Hands on with the LG Secret motion-sensing mobile games
[2008-7-16]
Tag : Mobile Phone Toy
The LG Secret is one of the more hotly anticipated mobile phonesthis year, offering a five-megapixel camera, a 2.4-inchtouchscreen, and all manner of music, video and photographygoodness. But it's the accelerometer we're excited about. The Secret (alsoknown as the KF750) is one of the new breed of handsets offeringmotion-sensing gaming something LG is branding as 'M-Toy', withsix preloaded games taking advantage.
Naturally, when we got the chance to have a go, I leapt in withboth hands. The phone itself is a suitably stylish slider handset,which is slim but reassuringly heavy in the hand. So what about those games? I'll take them in turn, starting with Dart . It's, yes, a darts game, where you tilt the phone left and rightto aim, and then jerk it forward to throw how fast you do thatdetermines how high up the board your dart flies.
The tilting and jerking works really well, although it's a bit potluck where your dart lands the one time I hit a treble 20, Icouldn't repeat it for the life of me. The game itself is barely a game too you throw three darts, seeyour score, and then start again there's not an actual match toplay. File under technical demo, albeit an impressive one.
Magic Ball is just that a magic ball that you toss around the screen bywaving the Secret, before pressing the button to get a verdict "Ask me again later", "Very doubtful" and "Better not tell younow".
Thanks for that. The motion works very well, but I can't imaginewhy you'd fire it up more than once.
Maze has you guiding a red ball round a series of dynamically generatedmazes to the hole at the end. It's smooth, but again, there's nogame for example, no scoring system based on how quickly youcomplete them.
