    Not bad for the game boy advance and felt unique compared to average platformers would have been nicer with a save feature though.

    Around the World in 80 Days isn't horrible, but it gets boring fairly quickly with the poor enemy design and the story is told poorly. That being said the graphics are good and the controls are tight.

    There aren't any two player options and the main game is remarkably short. There isn't anything to make you want to play Around The World In 80 Days again, particularly not the tedious and often frustrating gameplay.
  2. Given the limits of the system, I believe 80 Days acquits itself very well in the pantheon of GBA games, It doesn't stick out for any one feature, it is a bland, competent entry in the 2-D side scrolling action adventure group.

    Responsive control helps make the game an enjoyable play. [Oct 2004, p.124]
