Wonder why Sonic N got such a low score? It's the same as Sonic Advance, which got an 8.something.

I'm gonna get to try an N-Gage in a few days, as my manager just got one for free.

I wouldn't give $300 for a portable game system. I had a hard time paying $100 for a GBA SP.

I'm not surprised at the scores. The N-gage is great example of awful design and it's quite obvious they didn't consult any "gamers" when they designed it.

eg I wonder who was the genius that decided it would be a good idea to have to remove the back panel and the battery to insert a new game.

Bad framerate, Its not smooth like the GBA one.

Anyone else find Game Informer to be a little more on the "we advertise things" side, especially in previews? I muchly prefer my trusty EGM, but I got a Game Informer subscription for a dollar net when I bought some stuff at GameStop...so yeah.

Was playing with a few in-store N Gages today, there were two set up in V Megastore. The first one was locked up at the tomb raider game menu and wasn't accepting input and the 2nd one would drop back to the [ GAME ] menu of the OS if you skipped through the ingame text too quick. Is this indicative of the reliability we can expect?

Oh and for what it's worth, it wasn't all bad as I found the D pad to be more useful than I had expected but the buttons are still rather clunky.
