We already published the list of best N-Gage games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best N-Gage action games of all time.
With amazing titles available, the N-Gage definitely has a great library of action games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the N-Gage and action games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#10. Spider-Man 2
- Release Data: Digital Eclipse/Activision, 2004
- Genre: Action » Platformer » 2D
Despite the number of complaints this game received, Spider-Man 2 does provide N-Gage owners with a platformer title fix that is not horrible.
If you own an N-Gage, Spider-Man 2 is a decent title—just lower any expectations you have coming off the superior console version.
#9. Red Faction
- Release Data: Monkeystone/THQ, 2003
- Genre: Action » Shooter » First-Person » Arcade
Red Faction delivers one of the most satisfying single and multiplayer gaming experiences on the N-Gage in addition to being one of the most impressive first-person-shooters made portable.
The only thing holding it back from being a must-buy is its touchy controls, and slightly steep learning curve.
#8. SonicN
- Release Data: Sonic Team/Sega, 2003
- Genre: Action » Platformer » 2D
SonicN is a great game that ultimately may be impossible to fully enjoy with the limitations of the N-Gage’s screen ratio.
In the end, there’s a good game buried underneath SonicN‘s multiple technical shortcomings, but it’s buried too deep to find.
#7. Pandemonium!
- Release Data: Ideaworks3D/Eidos Interactive, 2003
- Genre: Action » Platformer » 3D
Pandemonium is one of the first games to come out for the N-Gage.
It didn’t exactly set the world on fire when it was originally released, and the N-Gage version certainly won’t get things blazing years later.
While the multiplayer is an interesting addition, the basic gameplay and blurry graphics make this game reserved to diehard fans only.
#6. Ashen
- Release Data: Torus Games/Nokia, 2004
- Genre: Action » Shooter » First-Person » Arcade
On its own terms, Ashen is really not a bad game.
Furthermore, when Ashen is compared with Red Faction, Ashen is definitely a more appealing alternative.
All in all, Ashen is an impressive and engrossing FPS and it’s definitely one of the main reasons to own a Nokia N-Gage.
#5. Call of Duty
- Release Data: Nokia/Activision, 2004
- Genre: Action » Shooter » First-Person » Arcade
As it is, fans of the Call of Duty games and other WWII-themed first-person shooters will get some enjoyment out of this game, as there’s plenty of fighting to do here, which is multiplied by four difficulty levels combined with solid level design.
#4. The King of Fighters Extreme
- Release Data: Hudson/Nokia, 2005
- Genre: Action » Fighting » 2D
The King of Fighters Extreme is a good game that noticeably could have been better.
If you’ve got an N-Gage and enjoy the King of Fighters series, or if you’ve ever liked 2D fighting games in the past and you want to have such a game in your pocket, then The King of Fighters Extreme is worthwhile.
#3. Rayman 3
- Release Data: Gameloft, 2003
- Genre: Action » Platformer » 2D
Even though it’s essentially just a clean port of a Game Boy Advance title, Rayman 3 proves to be one of the N-Gage’s best games, simply because it provides a fun single-player experience without too many caveats.
On its own terms, Rayman 3 maintains the spirit of the series, without fail, by delivering a wholly enjoyable and challenging platformer.
#2. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm
- Release Data: Gameloft, 2004
- Genre: Action » Shooter » First-Person » Tactical
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm is a highly polished title that successfully translates the series to the smaller screen.
Each mission is a joy to play thanks to the superb control scheme and compelling objectives, and the only real criticism is that there’s not more content to keep you playing beyond a couple of hours.
#1. Mile High Pinball
- Release Data: Bonus Mobile Entertainment/Nokia, 2005
- Genre: Action » Pinball
Mile High Pinball is an unexpected, yet pleasant surprise, and the amount of tables, weapons and secrets is hugely impressive.
Once you start advancing upwards from stage-to-stage, it’s hard to put the game down and the enticing thought of what adventures lie ahead is a premise that’s impossible to resist.
