    The best platformer currently available for the GBA; Ubisoft beat Mario at his own game... for now.

    Looking good doesn’t hurt the game, but it’s RA’s accessibility that makes it a game that every fan of platform gaming should have. There’s a sense of fun about RA.

    This port of the PlayStation classic is easily the most beautiful looking game in the GBA launch lineup, with huge, colorful, and astonishingly well-animated characters and backgrounds.

    It offers solid platform-based gameplay and a good deal of enjoyment for those patient enough to reap its rewards.

One of the launch titles for the Gameboy Advance, this game truly demonstrates what the system is capable of. The enviroments are lush and beautiful, character animtions are fluid and stunning, the gameplay is difficult, but it has that "I can do it" feeling to it.

I was2021 Update: This is not a very good version of the game. It's just OK. The screen crunch is what really kills this version of the game. I was use to it as a kid, but not today. It is technically easier than the PS1 version, but the screen crunch makes it harder in an unfair way. Luckily there are cheats for the game to see it all without having to go through hell with how the game is. But overall, there are better versions of the game.

    This is fun, but boy, is it hard. This version is almost as hard as the PS1 version. I feel like it would be better if the game's difficulty was toned down a bit. It's decent for on the go, though I would recommend the DSi version, due to it being a lot easier.    … Expand
