King Dragon Galsis has risen from the abyss, bringing a dark shadow over the land of Xanadu. The beautiful and lush land suffers as terrifying monsters overtake the earth. To make things even worse, the daughter of the head of the village is abducted. You must take on the role of a young mercenary sent to save her. To complete your mission you must solve the challenging problems, and take down the enemies that stand in your way. You can develop your character to your liking, and learn special magic and fighting skills as you make progress. The massive game world is viewed from multiple 3rd person angles, and consists of 5 in depth locations that each contain numerous routes and puzzles. With a wide variety of enemies, boss monsters, as well as weapons and other items, Xanadu Next delivers nearly 35 hours of challenging RPG action. [Nokia]

The best action/RPG on the N-Gage right now, but that isn't saying a ton with Requiem of Hell being the only other dude in the ring.

A competent dungeon crawler marred by some presentation and design shortcomings, Xanadu is a bare-bones action role-playing game that we recommend only to more forgiving fans of the genre.

The core problem with Xanadu Next is that while there is no one thing that's really bad about the game, the whole is the sum of its parts and in this respect all the aspects I have highlighted come together to make one incredibly dull experience.
