Dang, you see the thing I'm learning with these old Java games is that they can have different versions that vary pretty significantly depending on what device someone had, and in this case the only one I could comfortably emulate was LAME. It felt very phoned in (pun not intended) with bland levels made up of the same handful of assets. Enemies also tend to block a lot more now, which doesn't make battles any more challenging or complex it just increases the amount of time you sit there mashing the attack key outside of the couple of insect foes who require you to jump over them to reach their weak spot. The only new idea here is a few tedious chase sequences and the whole experience concludes in a frustrating boss encounter that you only have a limited method of doing damage to and has a move that can basically kill you in a single hit. The worst part of all is I looked up what the option for people with more powerful phones was like. Doesn't seem to be anything all that special compared to the earlier mobile PoP games, but man is it a heck of a lot more interesting than what I played. So a fat L for me and a rare disappointment from retro Gameloft.
