Sample customer review from PocketGear.com [average customer review = 5 stars / 5]


The game is played over 16 varied missions of increasing difficulty. Shooting enemies gives an immediate 'blast', but to progress you must upgrade your ship, adapt your tactics and carefully manage your resources.

We have put a lot of effort into game-play balancing to produce a well-pitched learning curve. To progress you need to continually upgrade your ship with pick-ups. In addition to the 'quick fix' of destroying things, there is a variety of different, well structured, increasingly challenging mission criteria which mean that thought is required as you progress - enemies have different weaknesses and attack modes, and need different strategies to overcome them. Later on in the game you also have to manage resources - for example as lasers get more powerful they deplete your energy quicker, requiring you to hunt energy crystals.

Darxide EMP is a very accessible game that is easy to ''dip'' into, but which encourages and rewards extended repeat play, and the true-3D graphics performance on your Pocket PC will delight you. Darxide EMP stands out as a true ''experience'' - try it today and see what a great games machine your Pocket PC really is.....

Darxide EMP also features:

  • ergonomic control layout, including superbly integrated touchscreen operations
  • left- or right-handed operation
  • full re-configuration of controls to suit your personal preference
  • cut scenes
  • voice acting

The technical achievement in making a true-3D, fast-paced game for Pocket PC is compelling enough, but Darxide EMP also has a truly exceptional gaming pedigree - it is the result of a collaboration between Frontier''s David Braben and Peter Irvin, who each co-authored the games Elite and Exile respectively. These games were recently awarded a 10/10 score by the prestigious UK gaming magazine EDGE. Before these two games, only four games have ever been awarded pefect 10 / 10 by EDGE (Super Mario 64 [N64], Legend of Zelda: Occarina of Time [N64], Gran Turismo [PS1], Halo [Xbox]). The ''Darxide'' game was originally published by Sega on the Sega Megadrive 32X console, and was well received (awarded ''Best 32X Game'').

Enjoy.....!
