A Christmas MegaGame - Lament Island

Published by at

It's possibly the biggest and best game ever created for S60, has texture-mapped 3D surfaces, innovative puzzles and gameplay, a fabulous soundtrack and it's exclusively available for S60 3rd Edition and S60 2nd Edition phones. It's Lament Island, and it's reviewed in detail here by our very own Krisse, who awards it a coveted AAS MegaGame award. Highly recommended.

"Lament Island is a fully 3D action-adventure game along the lines of Tomb Raider, but with a Chinese setting and made by Chinese developers. You explore a deserted mansion on an island using a detailed set of controls which rely on the direction pad, keypad and soft keys."

"Those who remember the N-Gage version of Tomb Raider will find something very interesting in Lament Island: an OPTIONAL version of the infamous auto-run feature. Autorun in TR for N-Gage was notorious for making Lara run off cliffs, but in LI it actually works quite well, and this reviewer used it very often. It's easy to activate (click forward twice) and deactivate (click back once), and is especially suited to a phone keypad. Indeed, it works so well on a phone keypad that one wonders if the N-Gage port of Tomb Raider was originally intended for a conventional phone."
