mario 2 as the graphics are similar. The game is fresh and easy and has a nice feel to it. A game you can play for hours or till your thumbs hurt. This game rates 7 out of 10 for me.
- Sims Bustin Out: This is a great game, whichever platform you play it on. The thing I like is that characters are large (they need be since they are the heart and soul of this game). The tasks requires some organization and logic. Overall a great game. 9 out of 10 for this one.
