    1-0 out of 5 stars What is this all about?
    I bought this game thinking that it would be like Defenders. I was horribly wrong. It is very hard to lock onto a target. I don't think that this game is racist, it is just hard.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Fun Combat Flight Sim
    Expanding on their successful F-14 combat simulator, Majesco moves you into the seat of the F/A-18F Super Hornet. If you have played F-14, than you will be at home with this 2nd offering. This is not an arcade style action game, it is a basic combat flight simulator similar in concept to what you would find at a Naval Air Station to train combat pilots. Flying from a carrier in the NAG and land bases near Iraq, you are a tasked with enforcing UN Resolutions to drive Saddam from power. While the storyline is now somewhat dated, and in hindsight historically inaccurate...the game play itself is a good way to fill a few empty minutes. I keep a copy of this, and F-14 in my flight bag to fill occasional downtime.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Need for Speed Underground 2: It's Addictive
    Note: Please read bottom of review before reading!

    NFS Underground 2 is a very good game. It has 4 modes and 2 are good that I know of. I'll explain everything in the main menu. They are Race Now which lets you have quick race (that shouldn't make you that mad if you lose), Go Underground, in other words, the campaign, which you go to to unlock cars, upgrades, and tracks for play in the Race Now mode, Mini Games which really isn't worth doing, Garage where you work on your cars, Profile where you can look at how much of the game you completed, your personal stats, high scores, and go to options, and Multiplayer which I haven't done yet so I can't tell anything else than you do stuff with others (by linking!). There are 10 different things for upgrading and there is a section where you can change your cars looks to make it attractive. Before I end, I would like to share a few things. When you have driven over 500 miles, you get a Nissan Skyline NFS style. And the best cars are Mitshubishi Lancer EVO VIII (all-around) and Nissan Skyline (speed). If you like rock you'll love this music, if not you'll need to turn the sound off!

    **WARNING**

    If you do not like short games, please go find
    another game!

    4-0 out of 5 stars not as good as the first
    this game, while having some great improvements added, is not as good as the first. Its a great game but it just isnt as addicting as the first. need for speed underground 1 is still the best racing game for the gba in my opinion although its not as advanced as this. However it is still a very good game, although somewhat short.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Part 2 of the Underground
    When I got this game, I found that it was pretty much the same as Underground 1, except the graphics were a bit different. But as I got farther on, I noticed new things. The drags are much more involved this time, with jumps and traffic. The drift is the same. The circuit levels get better as you go. There are 3 parts of circuit racing. Part one of Circuit takes place in the outskirts of the city, part 2 takes place in twilight on the outskirts, and part3 takes place at night in the dead of the city. The levels that are the best to play are Financial, Docks, and Freeway. In this game, you don't get money when you win, you get points, which are the same as money. The cars are the same, but the twist is that when you win a certain number of races, you get one of the cars again, but his time it's already pimped out for you. Say you have a regular Skyline. If you win a certain amount of races, you get another Skyline that's pimped out EA GAMES style. The parts for the cars are better, too. There's neon lights to put under the car this time. The game is pretty good. I've had it for 2 days and I'm already 86% done with it. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great conversion from Amiga
    If you are looking for a fun WW1 aircraft simulator, this should keep you hooked for a while.

    The original on the Amiga is very well carried over to the GBA. A number of improvements also - much better bombing and strafing missions which are harder and more controlable. The majority of the missions will be flying (the best type) and you can toggle views (thankfully) so you are not constricted by the default behind cockpit view. You can chose an allied or German campaign to play which is also a nice new feature.

    Yes there could have been weather and lighting changes (but to be honest, it would make viewing the screen harder than it already is for this game)

    A really good smooth flowing game keeping you interested in the ever developing (true) storyline.

    Get hold of a copy of this great dogfighting/WW1 simulator.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Wings is one of the best games ever!!!
    I've gotten into the Amiga version of this game like no other. I even bought the 1927 movie. Everyone who likes dogfighting should get this game!

    4-0 out of 5 stars My favorite dogfight sim ever...
    This was perhaps my favorite game on the Commodore Amiga. Its awesome on the GBA but I see a few minor flaws. One of my favorite things on the Amiga version was the different tunes that changed after each mission as you read the squadron journal. Also, the lighting condition doesn't seem to change. For example, in the Amiga version you had to patrol during different times of the day such as dawn or dusk. Another thing is that this version is difficult as its very easy to collide with another plane and get shot down. Some pilots even seem like they're trying to ram into you. The plane's control in strafing mode is very difficult unlike the Amiga version. I usually fail. Bombing mode is improved and awesome. Another improvement they've made is the option to play as the allies or the Germans. Please Cinemaware/Metro 3d make a Playstation 2 version of this game. Perhaps it could be made even more detailed with weather conditions and the choosing of different planes a la Red Baron for PC. I'd also like to see the classic missions back with the original tunes that I still remember vividly after 13 years!!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Wings
    Its not the same missions as the original on the Amiga but its still alot of fun.And the enemy pilots are alot smarter too.I'd recommend this to anyone who likes aerial dogfighting games.One more thing u can choose which side you want to fight on, Allies or Germans!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Lets hope its as good a the amiga version
    Ahh the nostalgia -- I've been checking [web address] etc.. for the last couple of months for this game. It seems like I've only a couple more days to wait.

    It will be interesting to see how the game has changed eg the multiplayer dogfights, different weather conditions , much better graphics etc. Unfortunatley looks like I'll as ever have to play it directly under my reading light in my reading chair. However saying that i;m delighted to see someone has had the sense to remake this classic game, it will definetly be on my shopping list when it comes out - I just have to persuade someone to buy another copy so I can check out the multi-player.

    Also - some of you might be interested to see that cinemare are realeasing a "digitally remastered" (where have I heard that term before Mr Lucas) collectors addition of the old amiga game. I wonder will it be much like the GBA title or just improvement on the amiga version. who knows, check out that also at the cinemaware website.. thats another possible buy for me (I really am a slave to old amiga games :) )

    Anyway from the screenshots and movies I've seem I'd recommend it.Hopefully Crawfish/Metro 3d/Cinemaware you wont let me down. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars The bestd graphicson GBA
    I like this game because have a solid graphics, good entretaiment is a good opcion for a saturdaynight.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Fun game, but a little hard.
    Over all, this was a fun game. But as my title says it was hard. I think that most people will get stuck on leval 2 as I did. (Hint: if you get far enough before time runs out you beat the leval.)With 14 fun levals it's a good game.

    1-0 out of 5 stars hard
    This game is hard. I couldn't beat the second level. the graphics are good but it takes forever for a person to get the password. I didn't even get the password. If you like challening games, go ahead and try this game. But i say save your money.

    5-0 out of 5 stars A great shoot-em-up
    I bought this game so that I could fly my favorite ship from the Star Wars trilogy and blast tie fighters.I got what I was looking for.This game offers up some great action, awesome scenery, and spectacular space battles.

    The view is third person from behind your vehicle, and the action is fast and furious arcade style.Controls are easy to master.You can move your vehicle in any direction, speed up, slow down, and fire primary and secondary weapons.A small target crosshair in the distance aids in lining up shots.

    While most of the game features the Millennium Falcon, there are other vehicles you have to pilot.Luke's landspeeder, an X-Wing fighter, and a speeder bike.The first level starts us off with the Millennium Falcon approaching Tatooine, and you have to shoot down tie fighters that are coming after you.The remainder of the game showcases Luke's landspeeder navigating the streets of Mos Eisely spaceport, the Falcon traversing a desert canyon while shooting down probe droids, the attack on the Death Star, the asteroid field, a strange level where the Falcon chases Boba Fett's ship though Bespin's cityscape, the escape from the super Star Destroyer, the chaotic battle over Endor, a speeder bike chase, and the assault on the second Death Star.

    The space battles are intense, with waves of tie fighters coming in, and flybys over Star Destroyers and the rebel fleet.This game is a great 3D shoot-em-up.Some of the other levels are obstacle courses.The Death Star trench is filled with crossbeams and turrets, making it a pretty challenging obstacle course to maneuver through.The asteroid field is what one might expect.Avoid the asteroids while shooting at the tie fighters.The final level has the Falcon maneuvering through the interior of the second Death Star.The reactor core and its defenses make for a nice end-game boss.

    Visually, the game is impressive.The scenery is absolutely fantastic.Especially the spaceport, forest, and space-going vistas above planets.Tie fighters look like little blips when they're far away, but they look great up close when they fly by.There are normal tie fighters, tie bombers, and tie interceptors.Out in space, there's some notable pop-up.I was surprised when the first Star Destroyer just sort of popped onto the screen.When you get closer, the Star Destroyers look fabulous.The scenery in the spaceport and forest is great, sporting some nice detail.The Falcon looks good, as does the X-Wing.

    This game performs just as well in the sound department.All of the familiar themes from the movies are present, and the game does an admirable job with them.The effects are awesome.Tie fighter laser blasts sound exactly like they're supposed to.So does everything else, from the Death Star's turrets to the Falcon's engines as it speeds up.A Chewbacca roar accompanies the selecting of an option.Han Solo says "You're all clear, kid!" when you approach the exhaust port, and Lando Calrissian says "Here goes nothing" as you enter the interior of the second Death Star.A nice touch.

    This game is pretty hard.It's not a game you can zip through on your first try.It takes some getting used to, and it takes practice.You're given a limited number of lives, and a few continues.Four-character passwords are given out at the end of each episode.The first level is pretty easy; then the challenges begin.Be prepared to crash into walls many times before mastering the obstacle courses.

    There are few details I really like about this game.In some of the levels, you don't crash if you fly into the floor (like, while flying over the surface of the Death Star).Instead, the game just places a limit on how low you can go.You also don't have to worry about crashing into a canyon wall or a side wall of a trench.In some of the levels, your vehicle only takes damage from hitting obstacles (as opposed to an instant death).I like this as well.Of course, a head-on crash with something usually results in an instant death; but not always.I was ramming head-on into trees during the speeder bike chase, and I was only taking damage.Speaking of which, this is the best speeder bike level I've seen in a game.It looks great, plays great, and is a lot of fun.

    Completing the game gives a password that unlocks a bonus game.It's an old-fashioned, side-scrolling shoot-em-up where you fly the Falcon and shoot down tie fighters.Pretty cool.

    I have just a few complaints with this game.The Star Destroyer pop-up leaves something to be desired.Would've been nicer if you could see it approaching in the distance.The Falcon's dogfight with the tie fighters after the escape from the Death Star is conspicuously absent.And there are some cheap shots near the end as prevalent tie bombers fly into view from behind.If you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, you'll crash into one of them.

    All said and done, I had a great time with Flight Of The Falcon.It's a fun shoot-em-up with great graphics, beautiful scenery, awesome sound effects, and some engaging game-play.The faults here are few, and the strengths are many.My verdict:thumbs way up.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Ugh....
    This game is truly awful. Save your money and buy a good game like Golden sun. ... Read more

    hey i had almost every need for speed game, and i decided 2 get a new 1, cause i wanted 2 see wat it was lyk. i started playin, and i was just blown away at the grafics and how detailed it was. if u dont got this game, i insist u GET IT NOW.

    4-0 out of 5 stars You Won't Finad a Better Racing Game...
    I have gotten NFS Underground almost a year ago, and it is still awesome. The main idea of the game is to simply, well... Race! You can choose from four race options: circuit, drag, drift, and sprint. Each have different rules, such as who can reach the highest miximum speed, who can bang against the border least often, and so on. Circuit is the simple race. No special rules.

    Pros.
    1. Lots of different cars to choose from
    2. Hundreds of different ways you can customize your car. Every time you win a race, you gain money. You lose money if you lose a race. The better the part you want to install is, the more expensive it is. Different motors, bumpers, stickers, and yes, you can change the color of the car. I heard many people say you cannot. They are wrong.
    3. The music is awesome. And the songs are not just something to keep you entertained while you play. Those songs are for real. Believe it or not, but I sametimes turn off the SFX and put the music on maximum and play with nothing but the music
    4. The races are not that easy. It takes a long time to finally beat a challenge. This will keep you entertained for a long, long time
    5. The controls are really easy to learn

    Cons.
    1. The graphics, I'm sad to say, are not the best. These are probably the main reason I brought the rating down from a five to a four.
    2. All the good parts, as well as other car colors other than silver, are locked until you get farther in the game
    3. Sometimes being challanged by others can get really annoying. That is, whenever you click on the option to race, you get to pick the player you want to race against. Once in a while you get challanged, and you cannot do anything but go ahead and race. You can't refuse!

    Overall, a great game. GET IT!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Pretty good
    Street racing is very different from and, in many ways, more exciting than traditional automobile racing. Competitions take place out on the regular streets and freeways of the city, as opposed to the relatively safe confines of a closed professional course. Instead of cups and medals, prize winnings are paid out in cash, which many participants use to trick out their cars with fancy paint jobs and slick body kits--even when performance upgrades, such as turbo kits and exhaust systems, make the most sense. In street racing, your car's appearance is just as important as winning the race. Need for Speed Underground brings this fast and furious world of street racing on to the Game Boy Advance with mostly positive results. Apart from the graphics, everything from the console versions of the game has made it on to the GBA cartridge. Watch out for the cross traffic at intersections. Need for Speed Underground has all of the necessary options and modes that a handheld racing game ought to have. Competitions include circuit (multiple laps), sprint (half laps), drag, and drift events. Each event has roughly 10 different tracks devoted to it, and you have the option of bringing a friend in for two-player matches using the link cable. While it's nice to be able to race against another live human being and show off your rides to each another, the heart of the game is its single-player underground mode. In the underground mode, you join up with a clique of street racers and participate night after night in various events with the sole purpose of rising up the ranks and funneling cash into your vehicle. The number of available cars, parts, and upgrades is phenomenal. While there are only 20 different basic car bodies to choose from, you can create thousands of unique-looking vehicles with the many hundreds of body parts and paint schemes at your disposal. There aren't many GBA games out there that let you swap out the bumpers, hood, tires, side skirt, and tinting on your car, in addition to the usual set of engine, turbo, brake, and suspension upgrades. Popular manufacturers, such as Ford, Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, and Volkswagen, are represented, as are more than two-dozen parts vendors, including Dazz Motorsport, Enkei, MOMO, and Neuspeed.
    When you get out to the street, NFS: Underground sheds its simulator-style trappings and turns into the sort of easygoing driving game that anyone from beginners to experts can jump right into. The A and B buttons control acceleration and braking, and if you select a manual transmission, the L and R buttons allow you to downshift and upshift. A few races into the underground mode, you can purchase a nitro boost upgrade, which you can activate by tapping up on the directional pad. Each course has a good variety of straights, soft curves, sharp turns, and dips. The physics engine has a realistic degree of skid, which is great if you're the kind of player who likes to slide around corners, but it doesn't overdo it to the point that you'll have to worry about spinouts or rollovers. Likewise, you're not really penalized all that much for smacking into walls or colliding with cross traffic. If you smash into a bus at 100mph, you'll lose speed and skid for a bit, but it doesn't take long to regain control and get back in to the race. Each car comes with its own set of speed, acceleration, and handling characteristics, which you'll feel during the race as steering response and skid tendency. Surprisingly, the game's 3D graphics are both its best feature and its worst problem. The developers really pushed the GBA to the limit using this sort of texture-mapped polygon engine. It's wonderful that you can actually make out details, like window frames, fences, and highway signs, along the road, but the resolutions are so blocky that it's sometimes difficult to figure out which way the pavement is going to turn. It helps to play through the courses and learn where the turns are, although that's the kind of thing that you want to do to learn the layout of a course, not just so you'll remember to take a hard right after the brown splotch up ahead. Thankfully, this pixelation issue doesn't have a bearing on how any of the vehicles look. While you may not be able to distinguish a guardrail from an on-ramp, at times, every car looks shiny and crisp when viewed from all distances and at various angles. This means you'll have plenty of opportunities during the race to admire the custom window tinting and vinyl decorations you applied to your car the night before. Trick out your car with performance parts, body parts, paint jobs, and vinyl decorations. Despite its problematic graphics, Need for Speed Underground is still a joy to play. The courses have a good mixture of powerslide and speed run sections, and CPU drivers tend to keep the races close without resorting to typical cheats, like passing through commuter vehicles or teleporting in right behind you. If you're a wannabe car buff, it's easy to spend hours just upgrading and tinkering with your car in order to develop a custom ride that suits your personality. The last thing that bears mentioning--and this is only a significant note for some of you--is the fact that the music EA chose to put in the game won't appeal to everyone. During the menus and during each race, you'll hear a random pick from any of four different song loops, including "Get Low" by Lil Jon, "Sucked In" by Jerk, "Doomsday" by Overseer, and "The Only" by Static-X. Luckily, if you don't like the selection of music, you can shut it off in the options menu. In fact, the in-game engine and tire sound effects are superb and can suffice all on their own. Warts and all, Need for Speed Underground is a good racing game--not because it's pretty, but because it's actually engaging and fun to play.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Just Extremely good!!!
    Hi everyone, I just bought this need for speed because i knew that almost of the "need for speed" games were good. But this one.... incredible!! All the things with did not find in others nfs are here. Just goog! built up your dream car guys! (girl too hehe)

    5-0 out of 5 stars This game rocks!
    I love this game, however it is my first game with the GBA, I bought it along with ATV Racing and ESPN Golf 2002.
    You can race and aquire more money to upgrade your cars and/or purchase new cars. The only downside, all your cars are silver, no paint variations that I have found, only static decals that can be applied after winning so many races.
    This game is a must have for race fans! ... Read more

    After being burned by Bicycle Casino on Xbox, I was surprised when I saw that a new casino game had been released for the Game Boy Advance.After the slightly disappointing GBA version of Caesar's Palace, I was hoping Golden Nugget Casino would fill the void of a good portable gambling game.I guess I should have been skeptical when I saw Majesco's name on the box.They were the ones that distributed Caesar's Palace.Imagine my surprise when I popped the cartridge in and saw a menu screen that was eerily reminiscent of Caesar's.I decided to give craps a try first.My name came up on the screen with little stars surrounding it.The table looked very familiar.Wait a minute... this IS Caesar's Palace... just with a new name on the table.

    Yes folks, if you already own Caesar's Palace for the GBA, don't bother wasting your money on this.It's the exact same game, minus a slot machine (I believe Caesar's had 3, GN only as 2 and they both are not very good).If you don't own Caesar's, it's not a bad gambling game by any means, but the controls and presentation are rather cumbersome.For instance, in craps, you must select your bet from the awkward chip menu, then move the cursor around to place your bet, then move the cursor all the way back to the bottom to select "Done" before the dice roll.Couldn't they have used a shoulder button to do an "instant roll" or something?Video Poker is presented well in terms of machine variety, but everytime you win, the screen scrolls down to display the paytable, then slowly scrolls back up to show you how many credits you have, the scrolls back to the "ready" position for the next hand.This takes a good 5-10 seconds after every win.A little bothersome to say the least.And finally, there is NO battery backup.If you want to save your progress, you write down a long password.

    While it may sound like I gave an overwhelmingly negative review, Golden Nugget Casino is NOT that bad of a game.At the low price it's being offered at, it's a good pickup for long trips.Just be warned though- this is not exactly a new game! ... Read more

    1-0 out of 5 stars Save your money and Don't buy this game.
    I was lucky to get this game as a present because I would have really wasted my money.
    The game was fun for the first 30 minutes but it quickly went downhill. The same music starts to get annoying and the cars are hard to control because of your point of view in the game. And instead of just saving it give you passwords to write down and memorize.All you do in this game is just...drive!
    I quickly get bored with this game and I'm even thinking of selling this game to salvage some of the wasted money.

    Don't Buy this game.

    I rented the Midnight Club for the Xbox and found it really fun. I've been thinking about buying the game but I'm looking for one used or when the price goes down. I went to a local game store and saw this game. I thought it would be like the Xbox game but actually it's pretty lame. It's like playing Grand Thief Auto and you can't even get the car to drive straight most of the time. I didn't find it very fun and I think I should of just kept my money. Not worth it in my mind. I don't mind selling it to someone else.

    9. F-Zero : Maximum Velocity

    Amazon.com Review

    If you like blazing-fast racing games (and have thumbs ofsteel), F-Zero: Maximum Velocity is one of the wildest rides yetfor a handheld system. Based on the famous Super NES game of yore, thefuturistic F-Zero asks you to pick from a starting lineup offour pilot hovercrafts that tear across flat but hazardous tracks. Yourgoal: compete for first place so you can advance to the next track anddifficulty level.

    To have any success in F-Zero, great reflexes and a memory fortrack detail are absolute musts. While the controls are responsive, ingeneral the frictionless racing means that almost all cars have asuitably loose feel to them, and require skilled pilots to handlecorners. Be warned that gamers with adult-size thumbs may be in for avery painful experience due to the constant mashing of the GBA'sshoulder buttons. When you get bored of racing the computer, you cantake on up to four opponents via the link cable--and unlike multiplayerGame Boy games, only one cartridge is needed.

    While F-Zero features many tracks and skill levels, beyond thesimplistic (yet challenging) racing, there isn't much depth.Fortunately, the silky smooth animation and detailed graphics shouldkeep fans of speedy arcade racers taxing their thumbs long afterthey've brought home the checkered flag. --Mark Brooks

    Pros:

    • Ridiculously fast-paced arcade racing done right
    • Many tracks and hovercraft to choose from as you gain skill
    • Graphics give a good hint of the GBA's pixel-pushing power
    • Four-player racing is a blast
    Cons:
    • Extremely painful to the thumbs of adult-size hands
    • Lack of depth may be a turnoff once novelty of speed wears off

    5-0 out of 5 stars My first GBA game
    This was my first GBA game and I was stunned by the amazing graphics this game featured. It has the best control set-up out of any GameBoy game I've ever played. The race cars are cool and the tracks are amazing. The have obstacles but not too much. The snow tracks can sometimes be tough when you end up slipping on the ice. The key to getting the best turns is to press the "A" button repetatively while turning instead of holding it down. FOr more hits about racing, press the SELECT button at the title screen to access the secret tutorial. I would recommend this game because it is the best racing game I've played on the GBA.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Good launch game brought down by apoor soundtrack.
    While I still play this more than most of my Game Boy Advance games it is a little disappointing.Yeah yeah yeah the speed is excellent and its pretty fun but thats about it.Its really not as good as any of the other F Zero games Ive played and I think its because of a poor soundtrack.I really liked the music in the past 2 F Zero games but the music here was just too bland and it was mostly drowned out by the sound of the vehicles engine.I know that a soundtrack isnt everything but to me it adds more fun to the gameplay.Hopefully the new F Zero game coming out in September will be better but if you play your Game Boy Advance a lot and like racing you should still buy it.

    4-0 out of 5 stars F Zero the good and the bad.
    Well after about 3 years of waiting the sequel to F Zero X is finally here.Now that I think about it this game was like a tasty little appetizer to F Zero GX which is a game that came out last year.Where do I start?Oh the graphics.I happen to think that they are better than the ones in the SNES classic which came out in 91 but obviously not as good as the graphics in F Zero X or F Zero GX.Yeah I know F Zero X got a lot of complaints about it not being detailed enough but when you think about it the graphics were just really colorful and had some scenery that really stood out like the skull in Devils Forest,the statue in Big Hand or the space station in Big Blue.I still think the graphics in this game really look good for a portable system.Yeah they may not be gorgeous as the ones in Metroid Zero Mission but to me they still look great.And now for the controls.They are everything youd expect and want from an F Zero game.Really good and easy to use.The game really gets easier when you find out that you cant just hold the A button down at all times you have to repeatedly tap it.And it also easier when you get used to the fast paced speed and sort of memorize the tracks which is easy for me cause I have like a photographic memory.And for the hovercraft.You dont get to unlock as many vehicles as you did in F Zero X or F Zero GX but that doesnt matter.It admittedly loses a little replay value after you unlock all the cars but if replay value just means that it keeps you coming back for more then this game has great replay value.Yep this is one of the best if not the best racing game for the GBA because its one you will definitely want to play again.

    4-0 out of 5 stars decent racing game
    this game is a good racing game compared to super mario super circuit. This is mainly because u hav better control and u can get more speed and not go as slow as a turtle. Racing fans will like this game, the only flaw is the music, it gets kind of annoying sometimes but it's alright.

    4-0 out of 5 stars A little disappointing but still great.
    F Zero X was one of my favorite games on the Nintendo 64 so I was absolutely thrilled to hear that there was an F Zero game coming out for the Game Boy Advance and while it wasnt exactly what I was expecting it was still a great game.I think that the people that were disappointed in this game were the people who are addicted to F Zero X for the N64 and F Zero GX for the Nintendo Game Cube.In this game you dont drive on cylinders or over tubes but it is still fun.I think a lot of people were hoping it would look like F Zero X but the GBA is only 32 bit so they shouldnt have expected it to look like that.I think the graphics look absolutely great for a 32 bit system and the speed is extremely fast.You have to have good reflexes to play a game like this.Fortunately it gets easier the more you practice.When you memorize the tracks it becomes pretty easy and the game is true to the original F Zero on the Super Nintendo.So I say to you before you buy this game expect tracks like the ones in the SNES original and not like the newer games. ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars 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.

    4-0 out of 5 stars 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?

    4-0 out of 5 stars 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!!

    5-0 out of 5 stars 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

    5-0 out of 5 stars 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

    4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent game
    Definitely one of the best flight/action games out there.I've always been a fan of the NES version from way back in the day.While this one isn't quite as much fun to refuel or land, the action is great.The missions are difficult enough but not impossible, although the most challenging thing seems to be not 'running into' the sides of mountains or buildings.Controls are pretty easy to master once you get the hang of it.Definitely a good buy.

    2-0 out of 5 stars Little replay value
    This is a 2D side scroller that's easy to beat, hence little replay value.Basically you use tricks to outclass your rivals.Rent it if you must try it.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Fun, but too easy
    I think this game is really fun, and very colorful, shows off the system nicely. This installment of the Motocross Maniacs series has a few new tricks, and some great looking new levels, but lacks the level of competitiveness of the old version. I still have the black and white original, and it is more fun to play over and over than this version. This game is just TOO easy.... I beat it in about an hour, and because I trounce the competition so easily, I don't really want to play it again. If you have young kids, this is a great game, they will like it and not get too frustrated. Otherwise, try Mario Kart if you like racing.I would have given it less stars if it hadn't been really fun the one time I played it. ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars THIS GAME IS THE BEST GAME TO BE EVER PLAYED ON THE GBA!!!!!
    COLIN MCRAE 2.0 FOR THE GBA IS THE FINEST VIDEO GAME TO BE PLAYED ON THE GBA. O.K. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS PLAYING IT ON THE CONSOLE BUT IT IS THE CLOSEST YOU WILL EVER GET. THE GRAPHICS ARN'T PERFECT, BUT THE GAMEPLAY WILL COMMAND OVER ANY GRAPHICS. FIRST OFF, IT USE A 3D ENGINE IN STED OF SPITES, WHICH GIVES THE CAR MOVEMENTS A HUGE BUST. MEANING IT PAYS CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SUSPENTION AND THE CAR WILL WOBBLE LIKE IN REAL RALLY RACING. THE CAR ALSO GETS DIRTIER, THATS AN AWSOME FEATURE, AND BEFORE AND AFTER A RACE, YOUR CAR WILL HAVE TO GO IN FOR REPAIRS DO TO WHETHER CONDITIONS AND DAMAGE. OVER ALL I GIVE IT TEN STARS.

    5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent port of the best rally game ever.
    The Playstation version of this title is easily the best rally game ever, and this is a faithful port. Graphics push the Game Boy Advance to the limit, and there are some great weather effects. There are plenty or curcuits to choose from, and they all look and play fairly different. It definetely feels like a rally game, as using the handbrake to drift through corners is required. But still, there is not a more addictive racing game on the market. If you own a Game Boy Advance, this is the DEFINITIVE racing game.

    5-0 out of 5 stars McRae Rocks!
    This is definately the best racing game on GBA yet.

    You start the game with 5 cars to choose from (you are awarded more as you progress). The cars are rendered in real 3D. This means that they rock and roll as you drive: You can really feel the weight behind them!

    You can tweak the car at each 'service area'. So, you can repair any damage, change suspension, brakes, gears - you name it, you can tweak it.

    There are over 40 tracks, each of them quite lengthy.

    The sound is great, the engine noises perfect. As if this wasn't enough Colin McRae's real life co-driver calls the turns as you drive.

    The best things is that you can play up to 4 players from 1 cartridge. There are 2 ways to do this: with the gamelink cable in arcade mode, or by taking turns in ANY game mode.

    This title will keep you coming back for months. ... Read more

    the graphics of this game r very good, better than i expected. i felt hard to control the car at first but when i master it, it become fun to play. if u like racing games, this game is for u. the only negative thing of this game is the road is too narrow. so i hate to race with computer's control cars. becuz 4 cars always crashing each other. and i couldn't get through them. but other than this, everything is perfect.

    5-0 out of 5 stars WOW!Best 3D engine yet ..
    If you are looking for a great racing/rally title for the Gameboy Advance, this would be it.

    Unlike many GBA titles, V-Rally 3 does not make use of a flat, rotating 2D image.V-Rally 3 features one of the most advanced engines I have seen yet on the GBA.V-Rally's engine is in full 3D: vast hills, blind corners, jumps, bridges, and canyons that tower above you -- all at a peppy 30fps.Impress your friends.

    This title also has gameplay too.Choose various production cars, sign contracts, win rallys, time trial, race other cars or go solo.With multiple cartridges, you can race your friends.

    Between various events you will be given various weather conditions and road surface types.You are given the ability to select tires, change gearing, modify the suspension, etc.

    Take that corner too hard?Crashed into the wall?Damage will add up, and you will be given a certain amount of time to repair various items between events.But be careful -- you may not be able to repair all of your damage at once if it becomes too severe.

    This is one of the most impressive GBA games I have seen to date.Get your copy today! ... Read more

    Amazon.com Review

    Iridion 3D is reminiscent of arcade shooters such asGalaga or Gradius, except that Iridion is done inover-the-shoulder third-person 3-D. The problem is that thisperspective really, really hurts the gameplay. One can only wonder howmuch better Iridion 3D might have been had the developers chosena more workable point of view.

    Your ship sometimes blocks your sightline as you shoot, and it'sextremely difficult to accurately gauge distance and depth perception.Is that a small enemy that's close to my ship (maybe even about tocollide with it), or is it a large one that's farther away? Are theyshooting at me or are those "shots" actually distant ships? Are thoseenemies or part of the tunnel scenery? Another problem is the jerkycontrol. If you're flying through a tunnel trying to kill the bad guys,you should be able to literally fly in circles. With the Game BoyAdvance directional pad, squares are about all you can manage.

    At least the game is extremely pretty to look at. Iridion 3Dboasts one of the best graphics engines available for the Game BoyAdvance, and considering the competition, that's no idle compliment.Progressing through the stages and worlds one is bombarded withbeautiful scenery almost as much as enemy fire.

    Yes, the game looks spectacular, and it will partially appease arcadeshooter fans waiting for Game Boy Advance conversions of classics suchas R-Type and the aforementioned coin-ops. It's just tooimportant to see what you're doing in a game of this type to recommendthe title to anyone but the most hard-core fans of the genre.--Andrew S. Bub

    Pros:

    • Gorgeous graphics and explosions
    Cons:
    • Your ship blocks your view
    • It's difficult to accurately gauge depth and distance
    • The controls aren't well suited to this style of play

    1-0 out of 5 stars One flaming piece o' crap comeing right up!
    If you buy this game your basicly getting ready to buy well, a flaming piece of crap! Although it may sound rude stareing at burning poop is more fun because you might catch on fire ohhh how exciteing. The only thing this game has going for it is graphics. Its not fun you shot at spinning dots for goodness sake! Ill go threw everything in the game and youll see why it sucks so so much

    Gameplay 1/10: The game play is painfully bad. There is no saveing system you have to wright down a 'password' witch you get after beating a boss at the end of the level and of course in bad taste loseing to the boss causes you start all over. Also the game is incredibly difficult often takeing 10 or more trys to beat the first level!! Also you have no enemys really in the first level you shoot at spinning dots that change colors what the heck is that!!?? It takes about 2 mintues to die and start all over, gahhh!

    Graphics/Music: 8/10 The music is pretty dang annoying but the graphics are very good especcialy for a gameboy. Of course the graphics are dark makeing it hard to see alot of times wow another mistake but theres no surprises there

    Fun factor: 0/10 Yes the dreaded zero. Why do i give it zero, well its not a fun game at all not one bit. It feels like you are forceing your self to play it and since its so hard if you want to beat it youll be throwing it at your wall and screaming "Why the heck did i waste my money on THIS!" No wonder it comes free when you buy game boy advances.... Anyone who plays this most likely is forceing them selves to do it or are programers forced to play it.

    Storyline: 3/10 The story line is pitiful but at least they tried. And its best jet fighter games dont have storylines no matter what. If its a airplaine fight game its goona suck in the storyline department so dont hold it against the makers.

    All in all I think this game is painfully bad and the only good thing about it is its graphics witch simply do not make up a game. I cant believe any company made this much less nintendo. Dont waste your money on this spend it on something else theres so many better games then this, this flaming piece of crap!

    4-0 out of 5 stars A giant piece of CRAP!
    This game is hidous an absoulte diaster i dont know HOW it could get any worse let me just begin

    Pros:
    Good graphics
    Good sound
    Fairly good controls

    Cons:
    Heres were you see alot of things listed

    You cant save you have to get past a point in the game to get a password to wright down and type in every time thats kinda bad

    It takes like 3mins to die and you have to start the level all over again.

    Theres NOTHING to do in it i mean all you do is press left and right and the A button thats right nothing else they could have at least used more than three controls. And also all you do is move left and right and shoot a simple things like garabage or some fan that is somehow floating in the middle of no where.

    And lastly, its hard to hard it can take you awhile to just beat a level thats frustarting!

    Over all sound and graphics dont make a game what it is so this game sucks dont getit inless you wish to be tourted itll save you 20 bucks to! So if i could give it 0 stars i would. Its a waste of space just to own

    1-0 out of 5 stars More fun than... Nothing
    I got Iridion 3D from amazon.com the other day ..., and thought I'd post a little review of it.

    In short for the skimmers, I'm having more fun writing this review than I did playing the game.

    The story of the game goes something like this:

    Show picture of city
    Show picture of battleship
    Show 1, no... 2, no.... 3!! blips on a radar screen
    Show distressed guy in control room
    Show city again
    Show UFO over city!
    Show 3 evil space ships shooting city!
    Show two buildings of the city on fire!!

    Yes, that is literally how the introduction cinematic plays out, scene by scene. But before you see that, you watch 20 seconds of logos by the companies that made the game (they are non-skippable of course).

    After that you are given a menu with a couple of options:

    Start
    Options
    Password

    Yes, that's right, the game has no memory at all. It doesn't save your options settings, and it doesn't save your progress in the levels. When you complete a level you are given a 9 digit code to write down in order to start the game from that level in the future. Amazingly, when you turn the game off and on again, that code still works, so it is obviously hard-coded into the game. But who is going to carry around a pad of paper with them so they can "save" and "load" their game? This may have been acceptable back in the days of the NES when you sat at home and could actually write down numbers, but the GBA is a portable game machine.

    So after you press start or enter your password to start where you left off, you enter a level. The level names are quite creative... here are a few of them:

    Dogfight above the Ocean
    Air Combat above the Clouds
    Escape through the Disposal tunnel

    Yes, those are the real names of the levels. I think they fit in nicely with the storyline, don't you?

    Upon entering a level, you begin moving forwards through the tunnel or over the ocean or above the clouds. You hold down the A button to start shooting, then you move up, down, left and right randomly. Repeat until you finish the game.

    By holding the A button down, you reach the maximum firing rate of your ship. You don't even have to tap the shoot button really fast to shoot faster. Just holding down the A button is as fast as you can get. Then you move around, trying not to get shot by the other ships. The only problem with this is, your ship is so big and the angle so wrong, you can't even see the bullets that are coming at you half the time. In order to shoot an enemy ship, you have to position your own ship directly in front of them because of the perspective of the game, but in doing this, you completely block the enemy ship out of view and can't tell if you are hitting him or not, or if he is shooting at you. After 30 seconds of this, you quickly realize that it isn't worth it to try and shoot the other ships, so you just start hiding in a corner of the screen so you can actually see the bullets before they hit you.

    However, this raises another problem. The field of depth in the game is completely wrong, and it is quite nearly impossible to tell when a bullet is about to hit you. When a bullet looks it is 300 "game feet" away from you, it is actually about 2 feet in front of your ship, and is about to hit you. Plus because your ship is so big, you don't even see half the bullets before they hit you.

    Needless to say, this all makes the game terribly unfun to play, because you really have no way of avoiding a bullet that you can't see, or that looks like it should not hit you for another 2 seconds.

    The boss battles are a little more varied, but still revolve around you trying to dodge their bullets while strafing back and forth enough to hit them until they die. But at least they are different, and allow you to see a few more visual tricks and treats.

    The game is actually pretty easy once you realize that you should just focus on dodging bullets rather than trying to shoot at anything. I got to the 4th level out of 7 in less than 10 minutes. Sadly I don't think I will beat the game, because it is simply too boring to waste time on.

    The one good thing I can comment on about the game is the graphics. They really are quite amazing for a GBA game, especially considering it was a launch title. The framerates are extremely smooth, and the graphics, though they are all 2D bitmaps, really give an excellent illusion of being 3D. Each level is unique, and matches the level description perfectly (Air combat above the clouds, for example).

    Overall this is easily the worst GBA game I have played, and I would not recommend it to anyone. If I had payed any more than the [$$] I paid for it, I would consider suing the company that designed it to get my 10 minutes back.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Its not Bad, Not Bad at all.
    This game is not bad! I bought this game because it was 5 bucks and my expectations were low. This game is fun!!! its not one your going to play nonstop on a plane to antartica, however. The game has obvious flaws, but it still fun for at least 5 or 6 hours. The major Problem is the password save. Also, it is very rare when the ship blocks your view, it happens like, once a level. For 5 dollars this game is a steal and you should buy it. (P.S- Come to E3 some time because ti is soooooo much fun.)
    P.S #2- Final Fantasy Rocks- Go Squall!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Fun and Hard at first
    I give this game about 4.2. Its hard at first and then gets to be a bit fun to play. ... Read more

    2-0 out of 5 stars THIS REALLY ISNT THAT GREAT
    I DONT LIKE THIS GAME IT IS BORING

    3-0 out of 5 stars To Buy... Or Not To Buy.... That is the Question
    This game if not very a very good single player.The graphics are somewhat like Mario Cart Super Circuit but just do not seem as good.The tracks seem intersting and maybe if the person buying it was younger(6-10 years old) and liked Shrek more... maybe they would enjoy this game more than the older gamers (11-14 years old... Its price is reasonable but it the racers are tiny and are sometimes difficult to see without squinting. This toy is not very educational because all it shows you is how to handle a GBA... Also ALL GBA Games are durable (they do not break as easy) so that is why i gave it 5 StArs-*~ Overall I did not really like this game but it is your own choice.It basically depends on the audience.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Fun Multiplayer, mediocre single player
    Let me begin by saying description of this game being only 1 and 2 player is wrong. I have played this game with 4 of my friends, and the multiplayer modes are a lot of fun (Knight's Tournament, and Parfait Getaway more so than Race). It is ashame that the single player mode was not as good. However, there are some interesting levels. If I were younger, I probably would have enjoyed this game a bit more.

    1-0 out of 5 stars The only thing that is Shrek like is that the game stinks
    Simply awful: lousy graphics, sound and gameplay.Imitates Mario Kart (same game strucutre) and does it badly.Do not buy play or look at.

    1-0 out of 5 stars I don't think so!
    The second that I saw this game, I said "This can't be good." I tried a demo version of it and it [was bad]. An easy way to explain this game is a bad Mario Kart with ugly racers (sorry Shrek) and badly designed courses. I'm begging, can they please make a GOOD Shrek game! It was such a great movie, but all the games are so bad. It just doesn't make sense! So, stay away from ALL Shrek games, but get the DVD or VHS because it is a great movie. ... Read more

    1-0 out of 5 stars This game is a gimmick!!!!
    The levels are SO HARD to beat! The graphics are awful! It's the worst GBA game I have! It's a big gimmick! Don't make the same mistake that I have made!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Lego Racers 2 rocks!
    It is a really fun game. It is hard and chalenging but has neat things to do. You can build you own car, explore, go to neat places with good graphics, such as, Alaska, Mars. And if you do well you will beable to go to the Galactic Dome, where you wil find, see through loops big jumps,and a great racer! There will be able to become the best racer ever! I think that if you like challenging games that are really great, this is the game for you!!!!!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Not Great
    The game LEGO Racers 2 is not a great game it is really hard, because you have to race a lot and you have to drive with your thumb and it is to hard to get bricks. If I were you I would not buy it but you should read the other reviews unless you already did.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Leog Racers 2 is fun.
    This was my first GBA game for me. I am normally not good at games so I ask my self is it just me or is this game hard? I sya it is just me. The object is to collect bricks to get closer to the Racing Championship(I forgot what it is called so I picked this name. You need to collect enough bricks to go to the next level. Tired of doing a racing season? There are also arcade games. This game is good to any lego fan.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Lego Racers II
    This is a racing game by the people at Lego.It is a dark game, not sinister, but dark as in hard to see.It has many different options.All over the box and in the instruction manual it touts the multiplayer possibilities.Nowhere does it say that more than one cartridge is required, but I have come to the conclusion that each player must have a cartridge.It claims up to four people can play, I wouldn't know, we only own one cartridge.It has many mini-games and bonus games.Some requiring trips back to 'base.'These would be much easier to play if 'base' was distinguishable from everything else on the map.The game has a story mode similar to the original.You have to beat tracks to unlock new tracks.These new tracks then become available in the mini-games and bonus games.The game even has weather effects.It can provide lots of entertainment for one person with superior lighting.It would be much more fun if just some of the games were available to multiple players with just one cartridge required.Had I known of these drawbacks prior to purchasing, I probably would NOT have bought this game. ...
