I just tried the trial version and was a bit disappointed. I was impressed with the graphics and sound, but the maneuvering was another story altogether, slow and cumbersome to say the least. I loaded the game into my Samsung i700 pda/phone and just wasn’t all that jazzed about it.

I do like the fact that it loads onto a storage disk unlike doom which just refuses to.

I don’t like the fact that this program does not allow you to assign keys. With some pdas they have unique buttons and I think you should be able to reassign if you have to.

There IS option to assign keys (main menu/controls)

I highly advise to try the onscreen control.
I think it is much easier that way.

I hate to be a pest... but it just needs to be hammered in, because the statement:

'I don’t like the fact that this program does not allow you to assign keys.'

is so weird.

See the controls button on the main menu? From there you can assign any key you want to whatever function you want :)

If you need further help, there is a Help button on the main menu as well, it explains everything you would ever need to know about the menus, the controls, and the game :)

As to stylus control versus dpad control, it depends on the user, I've seen about a 50/50 split between gamers that prefer one or the other.. so try both and see which suits you better. ( I guess its similar to goofy-foot versus regular fot with skateboarding/snowboarding ;)

Stylus control doesn't r0xx0r my b0xx0r.
Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

You can even assign movements to an external keyboard's buttons. I think..

Very true, I forgot that you can assign external controls to the game as well. Multiple users have stated that they use their external keyabords flawlessly with the game :)

I just got this game and I must say that the Stylus control is quite nice to play with. Although I would prefer D-Pad as I am a console gamer, my Toshiba e310 doesn't support multiple presses on the D-pad....

With the Stylus, the game feels like a mini Freelancer ^_^

I like the stylus control too. I feel its more accurate than using the DPad.
