2-0 out of 5 stars Tedious
Imagine a 10-hour, black-and-white version of Star Wars in which Luke Skywalker gets hopelessly lost in every scene, and you'll have a good idea of what this game is like.

1-0 out of 5 stars No.
I hate this game, it makes me want to kill myself.

4-0 out of 5 stars Star Wars
Beyond this games [bad] graphics, it is a pretty good game. It would be nice if you could save it. I do think you should buy this game. It is very fun.

1-0 out of 5 stars Well, at least the movie's great
Games based on movies tend to be horrible. And even the majesty of Star Wars is lost on this horrendous game. Pitiful graphics, extreme difficulty, ear piercing sound, awkward play contol, all this just begins to describe this horrible game. Do not even play this under any circumstance. You'll get so fed up with the game that you'll pay someone to take it from you.

1-0 out of 5 stars Star Wars

5-0 out of 5 stars One hecka fun game!
I think this is the best DKL game ever made. It can be hard to see at times (Or just plain HARD!), but it's still a good, fun game to play. I totally support that other guy's suggestion that there should be a GBA/DS remake.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good Game But Its on the SP
This game is the same as Donkey Kong Country. Same Music. Same Baddies. Same EVERYTHING! If you want to buy this, go buy Donkey Kong Country which has BETTER graphics. 4/5 Dudes.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good, but could've been way better.
This game wasn't all that bad. The Graphics were poor to the point that i couldn't see any secret areas. The controls were very good. The concept was great and the game (minus the graphics) itself was great, but the graphics messed it up. I hope Rare re-makes this game for the advance, for it could be a major hit.

1-0 out of 5 stars Come on, I know Nintendo can do better than that!
This game stunk in almost everything, from graphics to sound to gameplay to controls. It was too hard to play due to the fact that the graphics were too poor. It was too difficult to see if there were any secret entrances. Plus the controls weren't great either. It was a little difficult to control DK. This game was good when i first bought it, but than got boring to the point that i ended up selling it. I regret the day i ever brought this game.I'd rather buy DK Country 1 than this piece of junk. In my opinion, this was the worst Donkey Kong game ever made.

4-0 out of 5 stars An Original GB DK
This is about what you can expect from portable Donkey Kong game. It is dumbed down compared to SNES titles. Gameplay is pretty good, but not as impressive as DK Land 2. Graphics never impressed me, but aren't bad either. Sound is pretty decent though. Overall not a bad buy, but one of the weakest links in the franchise. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars this game is bad
dear readers DO NOT BUY THIS GAME in the begining the game was great then it became so easy if you want a challenging game don't get this one it is not good its impossible to get a base hit you get 1 base hit every 10 times you are up99% of the time you get a home run 0% of the time you steal a base you cant save the game so if you do season and you let's sayyou play 3season games then you shut it off you turn it back on it is erased that means you dont have those 3 games you played you can't make an erorr.

4-0 out of 5 stars GOOD GAME!
ok this game rocks there are lot's of thing's to do in this game including home run derby and allstar and much more this game is worth every penny.

2-0 out of 5 stars OK game
This game can be entertaining, but only for a while.The graphics are fine for Gameboy, but everything else is not very realistic.It is way too easy to win- home runs can be hit 25% of the time while at bat.The codes for accessing saved games are too complicated with strange letters and numbers.It is way too monotonous of a game, and is not worth buying.

5-0 out of 5 stars Hits one out of the Park
This game more than lives up to the advanced hype. An eight year olds dream. Super graphics and realistic detail down to the mini-national anthem. Endless playing options although some could be simpler to use. Overall,small screen portable games don't get much better than this

5-0 out of 5 stars I really like it. It's fun

4-0 out of 5 stars Daughter loved this game
I purchased this for my 10yr old daughter [her first gameboy game] and she loved it.It was easiest enough so that she did not become frustrated with it.. and yet hard enough that it took several days to win.Her 12yr old brother [a game addict] even found the game entertaining and enjoyed it as well.I recommend this to anyone looking for a good, family quality, entertaining game.

2-0 out of 5 stars It's ok
I am a huge dog fan so I bought this as my first gameboy color game. At first I was happy with the game, but it was too easy. With the exception of about 3 levels where you have to A. Bark at two men to get a key to open a door, B. Bark continually at an evil toymaker to beat the level, C. Bark into a sound projector to defeat Cruella DeVil, all the leves are the same! Find the miniscule, hard-to-see key and open all the cages! The only hard part to me was the level called "Research Laboratory" Where there were these weird platforms with up arrows on them and I couldn't figure out how to use them! Just jumping on them doesn't do anything, and I finally figured out that you hold the B button down while on the platforms without continually pressing it and wait till your puppy flys high enough to reach the last platform. Another con is the music. All the loud beeps, boops, and annoying twangy tunes that repeat themselves can really get on your nerves! The good thing is, after you beat the game, you get two codes for two fairly fun mini games. But even they get too easy for an experienced gamer. I will not deny you some enjoyment; the codes are: tank, dice, dice, tank, AND tank, dice, dice, dice. Have some fun!

I guess this game could be fun for a younger person but I wouldn't reccomend it for anyone 9 and up at least. I am 11 and beat it in two days, and I bet a lot of people could beat it faster.

5-0 out of 5 stars Really fun!!!!
I got this game for my birthday and I also have the Playstation Version.I am very thankful that i have this game because it is very fun.I've beaten the wholegame now.Tip:After you have beaten Cruella,stay and get points before you leave.Than go to a level with alot of bones and you may see something cool happen!!

5-0 out of 5 stars 101 Dalmations Good Game
Generally most games that are based on movies are just rip-offs that are made for the hype, but this is a very fun game. It's pretty fun, and the only problem is it's short. Better for younger gamers.

5-0 out of 5 stars GREAT Game: So Much Fun! So Many Levels!
This is a great game that has a big selection of fun stuff. You want to play more and more. It has challenges to make it fun,but not to hard.I'd rate this five stars any day! A little tip: On level four you have to go to the second floor on the left last! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars All star baseball 2004
It is a fun and exiting game. Select helps you hit power. Make sure you have good defensive players too.

4-0 out of 5 stars This game needs work
First off, this game would be all right if it were not for the HORRIBLE baserunning.Not to mention the AI of the baserunners. It will appear obvious that a ball will drop for a hit but the runners will hold and wait until it falls, sometimes getting thrown out in the process. I am not sure if the runners are just slow, the outfielders all have cannons for arms or what but I have been thrown out at first with a single to right field. The hitting is OK, the ball DOES NOT always just go up the middle, try reading the instruction manual on hitting before playing. You must first select the area of the park you want the ball to go before you hit, or do it as the pitch is coming. Keep in mind however, that the latter is extremely to do as the difficulty setting is increased. You cannot slide in any way either, this makes it nearly impossible to steal a base, not to mention hit a triple. So...

Graphics 4
Gameplay 3
Controls 1
Fun to Play 3
Overall 3

Oh, by the way, how many friggin cards do I need to unlock anything?

Also, in the team managment portion, the game will not allow you to trade willingly with other teams.For example, you cannot trade your sub-caliber players for Bonds or Thome, and that is ridiculously LAME.

Some other things that would make this game better:
Bench clearing brawls
The ability to charge the mound
Rain and other elements during a game
Create-a-player mode
First names of players

2-0 out of 5 stars Good graphics, poor gameplay
The two stars for this game are both for graphics. This game has by far the best graphics of any baseball game available for GBA. Graphics are nice, but it doesn't make a game.

Gameplay is bad. There's nothing else to say. When you do get a hit, it always goes up the middle. Baserunning is a joke, you can get thrown out at first from the outfield. Pitching is ok, but I've never enjoyed pitching on any baseball game. I'm interested in batting and running.

Don't buy this game. I traded mine in for something else.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good game
This game is really fun when you first get it. But after a while you get bored of it. The controles are hard but after a while you get used to them.

5-0 out of 5 stars Now here's a game
I have been trying to find a good baseball game for ps2 or gameboy with the classic teams like some of the old negro leagues. This is the first game that i have seen that has them. if u have a spare 20.00 buy this game on gba. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Worms: Armageddon is one of those weird titles that,despite its numerous flaws, still keeps us coming back for anotherround. The premise is extremely simple: use your four worms to bombardyour opponent's four worms using a variety of heavy weaponry until noenemies are left standing to fire back. The execution is a little morecomplicated, as actually hitting targets requires accurately gauging thewind, as well as applying just the right amount of power to your shot.Of course, you'll also benefit from some good old-fashioned luck.

Due to the inferior processing power of the Game Boy Color platform,this version of Worms: Armageddon does sacrifice some of thefeatures found in the game on other systems. Most notably, the weaponsare nowhere near as varied as those found on the Nintendo 64 andPlayStation versions. The good news is that there is a lot of instantgratification to be found in this game. Each match is relatively briefsince a sudden death mode kicks in after awhile. In this mode, allremaining worms have their health reduced to the point where a poorlytimed sneeze will cause them to expire. This isn't the sort of title youcan play for hours on end, but it's perfect for a 10-minute gaming fix.--T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

  • Skilled shots are extremely satisfying
  • Need only 1 Game Boy Color for a 2-player game
Cons:
  • Bland weapons
  • Small screen size hurts gameplay

4-0 out of 5 stars FUN FUN FUN!
Its alot like the computer and PSX version. Although its a bit tuff to see who is on your side and who is on the other. It also dosent have the funny voices.

3-0 out of 5 stars If you are a serious junkie...its so so...
Okay. I am a Worms Junkie. I love the game...(Worms Armageddon/World Party for PC). The Gameboy color version is about what you would expect from its primitive 8-bit processor. If you are considering buying this version, dont. The Gameboy Advance version, Worms World Party, is almost a near perfect conversion from the PC. I have the first screenshots, and it looks beautiful.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good ol' fashioned fun
Worms Armageddon on PC is my favourite game: you just can't get enough of it! So when I saw the GBC version on the shelves, I hurried to buy it. Well, although it has some flaws, I rate it the third best Gameboy Colour game, after Pokémon Gold and Tetris DX.

What I found disappointing was the lack of weapons. You don't even get ninja rope! But all the basic ones are there, like bazooka and firepunch. You even get some extras like battleaxe and armageddon (although armageddon is far more impressive on the PC). But the worst feature in the game is the sound. Not only have they cut out the dialogue, but they have changed the music into high-pitched digital tunes that sueak and squeal throughout the whole game (that is why I play with the sound off). My only other grumble is that it's a bit easy; I clocked the whole thing in about a week.

Apart from these, the game plays really well. The graphics are outstanding for gameboy, with highly detailed and colourful stages. Also, the stage design is much better than the PC version, with more emphasis on jumping skills (I love the pirate ship!). The controls are like worms 1, where you scroll through the weapons using the a and b button. Also, you can earn new themes by winning three times in a match (there are 48 in total).

Worms is a really awesome series, and the GBC version really hits the mark, although it can be improved. All worms veterans who own a gameboy colour should go and buy it; and for all you newbies, this game makes a fun diversion and has you coming back for more!

4-0 out of 5 stars A perfect game to pick up and play at any time
I was doubtful about this game before I purchased it, but I found it on sale, and let me just say that I'm really glad I got it.Worms is aturn-based strategy game that is definately toungue-in-cheek, so if yourlooking for a die-hard strategy game, look elswhere.On the other hand, ifyou ARE looking for a fun game that you can kill some time with and havelaugh, then this is a good choice.The AI in Worms isn't that advanced, soit won't be long before you look at the terrain being a bigger challengethan the enemy worms, but it is still a blast to lay waste to theopposition.To me, this is what Gameboy titles should be: A shortdiversion that you can play while on the bus, waiting in a doctor's office,on a trip, etc., etc., etc.You WILL find yourself addicted to it, but youdon't have to play for hours upon hours to get any deep satisfaction out ofit. I do wish that there were more options and a way to save your progress,but it's still a perfect time waster (and I mean that in a good sense.)

4-0 out of 5 stars worms armageddon
worms is a great game. You control worms in more then 50 levels with 14 wepons including bazoka, grenade, fire punch, dynimite, telport, baseball bat, jet pack, shotgun, airstrike, battle axe, blow tourch, sheep, bannabomb, and armogeddon.

In the game ypu can control 1-4 worms in one gamethat can last 5 10 or 15 minutes, In each game you can have 1, 3, or 5rounds.

I gave it 4 stars because the screen is too small in game boycolor. also in the nintendo 64 version you have about 60 wepons compared to14 on gbc. The graphics are ok but the squeaky voices have been cut out. Itis 5 stars if you have never played the pc or nintendo 64 version.I wouldrecommend buying the pc or nintendo 64 version unless you are looking for aportable version. ... Read more

It's a great game, the tricks are great! there are a million new tricks.
there is also a new balance bar, so when you r grinding down a bar, you have to balance not to fall off! this makes the game alot more fun. the new places you skate in are so much better then THPS2, they have more jumps, bars and all that stuff.
I would recommend to get this game and play!

1-0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN
This game is so bad that you can not geet to the next level you fall a lot it is hard to contral and there is no point ofthis game .

I think has alot more than 1 and 2. It has Single Session unlike 1 and 2 they don't have Single Session. It has so much more levels, But it's a little different than 2. I own 2 and 3. I like hows there's more terrian and more grind poles and jumps. The graphics are not as good as two. I just can't wait for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4

Amazon.com Review

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 doesn't look or play quite likeits other incarnations, but the amount of death-defying--or seriousinjury-defying--tricks you can pull off, and the wild level design,graphics, and responsive controls all work amazingly well for thehandheld.

With an overhead isometric view and its use of only four buttons, Hawkvets will need to readjust their attacks. Still, we were amazed by howmany tricks have been crammed into this cartridge. For the most part,the visuals are clear and detailed and the skaters are incredibly wellanimated.

Gameplay hasn't changed much. Initially, there are six levels available(more are unlocked as rewards). After picking a skater, you mustperform tricks and locate items to earn loot for buying new gear, whichwill enable you to improve your skater's stats and continue to the nextskate park. The game is sadly without some of the cooler features ofthe big consoles. For example, you cannot create parks or skaters, andmultiplay is sorely missed.

The feeling of accomplishment one gets when perfectly landing a stuntis just as satisfying on the GBA as it is on the PS One and Dreamcastversions. Even folks who don't like skateboarding games will thinkTony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is a great (and addictive) achievementfor the handheld platform. --Mark Brooks

Pros:

  • Incredibly fluid and detailed graphics
  • Responsive controls
  • Many, many tricks
Cons:
  • Somewhat steep learning curve for all gamers, even Tony Hawk vets
  • Missing features of older versions, such as player and parkcreation
  • No multiplayer feature

5-0 out of 5 stars Tony Hawk 2
Though Tony Hawk's Pro Skater isn't new to the handheld market (it's been ported to the Game Boy Color in original and sequel forms), GBA developer Vicarious Visions has performed a stunning, overwhelmingly impressive job with a portable rendition of one of the best console games produced this decade. Though the game had to be scaled back for the system to handle, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on the Game Boy Advance is a true testament to the capabilities of the hardware, mirroring the outstanding gameplay of the original console design. Of all the titles that were produced for the Game Boy Advance's US launch, this game is the top of the heap...and it will most likely remain there for the rest of the year. Good? Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is great.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is a fantastic game, and the Game Boy Advance version is no exception. It's one of those games where you can pop in, play a round for a few minutes before putting it away...which makes it perfect on the handheld. The Game Boy Advance version is also a technical marvel, providing the first true polygonal game on the system

5-0 out of 5 stars A Great game for all Skateboarders!
Tony Hawk hit the jackpot when he and Activision Software Company came out with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.The sequel to the game was an even bigger hit, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.The second game was different in some ways.There are more objectives to accomplish in order to get to the next level.The game has new features like new skaters and Park Editor.I played the game and beat within a couple of days.Every time I play the game I figure out something new, like hidden areas, different tricks, and how to score more points.It helped me when I was skateboarding in real life.I learned new tricks through seeing how they perform them.I would recommend this game to anyone who is a skateboarder or is thinking about skateboarding.If your just looking for a cool game, this is it.

GBC has come out with one of there best Wrestling Games, It isn't just the coolest, It isn't just the best, It is from Acclaim Sports, That my Friends is Justin Credible.

It is one of the fastest games out there, and ithas a career mode you can play too.The only thing is that u can't link upwith a friend to play. But that is ok since you can do a bunch of stuff inthis game. With alot of signature moves. The only thing i warn you of forthis Extreme Game is while riding with your parents don't start any familarchants like @ss Hole in the backseat, or Spontanuesly yell "E C f'nW".

3-0 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars - better than people say it is
The Castlevania series is, without question, one of the greatest two-dimesional side-scrolling platformer action game series of all time. Unfortunately, the series had its share of blunders, too, one of which being the first entry on the Game Boy - the game had an extremely slow character, jerky play control, and virtually no replay value. Fortunately, the second Game Boy entry renewed my faith in the series having potential on a portable console. Circa 1998, this (the third Game Boy Castlevania), featuring Super Game Boy enhancements, was released. How does this measure up? Read on for my review of Castlevania Legends.

PROS:
-THE CONTROL IS CONSIDERABLY LESS STIFF THAN IT WAS IN EARLIER GAME BOY CASTLEVANIA GAMES. Your character moves a little faster than in the previous two entries on the handheld, and you have midair jump control - something the series often lacks. Overall, the controls generally feel more responsive, too.
-THERE ARE TWO DIFFICULTY LEVELS, MAKING THE GAME IDEAL TO PLAYERS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS. If you choose the Standard Mode, you start the game with a regular whip and must upgrade it like in any Castlevania game. But if you choose the Light Mode, you start the game with a whip that shoots fireballs and never loses this ability.
-THE GAME FEATURES SUPER GAME BOY ENHANCEMENTS. If you're one of those people who still has a Super Nintendo and you have a Super Game Boy and this game, you can take advantage of these enhancements.
-THE GAME SERVES AS A PREQUEL TO THE OTHER CASTLEVANIA GAMES. This game is, essentially, the origin of how the Belmonts became vampire hunters. Also, you actually get some of the storyline in the game, so you don't necessarily have to read the instructions to get the whole story.
-YOU CAN SAVE YOUR PROGRESS WITH PASSWORDS. This is a very good feature, because it means you don't have to complete the game in a single sitting.
-FINALLY, A CASTLEVANIA GAME THAT LETS YOU PLAY AS A FEMALE CHARACTER! I don't know about you guys, but I was getting sick of playing as a bunch of male Belmonts who all looked and played the same.

CONS:
-THE GAME FAILS TO TOP ITS GAME BOY PREDECESSOR, BELMONT'S REVENGE. As good a game as this is, the predecessor was better in a number of ways.
-THE GAME'S "PREQUEL" STORYLINE HAS BEEN RENDERED OBSOLETE BY THE NEW PLAYSTATION 2 CASTLEVANIA, LAMENT OF INNOCENCE. Lament Of Innocence takes place before this game, meaning that this game no longer fills its role as the "first game in the series to take place." As much as I like this series, Konami has a tendency to create plenty of plot holes.
-THE SUPER GAME BOY ENHANCEMENTS REALLY ADD NOTHING TO THE GAME. The color scheme provided by the accessory is pretty much monochromatic, and the border is nothing special either. Why not just play it on a regular old Game Boy?

OVERALL:
Overall this is a good but not great entry in the classic vampire killing series. If you can find it for a low price, I recommend purchasing it. This game is not nearly as bad as people say it is - it's actually quite enjoyable.

2-0 out of 5 stars Not all that good
I got a chance to play this a few years back, and to be honest, I didnt like it. I felt the gameplay to be VERY SLUGGISH, and just outright boring.
I am not a HUGE fan of the Castlevania series, but I did LOVE SOTN. I thought that was a GREAT PS1 game. I felt Legends to be very shallow in most parts, but the game was not all that bad. I just wish that the programmers could of spent more time making the gameplay more exciting, but instead they didnt. Get this game if you are a fan of the series, but if you are not, then dont bother wastening your 20 bucks.

1-0 out of 5 stars Where did they go wrong?
You play as a chick. Okay, that's the absolute best part of the game. The music is pretty good but the play-control is very sluggish. The game just seems too shallow. I hope Sonia returns in a game that can do her justice, after all, she IS the very fisrt Belmont (according to Konami) generation-wise.

5-0 out of 5 stars A great game!
Castlevania legends is again a very good game like all of its predesesors. I recommend it a lot!

4-0 out of 5 stars castlevania lengends
