6 Year Old Gamer and his Mom.
I purchased this game for my son last Christmas (age 5).This game is a favorite of his.He really enjoys the car racing with all of Mickeys friends.The graphics are great, the cars are easy to recognize.The track continually gets harder withramps, water and secret short cuts, with each level.My son, when playing this game will usually sit for 45 min. to an hour."Disney" did it again, GREAT game and age appropriate.Your young children will enjoy this game.Watch out for Minnie she likes to win!

Better than expected!
Fun, interesting courses or 'cities'. I like the fact that each character Mickey, Goofy, Donald, Daisy all have different difficulties. Picking up items to throw is a big bonus..if you like Super Mario cart you'll like this game for Gameboy. Only complaint, once you start a saved game with a character, you can't change them later in the other courses.

Cool Game
It is fun to play with and really cool. I like how you can switch characters and stuff. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Showcasing two arcade classics from the early to mid-1980s, Arcade Hits:Moon Patrol/Spy Hunter is a hit-and-miss package. The hit is Moon Patrol, ahorizontally side-scrolling game where you control a moon rover patrolling sector nine ofLuna City. While fending off wave after wave of alien attacks, you must avoid totalingyour rover on the boulders, craters, and mines that cover the lunar surface. Because thearcade game had basic controls (joystick and two buttons) and rudimentary graphics andsound, it's been faithfully reproduced here. Moon Patrol fans won't bedisappointed. The miss is Spy Hunter, a vertically scrolling game that has you driving a JamesBond-like car on a mission to take down the bad guys using an arsenal of specialweapons. While this adaptation looks and sounds like the original, the controls are tooawkward to make the game worth playing, as the Game Boy just doesn't have enoughbuttons for the job. --Joe Hon

Pros:

• Faithful adaptation of Moon Patrol

• Awkward controls for Spy Hunter

Hrm..
Growing up, I played both Moon Patrol and Spy Hunter in the arcades, then on the Atari 2600 console and Atari 800XL computer.The Spy Hunter reminds me of the Atari 800XL version of Spy Hunter, slightly easier than the 'real thing' but still awkward to get your car moving fast enough to be effective, but slow enough to give you time to react to things coming down the road (typical Spy Hunter problem though).For a better Spy Hunter, and a faithful arcade adaptation, go to shockwave.com and play theirs. As far as Moon Patrol, the music is hard to hear, and the UFO's are hard to shoot and and dodge, but it is a faithful arcade adaptation.Unless you REALLY liked these two games in the past (to discover this about yourself, ask yourself "Can I hum the Moon Patrol theme?"), I wouldn't suggest the purchase.I feel I paid $15 too much for this $20 cartridge..

Moon Patrol is great, Spy Hunter bites
Moon Patrol is a great, faithful rendition of the original arcade classic.Drive your bouncy moon jalopy along, blasting obstacles and jumping over pits, blowing pesky UFO's out of the sky.

I found that the game is hard to play if there's any glare at all - many of the important features on thescreen are hard to see.The bombs that the UFO's drop on you areespecially hard to see if you're not playing somewhere with good lightingand minimal glare.Another disappointment is that the cartridge doesn'thave a battery, so it won't save high scores or record time.

Spy Hunteris a waste.The controls are very awkward even if you don't use thespecial weapons. When you add in those weapons, trying to pull offsomething like B+left arrow for one thing versus B+up arror for another isjust pointless.

If you fondly remember Moon Patrol and have decentvision, you'll have a great time.If you're hoping for a good version ofSpy Hunter, well, you won't find it here.

Disappointing
Not a good version of Spy Hunter, as the maneuverablility is not good on this platform.Am awaiting a version of Super Spy Hunter somewhere.This is just not fun to play. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Based on the cartoon of the same name, archaeologist Jackie Chan embarkson a race against time to recover the eight Magical Scrolls of Kung Fu beforethey fall into the evil clutches of the Dark Hand. The game perfectly matchesthe cartoon's look and feel; the graphics are sharp and the music catchy. Uncle,Jade, and Captain Black are present, as are the various henchmen of the DarkHand, including Hak Foo, Valmont, and the demon Shendu.

Jackie Chan Adventures: Legend of the Dark Hand is a side-scrollingfighting game, similar in some ways to Final Fight. Players have a hugearray of kung fu moves, and you'll learn extra moves with each magic scroll youcollect. Fighting is really fun--you can pick up items with your feet or hands,throw objects or enemies, and punch or kick just about anything on the screen.If you are a little rusty with your kung fu, the game offers a great trainingoption that schools you on all the moves before you actually play. And withthree difficulty levels, this game can be geared to just about any player.

If you're looking for a fun--and funny--game with huge levels and great kung fuaction, look no further. Jackie Chan Adventures definitely delivers.--Bryan Karsh

Pros:

• Animation and fluid kung fu moves nicely capture feel of the cartoon
• Great training feature
• Almost every object can be picked up, thrown, or smashed to bits

• Game-save points often hard to find

The Best Game for Gamboy Advance
Like Action Games?! Then you will love this game! Good graphics! Great sounds! Best Gameplay! To me, this is the best action game for the Gameboy Advance. Jackie Chan has great moves!!! This game is pure GREAT! Nope, its greater than greatest!!!

JACKIE IS AWESOME IN THIS GAME!!!
This game is very awesome I would recommend it to any Jackie chan fans. If you like his movies, or even his show Jackie chan adventures on kids wb you need this game. There are ten levels of intense action, almost anything in the game can be throw, or used to fight with. The grafics are great really giving true meaning to the show. So if your a Jackie fan, or you just want a good fighting game for GBA get Jackie Chan adventures today. Believe me I really think you will love this game. Have fun!!!

Very Good Game
I really liked this game.there was enough fighting in this to keep me playing for a very long time.Also this game lives up to Jackie Chan with him using everything he can find ranging from a fish to a bamboo stick! all the enemies in this game were very difficult to sometimes just plain frustrating!Also the bosses in this game were very hard and you needed to figure out how to kill them.For example you couldent just go up to them and start punching and kicking them.One off the bosses attacks was to suck you up and spit you out so you had to figure out that once it started to suck in you had to avoid its attack and run behind it and attack it!!I would definatley buy this game if you like jackie chan, or his show(or if you just like a good portable fighting game!)!!

Combine Final Fight, with Jackie Chan, and get a great game
For those of you who have seen Jackie Chan adventures, you know that it combines cartoonish antics with Jackie Chan action. The same has transferred to this game. As you roam the streets as Jackie Chan, you must eliminate members of the Dark Hand using your own body, and any items you can find to use as weapons. In addition to the Final Fight type game play though, Jackie Chan goes beyond with combos you can earn, and additional features, that vary up the game play. The graphics are true to the cartoon as well as the musical score. Play control is easy to pick up on and the game design is well done. Though it may seem like a spin off of Final Fight, the extra features really set this game apart. It's just a fun to play game with enough action to keep you playing it over and over again.

Wonderful way to pass the time....
This game was engaging and fun! I play this for hours before I go to work. I also play it till midnight whenever I get home. I know, I sound obsessed, but it is the sheer joy of the game that keeps you entranced. If you are a "gamer", and you appreciate great material, this is the game for you! I know I love it!...

Other than that, I recommend that you buy this game from Amazon.com, a worthy supplier of Smurf items, and have a great time!

fun game for all
i am really enjoying this game even though i haven't beat it yet. The only bad thing is that when you die you have to start over at the beginning ofeach section. They give you passwords but not very many. i still like itthough. i have a hard time putting it down because i want to beat it sobadly!

This is such a cool game.It is kinda like Mario, only you are a smurf trying to wake up your friends from Gargamel's nightmare potion. Really fun, not too easy, not to hard. Keeps me busy for hours. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Bomberman has been around forever (OK, since 1990), and hasstarred on console systems as diverse as the Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64.Consistently great gameplay makes it one of the few series you can always counton. Fortunately, the brand-new Bomberman Tournament for Game Boy Advanceis certainly no exception--it's a classic, through and through.

The reason is stellar gameplay and simplicity, all combined with a heapinghelping of action. It features a simple single-player quest mode, but it's inthe multiplayer option--you face off against up to three computer opponents orfriends over a network of GBA units--that the full potential of the franchise isrealized.

The puzzle-style gameplay is simple even for those new to the series. You've gotto lay time bombs that trap your foes or obliterate them. Bombs also destroyobstacles and collect power-up tiles that give you new powers. Once all youropponents are destroyed, you win the level.

In the past, Bomberman's single-player modes have been for practice, butthis outing stretches the gameplay with eight large cities and a handful ofdungeons. Bomberman is sent to destroy the enemy, including six giant bosses,and save the world in a somewhat Zelda-like environment. Yes folks, itactually has a plot, and it's not bad for such a simple game.

The graphics are simple but well animated, and the music is straight out of theprevious games, including the stirring Bomberman theme song. Thesingle-player quest is worthwhile, but taking on a friend in head-to-head combat isstill what the game is all about. It's the best of both worlds, and perfect fora handheld. --Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

• Solid single-player quest
• Great multiplayer mode

• The graphics are a bit bland

Just got this game but bomberman ROCKS!
I won a brand new-shrinkwrapped-never before played (you get the idea) copy of this game off ebay. I played some japanese versions of bomberman games on the gameboy my friend had before he moved. It was like a 12 pack on one gameboy cartridge an i remember there was pocket bomberman, bomberman GB, Warios blast (starring bomberman), an a bomberman game where you could get armor kinda looking like a hovercraft which was possibly bomberman GB 3, possibly bomberman GB 2(included), and the rest were games like super mario land and doctor mario (all in japanese), i rented bomberman 64 (US version) an it was fun an i own and beaten pocket bomberman (US version) for the gameboy. I read reviews an this game looks great. I will update as soon as i receive the game.

WHAT a surprise!!
I have never been disappointed with a Hudson based game :) I thoroughly research a game before purchasing it. Read reviews on here and on Game Faqs.comThis is one of the few, unadulterated games I have played, apart from Golden Sun, in awhile. The quest is VERY original-Zelda-type and addictive. ACTUALLY enjoyable. This is Bomberman fun with a nice blend of RPG..unfettered. I cannot stand those platform RPG combos (The latest Zelda games)...very few pull that off effectively. Bomberman Tournament is a great game for those days when you don't want to break your fingers and controller. SURPRISINGLY fun game!!If you want epics this is not for you. If you want fun gaming with some challenge...this is it!PS: BTW according to Nintendo The Legend of Zelda is not an RPG but has always been classified as an action adventure. Was I surprised with that one :)

squirrl
i've never played this game before, i just like to mess with information.

Short and a rip-off of Zelda
First off, this game is way too short. Plus, there's not much replayability involved in it.

Also, it seems more like a Zelda game than a Bomberman game. Yeah, there's Bomberman action, but let's see what it has in common with the Zelda games:
-Various dungeons with puzzles in it, where you find items to help you continue, and also a boss in each.
-At the end of each dungeon, you get a "heart" that increases the amount of damage you can take.
-You'll find a map to help you out somewhere in the dungeon
-As you go along, you'll get different kinds of weapons
-And others.

Also, the Charaboms are clearly a rip-off of Pokemon. And finally, as stated previously, the game is too short, and it lacks replayability. However, it IS fun while it lasts, which is while I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.

I love this game! ...wait. There's an RPG included?!
The multiplayer feature rocks. Picture this: Up to four people can play with one game pack, you can play in eight different levels, along with revenge and a fishing mini-game. Now, that would be worth the price of the game, right? Well, there's more! There's a Bomberman RPG-type game too! And it's very long! It took me two hours to get out of the first forest! Trust me, you'll have a blast(get it?) going through this game. You can collect Karaboms to battle and help through different obstacles. There's puzzles to solve, missions to complete, bosses to battle. There's even more stuff to do, but you just have to pick it up for yourself! This is a must-have for any Bomberman fan. And even if you're not a fan, just try this game! ... Read more

Tecmo-Junkie
This is probably the greatest football game of all time!Remember, all you gamers with your 6-8 button controllers and an infinate number of moves and button combinations, this game IS YOUR DADDY!There is no other football game out there that can replicate the hours of fun I get from playing all the games in the TECMO BOWL series.Companies continue trying to portray a "realistic" game, they have forgotten about creating games that are just plain FUN! I have a PSX, but I still have my old NES and Tecmo Super Bowl.I recently purchased NCAA Football 2001.I created a team and won the National Title.I breezed through each team.I averaged 50 points a game even a 77-3 thrashing of Nebraska, which is supposed to be the best team in the game.The point here is that it wasn't fun.With Tecmo, I still laugh at all the goofy animations, like players flying after getting a crushing chop block, or getting hit by a big RB!I still get a smile when the team throws two arms up and down after a TD!

tecmo bowl
Tecmo Bowl was fun game. It's easy to run the ball, but t is hard to pass the ball because if the reciever is covered it's either an interseption or incomplete. Defence is easy because you pick somebody then all you do iscover the pass and if the run you are there anyway. I gave this game fivestars because I can play this for hours. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The Nickelodeon's hit undersea cartoon series SpongeBobSquarePants concerns a plucky and perky pants-wearing sponge whohas a noble dream: he wants to be the world's greatest fry cook. In hisdebut Game Boy Color game, SpongeBob has decided that the best way tomeet that goal is to go on a 2-D side-scrolling adventure in search ofthe lost spatula of the Flying Dutchman. The problem is that the gameis just too repetitive and dull.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula plays likemost any other 2-D side-scrolling adventure. SpongeBob has to recoverthe four oven dials to unlock the Flying Dutchman's oven. En route, hemust explore Bikini Bottom (his homeland) and fight all kinds of meancrustaceans and other sea critters using a burger-flinging spatula anda jellyfish-catching net (there are four other wacky weapons). He mustget past a few puzzles and deal with boss creatures as well. Prettystandard stuff overall, maybe too standard.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula lacks theinspiration of a Mario or Rayman title, and barely comes close to thehumor and whimsy of the excellent cartoon show on which it's based.Still, the violence is cartoonishly entertaining, the characters arevibrant, and the graphics are quite good. Fans of the show might beable to overlook its faults, but the game could have been better.--Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

• The graphics are colorful and vibrant
• Not too challenging for kids

• It doesn't live up to the show's humor and style
• The gameplay is tedious and uninspired

Bad Game, Too Easy!!!!!!
This game was a very big disappointment.It's not that it wasn't fun.It was fun.The problem is that it was too easy.I finished the whole game in four hours.It has a beginning, a middle and an end.The next time you play, it's exactly the same.The stuff is all hidden in the same places and the exact things happen in the exact way.There is only one level, it doesn't get harder each time you play. Take my advice and don't buy this game!Watch a Spongebob cartoon instead.

Great fun
In 30 words or less...great fun for my son and I to play while on vacation.He liked the graphics, I liked the ease of play.

Way to easy!!!!!! But kinda hard not really!!!!!!!
Hello everybody,
I got this game on Monday the 21st of this year (2003)!!!!!I almost beat it on that day but I had to go to bed!!!!So the next day I played the rest of it and it took me like 47 mins. that day so in total that's about 7,8 or 9 hrs. and 47 mins.!!!!!It was like a peice of junk!!!!!And there's no way to make it harder!!!!Now don't take me wrong I'm a huge fan of Spongebob but I think they could make this game alot harder!!!!! (And I'm not with an adult so nobodys helping me with this review!!!)And I don't believe anybody that says it's to hard!!!!! So, Thank you. And if you survive please come again. Good-bye!!!!

short and not all that sweet
Well, let me start out the review by revealing that I'm one of the many twenty-something year old SpongeBob fans out there.So when I saw there was a SpongeBob game for Gameboy Color, I just had to check it out.What followed was almost a throwback to the old NES days of mediocre 1-hour games that dragged things out through mundane repetition and frustrating difficulty.

On the good side, the graphics are colorful and do a decent job of representing the look of the show.You also get to talk to various characters from the show (although the extent of the conversation is usually just a one-sentence comment).Unfortunately, the decent job of creating a SpongeBob look/feel is about the only good thing THQ managed to pull off here.

The gameplay is..well..rather poor.It boils down to standard platform gaming with fairly stiff controls.Usually, the levels scroll upwards or to the right, leaving you to jump from platform to platform while dodging and/or attacking enemies until you simply reach the end of the level.Platform jumping can be a nightmare as the screen will often scroll past moving platforms in mid-jump, leaving you trying to blindly guess where the platform is so you can attempt to land on it.Fighting enemies isn't much better.Despite several different weapons, some enemies are hard to kill (often due to sluggish controls), and getting hit is often unavoidable (usually knocking you off a platform and sending you hurling back to the bottom of the level so you get to experience the dull repetition of ascending the whole area over again).You can also only get hit twice, meaning you'll find yourself dying often despite the plentiful supply of healing items (extra pants) found in each level.In short, the areas themselves are boring and repetitive, the gameplay is frustrating, and you're usually forced to play the levels again and again until you manage to survive.Of course, there are a few bosses thrown into the mix, but they aren't exactly noteworthy and do little to add value to the gameplay.

So why did they make game so tough and frustrating?Well, it appears to be an attempt to drag out what is actually a rather short game.I'd say there are only about half a dozen short levels (hard to count since everything is sort of connected as one area), which probably took me somewhere between 1 and 2 hours to complete even with all of the repetition.

Well, the bottom line is that SpongeBob fans might want to cautiously check it out, but they shouldn't expect too much.Younger gamers will probably find the game too repetitive, difficult, and frustrating to hold their attention.Older gamers will probably find it dull, repetitive, frustrating, and short.Overall, the game does an extremely poor job of capturing the fun that most fans would expect from the SpongeBob license.

Totally cool
This game is not that bad, although I don't think it should have the road closed signs when you are trying to get to the next place. The charictors should say more intresting things insted of like "Hi spongebob" (Perl says that). Dont buy it without reading some intresting reviews. Its fun other than the things I mentioned. I'm writing this on my own not help with a parent. So trust me on this one. ... Read more

For a very old game, it's great!
This is a great game! Even though the only colors in the game are white, black, yellow and green, it's still a fun & exciting game. I like the music, which is surprisingly good for a game its age. It's a good game for all ages. Buy it!

DK Land lll
this is an awesome game. it has fun gameplay, moderate graphics,and excellent music. you can choose to be Dixie kong or Kiddie Kong. each one has advantages. you have to collect DK
coins and Bonus coins. I don't own this game; a friend lent it
to me. Overall, this is a very entertaining game. it is compatible with the Game Boy or Game Boy Color.

Cool Kongs
I think that Donkey Kong Land III Best gameboy game there is. I really enjoyed playing it and I thought the music was catchy. I do'nt think there is anything virtually at all wrong with it. The drawings are good and and every thing is brilliant!

No donkey kong or diddy kong?
The donkey kong seris is the best ever but its so hard to find them now.Right now I have game boy the games I love are DC1,2 and 3.I want right review about DC3.In it you get to be Dixie kong or kiddy kong.It is realy fun because there are alot of levels collet DC coins, bear coins (for some secerts at the bear shop) and ballons and alot more stuff!But to get to the lost world you need to collect all of the DC coins to battle King K.Roll!

Monkey Madness!
Donkey Kong Land III is agreat game for everything.From long trips to those short waits on the Metro.This is probably the best game in the Donkey Kong Land series for Game Boy and you have the choice of choosing the unusually large Kiddy Kong (a baby) or from my personal favorite character, Dixie Kong. No Donkey Kong? While apperintly he's not in this game.This game has great side-scrolling action and also has some pretty good graphics.With tons of lands with big enough levels, this game will keep you occupied for hours.The enimies in DK3 are pretty much the same as the past DK games, but there are a lot more barrels and options in DK3.The only two things I don't like about DK3 is that the boss in the third land is so darn hard and it took me a long time to beat him.The other thing that I don't like is that the only way to save is if you make it to a little hut with some old guy in it and that could be four levels into a land.While even though the game isn't perfect it's still a great game and is not bad compared to Donkey Kong Country on Super Nintendo.If Action/Adventure is your bag than you've got to buy this game. ...

The Power House
That's not true, I did enjoy the manga-styled Bomberman movie scenes, but the game... EUH! It's the ancient style, offers very little, and NO variety. I enjoyed the N64 Bomberman for it's multi-player, here they left that out and it left a big gap. Trying to play is ridiculous, the computer loses about 7 percent of the time, and it's no fun attempting to beat them. You never feel responsibility for the loss. The game can change soo quickly that it might as well be set to one minute, to save us time. There's way too much going on in one screen, like 50 different things and it's like you're supposed to try to watch it all, and you don't... and you lose. Also, there isn't even an Adventure mode here! It's all bombing in a small space. You always start out in a cramped area, far away from opponents. It's so old, and dull, it's begging for a drastic gameplay overhaul, like the N64 version (not saying that was great, but it WAS a direction with genuine innovation). All of the elements exist for a fun game, but it doesn't ever come together. I kept wondering when I would get to the fun part. ...

Good idea, mediocre execution
Ever since 1986, Hudson Soft's Bomberman games have been appearing on home video gaming consoles. The fast and frantic action has drawn in many gamers - and with good reason. In late 1998, to accompany the release of Nintendo's new Game Boy Color, the company released a new game in the series, which tried something entirely new - making Bomberman a side-scrolling puzzl-action game! How did this work out? Read on and see.

PROS:
-The number of platformers for ALL systems has been dropping greatly in recent years due to all the hype for three-dimensional games, so it's good to see a new Bomberman game.
-You can save your progress with a password.
-The game looks and plays like a side-scroller should, for the most part.

CONS:
-The time limit is bound to get on your nerves.
-How exactly do those bombs stay suspended in midair?
-Boss characters are UNREALISTICALLY DIFFICULT.
-The Jump Mode is just plain stupid.
-No multiplayer mode.
-Though a good idea, the game ultimately falls flat.

OVERALL:
This is a good game if you can't get enough of Bomberman or side-scrolling puzzle-action games. Just don't buy this expecting anything revolutionary - you won't get anything of that sort.

BOMBERMAN POCKET RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bomberman pocket is a game where you,bomberman,go around blowing up bad guys and other things.But i warn you the bomberman grapics are tiny,but still it is a killer game. BUY IT NOW!

Awesome Game!
This game is great! there are so many cool levels, but be aweare, that the "masters" of each level are extreamly hard to beat! But once you have beat them... You will have a blast playing! The rest of the game is somewhat easy, but nice and quick (however, entertaining if you want to play for hours!) hehehe, to sum it up, it's a great game! BUY IT!

THIS GAME IS GREAT

Totally cool!!!!!
I recommend this game for people who like adventure's! Wario
can not die, he can only lose coins!! At the end of each level there is a game where you use up 50 coins and there is a number behind blocks and you guess what the number is!! This is a very fun game and I recommend it for those game freaks out there!!!

This is the best!
This is the BEST game I have ever played. The REAL final chapter is awsome! You have to beat one of the game`s many Giant Spearmen (Which are actually GIANT Gooms)without touching the floor! And there are SIX different final bosses, and after you beat the game you get to play a mini game Flagman D.D. (which is just like Simon). I would recomend this game to EVERYONE!

This game is GREAT!
This game ROCKS! I personally think it is one of the greatest games nitendo ever made. I recomend it to all game boy fans

One of the best platformers to come out in a while
This is definitely one of the best platform games to come out in a while, on any system. Rather than rehashing regular side-scroller formulas, resulting in the same old run, jump, die. In Warioland II (and it'sfollower Warioland III) Wario is immortal, meaning that you can not die;also, the levels have no time limit. This may make one think that the gameis very easy, but this is not necessarily true. You can be forced to repeatsections of the level due to a mistake; this happens in particular whenfighting bosses, which may be frustrating at times as one hit=starting thebattle over, but does not detract from the overall fun of the game, as theycan be disposed of with practice. The focus of this game is solving puzzlesto beat the levels. Wario experiences different conditions which may or maynot be advantageous, depending on the situation. Also, a nice surprise isthat when you beat the game, you discover you've only completed half of it,and must uncover secret passages leading to alternate storylines. All inall this is a truly excellent game, and you can bet I'll be gettingWarioland III as soon as I possibly can.

kick a**
This game is one of the first games to come out on the gameboy colour and it is a success. There are so many levels to keep you interested, and it will take you longer than a few days to coplete this, even for the most advanced gamer. There are so many secret passages and hidden treasure thateven though you have finished the game, there is still more for you todiscover. When you do finish it, you will find that there are still stacksof levels that you haven't copleted. For you see it is similar to a chooseyour own adventure book where after you have finished reading it, you cango back and read the other cenarios. The graphics are top notch and thegameplay is fantastic, each level is different in its own way and alsochallenging. A must. ... Read more

Alpha Team throws puzzle after puzzle at players, and challengesthem to guide a LEGO team through levels, rescue other LEGO team members, andopen the level gate. The puzzles take quite a bit of thinking, and require theuse of numerous devices, such as explosives and lasers.

Unfortunately, the graphics are quite small, and not very colorful--which isn'ta deal breaker, but does remove some of this title's shine. Also, after playersdesign a team member's path through a level, they're made to watch and see iftheir plan worked without interference.

Needless to say, this isn't the most intense game around, but it's a gooddiversion for puzzle lovers. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Solid number of LEGO devices and specially skilled team members
• Well-designed puzzles

• Small graphics, and excessive amount of auto-controlled action

LEGO Alpha Team
I got this video game for Christmas, and thought very highly of it.This video game really isn't rescuing people or going around finding treasure with your LEGO Team.It's more strategy.You have to move mirrors and stuff to the right position, and aim it so you can get to and opening in a house.After playing it, I discarded it, and I was very unhappy with my buy.But if strategy and smarts is for you, you should buy this game. ...

This game sucks!!!
I think nobody should bye this game.The graphics are really bad!!!The crapy game is imposible too,espeacally the white jerk koapaka on his level its imposible to all the light stones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SO EVERYONE DONT BUY THIS GAME YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!buy a duel masters thing or something.

cool and hot at the time
this game is the best game i have ever got in my live,
one thing i like about the game is that it is collaging,it make you think and the tip of you mind.
another thing is that the graphics are the the best out of all the game have played(and i have alot).
and the best thing about this game is the aventure you have with all the toa/toa navo. this game give you the feeling your the toa your self which is great for a real leo fan.
one more thing is this game want take you 10 min to win. it take alot longer which is a good thing. this way you want get bord with it.

Very cool!!
This game is a lot fun! You play as a Toa, go around trying to find missing matoran to help the Turaga make a key, then you open up the boss lair. Sound boring? You are very wrong. You can shoot Rahi like Nui-Jaga, Nui-Rama, and Tarakava with your elemental blasts, Charge up your energy for a super blast and beat enemies quicker, flip a switch and race over to a platform before it gets too high, and defeat Bohrok in action-packed boss levels. The only bad thing about it is the diagonal camera. You can't change it. But you'll get used to it. It is the most fun game I've played. The bottom line is: If you like Bionicle and you've always wanted to be a Toa, THEN QUIT READING AND START BUYING!! ... Read more

Wow this is craptacularly awful...
If there's one thing I loathe it's not getting bang for my buck.I have to say I feel completely ripped off having purchased this game.I'm a big fan of NBA Jam and NBA Hangtime and I thought it would be cool to have this on my GameBoy Advance SP.The first time I fired it up I thought "This is awful."I put it away in disgust.I've since tried to play (and like) the game 2 more times but I am in awe at how gawd-awful the graphics and more important the gameplay is.And like another reviewer mentioned I bought this game because of the positive reviews posted here on Amazon.com.Methinks there're people with a wicked sense of humor who enjoy the company of misery or it's one of the marketing folks from the makers of this putrid NBA Jam 2002 "port" or whatever you want to call it.I would'nt even give this crapfest 1 star but I can't post this review unless I select a rating.I give it a " -1 star".You have been warned.

Not fair!
Hey, I appreciate the effort of making an NBA game but it's not enough, there has to be more than one basketball game on GBA. I think that they should make NBA Showtime or NBA Street or NBA Live on GBA. These are some of the best basketball games on different systems. On N64, I loved NBA Showtime, I'm sure that there are many other people that want to see this game on GBA. On PS2, NBA Live and NBA Street are the best basketball game on the system. If I had the chance to make video games, I would make all of these game for GBA. If you think that I am right and want more basketball games on GBA, write reviews to tell them this!

Junk!!!
Didn't have in stock, yet advertized for it

Arrrrggg
This is definently THE WORST BASKETBALL GAME EVER!!!!You can't tell wich playor is wich, the play is SLOPPY,you can make a shot from anywhere not to mention you can get up to 9 points at mid court!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
i really like basketball i have one for every system exept gameboy and gameboy advance i thought it would be cool but if you are the kind of person who wants a realist game this is not the one for you first of all you only get to use two players on the court the people can make a basket from anywere on the court just about all the time and the people jump to the celling and instead of stealing the ball they trip you or push youover but if you do not want a realist play agaist the rule games this may be the game for you ...

Amazon.com Review

Megaman Battle Network 3 has a few significant improvements over the past two games in the series, but the overall concept is the same. Lan solves puzzles in the "real world," while Megaman.exe fights viruses and solves puzzles on the Net. The battle system is still the same, and that isn't a bad thing--it is still the best live action battle system for any RPG on a handheld.

At this point in the story, it's been about a month since Lan and Megaman's encounter with the nefarious Net Mafia Gospel, and a new semester at school is about to start. When Lan and his classmates are invited to the seemingly innocent net battler Semi-Finals at ACDC Square, little do they know that a new, incredibly evil plan is about to be hatched!

The most exciting addition to the game, hands down, is that you can now make your own Megaman with segments of code that you gather throughout the game. Watch out, though: Do it badly, and you can get a buggy program. In addition to programming your own Megaman, you can still change Megaman's battle styles (just like in Battle Network 2). The end result is the best character creation system on a handheld.

In a homage to the Pokemon games, there is both a White and Blue version of Megaman Battle Network 3. The game is more or less the same, but there are unique cards, styles, and programs for each version--which makes trading and battling via link cable a real incentive.

In short, Megaman Battle Network 3 is one of the best RPG's for the GBA, and is appropriate for all ages. Fans of traditional Megaman games will also like the live action battles. –-Bryan Karsh

Pros:

• New Programming language lets you make your own Megaman
• White and Blue versions have unique cards, styles, and bosses

Cons:

• Graphics look a little stale--a rehash of the past two games

Features

• Live action RPG featuring Megaman
• New character available only in the Blue version
• Five new Giga Class chips, a new battle style, different enemies, a new boss, and more
• Use the Game Link cable for tournament play and Battle Chip exchanges
• For 1 or more players over link cable

Jack in!! (But be very, very careful.)
I got this game just after I started watching MegaMan NT Warrior for the first time (a few days after "Evil Empress Roll Part 1" aired) and I was a bit disappointed.I'd expected the game to be more like the TV show.Still, it grew on me anyway, even if I did purchase it the day they aired "That Sinking Feeling" (the episode where MegaMan gets deleted) and was really upset after watching it, which kind of ruined my fun on the game.The graphics are fairly good, but the gameplay is REALLY, REALLY HARD unless you're good at this sort of thing.But it can be fun once you've had a bit of practice.In my case, I had to keep looking for an online strategy before I could proceed.Surprisingly, I actually managed to beat the final boss twice in one evening, but not after attempting to do so a quadrillion times, restarting the game every so often.You might want to consider this one first unless you're a ravenous MegaMan fan.(I know I am.)

Megaman Battle Network 3
Megaman is awesome! This game is cheap and fun. I get very little money but this game is worth every penny and more. Even if you aren't a Megaman Fan I was not a fan either before I got the game. I have blue version and want to get White version now. There are different battle chips for each one so be careful which you choose. If you want a game with strategy and action this has both. My two friends who are both big time gamers and have had the game for 6 months coudn't do it so it is pretty hard. It's a long game but it's worth it. For those who have the game if you beat Alpha go to Hades where you battled Gutsman in the N-1 Chaud will be there. NETBATTLE HIM! PROTOMAN'S CHIP IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I with 46 days won easily.

Man, this is great!!!
This game is very good for anyone who likes RPG-Action Games. Good battle styles, good missions, there is only one flaw.
THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. You do some thing, then you chase a boss!!! BUT THIS GAME IS GREAT!!!!!!!

Megaman ROCKS!
This game is pretty challenging yet fun. The bosses you get to fight are kinda easy if you have alot of sword chips. There are many secrets to this game. I just love this game, words can't explain it. But I'm stuck and can't beat Bass and Alpha. It seems that My Aqua, Elec Bug,Wood Guts Style isn't good enough to beat him. If your a Megaman fan you"ll love this game. BUY IT NOW PEOPLE!

One major glitch...
If you have a key item and you save while you have it the item will still be there but the ebent that the item goes with isn't there so the item then can't be used i don't know if it's only the part with Flashman or all the key item parts. ... Read more

tizight
This game is one of the best games I have ever played for gameboy advance. It so exciting when you get 1st place in one of the races. when I first got the game I didn't think I would like it but when I started playing I really got into the game.

Fastpaced, but hasa few drawbccks.
I own this game and have raced all the tracks, but the problem i have is that, out of the five times i have beat the game, only 7 cars have opened up for racing. The game says there are 15 cars to chose from, but as you complete each race and come in first place, there are a few new cars that you have access to.My question is, how do you get the other cars to open? or are they really there? I have beat this game five times, and have gone back to each race to see ifthe other cars will be opened up, but no luck?

Very Good!!!!
I bought the GBA last August when it first came out with the original GT Advance. The game was excellent except the password part. Now I tried GT Advance 2 and it was fun!!! No more annoying passwords, to save you use the Battery Save feature. Theres also a new feature that lets you listen to your co-driver as he navigates you through tough spots on a trail. This game is cool!!

THIS GAME IS AWSOME.....well almost
If you are new in racing games this game will be very hard for you.
At first this game will be a bit boring because you will have to learn how to control the car but once you learn that this game will be a Perfect racer and you will love the high jumps you get when you go speeding off a hill. Another cool feature is the BATTERY SAVE, yep that's right NO MORE PASSWORDS!, but you have to remember to save the game after each race because this game has no AUTO SAVE and you will also have to remember about loading the game. Besides all of it's very small defects GT Advance 2 is a must have Racing game for your GBA

awsome game
This game is the best! the graphics are great, and the cars are sweet.I waited for along time for this game and when I got it, it was great.the tracks are the best.it's cool to fly over jumps, and somtimes cars.overall this was a great game ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Like its companion titleDragon Warrior: Monsters 2,Tara's Adventure, the plot of Dragon Warrior: Monsters 2, Cobi'sJourney takes you to the island of GreatLog, where, as a member of a familyof monster farmers, you complete a series of missions to keep the island fromsinking. Cobi looks for magical keys, explores a number of alternative worlds,performs reconnaissance for an impetuous king, and even joins the circus. Butcollecting and breeding monsters is the real meat of this game, and is the areawith the most intricate and addictive gameplay.

Each monster has its own complex set of characteristics, and can be matched withany monster of the opposite gender to produce a new member of Cobi's monstermenagerie (don't worry: the actual breeding takes place offscreen). The resultsof monster breeding can be surprising, and allow for nearly endlessexperimentation. Of course, your responsibilities don't end with breeding: youmust also take your monsters out on missions to give them experience and keepthem sharp. Let your monsters languish for too long on the farm and they'll getlazy and disobedient.

The monster breeding by itself wouldn't be much fun if it weren't for the game'simaginative settings and strong characters. Despite the Game Boy's modestgraphics and sound capabilities, the game evokes distinctive atmospheres andpersonalities through an inventive use of textures and dialogue boxes. Themultiple menus necessary for successful navigation of this world at first appeardauntingly complex, but the interface does a good job of leading you along untilyou get the hang of things.

Dragon Warrior: Monsters 2, Cobi's Journey stresses creativity andconstructive behavior over conflict. While it's true that you can hardly takethree steps without your monsters getting into another fight, the violenceitself is not at all graphic, and outcomes rely as much on strategy andrelationships as on brute force. The world of the game is a gentle and whimsicalone where nothing too bad ever happens. Even if one of your monsters hasthe misfortune of getting killed, it follows you around in a cute little coffinuntil you can arrange for a resurrection.

The one disappointment with Dragon Warrior: Monsters 2, Cobi's Journey isnot so much with the title itself as with its much-hyped interaction with itscompanion title, Dragon Warrior:Monsters 2, Tara's Adventure. Linking with another Game Boy Colorrunning either the same cartridge or its companion title enables, among otherthings, monster swapping and multiplayer adventuring, but the layouts, plots,characters, and dialogue are virtually identical in Tara's Adventure andCobi's Journey. The addition of a few extra monster types and spellshardly justifies the expense of a second game cartridge.

But never mind. Dragon Warrior: Monsters 2, Cobi's Journey provides morethan enough fun missions, engaging characters, and imaginative settings to rateas a smashing success as a standalone. --David Stoesz

Pros:

• Minimal violence
• Battery save feature lets you bookmark your progress without using passwords

• Virtually identical to Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey
• Missions can lead to aimless wandering

it's NOT a flaw...
I just wanna say that the 'flaw' some reviewers mentioned IS NOT a flaw. The 'supposed to be fixed' flaw is..

"Another flaw is that the bugs in the combat system were never fixed (if you assign a monster to attack another monster and the monster you want it to attack dies before yours has a chance to strike, the attack goes to waste. In other RPGs, when this happens, the attack is usually inflicted onto another target, but not here.)"

What this means is that instead of just executing commands or button-smashing, you gotta assign appropriate command to your monsters; you gotta know your enemies. There is no such thing as 'wasted' attack/command because you should know how much attack and magic would take an enemy monster away, what specific spell/how many times will wipe them out, and etc.You are playing a role-playing game here; monsters simply follow what YOU ordered them to do...they don't simply decide on their own and decide to be 'effective' by cutting down the 'wasted' attack all of sudden.

I know I'm being a 'jerk' here...and may be they are right..it was a bug, which was supposed to be fixed.However, being a Dragon Warrior Mosnters lover, I just had to get it out of the system.Any game has some kind of flaw.However, when a specific feature of a game, which is specifically designed for a specific reason, is being labeled as 'flaw/bug' then it's a different story.

My apology for those who said it's a bug/flaw (not trying to criticize your review, simply stating my opinion), but you gotta say what you gotta say, right?

Enjoy a 'flawless' game, at least before my 'biased' eyes.

Even Better Then Dragon Warrior Monsters 1!!!
I never thought it was possible to make a game better then DWM 1.But somehow, they created a game with better graphics, faster walking, cooler guys, KEY WORLDS, and a whole new family of cool water based monsters.The key worlds make it way easier to train your monsters.The all new water family is super cool.There are all new "Best of their family" type monsters and cool new ???'s.It is also a lot easier to make Darkdrium(the "best ??? family monster").It only gets better.There are 2 parts of this game Cobi's(older brother) and Tara(younger sister).Tara's is better for making the ??? family monsters anf Cobi's is harder to beat.The game is just to good to put in one cartrige.To bad it isnt like those never ending Final Fantasy games and stops at #2.I would really suggest buying this game!!!

Yes, it is Worthy Sequel of Dragon Warrior Monster
Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey is the sequel of Dragon Warrior Monsters for Gameboy Color. I spent 140 hours in total for the first game and that alone tells how much I was in love with the game. Trust me, I was dying to play the second one especially when I heard of its enhancements from the Dragon Warrior Monsters. So how do I feel about the game after spending about 70 hours to finish the second one?I'm very satisfied, not as much as the first one, however, very glad I did.

The obvious change from the first one is that they created two games, just like Pokemon (which I thought it wasn't necessary at all/ and I'll give you my reason why later). So what you could do is exchange certain monsters between two games for those who want to collect everything.(personally I do not like the pokemon idea when I have no one else to trade with, especially when you are in your late 20s..) The reason I didn't like having two almost identical games plot is because you need both games in order to unlock the one special stage, which gives you the access to the ultimate stage at the end although it's not necessary to finish the game. And I do not see myself playing almost same game again in order to gain that access. If they have created both game with substantial difference, not just some exclusive monsters, but with different story lines and plot, then it would be attractive enough to play the second game to gain that last access.

Ok, I do not want to give you the impression that this game isn't worth playing by giving you some of my complaint.However, this game excels great in plot from the Dragon Warrior Monsters. In Dragon Warrior Monsters, you are traveling through bunch of maze and encounter boss at the end, period.However, in the Dragon Warrior Monsters 2, which has to be the biggest enhancement from the first one, is composed of literal stories, just like Dragon Warrior games. THIS LITERALLY FELT LIKE PLAYING OLD DRAGON WARRIOR GAMES ALL OVER AGAIN WITH MY PRECIOUS MONSTERS ON THE SIDE (ok, I just sounded like Gollum from the Lord of the Rings..)Do you know how great this is???It's like having second Christmas for those who are thirsty for more Dragon Warrior games, seriously. They have also increased the categories of monsters substantially, which added numerous monsters to the original Dragon Warrior Monsters.

You are probably thinking this game gotta be better than the first one, especially with its real story lines and more monsters, right? Well, it's not that simple, however. There's no argument that the second one is much better because of its real story lines. However, I believe the biggest difference, or sort to speak the deciding factor between two games, comes to be the combination of core of story line and the music. Although the second one has much better story line compare with the first one, where you just wander around in bunch of maze, second one does not quite provide that compelling reason for the player, or the main character in the game to pursue what he/she is pursuing ultimately.In the first game, Terry had to find his kidnapped sister, training his monsters vigorously, winning various tournaments to save his sister, ultimately gives you this THE reason for going through all that hardship. However, in the second game, Cobi goes through series of wonderful story lines in order to find this `plug', to prevent kingdom from being sunken, which was caused by this mischievous princess, whom I felt like spanking for his attitude problem.First one's story line was justified by the ending, ultimately saving Terry's sister, however, second one had very strong story content, yet weak ending with much less motivating force than the first one.
This is just my opinion; I mean who really cares about the driving force of the character, right?Well, it meant a lot to me somehow and I could somehow feel for the Terry, who's child himself yet going through all the training and hardship to find his sister.I believe that I felt that way because of the music. First one had this series of incredible music, which definitely added not only to the atmosphere but combined with the story line and creates this incredible EXPERIENCE, which becomes very satisfying/rewarding at the end. However, the combination of the story and the music in the second one does not create same level of experience despite of its excellent story and music.

The bottom line is you will buy and play this game no matter what if you've enjoyed the first one. And trust me, you will enjoy this one tremendously as well.I do not know what to tell you if you are new to the series...I would suggest that you would play the first one then move on to the second one. (and I guess you wouldn't be looking at the review in the first place if you haven't played the first one)

You know what, I think I'll play the Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Tara's Adventure to unlock the ultimate stage on the second thought; Writing this review convinced me that it's definitely worth playing, AGAIN.

Enjoy them.

Pretty engaging adventure
Any game that involves collecting monsters is going to draw comparisons to the all-holy Pokemon. It's unavoidable. So let's dismiss the assumption that Enix's Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 is a Pokemon clone. It is not. If anything, it's a merging of Pokemon and Monster Rancher. If you want to collect every monster imaginable, you're gonna need to put some of your fave beasts out to stud and breed whole new species. Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 is actually two games in one. The first half of the game is a very classical Japanese RPG. The kingdom's in trouble and it's up to you, the unsuspecting hero, to save the day. The second half is all about finding new monsters, building them up, breeding them, and repeating the process to infinity with the hopes of finding every last species. There are two separate games you can buy, Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey or Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Tara's Adventure. Both titles are nearly identical. The same quest, the same results. But each title has unique monsters and magic keys. To reach all of the many lands of Dragon Warrior Monsters 2, you'll have to breed monsters and swap keys with a buddy playing the other game. Cobi and Tara are friendly siblings whose family has just opened a monster ranch on the tiny island of GreatLog. Their peaceful lives are soon disrupted when the irresponsible Prince Kameha and his monster sidekick, Warubou, accidentally destroy the GreatLog's navel plug (yes, you read that right). As often happens when an island's navel plug is destroyed, GreatLog begins to sink. Warubou acts as a temporary plug, but it is up to you as either Cobi or Tara to journey to five different worlds in search of a replacement plug. From here the RPG is pretty standard. Travel around fighting random monsters and talking to various people in the town. All this leads you to a Boss encounter where you finally retrieve the potential plug replacement. You can only take three monsters with you on each journey, the rest are left at your father's ranch. Choose wisely. Enix has done a nice job balancing this game. Monsters become increasingly difficult to defeat as you progress through the game, but never so much that it gets frustrating. Random monster encounters are never so common that they become annoying. On average, you'll hit one encounter on each screen. Battles aren't yours to fight, but are left for your monsters. The wilder a monster is, the less likely they are to follow orders in combat. Give them love (and boatloads of food) and they will become more obedient. Each monster is capable of learning skills that are of great help come combat time. All of the bosses are tough, but none are impossible to beat. The bulk of the game comes after the RPG is finished. Once the credits roll, you're free to search for magic keys that will unlock a myriad of worlds to explore, monsters to nab, and items to find. Breeding is the key to finishing both the RPG and finding all of the available monsters. Each monster will be either male or female. Choose a mom and a dad who are both 10th level or above and take them to Professor Monster at the Starry Shrine. Now it's time to dim the lights, put on some soothing Barry White, and let nature take its course. Apparently, Enix isn't too hot on parental values because before your newborn can hatch, mom and dad split, never to be seen again. And I mean never. Left behind is their powerful and unique offspring.
With the link cable you can hook up with friends and battle your monsters, swap keys and monsters, or even breed two monsters together. The monsters that come from breeding with your buddy's crew are some of the best you can get. Breeding new creatures, exploring the many new worlds of Dragon Warrior Monsters 2, and dealing some smack-down to your friends adds a lot of depth to an already solid RPG. Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 is a step up from the original thanks to more monsters and the need to link up with a friend in order to truly finish the game. The RPG takes anywhere from 8-12 hours, but it's the monster ranching that makes the game a winner. It would have been nice if Cobi and Tara had two separate RPG's, but like the Stones said, you can't always get what you want. If you like Monster Rancher, this is the game for you. No, it's not as good or as addictive as Pokemon, but it is a great game nonetheless.

Few times played
Seemed excited when she opened the box, but as far as I can tell, my daughter has not played this game much. Asked why, she said it was alright. ... Read more

Gaming Mom from the 80's
This was one of my favorite arcade games when I was in high school.I was shocked to see that after nearly 20 years that it was available for Game Boy.I bought this one for myself, sure that my 10 year old son would not care for it.This is the type of game in which the player clears levels.Each level gets more difficult.There isn't anything complicated about the way this game progresses.In this game the player plays a thief who is trying to pick up what I believe are floppy disks.The setting is a cross-section of a building of many floors with rows of doors on each floor and escalators on either end of each floor.The elevator is in the center of the building.Armed security people can come out of the doors at any time and shoot at the thief, who can then duck or jump over the bullets (and shoot back of course.)The player can also shoot out the lights to temporarily make the room dark to aid in sneaking off to a safer area.One funny way to get rid of the people chasing the player is to make them get squashed underneath the elevator.Once all the disks are picked up, the player advances to the next level, which will contain more security people and eventually dogs.This game is good for people of all ages because the first two or three levels are easy (but still fun), making it good for younger players, while the more advanced levels are very challenging.I was certain my son would not like this game, but he loved it.In fact, it was his favorite game for a while.In no time at all, he could advance to a level past what I could reach.I highly recommend this game for an adult who misses the older arcade games, or for a youth who is tired of the modern-style adventure games. ...
