Better than the first
Fire Emblem was one of the best games on the gba.Final Fantasy Tactics advance was another one.What this game does is take elements from both of them and combines them into one of the best handheld games ever.The first fire emblem was an extremely challenging game.This one is too, but now you can roam the map and join in skirmishis as in ffta.The character upgrade choices also make it superior to the first game.

Better Sequel to a Great Game
It is a time of peace, suddenly, your country of Renais is attacked by your ally, Grado.They are after the Sacred Stone, but why would they want the very thing that sealed the Demon King away centuries ago?

Welcome back to the realm of Fire Emblem.This installment had nothing to do with the other game (which is a little disappointing) but it still is as good as the first.So, what's new this time around, well first off, there's a difficulty selection available from the start (you had to unlock it in the first).There's beginner, which explains the game and has a tutorial, normal, for those of us who played through the first one and know much of the controls, and difficult, for those who want a challenge.

I got to say that I'm glad that they've added this feature so we don't have to listen to the idiotic tutorial (its good to look at it if your a beginner, but its still annoying).Anyway, the core of this game is essentially the same with some added features.

These added features include that of choosing what you want your character to turn into.For example, in the first game, thieves could only become an assassin.However, in this game you have a choice of an assassin, which is a killing machine (if you have the Killing Edge equipped), or become a Rougue, which is a thief who doesn't need lockpicks to open doors and chests.This adds a lot to the game too.

The other neat feature is the ability to walk on the world map and choose where you want to go.This system, I would compare it to that of FF Tactics Advance because you can run into monsters who are also new to the series.

There's also a Tower of Valni that is like an endurance round.You can leave whenever you want to, and its not required that you go there.

The storyline this time around is predictable but still can be classified as good.I mean I figured from the start what was going to happen, and most of your predictions will come true.

My favorite thing about this game are the main characters, Eirika and Ephraim.They are twins but seem to be complete opposites.Eirika is the peace loving princess who hates war, and Ephraim is the one who runs off trying to find pride in fighting.

So, should you pick up this game?Yes, if you liked the first one, but wanted more or if you haven't played the first.No, if you are tired of the gameplay from the first game because all you are going to get is the recycled form of the original.

PROS
- Good game with good stratergy ideas
- You have the choice to choose if you want the tutorial
- The added walk on the map feature is very useful
- The ability to choose what your unit will become

CONS
- The story is way too predictable
- A lot of this game is recycled from the old game (can be good or bad)

I haven't seen this yet
i haven't seen this game yet, but i'm sure that pigs are cool. you may find that this looks kqueer, but you know that it's true. just sayin hi to all those solar hills sons in this world

As a game, Sacred Stones is average. as a sequal, its a joke
Basically, what we have here is the same game.
Seriously. Intelli Sys recycled like 60% of the content from FE1(7 in jpn)? The only "new" things here are what you'd already expect in a sequel anyway: a new plot and new character designs.

Why would anyone pay full price to play exactly the same game all over again? It boggles the mind. On the pc we have what are called "expansion packs". This "sequel" does nothing new what the previous game hasn't already done. And the previous one, which I've reviewed, wasn't that impressive either.

In short, go ahead and buy this if you liked the first one and want more of the same. If the previous Fire Emblem didn't do much for you however, don't expect anything different.

Wow
This game had pretty big shoes to fill from the first fire emblem for gba but it certainly filled them. I really liked the choice for promoting units and the extra battles for level ups. ... Read more

Good, but VERY short
The play control is great and the story line is pretty good, but it's just WAY too short!I remember the days of the Zelda for SNES where you played all the way through the game, 8 dungeons and the final battle, only to find out there are 8 more dungeons and an entirely new world to explore!Here we have 5 dungeons and an extremely small world to explore.Sure, there are a bunch of kinstones to swap, but that's only so entertaining.Overall, I liked the game, just wanted it to go on for another 5 dungeons!

Tons of Fun
I've been a nearly lifelong Zelda fan, so, although I don't buy a lot of GBA games, I bought this one the week it was released. I've played it through twice now, and enjoyed it both times. Here are a few points I consider while playing:
Point one: Graphics- While I didn't aprove of the switch to cell-shaded graphics (I find it irritatingly cartoony for a title which was previously somewhat more serious), it fit the tone and was well done.
Point two: storyline/ length- good, basic storyline- rescue the princess and save Hyrule- which fits well with the game's history. I would have liked a few more dungeons, but the sidequests somewhat made up for that.
Three: sidequests/ extras- Quite good, especially as they haven't been strong in the previous games. Kinstones and Figurines add more dimension to an otherwise (pleasantly) simple game.
Overall: Great game, can't wait for the next one.

Beautiful! Miyamoto brings back more fun!
Okay, hour 1 of minish cap: It's 6:00pm and I'm still stuck on this one puzzle, the size of a piece of dust and Ezlo isn't helping me... success! I found the Jar of Gusts! I suck the spiderwebs off (You're sick if you're thinking what I think you're thinking I'm thinking you're thinking.) with the jar and get out of the extra entrances, quite frankly I'm entertained.

Drowning in puddles... teardrops and getting jumped by pieces of pollen... what's not to want or need?! Mr. Miyamoto did not fail us, the gameplay engine was solid, the graphics, good for a GBA game, sound... wonderful! I swear, playing as a super-chibbi is fun, so if you want an affordable good game... don't buy this game... buy it if you want an awesome affordable game! Go Zelda!!!

Cool Game
This is fun, even when you play it again. There is a HUGE amount of kinstone fusions to do, it will take a lot of time to come up with everything. I had to make a separate game where I don't finish the four sword, since i miss a lot of fusions from the town. Also, try making your name dude or cheesy. People start saying really weird stuff.

So Much Fun
I had a ball playing this game. It took a while to finish but it was worth it. Going to start all over again. ... Read more

A Great Game
I've always loved A Link To The Past.It's not too easy but not too hard.The graphics are good and it has a nice storyline to it.It's just fun!I only have one complaint about this game for the GBA (and it's a big one):
This version of the game comes with a new game, The Four Swords.The only problem is that it's a MULTIPLAYER GAME!I know multiplayer games are enjoyable for some people, but not everybody knows someone else who also has this game, so many of us are not even able to play the game, which sucks, because from pictures I've seen, it looks like a lot of fun.There should ALWAYS be a single player option!
Okay, I'm done whining now.

Jake Klingelhofer Gives this game two thumbs up!
This is a GREAT game. It takes a while to beat but is very fun and not very hard. it isn't really easy like Zelda: the Minish Cap, but not insanely hard like Zelda: the Wind Waker. A fun continous game with good music, good characters, and it's GREAT
all around. ON a scale from 1 to 10, i would give this game a 11!

Bugger Zelda, revive "Battle Of Olympus"
Zelda was a copy of Battle Of Olympus IMO. Both games very simmaler, and if you like Zelda you'd love B.O.O.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past on Game Boy Advance is an identical port of the classic SNES game of the same name. What separates these brilliant Zelda adventures other than the Game Boy Advance's version being portable is that the GBA version also includes a Capcom-developed multiplayer game entitled Four Swords.

In Four Swords, up to four players can play together for a mix of cooperation and competition, solving puzzles, gathering Rupees and trading items. Fans of the Zelda series receive two great games for the price of one in this must-own GBA title.

On the surface, it looks like Nintendo went the cheap way out by simply converting the admittedly outstanding Super NES adventure The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past to the Game Boy Advance as the system's first official Zelda product, pretty much pixel-for-pixel in graphics and note-for-note in sound. It's a fantastic game in its own right, but the GBA has proven time and again that it has significantly more potential in capabilities than the Super NES ever did, and a conversion of an early generation 16-bit title hardly impresses on a technical scale. But put that thinking aside, because the developers didn't just put out a simple port for Zelda fans; the secondary selling point of the game cartridge, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords is a deep, thoroughly designed, and absolutely fun multiplayer experience that's based around the established Zelda gameplay mechanics. It's here that the cartridge really shines, and makes the purchase of the game an absolute necessity for Zelda fanatics and GBA owners alike.

All Zelda fans should know exactly what they're getting into with the Game Boy Advance conversion of A Link to the Past. The original game released back in 1993 for the Super NES is still revered as one of the best games released in the series, even among the more recent 3D releases on the Nintendo 64 system. The game takes place way early in the admittedly wonky Legend of Zelda chronology. As the elfish adventurer Link, players head off into the huge overworld to rescue the princess Zelda from the castle dungeon; as players save her from the lock-down, they learn that an evil wizard Agahnim has put the land under a cursed spell, and it's up to Link to grab the Master Sword and break it. But anyone who is familiar with the story, or Legend of Zelda games in general know that this is only the beginning of the adventure...
The Game Boy Advance game is a 100% accurate port of the Super NES game, right down to the pixel. The GBA game uses all of the original art assets from the game released in 1993 for its graphics, which admittedly look a bit dated to today's standards and what the GBA can actually pull off. But it remains extremely faithful to the original, which will definitely please videogame purists; any slight alteration of the original game and you could definitely hear all the fanboy comparisons to the original SNES version. The only real changes in gameplay are alterations on where certain non-essential objects are located; a tree that always dropped a rupee gem when rammed now unleashes a fairy, which eliminates the exploitation of unlimited funds from the original game. And, of course, the screen resolution means that the GBA has to scroll a bit more than the Super NES version did, but the original SNES game didn't require any real long-distance action, so this "cropping" does not hinder gameplay at all.

And while the music isn't quite as "crisp" on the GBA system, the handheld hardware does a wonderful job pulling off all the audio from the classic. But, just as Nintendo couldn't leave the past Super Mario games alone, the company insisted on adding to the sound effects by giving Link grunts, shouts, and yells, lifted from the samples used in the previous N64 adventures. It would have been a decent inclusion had it been used sparingly, but man, it gets annoying when every slash of the sword results in an audible grunt from Link. Every single one. It's cool that Link now lets out a yelp when he falls off a ledge or bites the big one, but a shout every single time he uses his sword? Yes, after about five hours into the quest your mind may grow used to this sound effect, but as it stands, the developers should have gone easy on the Link yelps.

But it's the gameplay that matters, and even today Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past holds its own as one of the best-designed action-adventure games ever created. For those not quite familiar with the way the Zelda design works, A Link to the Past features a huge overworld with several dungeons in which players will have to shove boxes, trigger switches, and destroy enemies in order to progress to the end where a very large boss creature sits and waits to crush Link into a pulp. These dungeons are pretty much the core of the Zelda gameplay, and it's these areas that give the game most its challenge. Each dungeon (there are at least a dozen of them in A Link to the Past are both extremely fun and, in many cases, extremely frustrating...but in an amusing sort of way. This game was the first Zelda game to utilize alternate-world travel; players will have to hop back and forth between the light and dark world to solve puzzles and get through certain challenges. There are times that, yes, you'll get stuck, so taking a step back to figure out the best (and usually only) course of action in the specific area is definitely encouraged. When all is said and done, A Link to the Past is a lengthy 20 to 30 hour adventure for folks who don't remember every little element from the SNES version. Those with the upper hand with prior knowledge of the classic adventure can probably breeze through it in a dozen. But whether you're a newbie or veteran, you haven't seen anything yet.

The secondary game option, Four Swords is an absolute must-play. Anyone who puts this cartridge away after completing A Link to the Past will be missing out on one of the best system link games ever created, and it's this mode that will set the watermark for what the GBA's game link support can pull off. Four Swords isn't a simple rehash of A Link to the Past's graphic engine in a multiplayer deathmatch, no sir. This is a completely separate game development that shares only the cartridge in which A Link to the Past sits. Four Swords occurs during the same time structure as the upcoming Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for the GameCube, which explains the completely changed character sprite structure of Four Swords. In the game, players must rescue Zelda from the clutches of the evil wind sorceror Vaati. But the challenges ahead are impossible for a single adventurer; to assist Link in his quest to rescue the princess, fairies use the power of the Four Swords to duplicate the hero...four times the Link. Silly premise, I know, but all you have to know is that each player controls a different colored Link.


The Four Swords is essentially broken up into four different areas, each with its own network of dungeons. The first dungeon is an expansive tutorial area that explains the varying items and how they work in the other three different areas. The level design Four Swords varies between standard Zelda fare to absolutely brilliant use of cooperative gameplay mechanics; this isn't a simple Gauntlet clone. Game designers have worked in many of the ideas from past Zelda games, from triggering pressure switches to shoving statues and lifting boulders. But many elements must be done in unison with one, two, or three other Links. Massive boulders blocking the way, for example, require all Links to work together to lift and move off to the side. Some creatures can only be destroyed if two players work together -- one cool creature in particular must be pulled apart to eliminate, with a Link on either side yanking in opposite directions. There are several items in the game that must be utilized to get through, and players can only hold and utilize one item at a time; whatever item they were holding at the time they picked up a different item is dropped in place of the new item. Magnet Gloves can get players across chasms if they aim at a magnetic block...and they can even grab onto distant Links by latching onto their magnetic Shields, pulling them across the hole as well. And the Gnat Hat is an interesting addition, as players who wear the hat will shrink to the size of a bug (basically a couple of pixels tall on-screen) in order to pass through tiny tunnels or across bridges and platforms that a normal Link couldn't fit. The game's full of all sorts of objects that require solo as well as cooperative techniques to get through the extensive challenges. What's more, the game design is intelligent enough to only offer dungeon designs with the amount of players in the network in mind. So, even though the game allows for up to four players to cooperate and compete in the dungeons, the designers realized that this wouldn't always be the case; if only two or three players are in the current network, it will only put forth challenges that only two players need to cooperate...which means, no four-player puzzle elements will enter into play.
This mode is where most of the development time obviously went, because everything about it, from the graphics, sound, gameplay, and interface, are done superbly. This multiplayer mode even incorporates extras that are earned in A Link to the Past; if a special sword technique is earned in the main single-player adventure, it can be used by that player in Four Swords. And those that complete the entire Four Swords adventure can unlock original dungeons and mini-quests in A Link to the Past, unique to the GBA game. So, if the fantastic multiplayer gameplay isn't enough encouragement, the extra quests in the single player adventure should seal the deal.

The link support is near flawless; it keeps track of all four players in the chain no matter how far back or ahead of the pack they go, and it also allows for a decent number of enemies to appear on-screen at once. The action will slow down on occasion when rupees spill onto the screen in a large amount, but from a technical standpoint occasional slowdown in a four player chain during not-so-intense moments is perfectly acceptable. It's an amazingly fun multiplayer experience, even if it tries the patience of everyone in the network chain. Everyone will be yelling at each other from not working together, or accidentally knocking someone off the ledge, or stealing each other's rupees. Even though players will be working together to complete the dungeons, ultimately, they're working against each other to earn the most rupees to collect the level's medallions. And as chaotic as that sounds, this element is one of the many reasons that makes Four Swords such an awesome mode that should not be missed by anyone.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is definitely one of, if not the finest games released on the GBA. While some Zelda fans might be a bit bummed that Nintendo didn't offer Game Boy Advance owners something new to sink their teeth into, they have to realize that the company did do exactly that. Yes, the main package is simply the same Super NES game repackaged for play on the Game Boy Advance, but in all honesty that's only half the package. And offering one of the greatest action adventures in portable form isn't exactly a downside, either.

Four Swords is Nintendo's way of giving gamers something completely new and different in the Zelda environment, and it's one hell of a good time in each play through. This mode is an adventure in itself; it just requires the effort of grabbing one, two, or three other friends to join in the quest. And that's the only real downside to this mode: trying to get a party together to take advantage of this thoroughly-designed experience. It is a slight shame that Nintendo didn't offer just a sliver of Four Swords as a single-cartridge multiplayer mode, even if it was just to offer a scaled-back demo version of the entire Four Swords adventure...but considering how good this entire package is, it won't be hard to find players with a copy of their own.

Fans of pokemon red and blue will love this old skool fun!
WOW! Fans of Pokemon rejoice! For you people out there who think that ruby and shaphire are just too flashy and their repective pokemon weird this is for you.Catupalting you into the old days without have to cope with tinkly music and tinted graphics (red screens for red version? ha ha.)this is great. With all your old freinds(Hi Charizard!)this game will have you throwing away your ruby and saphire in no time. Even if you had the original this is worth it. Anyone who thinks you should pick up the old verison is wrong. Why I gave it four stars: Until you get the RUNNING SHOES (after Brock near the aide)it moves slowly. Safari zone pokemon like Syther and kangashkan are hard to carch. In the beginng its just dumb. Are you a boy or a girl? Is your name red? erm... Whats my grandsons name? Professor oak is soooooooo dumb...
HINTS FOR BEGINNERS
to get your first pokemon try to walk in the grass in palet town. THE LONG GRASS.
get the parcel from the mart in Viridian city. YOU MUST DO THIS!
Anyone who says BULBASAUR is the best starter for beginners is wrong. You can just pick your fav! Train all your pokemon. This will help you move on. Especialy if you cant beat a gym leader. thats all!

ooh
this is gonna be short.
good
fun
like old ones
new sevii islands.
my rival is named a jerk.so the diolong reads:Hey, its a jerk!
thats all ill tell. buy and play!

I can't believe i'm going to write this...
OK, I'm 18 years old and i'm obsessed with pokemon, have been ever since I was 11. but after a long wait I finally got my hands on firered and i'm afraid to say I was disappointed, not because it was poor quality, because it was excellent, but because it lacked a challenge, everything was the same as the original but it had just been revamped, don't get me wrong I love it and everything but I want something new. if you haven't played the original then definitely buy this game but otherwise don't expect something new

freakin fun!
i have so much fun with these games, it's like the #1 thing to play during travel, or just when you have a boring time at the airport. the funniest thing i did was name my pokemon and rival funny names. my rival's name is mud. while my pokemon have names like dumpface. this game will blow you away with the new islands
and hidden pokemon from new pokemon games.

great game!
you know, it's strange. when two pokemon games come out, one eventually outsells the other one! this may be a remake, but has added features, like the six islands you can venture to and find new pokemon from silver, gold, ruby, and sapphire! yipee! ... Read more

Harry potter 3 is the best game yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this game. After I get home from shool I play this game

Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azakaban GBA Game
Very good game, excellent quality. The game sticks to the book more than the movie does! Easiest to play when you start at the begining and work your way up to beat the game. I got the game a few days ago and already I'm on the part where you have to go back to Hogwarts when you come back from the Shrieking Shack. Some parts are tricky though and take a couple of tries to accomplish (i.g. Whomping Willow, Crabbe + Goyle, mazes, etc.).
The game is fun to play and can sometimes be addictive!!!!

Why did you bloody cut out brooms?
I realy love Harry Potter.I think It's safe to say I'm obssesed. So naturally, I bought HP3 on Gamecube and on GBA.I loved them both quite alot, but I always loved QUIDDITCH.I played the game and you don't even see a broom in the Gamecube version, and you see one broom in GBA and you NEVER ride it.It's all Buckbeak.Not that it's not an absolutly wicked idea, I do love to ride Beaky, but I was realy looking forward to Quidditch 3rd year.The GBA version was definatly fun, and I advise you to buy it, but before you do, If you have a Gamecube, PS2, or XBox systom, play it on there first THEN if you like that version buy a portable version (GBA or GBA SP)of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Signed,
Haley (Harry's Girl 4 ever)

Easy Pissy Tips
When you are ending and you are done defeating Malfoy. I suggest you to chose Herminone to get to Sirius. Herminone Is more easy to go through. Belive me, for I have played this game like 6 times already and Harry and Herminone are on level 52 already. It is great!

A Good Game....But Way Too Short
I recently ordered this game, and it just came yesterday afternoon. I have already finished it. Need I say more? The game leaves out many important plot line, never do you fly a broom or play Quiddich, never is the Marauder's Map mentioned, and never do you get to vist Hogesmade. Starting to get my drift? I only rated this game as highly as I did because the graphics are pretty good (for a GBA), and it was pretty fun while it lasted. I am not bragging when I say it took me about 5 hours to beat. I am a gamer who explores the whole game, not just following the plot line. If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, there is no way you will understand what is happening. There are really no puzzles to solve either, everything you have to do is extremely straight forward. Another thing I didn't like about the game was that events that could have been made fun and challenging were not. Let's take the example of the dementors. In the game, they turn this into an incredibly stupid mini-game that has no point whatsoever. This is also the case with flying Buckbeak and defeating the boggart. The replay value is also next to zip because you keep your level when you restart making you too powerful for the game to have any meaning. In conclusion, if you have a lot of money to spend, by all means get the game. If you don't and you are looking for a game that will last you a long time, this is definitly not your game. ...

I'm addicted!!!
I had a GBA for christmas and also had this game and the incredibles.When I tried it at first I was immediateley hooked.This is by far one of the greatest games I have ever played.It has got excellent detail and graphics. you can play as four characters( Shrek, donkey, puss in boots and the gingerbread man).Puss in boots is my favourite.I am going to give you a spot of advice" if you are looking for a game,buy this one,I reccomend it".Some levels are hard and some are not.You just want to know what happens next.THIS GAME IS AUESOME, BUY IT!!!

Tied number 1 for my favorite GBA Game
This game totally rocks! The graphics and sound are great and it is just perfectly put together.There are a lot of levels and the game lasts a long time.The three main charecters are shrek, donkey, and puss in boots.My favorite is puss in boots because he can slide and climb.Its not really an easy game, the levels are challenging enough to be fun, but they are not impossible.The game also explains the story line just in case you havent seen the movie.this game is #1 on my list (tied with mario kart super circuit)and is very good for everyone.This game is appropriate for boys and girls of all ages and is definately worth the money.(its also great for long car trips)

My daughters are hooked on this game - HELP!
I had to write a review for this game.We have many games for for various formats, but they have been addicted to this game for almost three months.My daughters are 8 and 11, and we take a lot of long, boring car trips.I had to buy a second game to keep them from fighting over who gets to play it.
There aren't many gameboy games that my daughters like to play.They are not into fashion or destruction.Games don't have to be boy or girl products.They should be fun, creative, humorous, colorful, and challenging.The Mario games are good examples.This game hits the mark perfectly.

Good game for all ages
This game is good for the entire family from ages. I love the game and its my 4 year old favorite movie and game.

Shrek 2 GBA
The GBA game Shrek 2 was a christmas present for my sister who absolutely adores the Shrek movies and everything associated with it. She completed the game finding it moderately hard and then got me playing it. I must admit this game is really fun but only occasionly is it so hard that you turn off the gameboy in frustration (only to turn it on again 3 seconds later because it's so fun and addictive). This game will entertain you and although i have not completed it yet my sister had completed it 3 or 4 more times.
It is a great game and will keep you entertained although it lost a star in fun rating becuase of it's occaisional difficulty.
I would reccomend this game to you if you are considering buying it and think you might like it. ... Read more

Well, im a casulal gamer..........
Well, im a casulal gamer and you might not want to listen to me but if you do theres a couple things i have to say.First off the game is great, but not educational. you can go to all sorts of lands and find the "krem coins" and feathers and such, i do think they should charge less money for theese "gameboy" games, but i have grat fun overall.


happy gaming, Ziggy

He's back again and about time to.
One of best games for the Super Nintendo is back for the GBA. It is a very fun game and if you missed it for the SNES, then be sure to get it for GBA.

well worth your money
this game is so much fun it will keep you entertained for hours. your options are almost endless. another thing is you cant beat it in one day. there are bounes games also. the graphics are great and it has good music that doesnt get on your nerves in about 30 min. you can also hook up your GBA cable link and play multiplayer. there is so many great things about this game i cant name them all and i dont want to spoil it for all you gamers that dont have the game yet. but if you do have the game then you know how awsome it is! its well worth your money to have a good time. so take my advise and go buy it!

Puss in Boots still has a LONG way to go....
Okay, first thing's first. This game is EXTREMELY short. I was able to get to the final level in about an hour. An HOUR. Without collecting the coins, this game is ridiculous. Some of the levels are fun, most are annoying. Plus, Puss doesn't listem to you. If you were thinking about buying this, think again.

Great and addicting game!
I purchased this game to go along with my son's new Gameboy SP for Christmas. And I have been addicted to it since Christmas morning! My 6 year old son like's the game also. He is just learning to read so there are a few times I have to read the "messages" given to the player. It is played simular to Mario games. You try to find your way out of different levels and as you go along, the levels get harder and you can play as different characters of the movie. The graphics are impressive for such a small screen. Over all a great game for all ages.

Yo People!
Cool game man! Ya get to play as Shrek, Donkey, that cat and Fiona. Ya see, ya do all these different challenges to get past levels man. The best thing is that it almost exactly the same as the movie so ya know what's coming up next. Remember that some of these things are my opinion so don't rate it on my opinion, rate on yours! Get as soon as ya can man!!!

Fun but frustrating
My son received this game for Christmas.He is stuck at the flat top tunnel and cannot go to the next level which makes it very frustrating.I have even tried to and am having difficulties.I really like the game because it's not violent and interesting.Unfortunately my son has lost interest because you can only ski on top of a train for so long.

This is the best game in the World!
i have just completed every level of this game- it was auwsome! you feel like you are in this game while playing it- the graphics really bring out the game's magic! though it was sometimes hard; i managed to do all the levels at a pretty steady pace. this game has kept me occupied for hours. i play it on my nintendo DS. ( you can play GBA games on DS's. ) i don't want to give too much away... buy this game and be amazed!

Maddening yet fun. Does that make sense?
I remember playing this game years upon years ago and still cant believe i beat it while i was about 8 years old. Yikes!

This classic, which spawned tons of great Castlevania games which are still going strong, is intensely difficult and had me on the verge of throwing my Gameboy at the wall more than once.

The first level of this game is extremely easy and gets you into the feel of the game. However, levels 2-5 are extremely hard. From the first time you fight the flying medusa heads or jumping igors you will loathe them and probably have nightmares of them knocking you into pits.

Later in the game you are only allowed 4 hits total before you meet your maker while some of the bosses, like the grim reaper, need about 20 hits to take em down. Not to mention just about every 'jump' you have to make in this game is surrounded by annoying enemies ready to knock you into a sudden death plummet.

Still, this game does bring back fond memories of the fun yet frustrating game. Now we just need them to bring back Castlevania I and II for the Gameboy...

Simon Belmont the vampire slayer is back
Castlevania along with its follow ups CV II simons quest and CV III draculas curse for the NES, even super castlevania IV for the SNES is great. You are Simon Belmont, its you and your trusty whip as you head off To slay Dracula and save the town of Transilvania. But many monsters such as giant bats, Frankentstein, Medusa, Even the Grim Reaper, are out to stop you. And man the Grim Reaper is totally a pain in the ass. You get additional weapons such as axes, knives, holy water, boomerangs, all that good stuff. This game is insanly difficult but it is always fun to play none the less. Its fun to whip your way through levels like a pro only this time you can do it on road trips, on the airplane, even in your own bathroom! This classic old school is definently worth lashing out 20$ unlike some of the other titles in the classic nes series. If you are sick of the later Castlevania games and wish you could have a simple point A to point B sort of game with unbelievebly difficulties as you make your way through castlevania, this game is for you. If you never played an old school cv game or any cv game what so ever, get this now and experiance what its like to be the vampire slayer...all on your gba. Oh, and if you loved this, go out and buy a super nintendo and get Super Castlevania IV! BEST CASTLEVANIA EVER!!

Great Classic Game
I have never played this game for the NES but now I have eventually played this game for the 1st time. and incase people didn't know Konami also Released a CastleVania Game not only for the SNES, N64, Game Boy Advance, They also did some games for the Playstation and the Playstation2.

P.S. I also think that Castlevainia reminds me of watching the Monster films, Frankenstein, The Mummy, and Dracula Starring Christapher Lee (Lord of the Rings).

Castlevania....
First thing you have to ask yourself before buying any of the Classic NES titles, is it worth it for this Classic NES title? Depends on your love for that particular series. For me, personally, there are very few in the Classic NES series that I feel is worthy of its' price. Castlevania is, at least to me. What I love most about this port of the classicis how challenging this game is. I'll agree with another reviewer in that only the truly hardcore, diehard gamer will probably finish this game. It's that challenging but well worth it.Do I recommend it? Definitely. Course, if you're looking for another Symphony of the Night, you're not going to find it here. However, it doesn't mean it isn't a great game. If you want to see where the series all began, this is the one to get.

Hopefully, Nintendo & Konami will rerelease Simon's Quest and Dracula's Curse in the Classic NES series, too. Those are classics worth owning as well.

A classic gets new life
Castlevania (1987.) The first game in the classic series.

Over the years, Konami has become one of the best-known video gaming third party corporations out there - for a number of reasons. But, their most popular series of all would have to be the vampire-killing franchise, Castlevania. Konami released the first installment of the series on Japanese consoles in 1986. The American arcade game got its release the same year. And the following year, 1987, the game reached American consoles. In 2004 the game got a Game Boy Advance rerelease in the Classic NES series of games! Read on for my review of Castlevania - the first game in a now-legendary franchise.

PROS:
-FOR ITS DAY AND AGE, THESE WERE SOME OF THE BEST VIDEO GAME GRAPHICS OUT THERE. The on-screen graphics move along at a pretty decent pace, and slow-down is very minimal. As far as the NES in the eighties goes, the graphics didn't get a whole lot better than this.
-PLAY CONTROL IS SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT. Basically you move, crouch, jump, attack, and attack with a secondary weapon. This was one of the first video games to feature a secondary weapon - a video gaming feature which has since been copied countless times.
-IT'S CHALLENGING. If you're a fan of side-scrolling platformers and you're looking for a good challenge, this game will give you the best of both worlds!
-FINALLY, THE GAME HAS A SAVE FEATURE! A lack of this feature caused me to give the original game only three stars, but now that it's here, I'm obligated to give a four-star rating.

CONS:
-PLAY CONTROL CAN SEEM VERY STIFF AT TIMES. Your character has no midair jump control whatsoever, which can make life a living hell. Also, having to hold up on the control pad to use a secondary weapon can be a pain (why didn't Nintendo change it so that you could use one of the GBA's shoulder buttons for this?) And let's not forget about scaling flights of stairs - that's where the control is at its worse.
-THIS GAME IS MORE OF A CHALLENGE THAN THE AVERAGE GAMER WILL WANT. I know, there are some die-hard gamers out there that live for a good challenge - but I bet this game will be too difficult even for them.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a very good game for being the first entry in the series, but in comparison to later games in the series it just isn't that great. The NES follow-ups, Simon's Quest and Dracula's Curse, are WAY better (even if Simon's Quest is a drastically different game - THOSE two, the latter in particular, need a Classic NES rerelease as well.) Still, if you're a sucker for eight-bit side-scrollers, you can't go wrong with this game.

A Yu Yu Hakusho Game With A Difference
Picking up the Yu-Yu Hakusho storyline from the Dark Tournament saga, players take control of 5 Yu Yu Hakusho character to go all the way and win the tournament. Being simular in gameplay to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, I was already pleased that this game was taking it's form. The game is enjoyable, with intresting cutscenes and it always feels good when a new character joins your squad. You need to have a strategic mind to play however, and it is really annoying when you put in all the time and effort to defeat the opponent, for one of them wipes out one of your squad in 1 or 2 hits. Overall, a really good game that appeals to not just Yu Yu Hakusho fans, but prior knowledge of the show and Dark Tourament saga will allow you to enjoy the game better.

Legacy of Spirits
I thoroughly enjoyed this game.Yes, it does smell of Pokemon in the battle aspects.But I say the graphics are good, and I love the story.It follows Yoh's adventure from episode 1, meeting Manta, Amidamaru, Anna, Harusame, Mosuke, etc.And ends with hints of a new adversary in Zeke.As a fan of the manga and anime, I enjoyed catching up on the early episodes, taking much of the plot and dialogue direct from it and experiencing it.There's a few places it could improve.There was never much of a big challenge, especially as long as I had Amidamaru.I didn't have much need for items so I never ran out of money.I beat the game in about a week.I wish the game made some differentiation when using Unity Spirit Form or when using Oversoul.It'd be nice to play as the other Shamans and get to use their powers, or be able to use their abilities out of battle.But the story and script is well written, if the game seems a little young for me.

I enjoyed the mini-missions, helping out lost earthbound spirits, helping the spirits of a child who never had cats and an unsuccessful salesman pass on to the next world..Other choices, like which cd to buy at the store..Very humorous script had me laughing out loud at parts.It was fun when watching two characters have a fight during the cut scenes!4 stars.

HORIBBLE RIP-OFF!!!
I got this game mixed up with Master of spirits and oh man did I make a mistake. People if you buy this make sure that you can get your money back. Its the stupidest pokemon-style turn-based battle system ever. The only time you see Yoh and other human characters is when walking around in horrible graphic chibi-mode, and then you control random spirits that never appear in the show to fight your enemies simply by pushing "attack" or "item" then your hp is lowered, or the oppenonts is. LAMEST GAME EVER!!!! If your going to buy a Shaman King game, either buy Master of Spirits or Power of Spirit.

let the hawk soar high !!!!!!
This game is an awesome game its one of the best game ever its way better than than pokemon and dbz (my opinion) you shoul get this game i give it 4 and a half star and an 8.9 so over all its awesome not a waste of money youll like it and the shaman king is awesome its cool he can be one with his blue spirit guy i love the series and the games.im kinda of a fan ...

I HATE it!
Just to let you know, I am not a kid under the age of 13. [...]This game is totally not enjoyable. I mean who would enjoy a boy with no shirt on running around in his nightmares. On christmas day I was truly dissapointed to see this game under my tree and under some tacky wrapping paper. I was expecting the DS(not in that box) or at least Donkey Kong Country 2. I am not a fan of tak games I am not into magic and all that crazy crap. As I played the game, it was okay, not good but okay, but it got a little fustrating for me and I started to hate it. It is expecially fustrating when you run out of power and it makes an annoying sound when you try to doing an action using your staff. After that one day I stopped playing it. I let my godbrother borrow it (he is into that stuff) and he kept it instead, but I didn't care, it's not like I wanted it back. Overall this game has okay gameplay, corny graphics, and overall, to me it is between horrible and alright

This game rocks!!!
I really like this game and think it is excellent.The graphics are great and even though the game play is side scrolling it'll keep you occupied for hours with worlds full of platforms, bogs, spikes, blocks etc.
For the first time you can interact with animals and even though it isn't as good as the other systems where you can morph into them it's very useful and makes the game more interesting. For instance if you want to cross a bog you have to hop on a turtle to get across without dieing and if you have to get through a current hop on a bear to cross.If you need to get to a ledge higher up jump on a sheep, and you've probably figured out what birds can do.
The only thing wrong with it is that the rifts have lots of gray but it makes that up in detail.The best thing is all of the worlds give you many opportunities to use your juju powers.Here are a few things to look out for:
* If you want to cross a long gap to get to a ledge, block, etc. you'll probably want to use the spirit of air, this is extremely useful in the dream world because you can float to blocks hidden in the real world and find potions.
* Use the spirit of strength to pound the ground, break breakable blocks, and kill enemies
* Use the spirit of earth to roll and hurt your enemies. (NOTE you can roll, break blocks and hurt enemies but the shelled ones have to be facing forward.Also you can jump only not as high.
* Use the spirit of movement to teleport over thick walls.
I think this game is excellent and deserves five stars.

Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams.....
If you're like me, you love to play games on your Playstation 2 but you'd love to take some of those games on the go with you.
