Snakes (N-Gage)

Remember Snake, the classic title that made gaming on mobile phones cool? Well, It's back! But now it has evolved into Snakes: a fast-paced, colorful multi-player sensation in 3D, optimized for the Nokia N-Gage. The coolest thing is that they're giving it away for FREE! Anyone can downloaded on their official site and then spread it on via Bluetooth. [Nokia]

Critic Reviews

The beauty here though is that as mentioned, anyone who has Snakes on their N-Gage can simply send the full game to a friend using the Bluetooth functions. Once the game has been spread multiplayer madness can begin, and thankfully Snakes is even better when playing against other people.
88 Console Gameworld
Truly an innovative game for the N-Gage. Since the game provides such a great experience, and simply by virtue of the fact that it is free, it is a must-own for all N-Gagers.
87 IGN
If you own an N-Gage and haven't downloaded Snakes yet, hustle over to Nokia's website and nab it. Then clear out the next hour of your day, because you'll find this game wraps itself around you like few other N-Gage titles.
86 GameSpot
This simple 3D maze-running game from Nokia and Iomo epitomizes everything that's great and unique about the N-Gage.
80 GameSpy
There are many reasons for you to get this game, and quite literally no reasons not to.
80 Pocket Games
We're shocked that one of the most fun N-Gage games yet is a free download. [Spring 2005, p.81]
80 AceGamez
Vibrating visuals, fitting audio, instantly playable and feature packed. In fact, if it only had half the levels and no arena/multiplayer features, it would still be a great title worth paying for.
