A superb-looking, straightforward platformer that no interested GBA gamer should miss.

A breathtaking experience. From the inimitable graphics to the hypnotically addictive gameplay, it’s captivating on every level.

At the plate, the cursor-assisted hitting is solid, but base-running can be a button-pressing adventure with multiple runners on the bags.

The same frustrating, albeit unique controls remain intact—resulting in the same inconsistent shot making that was felt last year.

Pac-Land has never looked better, cartoonishly but lushly rendered, and full of bright colors and crisp 3D objects.

Despite the nice presentation, there just isn’t very much to do compared with Nintendo’s genre-defining fighter [Super Smash Bros].

A no-holds-barred chariot racer full of originality and pee-in-your-pants combat.

And let’s not forget the "What th-?!" reaction you'll have when you complete the fourth level and the game’s credits start rolling!

Transcending PaRappa, this Japanese import combines innovative control with a hot soundtrack for a frustrating yet addictive experience.

One of the better 'toon-to-game adaptations you're likely to find.

You can see everything the game has to offer in an hour or two, and similarly, the two-player split-screen mode gets boring very quickly.

If FIFA isn't quite realistic enough for your taste, WTS should scratch your soccer itch with its tight, sim-style gameplay and solid lineup of features, which includes custom teams, season play, the World Cup, and a variety of other cups.

It was hard enough to put the game down long enough to write this review, if that tells you anything. Pirates might lack graphical “oomph,” but it’s fun.

New Legends could go down as one of the best bad games ever made.

Street’s sensational gameplay deftly combines competitive hoops and slick moves and dunks without delving into the realm of Jam’s absurd acrobatics.

The controls, while exhaustive in their scope, suffer from too much complexity, and skating and checking never quite feel right.

A very fun game whose premise wears thin a bit too fast. However, you’ll have a blast with it before you reach the saturation point.

Raw has all the pomp and circumstance of the WWF without all the good gameplay and fun that drove older WWF titles.

Half of High Heat 2003's thrills come from its intuitive, playable controls. Fielding and baserunning are a snap (though manual slides would have rocked), and the pitching/batting setup is one of the best ever.

The challenging action platformer fans have been waiting for, but it's not too tough for newcomers. Excellent. [March 2002, p.94]

It's a must-have for the Game Boy Advance, and proof positive that great game design transcends technology and time.

The addition of an Impact Player, who can be reassigned on the fly, offers more user control and can entirely change the flow of a play.
