An especially well constructed title, with plenty of modes of play to satisfy all but the most insane.

Be it from talking to characters to fulfilling the needs, however without the ability to make money and build larger houses, and the distinctive lack of a variety of furniture this open-ended gameplay quickly wears thin, even making the whole thing less open-ended in practice than in theory.

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.

The levels are well designed, and the placement of enemies and their movement paths add to the difficulty, and unless you live in a sunny location, Boktai will prove to be more challenging than other adventure games.

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.

Simply the best the GBA has offered so far. With an engaging plot, a deep gameplay system that allows for as much customisation as any handheld RPG, and a length that is ridiculously good value, there really is no excuse not to own this game.

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.

Keeping in mind that this is the kind of game with value that comes from being a fun game to return to time and again and not as in a huge adventure that should be played straight through.

Gameplay is the core of this title, resulting in fantastic replay value, only if you do not mind the fact that not much has changed from its predecessor. Due to the lack of new modes of play and new units, Advance Wars 1.5 would have been a more accurate title.

The biggest downfall for the game however, is that it tried hard to incorporate the best elements from other highlight examples of the genre, and in doing so, suffers the same fate as most homages - it simply doesn’t have the same depth or natural “feel” of the originals.

The adventure is long, involving, challenging and presented to perfection with beautiful graphics and a stunning soundtrack.

What an adventure it is! If you have the patience to explore, talk, and don’t mind a slow paced game, this will probably be one of you favorite GBA games so far.
