Nazca Pertiga (Sports) by Nazca

Nazca Pertiga 2004 is a pole-vaulting game similar to those seen in games such as Track and Field. Also, it is made using the seemingly flexible Fenix engine. The game is unfortunately in spanish, but it's not much of a hinderance, as the menus are easily navigatable. The graphics in this game are awesome! It uses a pseudo-3d effect like in Mario Kart or F-Zero to pull off a really nice, almost isometric 3d look. The artwork has a very slick cel-shaded look to it. There's 3 stages to play; day, dusk, and night. There's a tutorial mode that will show you how to play, but, like the rest of the menus, they are in spanish, but not too hard to understand if you pay attention. There is a music track, it's a decent track, too, but it's the same track the entire game, and there's not too many sound effects.

The game itself is easy to play, press the B button like a maniac until you get close to the bar, when you get there, time it right and press and hold the R button until you get close to a 45 degre angle. Then it'll tell you to press the A button to release yourself from the pole and vault over the bar.

Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of meat to this game, but don't let it stop you from checking it out! It's really worth it! This game has an excellent idea that hasn't been done yet on the GP32. (AFAIK)
