On first glance Double Wires doesn't look much, but dive in and it's one of the most deceivingly entertaining and playable free Ovi Store games available. Read our Double Wires review to hear about why we liked it so much.
The graphics in Double Wires consist of little more than a few squiggly lines here and there set against a blue background. It doesn't look like much. On first glance you'd be forgiven for not wanting to play Double Wires.
You'd be wrong not to. In Double Wires the aim is to swing across a scrolling level as far as possible, and as quickly by tapping on the ledges that appear. Doing so unleashes two Spider-Man like sticky strings that attach to objects letting you swing around the level.
Each string is independent of each each other, and thanks to the game's physics causes your character to react accordingly like a rag doll being tugged in opposite directions.
There's a real method to timing each screen tap when playing on a touchscreen Nokia handset as we did using a Nokia X6. Timing your jumps is a welcome challenge. Even if you fail and have to try again, each new game feels different.
Our only qualm is those graphics. But with a game as interesting and challenging as Double Wires, how the game looks isn't so important.
Double Wires is a great example of substance over style, although a little bit of style wouldn't go amiss. Give it a try.
