hey ewan! =D just to know... have you tried spore origins symbian version?! looking at these screenshots its exactly the same game, but its not unresponsive as you say on the review... and its entertaining, as the game is not slow... i didnt tried n-gage version because i already have symbian version on the same mobile n95 8gb, and n-gage doesnt let me install same game when symbian version is already here... same ocurred with crash bandicoot and pandemonium... so, can you test and see the difference?! i will apreciate that =D
