God of War: Betrayal video: 2D violence in the palm of your hand

This looks like the best NES title EVAARAAAAAARRRRR!

Though this is pretty sw33t!

I prefer 2D fighters to 3D ones, so this looks great to me.

I'd rather they had gone this route for the PSP version, with CPS III quality graphics of course.

Great stuff, but I'm still curious what this is running under / on. (J2ME/BREW, MotoV3?)

I don't know too much about the mobile platforms, so I can't answer any specific questions. But I do know that I own a Q Smartphone and SOE has said there's a "possibility" of the game being on the platform, although I highly doubt it.

I'm not buying it. I guess I'm in the minority when I say the game looks like crap, but seriously, phone limitations or not, the game looks and moves like it's at 10-FPS if you're lucky.

These types of games don't belong on cell phones. Because the controls will inevitably suck, the designers can't actually put any SKILL into the game. What fun is a game with no challenge whatsoever?

I'll stick to Tetris and Yahtzee and Bowling on my phone, thank you.

God of War: Betrayel is something of a ground-breker for the mobile platform. Most people don't even realize that cell-phones are even capable of playing games. Although I wonder why, as they play music and video.
Anyway, for those who put down the concept of cell-phone games, let me remind you that the state of the art on these is certainly back in the 16 bit era of console platforms. Does anyone remember the original Nintendo platform? One thing to be aware of. GoW:B looks best on a cell-phone that is capable of showing the true excellence (for the platform it runs on) of the graphics. Some are not. That said, I KNOW that GoW:B is being ported to about 1200 different phones.
