The eMobile Sports App For The BlackBerry

The eMobile Sports App for the BlackBerry

Summary

Sports fans often end up taking their love of sports with them to the computer and that is where the love of sports and gaming can collide. If you are a sports fan that also loves to game on a frequent basis, the eMobile Sports app for the BlackBerry might just be what the doctor ordered. Getting the chance to indulge both of your loves during the long bus ride to work is a sweet deal and at the reasonable price that they are now available at, you really can’t afford to say no to this deal.
User Interaction

The eMobile Sports app actually has a number of modes too it, all of which can be used in the same general mode of interaction. Before you enter one of the modes however, you are going to have to choose the one that you want for that particular gaming session. In order to do that, the interaction involved is simply scrolling and then selecting.

User Interface

If you take a look at the interface for the eMobile Sports app, the first thing that might come across your mind is that it looks a lot like the interface you would see on some of the older console games around. When you take a look at some of the games for the Super Nintendo for example, the interface is quite similar. The graphics are a lot better though, which is essentially just a way of saying that this interface is very much in the style of what you see is what you get. There is nothing too flashy about it and that in turn lets you get down to the business of playing whatever game you fancy for the day.

Utility and Productivity

The main problem with this game is that it does not have the modern design and look that some people expect from BlackBerry apps. For some people, this might compromise both the way in which they use the game as well as how much enjoyment they get out of it. Enjoyment essentially equals productivity as far as games are concerned, so it is impossible to give this game full marks in this category. Most people will still find it fantastic, but there is still a concern to be had.

Rating

In the end, the main reason we hesitate to give this game top marks is that we feel it might not appeal to the full range of BlackBerry users. For that reason, the fairest mark that this game can get is 8.0 out of 10.
