Pathway to Glory was hailed by many games journals as being the N-Gage's saviour and saviour it is. Pathway to Glory has taken everything about the N-Gage and made it better through playing the game. This is fair, as the developers Red Lynx knew all of N-Gage's secrets so as to best manipulate them; all is to be said is that they were successful.The campaign missions of Pathway to Glory are interesting and exhilarating. You play through several historically accurate missions that were carried out by the WWII Allied forces. While occasionally long and drawn out, relief is provided from the suspense created by the turn-based system. You command a squadron of soldiers, all with individual statistics. Each soldier has a number of "points" that can be used on the field; walking, crouching, crawling, shooting and calling in air support all take up these points. Thus you must use them to your best advantage, much like the terrain. Once your points are used up you end your turn, hoping your squadron is safe from all encounters, and the enemy begins their turn.
The AI is impressive and somewhat realistic for a small title. NPCs have fields of view which if you enter unstealthily will allow them to pick your soldiers off with their weapons. Thus, you must use natural and man-made cover or simple lying down techniques to avoid enemy fire.
Of course, the only time AI does not play a role is during multiplayer sessions. These include Bluetooth gaming, Hot Seat gaming and also multiplayer action over the N-Gage Arena. Bluetooth gaming plays the same as Arena gaming, with you and other players taking it in turns to complete objectives or anhialate the competition, but there are also two types of Arena game - ranked and non-ranked. This is interesting but only if you have a high credit limit! Hot Seat gaming is really where this title takes off. Not many people you know may own N-Gages, but that needn't matter, as Hot Seat gaming allows many players to play on one device; you simply just take turns!
This game is a must for any N-Gage owner. There is little that can disappoint you in this title, I suggest all buy it... now!
