Story

In the summer of 1943, special forces are urgently needed in the struggle for Europe. The player commands a multinational unit of highly trained men and accomplishes action-packed, historical missions by defending, ambushing, destroying and attacking.

Pathway to Glory can be played in single-player and multiplayer mode, using either hotseat, N-Gage Arena or a local Bluetooth connection.

Reception

The game received 83/100 reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. GameSpot nominated Pathway to Glory as the Best of E3 2004, the best N-Gage Game: "Pathway to Glory is our N-Gage Best of E3 pick because it offers a cohesive, refined, and original take on the strategy genre. The fact that Nokia appears to be pulling it off on a developing, port-laden platform makes the achievement all the more impressive."
