Entertaining
There are few games that can hold my attention for long. Though I agree that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for Gameboy Advance is easy, I'm inexplicably addicted to it. The puzzles are not particularly challenging, per se, but it makes you feel good when you can actually SOLVE them at all, unlike other games where you're stumped for days.

It's an easy, lighthearted game that's good for passing your time with -- and the graphics make great eyecandy too.

this is a fairy well game... but ...
ok... i though that this was hard at first but... all of a sudden all you know is that you are at the very end! like it's cool...
but the grafics are ok.. and the music is normal...
all in all i give this item a 4 star cause it's ends really fast!
but i would advise it!

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't own this game but my friend does. It is so cool the first time I played it I did'nt wont to stop. I woke up at 4:30 am to play the game and I did'nt stop till 5:00 pm. It is so great by the game it is the best!

Totally Frustrating
I HATED it. It is way too hard for the biginning gamer...one mistake...and start ALL OVER. I hate to say it, but this is the worst game I've ever had

Uhh..
Its a cool game, but I was very dissapointed with it. Its so..frustrating. Naturally, video games are supposed to be challenging, but this game just gets on my nerves. One mistake, and you have to start all over... ... Read more

great game
this was a fun game better then pokemon thats for sure i beated this game 100 times its so easy and fun i think you would like it too.

hello! get with it!!!
This is the best game I have ever played.If you like Pokemon Ruby or Saphire you will love this.You gain attacks and get levels to help you.The ice attack is the best.I would reccomend this for 8-12 year olds.

Soooooooooo fun
I had no thought of getting another game. I went straight to it in the store. I thought that the game would be a lot easier. But I spent hours trying to figure the first part out. When I finally figured the game out,I couldn't take my eyes off it. It's a great game!!!!

Great mini games
How in the world am I going to beat ARAGOG?!?! I just can't beat it. The only thing I like was that the mini games were good. But this is a game where you can get stuck easily, so DON'T BUY IT!!!! Get Super Mario Bros. Deluxe That game is much better

Harry Potter is back ! ! ! ! !
Harry Potter is back in a great new adventure. When I bought this game it was so mutch fun that I did not want to stop. The game is so cool but sometimes it is very hard like at the giant spider aragog. You get to fly to Hogwarts batle your enemy's earn new spll's and be Harry Potter! I have so mutch fun.

Animorphs well the books are great
This game is okay if get past all the down sides. But bassicly its like a wannabe Pokemon game.
Pros- 1. You get to play as Jake,Cassie,Marco,and Rachel.
2. A lot of animals and Insects to aquire and its fun searching for new animals.
3. Some missions are fun.
4. You get to play as animals like dolphin, bat, mole, seal.
5. you can go around town like an animal.
6. Jakes mission is long.
Cons- 1.You have to write down a long long long code as soon as it says your proggress has been saved.
2. Cassies mission sucks.
3. You don't get to fight visser three.
4. The game can be hard.
5. You can only get seven morphs then you have to eraseone.
6. If anybody sees you morph you lose
7. You can't play as ax or tobias.
8. Most of the time you al you do is bite.
So if you find it for 5 bucks or if your a diehard Animorphs fan like me pick this one up.

The worst game I've ever played.
This is the worst game I've ever played.I am a huge fan of the Animorphs books, however, the makers of this game obviously did not bother to read any of the book series.This game is a Pokémon rip off where you collect different morphs but leaves out important features such as experience points.This game is an insult to the intelligence of Animorphs fans and K.A. Applegate's talent as a writer.

The books are great, but the game should be burned
This RPG wannabe is not worth the money you pay for it. Once again this is one of those games you're better off burning your money on than purchasing. If you've ever wondered how bad a game could possibly be, all you have to do is play this game. Because it's just not bad, it's abyssmal. The horrible RPG set up results in you either getting killed far too easy, or not knowing what you're doing. I never thought I'd see a game that I'd actually despise with every ounce of my being. But this is one of them.

Don't be fooled, Animorphs fans!
I am an Animorphs fan so I bought this game, but this game is not much like Animorphs at all. It is more like a cheap copy of Pokemon! You battle aliens and other animals with different attacks. The attacks can lower defence, lower accuracy, lower attack power, or weaken the alien. The attacks will almost always miss, so battles could go on for hours at a time! This may seem like a strategy game, but there is almost no stragtegy involved! You can morph anywhere you want and you don't even need to worry about the two hour time limit! Besides that, the game is really hard to save and the directions aren't clear. On the first level you have no idea what you are supposed to be looking for! The manual says almost nothing and the game doesn't even tell you what anything about the level! I have had this game for over a year and I still don't know what to do on the first level! Trust me, wandering around aimlessly is incredibly boring after the first few minutes! Saving is very frusturating and it takes so long it isn't even worth it! And unlike the Animorphs books, this game has a terrible storyline! Don't let the name fool you, every aspect of this game stinks!

Mission:Animorphs
The Animorphs game is challenging so I would recommend this to people who are 8 and up or to those who have long attention spans. Thisgame has 5 challengeing levels In which you have to defeat the Yeerks,Tiny Alien Slugs Which crawl into your brain and take total control over you,and thier leader Visser Three.{The only yeerk ever to obtaine an Andalite body.} In each level you play as one of the animorph characters Cassie, Jake, Marco, and Ax.{An Andalite. It has a humans upper body, a scorpions tail, a deers body, and it has no mouth because They eat with thier hooves. they also have two almond shape eyes and have two eyes on stalks.}Another member of the group is Tobias, you wont get to play as him because he is a nothlit, a person trapped in a animal body,But he does give you helpful hints and clues. Which reminds me there is a time limit to morphing,Two Hours, if you stay in morph past the time limit you will become a nothlit and the game will end, But you don't need to worry because Tobias will let you know when your time is almost up. In the game you have to acomplish tasks to get Animal morphs such as, you have to get the snake before you can get stronger morphs such as the lion and the elephant. As I said before it's challengeing but it's worth it. ... Read more

VERY-VERY Nice game!!
This is a fun casino game.It doesn't come with horse racing, as someone else already mentioned.Craps, Blackjack, and Roulette: These are the "table" games on the cartridge.I don't think these games could be any better for a portable.The graphics are pretty nice, betting is easy, and the game moves along at a nice pace.Poker and Keno:These are video games, and play fairly similar to what you find in a casino.They are a little slow, because when you win, they scroll up, and down to show you the payouts and what combination you hit.Gets a little old after a while, but you get used to it.Slots: 3 bizarre slot machines.It would have been more fun if they had gotten permission to copy double diamonds, or ballon bars from IGT or some other slot manuf.I don't like slots in a casino, so I rarely play these.They do work, and payout from time to time.Overall, I'd say this is one of the better games for the GBA.

Enjoyable Game
I just got this game to take on a long car ride with me, and it's great.It's just like playing in the real casinos, i don't know how you could have a bad review.I guess just maybe expecting they are expecting too much out of a very cheap game...

Could have been better
I tried this game, and it makes the Game Gear Version look a whole lot better. In the GG version, you actually walk around the casino to the different games. You go to the ATM for money. and there is Video Horse Racing. I am glad i picked up the GG version at [the store] than wasting my money on the GBA version.

Boring
Games are well put together, graphics good. No complexity or motivation in game at all. No high roller level, no competition or real excitement at all. I thought that was what gambling was all about.

Average Gambling Game
This game features blackjack, video poker, video keno, roulette, craps, and slots.It gives a good simulation of each of these games.I was a little disappointed that more games like paigow poker, baccarat, 5 or 7 card stud, big 6 wheel, etc. were not in this game.A lot of reviews I've read for this game claim that you can play video horse racing.This is the main reason I bought this game, but it's not an option.I emailed majesco and they replied that these reviews that list video horse racing were done when the game was in the development stage and video horse racing was pulled before the game was finalized.Aside from this disappointment for me, the games you can play are very good and realistic.There's 4 variations of video keno, video poker, and 3 variations of slots.There isn't much depth in the cartridge, just select the game you want and play.It would be nice to unlock other games video horse racing, paigow poker) if you won an X amount of money so you'd have something to play for.To continue your progress after you turn the game off, you receive a 10 character password, which some letters like b and h, and hard to tell the difference.A battery backup would have been better.If you love to gamble, pick this game up, otherwise it's not worth it. ...

Cute little game
Ever since the Game Boy Advance hit the market exactly a year ago, the Game Boy Color titles have pretty much slowed to a virtual trickle. Most people have moved onto the more advanced hardware...rightfully so, but it's a shame if their mentality will sway them away from GBC games from now on. Shantae, actually in development for more than two years, has finally hit the market thanks to Capcom...and while it's no Game Boy Advance-specific production, it's a stunning production nonetheless and Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color gamers alike should not pass this one up. Shantae follows the adventures of a sexy half-genie girl set out to stop the sexy pirate girl Risky Boots from acquiring the relics that will enable her to start the stolen steam engine and rule the land. Players assume the role of Shantae and take her across many different lands, whipping enemies with her hair, collecting money to purchase new attacks and moves. Shantae can walk, run, attack, and, when available, perform dances that will alter her form. This Game Boy Color game is very much like Castlevania and Super Metroid, in the sense that you can only gain access to future portions of the level. Turn into a monkey, for example, and she'll be able to climb up to high platforms and leap higher...but without the ability to attack enemies. Turn into a half-bird type thing and you the sky's the limit. Half the challenge is to know when you'll need to use your powers to get through to the next part of the game. The game also features a bit of strategy, since you can (and should) acquire and utilize offensive and defensive items to get through some of the toughest locations in the game.
WayForward Technologies, the developer of previous Game Boy Color games such as Xtreme Sports, Wendy: Every Witch Way, and Sabrina: the Animated Series, is responsible for this superb looking and playing side-scrolling action/adventure on the handheld. Most of WayForward's previous GBC games have one thing in common: a shared game engine for each of their designs, giving their titles a similar look and feel even though each one is significantly different in their own way. Shantae uses the WayForward GBC engine at its absolute peak, showing off elements that push the Game Boy Color hardware almost into Game Boy Advance territory. You'll find multi-scrolling backgrounds, water transparencies, night and day effects...if this game was released during the prime of the Game Boy Color life, it would have set a serious standard for other GBC developers to reach. The character animations alone are downright stunning...Shantae herself is just a work of pixel art by herself, and each enemy has several frames of animation to their design, offering a smooth, professional look to their motions. But it's not just the look of the game that makes the game such a stunner. Levels are absolutely gigantic with several clever puzzle ideas throughout the adventure. The dynamic day-to-night-to-day effect increases the replay of the levels since hidden items only show up during one of the two time during the day. And it's obvious that the extra time in development has benefited the production of Shantae, so much that the developer created a handful of decent minigames throughout the adventure. And though the game isn't written specifically for the Game Boy Advance, playing Shantae on the newer system will unlock new items, abilities, and brighten the colors up...most GBC games end up a bit darker on the GBA LCD screen, but WayForward adjusts the colors to make them more vibrant on the Advance system. As excellent as the game is, the design isn't flawless. The camera tends to latch onto Shantae, putting her directly in the center of the screen. Since she's a pretty big sprite, it limits the view of the level around her. You'll be forced to do those annoying "leaps of faith" in unfamiliar territory, basically jumping off ledges to reach parts of the level that do not fit on the screen...it would have benefited the game design had the developers given players the ability to scroll the screen around the immediate area. And because some of the levels are just so darn big, the game could have used an automapping feature similar to what Castlevania and Metroid use to orient the gamer.
You've had exactly a year to train those eyes to scan the Game Boy shelf for the "Only for Game Boy Advance" border on the left-hand side of game boxes?but now it's time to teach yourself to look for the "Game Boy Color" border one last time. Shantae is one of the best on the GBC system, and its success on the system pretty much will decide whether or not this genie lass will make it to the big time in the form of Shantae GBAor, even more ambitiously, Shantae PS2, Xbox or GameCube. And you'll be there on the ground floor, able to tell your friends you were a Shantae fan since the very beginning? Seriously,the game is a wonderful platform adventure with excellent puzzle elements, as well as having tons of variety in its level and character design. Shantae looks fantastic as a Game Boy Color game, and pretty darn good on the Game Boy Advance?comparatively speaking, of course. Shantae is in seriously limited release because of the game's lack of familiar branding and lowered demand for GBC product, so get out there and pick this girl up.

Best Game Boy Game Ever!!!
Many people think Shantae is a kiddy game, but that is the biggest lie I've ever heard! Shantae is a game that I love, I was waiting for a month for it to come out. Anyway, Shantae is a game that all kinds of people can like, I even know some boys that like it! Shantae is a creative game that gives you a fun and action packed adventure. In Shantae you will find fun characters, cool bosses, far out items and awsome upgrades! If you don't know as you get closer and closer to your goal you will get the chance to buy new fighter's gear, learn squid dances and learn tranceform dances which alow you to change into a monkey, elephent, spider, harpy and a secret dance, the TinkerBat dance! I usualy hate gameboy music but in Shantae I find the music to be fine, not the best, but not something that will drive you nuts. If you go to GameZone.com you may know that Shantae is a level HARD game but don't let that scare you, I [stink] at video games and even I beat it. Shantae is the funest gameboy game, I kind of wish I was still only part way finished but, you win some, you lose some. The graphics are the best part of the game, this game is said to have the best graphics of any oher GameBoy Color game. There are 3 mini games in the game.I give Shantae a 5 star rating!

Cool and Confused
This is a cool game but they need to print a book on how to work it.Other than that this is a great game and i recommend it.

Fun Game!
I really like this game because of it's developed grapics and I love the way you get to turn into cool animals.My favorite animal is the Harpy.My only problem is that it is not possible to start the game over.What if you want to play the game over again?I know that the player has 2 other files to finish but what about after that?I still think Shantae is a great game and worthy of five stars. ...

Ulala's cosmic attack #1 game
I heard that this game had bad ratings but i had wanted it so much i just had to have it.I started playing this game and i was amazed by the amazing graphics, funky music and outragous dance moves.I was loved every moment of it.I finished the game and it had an interesting ending.I loved every part of it and it is my favorite game of all time. ^_^

it is up to YOU to decide...
UGA is one of my favorite companies along with TREASURE because of their brilliant games like REZ and Space Channel 5 for the deceased Dreamcast. If you've played both REZ and Space Channel 5, then you will know UGA's refreshing creativity(I consider REZ as something beyond being 'video game').Although their games don't sell well like other blockbusters, their games stand as the testament of video game maker's pure intention of creating a 'GAME' in the video game industry... testing and experimenting their passion for the video games and letting gamers to share their passion; and that's where my respect for UGA comes from.

When I saw this Gameboy Advance version, I knew that it was pretty much similiar to the Dreamcast version by looking at the pictures on the back.I still bought it because I loved the first game so much...why not try portable version, right?
Well, frankly, I have to be honest with this one; I was disappointed.Of course, this is Gameboy Advance version... you are not gonna get something similiar to the Dreamcast version-

however,

First of all, they have pretty much transported the same game from the Dreamcast version.Although they have twitched some sequences here and there, it's pretty much the same game. So nothing is really new for those who've played the Dreamcast version.

Second, one of the reasons Dreamcast version was so excellent is because of Ulala's flawlessly, seamlessly executed dancing move(man, I don't know why but the way Ulala does dance is so,so.....let me put it this way; 'There's something about Ulala'); the game suffers alot when Ulala's trade mark of 'sexy' dance can not be executed with smooth motion due to console's limitation.

Lastly, I do not judge a game by its length except when game does not offer much to the player. The Dreamcast version was pretty short,meaning you could probably finish it in an hour.However, it was worth it because of its refreshing and unique experience I could have from playing it.This Gameboy Advance version, however, is a different story.It was pretty short, again, finished it in less then an hour. However, the same kind of experience I had with the Dreamcast version was nowhere to be found except few recognized scenes, which only brought my old memories back from Dreamcast version even more.

I couldn't help but play the Dreamcast version again after finishing this game on Gameboy Advance... and wow... and that's all I could say..'wow'

Well, I don't know- It's still a fun game if you are looking for some dancing/rhythm game for your Gameboy Advance; however, I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME ONLY IF EITHER YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE DREAMCAST VERSION, OR WAS ABLE TO BUY IT AT A RELATIVELY LOW PRICE.However if that is not the case, then I don't really recommend it...may be I could still recommend this one RELUCTANTLY(I'm usually very biased when it comes to reviewing my favorite games, however, this one just doesn't quite get my 'biased' view somehow...)

I hope that you would enjoy what UGA and Ulala have to offer!

PS: Make sure to play this game with THE HEAD PHONE! It sounds so much better!

Badder than bad.Not worth anything.
I don't write reviews, but this game made me start.I wanted to warn all of you; don't waste your money.

Waste of time and money.I had to try to get some store to take it back to exchange for another game.I told them it didn't work.They put it in a game system and no one there questioned me that it didn't work.They all look puzzled at what to do and if the game was working.I felt bad about doing this, but I felt like I was ripped off.I read the reviews here and thought this game might be fun for the kids.

If you like THQ games and want something involving rhythm, music or dance, then I would suggest Britney's Dance Beat (but that got poor reviews too).

One game that the kids love to play similar to Britney is American Idol.Don't ask me why, but they love to play it.

WOW
I love this game.After becoming addicted to the original Space Channel 5 on Dreamcast, I was simply suprised how well they've ported this version to the GBA.It really DOES get you dancing!"up chew rightchew!"Space Channel 5 is a really rad game.

The point of the game is pretty similar to the child game "Simon Says."You have to press the direction or botton in the same order that the game tells you to.The intersting twist, though, is that you have to press the bottons with the music, on the beat.This makes the game more of a dancing game, and tons of fun to play.

If you want something to pass the time, this is excelent.The first part of the game is ofcoarse very easy, but once you get farther into it, the game becomes challenging.The game is tons of fun, and would be great for children especialy.

Addictive Fun
Coming straight from a hardcore gamer of 21 years, I must say I have NEVER truly had so much fun playing a game before. It is impossible to not bob your head, wiggle your hips and grin stupidly while playing this fast beat music/adventure game. Think you don't have the groove to play? After a few rounds you will be dancing and shooting aliens without missing a beat. This game spans the genre gap. Anyone who likes any type of gaming will like this! I just wish it was longer! 5 stars! ... Read more

WOW
Incredible graphics, gameplay and sound. Its great. you explore massive levels littered with many enemys, and shoot anything that moves. there are timed excapes and its relatively close to the pc version(game play wise). everything is interactable, if you shoot the toilet it breaks and spurts water, if you shoot the candy machine it explodes. All of his catch phrases are here, such as dam im good, hail to the king, bitchin, and kick ass. to be honest they curse alot in this game. when ever you dont have the key to open a locked door he says somthing like dammit or son of a bitch. its a great fps, one of the best.

It is fun, but the PC version of Duke Nukem 3d is better!
The two reasons why I suggest the PC version version is:

1. You can download .map files on the internet, which means, MORE LEVELS!!
2. The PC version is original, not ported.

So if you plan to get this game for GBA, think again.

Come Get Some. . . On The GBA!!!
Hands down the best FPS available for the GBA. It was the 6th FPS released for the system. Duke Nukem Advance brings all the attitude and fire power to the small screen in a richly detailed FPS. The game feautures 4 exotic locations taking you to Area 51, the Temple of Amun in Egypt, the streets of Sydney, Austrailia, and an alien ship orbiting earth. The game feauters 10 fun weapons from your mighty boot to a shrink ray. All of the classic enemies from the original Duke Nukem 3D are intact with a few welcome editions. This is not only the best FPS for Game Boy but, in my expert opinion, the best game for Game Boy! This is definitely top-notch stuff!

Duke Nukem is, indeed, back..and with a vengeance....
Admittedly, I first bought a Gameboy Advance just to play FPS games on it(namely Doom) and, over the course of owning the system, I've collected quite a few FPS for it. Some absolutely awesome and some not worth mentioning. Yet, out of them all- I have to stand in agreement with the other reviewers here that say Duke Nukem Advance has to be the best FPS game on the GBA..period. Not that Doom, Wolfenstein 3-D or Ecks vs Sever weren't that good- they were for the time that they were released for the system...and I tip my hat to their developers on the tremendous jobs they did with them. But...Duke Nukem Advance pushed the envelope on innovation in the game. You're able to do things in DNA that you just can't do anywhere else. And, for that..it holds that crown as the best FPS on the handheld..at least, for now...anyways. The graphics are crisp and the control is smooth just like a FPS should be. If there were any gripes, it'd be trying to see your enemies in the distance. Yet, that is to be expected on a handheld. I must say I'm impressed with the job that was done on the game. It's definitely one worth adding to your collection.
As Duke says.."Hail to the King, Baby!"....

Sweet game.
If u liked duke 3d for cmoputer get this bottom line.By far best GBA shooter out. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

From the second you plug this game into your Game Boy Color, it'sapparent that Pokémon Puzzle Challenge is essentially theTetris Attack that was released some time ago for the Nintendo 64 andGame Boy systems.

Pokémon characters abound; your young cousin or little sister should beable to rattle off many of their names effortlessly. The game is designed foryoung gamers, and encourages problem solving--something that all parents shouldwant their children to learn while playing a game. Thankfully, the game controlsare easy to pick up, and the tasks are easy to execute.

For a puzzle game, this one has a good number of gameplay options and modes.Puzzle University looks simple, at first, but it proves to be a realbrainteaser. In this mode, you must clear the entire screen in a limited numberof moves--a twist that makes the game surprisingly addictive. It's good to seethat Pokémon Puzzle Challenge has made some minor improvements onthe now-classic game of Tetris.

Naturally, the graphics are better on the Nintendo 64 version; but, if you'vegot a long ride planned, or that plane's been delayed, this game will turn hoursinto minutes. If you're looking for a family-friendly title for all of the GameBoy Color users in your family, look no further than Pokémon PuzzleChallenge. --Todd Mowatt

Pros:

• Challenging and extremely addictive Tetris variant
• Fun for just about anyone

• Repetitive voice samples quickly become annoying

Ow, My Fingers!!
This game is, to say the least, Addictive With A Capital "A".
It might seem hard when you start playing (I know it was for me; I got stuck at one point in Easy Mode the first time around), but it becomes much much easier over time.However, I've had it for give or take a few years and bits of it still escape me (i.e. how to get Sentret, how to beat the thing in less than 25 seconds, etc. etc.).Oh well, I expect I'll figure those bits out too.
One more thing: do NOT play this at night if you can't sleep.I did this once, and for about two days afterwards, whenever I stared at the wall, I saw puzzle designs.True story.
And you will probably like this game if you like Tetris.

Fun, fun, fun!
Don't be turned off by the cutesy Pokemon theme.This is "Tetris Attack" (from the SNES), but with lots of extra modes.The creators took advantage of the Pokemon world to create some neat challenge modes.This game is extremely addictive.I recommend playing this on a Gameboy Advance SP so that you'll have a lighted screen.If not, you may have some eye strain trying to see the small blocks.

ADDICTIVE!
This game will steal your soul.I'm not kidding.I turned it on once, planning to only play for a few minutes, and ended up glued to the spot (possibly drooling) for the remainder of the day.I might have fossilized if it hadn't been time for dinner.

But there's a downside as well.It's very hard.My 11-year-old sister, a much more rabid Pokemon fan than myself, has informed me of the different ways to play the game so as to win the "extra Pokemon" (Sentret, Marrill, etc.) but it is almost impossible to do so.I have had the game for over a year and have still not managed to win Sentret.Still, it's not as if I'm going to stop trying.(Read: it's not as if I CAN stop trying.) :-)

finally, a game I can play!
We had purchased the Gameboy Advance a year ago, along with Mario, F-Zero and a few other titles.Those games just about killed the fun of the GBA machine.My 6 year old could never advance far enough and then I couldn't get her past the stages, so the GBA didn't get much use.Then I bought this game and some others for an upcoming trip and this game, Pokemon Puzzle Challenge is a winner.No getting stuck on a spot and then getting killed and having to start over.The variety on this Pokemon game is great and I really enjoy it.It looked great on the GBA system also. We also purchased the Puyo Pop, and although it is kind of similar in idea, it was a game my daughter liked and has stuck with.That one is a little harder to learn, but when it clicks, it is an easy concept and by changing the levels of difficulty, you can suit it to your own level(I live on the EASY level!).Even if you aren't into Pokemon, this is a fine game.I ignore the pokemon figures, much to my daughters dismay, and it has no effect on gameplay.

Fun even if you hate pokemon!
Graphics: 9.5/10- everything looks great, but there's not much to screw up when you just have colorful boxes.
Sound: 8/10-the music wasn't that bad...but the pokemon noises got annoying after a while.
Control: 10/10- super easy to learn
Replay value: 10/10- ENDLESS FUN
Over all: 9.5/10- super game...buy it

This is a great puzzle game, and i can see it as a future classic.Personally, i don't like pokemon, but this puzzle game is SO fun I forgot it had anything to do with pokemon(dont ask me how I managed that). One thing that got to me was the sounds the pokemon make when you do special moves...these get quite irritating after a while.BUT, in the options menu you can turn off the pokemon sounds without turning off all the other sounds, or if you hate all the sounds that would be why you have a volume control ^_~.Overall, this game is a must have filled with endless funn...BUY IT!!! ...

Puyo pop
Puyo pop is an awesome game that not only kids will like but adults as well.I got my parents hooked on this game and they love it.

This is a tetris type puzzle game is fun and simple.it is the type of game you play for hours and lose track of time. I would reccomend this game to people of all ages. if your looking for a great puzzle game you've found it!

Puyo Puyo!
This is a great version of the Puyo Puyo series on a portable system.Having played this game on the Nintendo and Super Nintendo, it is great to see that this series has reached American shores under the Puyo name.This is my favorite puzzle game of all time, it is quirky and very addictive.This installment adds more obstacles and innovations in gameplay.
I guess I'm a little disappointed that the Puyos (the little slime things that fall down the screen) don't have visible eyes, as that added to the quirky factor, but oh well, that would be impossible to do on a GBA.
THQ has discontinued this game, so grab it while you can.

Great game
This was a great buy for my 7 year old.Great for long plane rides.Easy to maneuver & play.Very addictive.

odd at first , but addicting
I just bought this game (along with 5 others, ugh) and this has become one of the immediate favorites for my 6 year old. (Tying with Pokemon Puzzle Challenge).First of all I changed the difficulty level to EASY, saving NORMAL and DIFFICULT for much later. There are 6 (or 7?) levels and you have to win your way up to them.Thankfully the game automatically saves itself, no passwords or silly things to write down.You play against the game opponent to match falling balls up, sort of like Tetris, but you can attack your opponents side by getting 4 to match.You can be neurotic and try to plan ahead with your colors, or just kind of guess where the best place is to land the balls.We managed to get to the second to last level after 2 days, which greatly reduced the frustration factor and kept it fun. There are also different options on playing,without an opponent, making the balls come faster/slower. Its really a neat game and will get used for those quick game fixes.The only thing that I thought could have been improved is the farther you get in the game, the more variety in balls there are, and sometimes they look alike when they aren't, like the blue and green, but that in no way is a reason not to buy it.We just got the new Gameboy light that they are raving about on this site, and maybe that will improve the view.For those of you who can't handle the fighting, side scrolling, dying 10 times a level type games, I would recommend this.

Looks like another Tetris clone?THINK AGAIN!
Ok, honestly I'm not into any puzzle games at all-I used to play few puzzles games now and then, however, bottom line is that I just can't get into them.Well, one day, one of my Japanese friends, bought a GameBoyAdvance with Puyo Pop.I was bit thrown off because I told him few of excellent games such as Castlevania, Advance War, Super Mario he can experience and yet he bought this Puyo WHAT??Then he went on to tell me that it was so popular in Japan among guys and girls when he was in high school or something, so I decided to give it a try.And the result?Very Addictive.

The very core of this addictively fascinating game is this "Chain Combo" system where you have to think carefully before you place your falling pieces.You see, the thing with tetris is that you don't really have to think about how you would build your blocks and eliminate them, just keep on stack them and eliminate them whenever you have the right piece (unless you are after big scoring).However, PuyoPop forces you to think before you lay that slowly falling piece if you are going after chain combo, while being able to see what color pieces will be coming next.Of course, this game can be played as tetris, where you just stack them in group of four and eliminate them.However, the real fun comes when and only you play to build this chain combo, and trust me, you will have to think hard (ok, at least for me). I bought GBA Link to play with my friend, and trust me, and trust me, there's nothing like this (and man, I can't believe I'm 28..feel like I'm in jr. high again..)

The story mode wasn't that convincing, not at all, but it's better than nothing..yet I believe that this kind of corny story line might be perfect for kids, who know how to appreciate them (in fact, this corny story line might be just perfect for this kind of game..). I can just picture two people, dad and daughter, friends, brothers, sisters, and even lovers.. the possibility is endless...Don't miss this what could be the best multi-player game of all time and experience what the fuss is all about. Ok, I better go and practice to take him down with chain-combo attack!! ... Read more

"Game & Watch" portable games date from before the time of Game Boy, but are available again in both classic and updated versions. Parachute will have players catching falling paratroopers in a boat; the updated version features Mario as the captain, and Toad and Yoshi as the skydivers. The objective of Helmet is the opposite: avoid falling objects that are dropped by a Para-Koopa as Mario in this updated version. Chef teams up Princess Toadstool and Yoshi in a pancake-making mission. Vermin is similar to the arcade diversion "Whack-a-Mole," and stars Yoshi, who protects a nest of Yoshi Eggs from Shy Guys, Ghosts, and Para-Koopas. The updated Donkey Kong still stars the original gorilla, but contains three new levels. ... Read more

Easy to play and alot of fun
All of the Game and Watch Gallery's are a blast to play when you have a few minutes to blow or don't feel like playing something emersive. Anyone can pick up a gameboy and learn how to play the minigames in mear seconds - there really isn't a learning curve.

Fun for young children to adults (think mario party without the board game)

Incredible
When I bought this game used from a local game store I was wondering how long it would keep me entertained. When I first turned it on, I was expecting something similar to it;s predecessor, which I also own. First off, the 5 games instead of 4 was nice. Color really helped define things too. Then I got a few stars (every 200 points in a game earns one star) and so many extras got unlocked. There are three unlockable versions of Modern Ball. Mario, Yoshi, and Wario Versions. There is a museum of classic games which, although aren't playable, are a nice little history lesson. I give this game a 5 for being entertaining, innovative, and awesome. Good job Nintendo.

Pretty good and costs less than collecting them on e-reader
This is the second of the Game and Watch compilation series. With classics from when Nintendo first made handheld games with built in alarm clocks, you'll keep pretty busy. The games go on and on making you want to see how high of a score you can get. Still, it wont keep you too busy for long trips. They should've added just a few more games and made USEFUL special features. This is why I give it 4 stars.

THE SECOND BEST GAME AND WATCH GAME
I bought this game after game and watch gallery 3. I was amazed that i was like how did they do the graphics so real? When i knew that ball was in this game i was happy. After i played the classic in hard in easy mode i realized that the hard was easy and the easy was hard. Since the hard was easy i was scoring to get a 1000 points as usual instead i got 2000 something. Parachute is like fire but instead of Mario and Luigi holding a stretcher mario was in a boat and another boat up in the sky dropping the people. Helmet is a not to hard and not to easy game in the easy mode and it was al;most very hard in the hard mode and very very hard in the very hard mode. Chef was funny. In the modern mode mario and luigi kept throwing food for princess to cook. And in the classic the mouse would eat the food if it fell on the floor. And last but not least Donkey kong. you have to save princess from Dk s.r. All i'm trying to say is that this game will make you forget what world you are in.

Very short, but not linear either.
My first time through it was only 3-and-a-half hours later! But to add depth, you search through a maze of rooms to find 3 missing pieces to the door. Enemies aren't smart and are quite stupid. Bosses are slow and easy to beat. I recommend something else.

Monsters,Inc.
This game has no instructions in box,this is a new game factory sealed. Very unhappy with purchase.I had trust in toy's r us.
This game would have been better with the instructions that come in all new games.

Don't waste your money
I bought this game for my 5 year old daughter who loved the movie. She won't play this on her gameboy at all. She plays with her sister's Nemo game. Don't waste your money.

Monsters Inc
This game is great for the first few weeks but then it gets hard . It has great graphis and is just like the movie. I recamend you to buy it.

This game stincks
This game is so boaring and stupid.All you do is run around and find puzzle pieces to "boos door".I gave up on it after the first level.It also takes no skill at all.If you can push buttons then you can beat the game in no time at all.

TOMB RAIDER IS AWESOME!!!
This game is awesome. I was hooked on it for months!! The graphics are weak but its still cool! Go buy it now!

Best Tomb Raider Gameboy game
Considering that I am a HUGE fan of Tomb Raider, I had to buy this game. Boy was I happy I did. The graphics are great, the levels are long and fun, and Lara looks really cool in this game, (Exactly like in the first game.)

5 Stars for all Categories. (Including sound, graphics, fun factor, etc.)

The Best
Tomb raider the prophecy is very good.It has great graphics and 32 levels.The enmies are good but there could be more types.Since I don't have a P.C. that will run the angel of darkness.This is the best new tomb raider.I love it I play it all the time.I sure hope they make more tomb raider games for gba.

Fun game
The graphics are good, The sound is good. The boring part is that you have to type in passwords. If you always liked Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and you tought that the game was like the movie, it isn't anything like the movie. I would recommend it if you have patience.

Amasterpiece!!!
This adventure takes place before Lara's adventure in Egypt( inthe game ''TOMB RAIDER:THE LAST REVELATION''). Lara must find the blackstone, so she can understand what magic was, or still is.
A masterpiece, and the best GBA game so far. Gotta have it, either you are a TR fan, either you are not. ... Read more

More Challenging than Lego Racers 2
I bought this game (PC version) for my 5-year old son because he is absolutely hooked on Lego Racers 2. The combination of racing and shooting in that game plus the sheer number of tracks is addictive. Drome Racers is a bit more challenging and frustrating. First, it took me a week to figure out how to configure the game to use a joystick. Second, the cars in this game go much, much faster than in Lego Racers, and it's easy to lose control. Third, you have to go through many screens with many different options until you finally get to the race. Hopefully we'll get used to it with time.

its a fun game but takes awhile to figure out how to choose your course ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

It's hard to believe that these titles are only 10 years old,considering how far role-playing games have come over the years. In fact,Dragon Warrior actually defined the beloved RPG genre for video gameconsoles. It began the whole system of turn-based battles against monsters, landroaming, and building character experience through fighting. And, now, all ofthis is back for younger players to enjoy for the first time, and for olderplayers to relish once again.

It must be stated that these games, while they have been improved, areessentially the same as they were earlier, with these exceptions: names ofpeople and places have been altered--which will disappoint only those who haveplayed the originals--and the graphics are more detailed than before.

The differences between the two titles play almost like a history lesson inRPGs. In the first game, players travel as a single character who's set torescue a princess and slay a dragon. In the second game, players manage a partyof four heroes, each of whom has his or her own unique talents in magic orweaponry (or both). The game pits them against multiple enemies at a time, asopposed to a single foe. Also, the addition of a save-anytime feature eliminatesneedless retread.

Overall, Dragon Warrior I & II is a great value, and perfect foranyone who's interested in taking a trip, whether it be cross-country or downmemory lane. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Brings back memories of the old days
• Focus is on gameplay

• Simplistic by today's standards of graphics and story
• Lots of wandering

Completely old school.
If you're old enough to remember playing this game on the original NES and getting issues if Nintendo Power in the mail just for the maps, congratulations. This game mostly just follows the monotmous cycle of go to town, kill monsters to get gold to buy better weapon, go to next town, get more gold to buy next better weapon.

This game is from back in the days where you knew how challenging a monster was, based on what color it was (is it a red slime or purple silme?).

Somehow, though the game is still compelling making you want to see just was in that next down, or what might be on the 4th level of that identical level cave.

The scant backstory allows your mind and imagination to fill in the blanks as to the hero's past and the villian's intent. Overall, the game is simple classic fun free from the excess that tends to weight down the modern RPG.

Two classics return!
When it comes to role playing games from the old days, there are two major series of them that stand out in gamers' minds - Squaresoft's Final Fantasy series and Enix's Dragon Warrior series. Although the former is obviously the more popular series in the modern age, the latter was once an equally respected and loved series - just ask anyone who played video games in the early nineties. In recent years, Enix did gamers a huge favor - they rereleased the first two games in the series on the Game Boy Color! Read on for my review of this, a single cartridge containing both Dragon Warrior I and II.

PROS:
-This cartridge contains TWO games, which have been called classic RPGs for years. And now, new gamers will be able to see why.
-The graphics have been cleaned up quite a bit, and the resolution is improved. Battles also include new backgrounds.
-The godawful menu system of the old games was fixed! Now I don't have to select "stairs" from a menu every time I want to climb some! Likewise, I can now talk to people by pushing just one button, and not going through the menus!
-The game adds an animated intro. It's nothing fancy, but it's still a nice touch.
-The game gets a new English translation, truer to the Japanese originals.
-For anyone who doesn't know, these games were co-created by Dragon Ball Z creator Akira Toriyama. The Toriyama name always means quality.

CONS:
-Obviously, these games are MUCH more simplistic than the games that modern gamers tend to desire. The simplicity of the games may turn off potential gamers.
-The cover art is HORRIBLE! Why didn't they just have Akira Toriyama draw up a new cover? He's a great artist!
-If you already mastered the NES versions of these games, you're not going to find anything new here.

OVERALL:
If you're a fan of old-school RPGs, this game is for you! If you're a hardcore gamer of the modern age, you might be disappointed, but regardless of who you are, these are two classic role playing games worth checking out. They stand as solid proof - the Dragon Warrior series is AWESOME.

The return of two amazin classics!!
I would like to fix my previous review and write a more clearer one. So bare with me. Up until last Fall, i've never heard about Dragon Warrior. I know you all think that i'm stupid for missing out on a great RPG like Dragon Warrior, so let me explain. I've been into the video game market for 13 years, since the age of 3. It's been difficult for me to know what games were coming out, when they were coming out and what they were. It wasn't until i got the internet and when i searched on this website did i realize that i missed out on alot of really great games, Dragon Warrior being one of them. Dragon Warrior was the first RPG game ever released in the United States. These two games were released in 1989 back on the Nintendo Entertainment System. They were the first games to pioneer the idea of land roaming, monster battling and building character experience. Enough said. Now to the games.

DRAGON WARRIOR I: Even though this game was short, it was difficult for me. As i've said, i've never played Dragon Warrior before, so it was new to me. You are the descendant of the dead and legendary hero, Loto (formerly known as Erdrick back on the the original Dragon Warrior for the NES). You as one person, set out on a quest to rescue Lady Lora, daughter of King Lars XVI of Alefgard and defeat the evil Dracolord. In this game, there are several towns were there are inns, weapons and armory shops. You will of course need to equip some weapons ad armory to become more powerful. During the course of the game, you will also get the chance of equiping more powerful equipment. You are also supposed to find two things in this game, the rainstaff and the sunstone. Once you obtain the Loto Seal, go to a shrine south of the town of Rimulbar, talk to the elderly man and he will give you a rainbow drop. You then use the rainbow drop to form a bridge to get to Dracolord's castle. You must be above level 20 to defeat Dracolord's two forms, one as a human like creature, and the other as a monster. It was easy for me. This game alone, i give it 5 stars and above.

DRAGON WARRIOR II:Can't say much about this game becuase i'm in the middle of it. This game is way harder than its predecessor. In this game, you the Prince of Lorasia must find the Princess of Moonbrook and the Prince of Cannock and defeat Hargon. The storyline in this game takes place 100 years after Dragon Warrior I. You get to make up a name for you the Prince of Lorasia, but the computer makes up the names for the Prince of Cannock and the Princess of Moonbrook. I can't rate this game as of yet, so you all will have to wait until i beat it. Then i will give you more info on Dragon Warrior II.

Now let me bring to your attention the other Dragon Warrior games. I hear Dragon Warrior III for the GBC is the best of the entire legend of Loto series. I hope to get it for my birthday. I have never played with Dragon Warrior IV on the NES, so i don't know anything about it. What's stupid is the idea of Enix not thinking of releasing Dragon Warrior V and Dragon Warrior VI in the United States. I think Enix should release both of them for either the GBA,GCN, and the Playstation 2. That's crazy. Also they should re-release Dragon Warrior IV for the advance. I could tell from these reviews that sales for the previous Dragon Warrior games were successful SO I HOPE ENIX RE-RELEASES DRAGON WARRIOR IV FOR THE GBA. Also, Enix should re-release Dragon Warrior VII for the GCN. Right now, the GCN doesn't have that many good games and not that many RPG's, so the GCN does need a Dragon Warrior game. One final thing. I hear SquareEnix (Square, the company that makes Final Fantasy and Enix have now merged into SquareEnix) i going to release Dragon Warrior VIII for the Playstation 2 sometime in 2004. I HOPE THEY ALSO RELEASE IT FOR THE GCN.Thank you for your attention and so long.

I love this series, so I give it altogether 5-stars!
One of my all time favorites in the RPG-category would have to be the "Dragon Warrior" saga. This special pack includes both "Dragon Warrior I" and "Dragon Warrior II". Both are classics, each one with its own storyline, characters etc.

"Dragon Warrior I" is the story about a lone warrior whom must save a kidnapped Princess from a gang of monsters. "Dragon Warrior II" on the other hand tells about a group of heros and their quest to stop a different kind of foe.(I'm not too sure about this one quite yet.)

The first is probably the most TOUGHEST of all, while the rest in the series is a bit easier. "Dragon Warrior III" is the best remake of them all yet! But even the old Nes version of "Dragon Warrior IV" is pretty good.

"Dragon Warrior: Monsters" is a bit kiddy' like, but still a nice addition. Kinda' reminds me of Pokemon only better!! Here's a small rating for each one:

DRAGON WARRIOR I

****(4-stars. Fun gameplay and the option to go anywhere you choose is a good challenge.)

DRAGON WARRIOR II

*****(5-stars. Better than the original since you get four characters altogether to help. Not too familiar with the story yet).

DRAGON WARRIOR III

*****(5-stars. A very, VERY cool opening sequence for this one. Especially at the battle against the Dragon. The option to choose characters is awesome! Better than I and II!!

DRAGON WARRIOR IV

***(3-stars. Fair gameplay but the movement is VERY poor. It's a cool change that you play as different people in different stories. Battle system can use some improvement though.)

DRAGON WARRIOR V

***(3-stars. It's alright, but the graphics went a bit downhill here. Much different than the others in the series but good.).

DRAGON WARRIOR VI

****(4-stars. Improved graphics and a worthy sequel. The characters are much, MUCH better than those from part 5.).

DRAGON WARRIOR VII

(N/A I haven't played this one yet.)

OVERALL: An excellent series altogether!!!

Not bad
The game over all is not bad. I think they tried to puch the graphics way to far. and while they look choppy, and blurry the gaem survives ok. You run, shoot, evade cameras, stun gaurds, colect items, make timed escapes, pick locks, and use stratedgy. Not bad. And you can make out what things look like at least unlike Medal of honor. It would be a much better game if it had better graphics, but its still not bad.

haha eeeeeek haha house happy police cacle idiot tube!!!!!!!
this game is gggreat the weopens rock

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
sniff, sniff sniff, I..I..I changed Nightfire for Everything or Nothing, sniff... but I TOTALY REGRET IT! wAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! I wanted to change it back, sniff... but we already came back to sniff... another country!!! WWWWAAAAAHHHHH HAAAAHAAAA!!! sniff... and If you get this game, you'll like it so much,sniff... that you can't say gooodbye!!

RECCOMMENDED MY HEART OUT!!...sniff thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhirrrrt!! Ah, thats better!

Bond . . . James Bond.
007: Nightfire, the third best GBA FPS, and the 10th released. 007: Nightfire definitely delivers from start to finish. We get an in-depth story with neat cut-scenes, wall-to-wall action, and an amazing graphic system. The graphics may look a little grainy but it is one of the most advanced developed for the GBA and pretty impressive. Nightfire also delivers by giving us a nice variety of weapons and Q-Lab gadgets. We get our usual assortment of pistols and machine guns (the bullet shells release from the guns side when you fire!) and our gadgets include a cell-phone grapple (used for reaching high places), a laser watch, a PDA (used to hack), a tranquilizer dart pen, and a little CD hidden in a credit card to monitor computer sysems.So far, so good. The 9 levels the game features are enormous and quite a challenge to get through. You'll find yourself playing the same mission quite a bit in order to get past. Awesome boss battles are also a great edition to the game. The game is a challenge, a fun challenge at that!

James Bond
This is a great game that has some pretty good grafics for the GBA. For a game that is this long, I think that it did great. It did have one level that I am having a hard time on and that is the last level, I can't figure out how to beat it. are oyur supposed to shoot some computer or the missile. Other than that, it was great. I am sure that I will figure it out soon, probably within a day or two. ... Read more

Tony hawks underground
This game is ok. Some tricks are to easy and some are impossible. I plated it in my cousins house. I refused to by it.It is stupid. I will never play it again, not even at my cousins.

good for a while
it was a fun game in the beginning but aafter a while it started to suck. DONT BUY IT. it was worth about 10$ and thats it.if u liked tony hawk games then u would definetly like this buit otherwise dont buy it.

if you're a veteran gamer looking for a fun game on the go..
Dont buy this game!!!

I have to admit...when i first started it up, i was thinking: wow, pretty cool. Pretty basic graphics, but alright. And then i was like: hey, the controls are pretty intuitive. Theyre pretty much like the console versions. That's a bonus. And then: oh cool, i can make a custom skater and a custom board with wording on it and stuff.

Then the novetly wore off.
1) The music is beyond horrible and annoying. Honestly, im never one to really care about video game music, but this is really really bad. You'll play the game with the music off more often that with it on, trust me. It is unbearable. Even the sound effects are really rough and annoying.
2) The gameplay is just plain bad. All you ever do are the same goals over and over and over again. And the worst part is trying to unlock different parts of each level. And the money system is boring...all you can buy are pads and drinks. I will admit, the first level was cool...i enjoyed it very much. But when you start moving on the other levels you start to see a pattern -- the levels are all the same, but actually get worse somehow.
3) the graphics are really really sub-par compared to other GBA games...you can barely see the difference between one skater and another. And the skate parks are just really plain, bland, nothing cool.

If you can get this game for $5, go ahead. It'll give you about that much enjoyable gameplay. Otherwise, dont even think about it. I thought it would be cool, considering i've loved all of the console tony hawks. I knew it wasnt going to be the same at all, but i was still expecting it to be fun. It isnt fun after the first level. Just the same old levels and goals recycled over and over.

Do yourself a favor and get Advance Wars 2 or Yoshi's Island or Metroid: Zero Mission.

It Rocks
Tony Hawk's Underground has easy controls and is fun to play. It has a lot of variety in tricks and levels. The carrer mode is totally awsome. My only complaint is that some of the goals that you need to pass are hard to pass. The instructions on some are very vauge. Overall, the game is great and a ton of fun.

Dodge ball, the schoolyard sport in which kids bean each other withrubber balls thrown at welt-raising velocity, really is the sport of bullies.Thankfully, Super Dodge Ball Advance presents an experience in which thewelts aren't included, while lots of fun and laughs are.

The game features two teams of squat, cartoonish, big-headed kids. Some are onthe playing field and some reside in the back zone ready to scoot up a lob andnail an opponent in the back or from the side. The animations, particularly whena kid gets squashed, are amusing, and, after all, are also the point of thegame. Amass points and win the match, then move on to the next horde ofbig-headed kids.

There are several kinds of throws you can make to surprise your opponents,including a cool corkscrew throw and a straight-up overhanded bean ball. As youknock teams out (no pun intended), you advance toward the world competition(shades of South Park here), where you represent your favorite nation.You can also link up with an opponent for a little head-to-head action, which isthe best way to dish out some virtual pain onto local bullies who lack your madvideo gaming skills. --Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

• It's virtual dodge ball! What's not to like?
• It's one of the first sports games for the GBA
• The graphics are perfect and the action is fast

• The sound is a little grating

Awesome Game
Super Dodge Ball Advanced is a great game.In my opinion, its got lots of replay value.Sure, you can beat it in a half hour or less, but its a sports game, so you can keep playing.The graphics are average, but how good graphics do you need to play a dodge ball game anyway.The music is alright, but a little repetitive.The game can be either really hard or really easy and anything in between with the five difficulty settings and other settings too such as, how tough it is to throw a super throw.You can link up, but I never have so I couldn't tell you how fun that is.To sum it up here is a list of pros and cons.
PROS-
1. Good replay value
2. Multiple diffuclty settings
3. Average graphics
4. Appropriate for all ages, but then again, what isn't
5. Its dodgeball
6. Game Link compatible
7. You can name characters and teams even not your own
CONS-
1. Repetative music
2. Unlike the NES game, there isn't a bean ball mode(mode that pits you individually against your teammates on a field)
3. Also unlike the classic, there aren't any River City Ransom Graphics, instead people don't even have noses.If you never played River City Ransom, the old dodgeball game or World Cup just forget that con
4. There is no team creator, which really, really sucks.That also ruins the whole point of versus mode too because you both have the same premade teams with just possible name differences.
5. Too short of a game, needs more teams or something.

Fun but shallow
This game is a blast but I must say its extremly shawdow.Fans of the old dodge ball game from an older nintendo system will probly love this game, I did but then I unlocked everything in a hour or so, sure there is more matches to play but its just a bunch of the same, I wore this game out in a day or two which is a shame because its a great game...just not enough substance.Get it if you pay $$$ or less definatly, think about it strongly otherwise.

Fun at first, gets old
This Game has a lot of the same characteristics of the original for the Super NES, which will make older gamers happy.But the game play doesn't change enough for my taste.Even the indroduction of new, more powerful teams didn't peak my excitement.In my view, it's worth renting, but because a good gamer could beat it in a half hour, it's not worth buying.

Dont You Remember This?
Wow a handheld version of the 80's nintendo sports game Super Dodge Ball i picked this game up and had a lot of fun very similar to the original NES platform version. As far as this being set in the near future this concept isnt anything new it was a sleeper game on NES and one of my favorites. Pick this game up for a good game for any age and if your not a sports fan, well why not get this one i mean hey who didnt have fun playing dodgeball at school? *cough*billgates*cough* ... Read more
