Ovi Store Game Review: Simon SaysLooking a bit like a mobile version of Bop It! for Nok devices is Simon Says. It's a free Ovi Store memory game that uses tones and lights to bark orders at you that you must repeat in in sequence. It's not one for goldfish. If you're not a goldfish, read on.

According to the Ovi Store description, Simon Says is a free remake of the classic game Simon Says, which is basically what you do throughout. The game instructions read:

"Simon's a mobile, Simon has a brain, you either do what Simon says or else you go down the drain. Follow the pattern of lights and sound for as long as you can."

You're presented with a circle resembling a pie chart, with four colours: red, green, yellow and blue. A colour then lights up, accompanied by a sound. You have to tap that colour. Initially one colour is signalled, then two, then three, then four in a sequence until you can no longer remember the order.

Like other memory puzzlers of its ilk, Simon Says gets progressively very difficult the further you go, though this of course depends on your powers of memory.

It works just as you'd expect it too, but is still a bit of a Marmite game. You either love or hate these type of things. Presentation could certainly be slicker, and the sound quality sounds as if it was recorded on a Dictaphone. Besides these niggles Simon Says does what it says it does.

If you're a fan of memory games, by all means give Simon Says a try, if you must but there are much better out there.
