    I can’t recommend this game enough. The GBA does not have too many great games, but add this one to the list. If you own a GBA and do not purchase this game after reading this review, it’s your loss.

    An incredibly tight arcade-style racer. It's fast-paced with tight controls and a decent graphics engine.
  3. The game offers numerous options, it has a ton of cars and all of the tracks from the rally circuit, and it looks good for a handheld game.

    The improved racer adds hills and dips to the 40-plus rally courses, as well as a much-needed save feature. [Aug 2002, p.146]
  5. While the game definitely is top notch, there are a few areas that could still use a little bit of tightening in order for it to really stand out.

    I like 'em fast and furious, not fast and frustrating. That being said, I fell in love with GT Advance 2 almost from the very beginning.

It's really short and the graphics aren't great either, but it'll keep you entertained for a bit. Does it break much from the norm? Not really, but it was a nice little side game for a while, and I definitely enjoyed playing it. The save system is really weird, you need to manually load your game from the menus, but after you figure it out it shouldn't be too problematic. Would I pay much for it? No, but if you come across it cheap at a yard sale or something, maybe you should give it a try. Full Review »
