I love this game, its the game red faction wasn't. The surroundings, being able to explore whole towns, the plot line, the bluetooth multiplayer, the option of the ngage arena, the story feel to it, the gameplay, the graphics-everything is great. Along with Sims its my favourite game. I won't spoil the plot but it involves the hero looking for his sister, who was looking for a lost city. Sounds rubbish, but the game explains it well. You start off in a train station, and the first thing you notice about the town is how empoty it is. You then go along and find something ont he floor dead and you know somethings going to happen. Then you find some blood in your sisters house and thats all i'm going to say. The gameplay is good, but i don't like some of the controls to start with, but you get used to them. The ghost vision goggles are cool, and the music very atmospheric. The monsters sometimes look a bit blocky, but are good enough. Screenshots attached below.

Eww.. what's wrong with those graphics? I'ts horrible compared to red faction's graphics and I'm sure the N-gage is capable of handling better graphics.

Yeah, I think that too. The game is awesome, I just finished the game, we must fight against a huge ugly green monster.

i only played for about 10 minutes, but if the rest of the game is like the first level then it shuld be good.

Well, the ss (screen shots) you posted are not from the final release, that's the beta. The good news is, when you see the final release ones, it's a million times better. You can tell just by looking at the gun. Hope you like the game a little better now.
