    GameSpot has reviewed Baldur's Gate for mobile phones. Don't let the name deceive you: it's not the Baldur's Gate you know ported into Java and made available to mobile phone owners. In fact, the story is different, the game can only be played from a Lawful Good perspective and the game uses a simplified version of D&D 3.5 rules. The rating is 7.9. Here's a snip:

    Sorrent's Baldur's Gate is set firmly within the Forgotten Realms continuum, and its largely peripheral intrigue will only be interesting to fans of the FR universe. The venomous Vorn is apparently in collusion with the notorious Dragon Cult, who is conspiring to start a world war of apocalyptic proportions, pitting the Faerûnians (hailing, as you may have guessed, from Faerûn, the land where most Forgotten Realms games are set) against the Mulhorandi, a culture that, in ancient times, fell to decadence and decay, and is only just regaining power. The Mulhorandi once served the Imaskari Empire, a cruel race of wizards, and this has greatly impacted the Mulhorandi culture and temperament. Needless to say, a clash between these two worlds would be catastrophic, and the Dragon Cult must not be allowed to go unchecked. Of course, as the hero, the onus is upon you to single-handedly depose Vorn, if indeed he really is the mastermind behind the Dragon Cult's malevolent movements.
