The game begins with a suitably surreal introduction to your forest-like surroundings, and the woeful tale of hypnotised woodland creatures being forced to assail the environment at the command of an evil, floating cube. But what's equally pleasing to see is how the developer, Rovio Mobile, has clearly made an effort to retain the feel of the original Bounce - this is clearly a well-designed sequel, rather than a rehashing of a once popular name. In Boing Voyage, the classic Nokia game has been given a suitable next-gen mobile update to bring it in line with a host of contemporary hits like Super Monkey Ball. And while it's not quite a retro classic, seeing Bounce revived for the new generation of N-Gage systems will undoubtedly raise an involuntary squeak of intrigue from fans of the original. But it was also a great game, packed with the kind of pick-up-and-play addictiveness the industry still thrives upon. True enough, lots of old Nokia stalwarts out there will know enough about the built-in rubber ball game, but there'll be enough pocket gamers who're new to the closest thing Nokia has ever had to a gaming mascot.īounce was originally pre-installed on a lot of Nokia handsets, back when mobile gaming was more of a novelty - like having a calculator or calendar built into your phone. Bounce is perhaps the best kept secret in mobile gaming.
