| Nokia announces launch date of Space Alliance Nokia announced that in the first quarter of next year players can expect to be able to connect through Space Alliance, a massively multi-player online game available on selected Java technology-enabled mobile phones through the Nokia SNAP Mobile service. Announced earlier this year at E3 as Space Shooter, Space Alliance tasks humans with defending themselves from a massively coordinated alien attack. Gamers can go at it alone or build an online team of fellow pilots to destroy these vile creatures and save the human race. Space Alliance, developed by Monkey Business, is a 3D space shooter game where players take part in a massively co-operative persistent online intergalactic war. Players work together to annihilate alien forces, construct new starbases and fighter factories, build automated defenses, and respond to other players' distress signals. A live moderator provides mid- to long-term strategy for the alien fleets, and can add new elements to a game in play to keep the players busy or to assist them. The moderator also maintains an online 'blog' that includes information on the history of the galaxy, and what has taken place prior to the alien attack. Space Alliance offers friends list and chat, but also includes score reporting, leader boards and community news boards. Space Alliance is expected to be available in Q1 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
