How Metascores Are Calculated

This delightful 3D action-platform game looks great and will suck you in with its absorbing gameplay. Play through 11 levels set in the mediaval city of Lyr with wizard Nikki and her wacky sidekicks Fargus and Sid. We guarantee that Pandemonium's whimsical humor will make you laugh out loud. [Nokia]

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

Its absolutely jumping, fun crazy...In a very strange way.

IGN
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.

Pocket Games
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]

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.

AceGamez
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.
