Is it just me, or is Rebound not that great?

OK, correct me if i'm wrong here. Call me stupid, but what the hell is the point of rebound? I've read the instructions that come with it, which seem to say "you move around the maze and throw the ball at anything you fancy". Apart from the controls being tricky because of the crap direction pad, which isn't the game's fault, it just seems a bit pointless! You move around the maze, throw the ball and then loose it for about half an hour during which time you can't hit anything so you have to stay still. I'm also stuck about halfway through the maze, so i assume i've missed a little button somewhere, but aiming the ball with the pad is tricky!

Since the game is called "Rebound" i'm guessing there's some skill in it, or some way of playing the game that i'm totally missing - are you meant to send the ball off to hit as much as possible at once? Why couldn't Orange have given us a normal pinball game!

If anyone's played it much and likes it - let me know what the secret is! I'd love something else to while away the time, as Tennis Addict is great, but most of the time you need to reboot the phone to give it enough memory to run, which is a pain until someone releases a task manager!

I think it's quite fun. actually...

Whn you've lost the ball, just hit fire and it will return... Once you get the hang of it, it's really not that tricky + there are some special levels like pinball...

I have to say I agree - it's pants. I uninstalled it after a couple of days.

I second that!! Uninstalled after 1 day! s*** game..

And YES, Pinball would be so f***g great on this phone - vertically stretched screen, two softkeys just where the bottom 2 bumpers are (or whatever they're called)... Add the possibility of playing tracks on your SD and unless it crashes all the time coz of mem. lack - it's a great game!!

Go on Hexacto/O/MS/Somebody - get it sorted!!

Well at least i'm not the only one then! Maybe they should install tennis Addict on all new phones, or Interstellar Flames - it's only £1! Only problem is you have to reset your phone each time you play it to get enough free memory but hey...

Mmm, pinball... :D

The pinball thing is a part of Rebound.. I think its level 2 or 3 maybe, but its there in the game....

I agree. Rebound sucks bigtime.

Havent really found any great games for the SPV, yet.

Tennis Addict is quite good, though.

Yeah i thought rebound was the biggest pile of shite ever!

That free invasion game is good, if only it gave you more than one life, a continue or something!

Hello All. Just got my phone.

In the "Getting Started" maunal, it talks about Rebound being included with the phone. However, I did not get the game. It was not on the SD or the CD. Did any UK users get the game with their phone? I called Orange, and they sms'ed the URL for Handango to me.

I know this seems to be a cheesy question, but I'm just curious.

Thanks.

it should have been on your card, along with a few trial apps, and chemical brothers vids.

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't get it. I got the Chemical Brothers vids though. Orange support state that not all SPV owners got the application. So, should I pay for the game - even though I should of had it anyway. Or is the game not worth the effort?

Thanks again.

CERTAINLY DON'T BUY IT!!

I've ended up going through 5 E100's and Orange finally upgraded me to E200 - cost me £15 each replacement (admin fee or summat) but after much heated discussion they refunded 4 of them.

Anyway, the E200 came with another 8Mb SD card which had Rebound on it again. Send me a PM with your email.

* edit by midnight... sorry, but even though this game is free, its still copyrighted, so no copying/distribution of this game without prior permission of Orange/IdeaWorks3D

Woah guys - talk about bringing a topic back from the graveyard!

Still gives me that warm fuzzy feeling as I remember opening my SPV and Rebound (along with I.Flames) was the only decent game to play ...

How things have moved on since then!
