Operation Shadow is a third-person action game that's exclusive to the Nokia N-Gage.
+ First two missions are enjoyable, especially for fans of the Contra series, and the game saves your high score after each one.
- However, the difficulty then skyrockets to an absurd degree with swarms of tanks that can instantly kill you from off-screen.
- Vehicles are severely under-powered and ammo is too scarce to make them a valuable tool in your combat arsenal.
- It's impossible to get close enough to most targets without first taking damage, meaning skill-based play is thwarted.
- Mission objectives sound simple, but they typically have a confusing nuance that's only decipherable through trial-and-error.
- Narrow draw distance, low polygon count and extreme pop-in magnify the game's woefully unpolished feel.
