unique about the N-Gage platform," says Gerard
Wiener, Director, Network Game Solutions, Nokia. "We
are very proud of this game and with the work that
the Nokia development team and Red Lynx have done

Pathway to Glory is packed with innovative features,
including the world's first mobile in-game voice communication
with the Field Radio feature. This feature enables
