Westward 'the best game in its genre'

Westward, originally released on the PC, is a cocktail that mixes in elements of town simulation, RTS (Real Time Strategy), adventure and humour. Does it combine the best of all worlds, or is it an unwieldy mess? Read Tzer2's review of Westward to find out...

Read on in the full article.

On an E71, whilst the game works, largely because of the screen layout the text is so small a magnifying glass is needed to read it!!

Yeah, that may be a problem for some people. I have fairly good eyesight but not everyone does, and some screens are physically smaller than the N95's too. I suspect the small text is a relic of the game being originally written for the PC.

The best thing to do is install the demo and see if you can cope with it.

Another thing to note is that the game looks pretty good through TV Out, and of course text size isn't a problem on a television-size screen.

Ares, I've altered the newspost to make the UIQ3 availability clear.

I'd already added purchase/demo links at the end of the article for both S60 3rd and UIQ3.

Super Chimp, it should work on any S60 3rd okay (including FP1 and FP2) but try the free demo to make sure. The link to the demo is at the bottom of the article.

If the demo works without problems, the full version should work too.

Thank you for that I shall try that out as it certainly looks a pretty good game, especially like the old western setting.
