    Grand Theft Auto
    The missions, characters, expansive city environment, sound and graphics all pull together to create an enjoyable experience. The game is, however, filled with minor flaws, and the camera causes frustration. With a weak story and minor technical faults Grand Theft Auto Advance was never going to be more than just a fun game.

    Banjo-Pilot
    Easily one of the best racers to have been released during the Game Boy Advance's life. It races well, it's fun while it lasts, and it's pretty to boot.

    The Lord of the Rings, The Third Age
    Comparable in many ways to Fire Emblem, The Third Age betters it in many ways, offering a more in-depth character management system, deeper tactical options and a greater variety in mission objectives.

    The Hobbit
    For children the Hobbit offers hours of fun with easy to learn controls and simple puzzles, as for adults the game can become slightly condescending with its simplicity.

    Onimusha Tactics
    The gameplay is extremely budgeted on strategy, and presents no innovative elements to the genre.

    Disney's The Lion King 1 1/2
    The bottom line is that the title caters more to children than does to adults and it presents some great fun for any child. If you are in need of a challenge and something different, The Lion King 1½ may not satisfy.

    Disney's Magical Quest 2 Starring Mickey and Minnie
    The lack of variety, depth, length and innovation will leave much to be desired.
    • 63 Metascore

    Shark Tale
    Shark Tale thrives on its variety and doesn't disappoint.
    • 62 Metascore

    Mario Pinball Land
    A great looking and great sounding game, one of the most impressive on the GBA. The frustrating lack of control, screen-resets and small number of levels put a nasty dent in its play value.

    SimCity 2000
    The overwhelming dryness of this style of game, along with the portability issues that hang over it like a rather nasty storm mean that this game is best left to the PC if at all possible, which is a far better platform for the amazing depth, strategy and variety that this game offers.

    Payback
    The camera can be gotten used to, but in all honesty, the fact that you have to get used to it is a real downer.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Power Rangers Ninja Storm
    It’s next to impossible to recommend Power Rangers: Ninja Storm to anyone but young fans of the T.V show. It’s simplistic, easy, and relatively short.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem
    The ghost-capturing aspect of the gameplay is fun at first, but due to the lack of variety in the gameplay objectives it soon becomes very tired and repetitive, much like the rest of the game.

    kill.switch
    It is an entertaining espionage action game that suffers from some bad glitches and difficult controls.
