    This game has no difficult but impossible. The point of the game is smash your Game-boy Advance to pieces. The graphics are terrible and look grotesquely ugly and the controls are frustrating. The 4 positive critics are really gone out of there minds.

    This game is terrible, and VERY VERY crappy! Why? I bet it is that remake of E.T. S**t released for the Atari 2600. Please do not buy this crap at all costs. Buy Super Mario 3D World instead.

    Let me just start with the history of this game.You've all heard of the Atari 2600? Well, when it was released for it, it brought... 1. The fall of the Atari 2600. 2. More copies than actual consoles of Atari 2600 sold. 3. Left 500,000,0 copies of E.T unsold by the company. This lead to the company forking over more cash to buy a piece of New Mexico Desert land, and buried the unsold Let me just start with the history of this game.You've all heard of the Atari 2600?

In conclusion, take no notice of this game, even in Gba, because you might be going to dig it up.… Expand

    This game literally crashed the industry. Not to mention, the graphics are terrible, the game is impossible, and Atari literally bought an island to bury this disgrace.

    (Reviewing the Atari 2600 game) E.T. is a piece of crap. It is considered the worst game ever. The graphics are awful even for the 1980s. The controls are inverted. There are so many holes. There were even so many copies buried in the New Mexico Desert. Avoid this game at ALL COSTS!!

    Easily the best video game of all time. The controls are smooth and the gameplay is just fantastic. Very creative, amazing graphics, just an overall strong and lovely game.

    Just kidding it quite possibly the worst game in existence and all that was said above is the complete opposite.

    What a HORRIBLE game! E.T. literally caused the video game crash of 1983 with one horrible game! Never play this garbage unless you want to see how terrible it is. If you say it's good, why? E.T's one of the worst video games ever!

    This game changed my life. It is the best ever. As a globe, I have played this in every single country, and I can confirm that it is best played in New Zealand and Grenada. I love E.T. I recommend it over any modern games. Breath of the Wild, Call of Duty, Halo, - none of them compare to the grace an beauty of E.T. for the Nintendo GameBoy Advance.

    A delightful little game with solid graphical elements and difficulty levels that will challenge most players.

    This is definitely one to stop the E.T. obsessed kids screaming, but no game for a grown up.

    For older gamers, E.T. offers little to phone home about. [May 2002, p.142]
