Mobile Phone Multiplayer Games via Bluetooth and GPRS

Introduction:

Mobile Phone Multiplayer Games are currently on the rise via bluetooth and the Multiplayer Gaming should be still upgraded to play online via GPRS. As the bandwidth and latency required for games are little higher than what most of the customers have, these have been not yet popular for the development. Nevertheless, Multiplayer gaming via bluetooth has been a great advantage for many users.

Support:

The Mobile Phone makers like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, etc... have all been giving the feature of multiplayer games via bluetooth in many of the mobile phones which are supporting bluetooth data transfer.

Some of the games which are supporting multiplayer games include, Asphalt urban GT, Rally Pro Challenge, Snake 3D, Fifa, Snow Boarding, etc...

How to Play:
In these mobile phones, if you see the game options while in the main menu of the game, you can see the option for multiplayers which includes Bluetooth data transfer mode. With two such mobile phones you connect to each other and play the games via Bluetooth. This is the actual method of playing Multiplayer games in Mobile Phones. It would be much easier may be if the phones are paired previously.

What is Bluetooth:
Bluetooth is a wireless data transfering device embeded nowadays in many electronic devices. In these days, Cars have bluetooth, PCs have bluetooth, Phones have bluetooth (these made it popular) and many more. You can have wireless connection with bluetooth.

  2. Go to Add new device in one of the devices.
  3. Search for bluetooth devices in one device.

  6. It will ask both of them to give a passcode.
  7. Give some number but should be given same in both the devices.

There is no answer for this question though, I just want to tell you this, there are many organizations which are organizing games all over the world. One such Cup is ESWC, Electronic Sports World Cup. This not only conducts the PC game competitions but also Mobile Phone Gaming Competitions. The Mobile Phone Game Asphalt Urban GT has been conducted in this October itself. And after that, the prize money wont be a small amount.
