Guide your spacecraft and beat the enemy.

Various games are appearing left and right at the Ovi Store which are becoming better and better. This one we will be reviewing is a FREE download but is a Demo version of the real game. It is a glimpse of the type of action you can experience by purchasing the FULL GAME. If you like games that involve flying and has guns and explosions, then SKY FORCE RELOADED LITE is for you for your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone.

What is Sky Force Reloaded Lite?

Sky Force Reloaded Lite is a “Free to try” game from Infinite Dreams. It let you become the fighter pilot of a spacecraft packed with heavy machinery, weapons and special feature armaments. Each level has special missions that you need to accomplish to get to the next level.

You will be battling different enemies on each level. For starters, there will be other fighter crafts that will try to destroy you both on land and in the air. There are land-to-air missile launchers and other weapons meant only for your destruction.

The way to navigate your sleek red fighter craft is by moving your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone. The game uses the accelerometer of the phone. No need to worry about tapping the screen to launch your weapons. The fighter craft automatically fires for you. All you need to do is just point your craft in the right direction and blast your enemies to kingdom come.

If you want to use the touch screen for directions, you can switch it using the options page. But it would be easier if you just leave it to "Accel" mode.

At the end of every stage, you will be fighting the “boss” character. In this case, it’s a big mean machine ready to eat you alive. But you still have a chance to destroy him. Just dodge the things he’s dishing out.

Check out the options of the game.

My Take on Sky Force Reloaded Lite

Sky Force is a great game to play. No wonder it was awarded by Best Software of 2007 by the Smartphone and Pocket PC awards. It is now back with new enemies and new weapons.

Controls are good in Sky Force Reloaded Lite. You just have to get used to the way the accelerometer works. It’s like trying to balance a ball. You don’t want to tilt the phone too much or the momentum might shift the spacecraft too much. It is good that the programmers made the firepower shooting automatic. At least, I just have to focus on the direction of my spacecraft. Learn the physics of this game and you will be victorious.

Though it’s a 2D game, you will appreciate the simplicity of the graphics. The shadows and the lighting give the games an awesome look. The sound and sound effects are excellent. Though it either blasts you back to the 80’s, it’s still a great game to play.

My Verdict on Sky Force Reloaded Lite

Yes. It is just a one level game since it’s a free-to-try game. I guess that's why it's called Sky Force Reloaded Lite. But at least it gives you a glimpse of what this game can offer. This can bring loads of hours of gameplay to your Nokia 5800 phone. Not a lot of people may like this demo version but it does show you that it can be worth the price.

Now the only thing that bothers me is that the game intro shot shows a helicopter but the game has a spacecraft. Go figure.

The Sky Force Reloaded Lite game is a try-to-buy demo software that can be downloaded for FREE at the Ovi Store (http://store.ovi.com/content/759BC9F221024C51E040050A85327DBF). Just register to access the site. You can also download this application straight to your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone by installing the Ovi Store Application.
