The awkward controls add an unnecessary amount of difficulty to the game, but if you're patient you should be able to overcome it.

Has its shining moments when it comes to fun, reflex driven jumping and fun N-Gage Arena play, but is harbored by its limited field of vision.

This translation of the PS1 platformer has really nice graphics. [Spring 2004, p.18]

Game Power Australia

If you're in the market for a straight-up, no frills platform game, Pandemonium! is among the N-Gage's most enjoyable titles, and comes recommended. But don't purchase the game without being aware of its faults – it's quite repetitive, and its presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

Game Informer

Adequate. Its two-player Bluetooth options make for a fun race, if you've got a friend with the equipment. [Oct 2003, p.51]

PALGN

A great achievement. It runs well, generally looks good and plays well. Unfortunately, it's hampered by an average frame-rate at times, poor lastability, and linear game play.

GameSpy

Flows beautifully from level to level and is, simply put, a lot of fun. The controls are easy as pie.

Play Magazine

The game plays fast and looks decent squashed down for the N-Gage, controlling well enough within the basic movements of the characters of Nikki and Fargus. [Dec 2003, p.96]

Console Gameworld

Control is responsive. The problem is that the game is not very interesting to control. This is your standard, no frills, side scrolling platformer, and honestly, it's a little on the boring side.

GMR Magazine

The best 3D demo on N-Gage, Pandemonium feels like the 1996 PS1 platformer, sans soundtrack. [Nov 2003, p.101]

GameNow

Think of "Klonoa" without the fun. [Nov 2003, p.76]

GameSpot

The dull gameplay comes across loud and clear, and the graphics aren't as impressive as they were seven years ago, even when you take into account the N-Gage's portability.

Then there's no soundtrack, not even a hint. Seems to be another rushed effort.

Fell well below my high hopes, only excelling averagely in the graphics department and when all is said and done, you can sprinkle as much glitter on poop as you like, but it still stinks just as bad!

Gaming Age

There's no music and the ambient sound effects like a waterfall sound like pure static.
