Poll : Nokia N-Gage

I still think that we should use it as a shotgun target!!!

changing games is a joke. Gamespy had a good analogy: Its like opening up your TV to change the channel.

If it wasn't for the price it would be no worse than GBA. IMO all handheld games suck, N-Gage and GBA are no exceptions. To be honest with you, even with the bad scores some games on N-Gage look more interesting then games on GBA. Don't let your bias take over because it's just the facts. The games look better and I bet nobody (or very few) who replied to this thread has had a chance to play the games for themselves. Including me

More power to ya. You can play your games that were ported to N-Gage on Psx, and I can play my games that were ported to GBA on NES and SNES.

-EdIt-

Just so you, and everybody else, doesn't get the wrong idea, I don't think N-Gage or GBA is quality. I think they are both Rip-offs, and I don't ever plan on buying either of them. I simply stated two things:

-None of you, from what I have heard, have played it, and if you have you haven't said it. You are blindly bashing it.
-The games look better that GBA's imo. By "look better" I am refering to the graphics and how the graphics may effect the gameplay. THPS for example, one of my favorite series, looks better and more playable on N-Gage than GBA.

Neither have you. And it could easily be argued that your praise for the N-Gage is even blinder than our bashing. After all, you are seemingly only concerned with the graphics. At least others among us are looking at reviews for the games which say that the gameplay isn't all that great. And after all, it's the gameplay that counts.

Unless you're a graphics whore, that is.

And by the way, you don't even seem to care about how inconvenient it is to change games on the N-Gage. That's rather important, you know.

Just out of curiosity, you're basing this off movies and not screenshots, right? I'm not attacking you here. I'm just making sure.

You consider what he is doing praising? Calling it crap? Interesting.

Or are you saying that by him saying that it appeals to him as much as GB (which he also called crap mind you) he is praising it?

and you call my logic messed up

It does actually look just like a normal phone that you could buy I mean the newer phones it looks like a two way (pager) a cell phone and a MP3 player witha built in game system.. If you buying this for a gaming consol then I must find you and kick you in the shin but if you travel alot and you want to be able to conserve space and play old games then it's a good buy..

I agree with TheGame,It's a CELL phone not maily a gaming console

It's maily meant to be talked on and maybe the mp3's look at the marketing campaign.

Contrary to what Justin might think, I do understand Morpeus1's point. He doesn't like handhelds. I see that. And yet, he thinks the N-Gage games are more appealing. Saying that something sucks but is in some way better than the rest is a back-handed compliment, by the way.

What I am questioning (fine, you can call it attacking if you want) is Morpheus1's basis for saying that the N-Gage games are more appealing to him than the GBA's. He says so right here:

He might think N-Gage and GBA games suck, but apparently N-Gage games suck less.

Or have I got it all wrong? I'll happily stand corrected if that isn't what Morpheus1 is saying. But as far as I can tell, Morpheus1 doesn't like handhelds but still thinks N-Gage games are more interesting to him just because of the graphics. Maybe he has other reasons, but in multiple posts, he hasn't named them. If he thinks N-Gage games are more appealing because he thinks the gameplay possibilities offered by the N-Gage are better than those offered by the GBA, then fine. I respect that. If he just likes Tomb Raider better than Mario, then I respect that too. But once again, he hasn't given any indication that his preference is based on anything other than graphics.

And by the way, Morpheus1 is free to contradict review scores if he wants to. But if he hasn't played the actual games, I don't think he's in a position to disagree with reviewers who have.

So go ahead, Morpheus1. Name some reason other than graphics that you think N-Gage games, despite sucking, are more interesting to you than GBA games. That's all I've been wanting you to do because contrary to what it may seem like, I don't want you to be labeled a graphics whore. I am hoping graphics isn't the only reason you have. Maybe you also like Bluetooth. The moment you come up with something is the moment I get off your case and we all can have a productive conversation again.

Well, let's just say that everybody who has bought a GB (I don't even know the figures) disagrees with your dislike for handheld games, but I respect your opinion about not liking handheld games.

I agree. Overall GBA has no chance against the NGAGE.

Now let's engage......N-Gage.

Seriously after reading the reviews over the games, it's pretty safe to say N-Gage doesn't have ANY star stellar games atm. It just can't compare seriously. It's kinda like comparing the Atari Jaguar to the Psx. No match. I can't stop saying "seriously".............seriously

So you like the N-Gage games better because they look better?

What are you, some kind of graphics whore?

And by the way, review scores usually factor graphics into the score somewhere. Maybe the games don't actually look that great on the N-Gage.
