    With a gripping story, slick battle sequence, superior graphics, and a set of good tunes to boot, Golden Sun is a total package.

    The best GBA game so far, and it'll keep you busy for a long time.

    But what about all those who can't get online? Sadly you're out of luck, because the single player is fairly repetitive and the cheap computer players don't help it.

    Whether in battle or just the game world itself this is my favourite game of the year on any system.

    Dual Strike has a lot to offer, and it looks and sounds better than ever. The game has the same traditional look as before but from a more isotopic perspective, which gives a nice 3D sppearance.

    The game plays perfectly, just like the original. However, that is the problem. The game has nothing new, nothing different, nothing innovative, and nothing that changes the gameplay from original except the targeting computer, which you are penalized for using!!

    The only aspect of this game that can be considered negative is the repetition - once all five pikmin types are unlocked there is very little in the way of variation - but the game is easily enough fun to obscure this fact.

    The only real knock against it is its length. Coming in at four hours just does not cut it. There are multiple endings the higher the completion percentage, and the original Metroid for comparisons sake, but the brevity of the adventure hurts an otherwise great title.

    The only real problem I had with the game is one you have to push "A" 71 consecutive times to pull that many Pikmin out of the ground, and with only 30 days this gets time consuming.

    The multiplayer will ensure you and your friends will have as much fun with Underground as you did with previous games, and the single-player is a different experience even though the story is sub-par.

    I absolutely worship the Green Plant: Intersection level. For that level alone this game is worth it.

    With a wonderful mix of Four Swords style gameplay and a Wind Waker feel, the game takes a little something from everything and still manages to improve on it.

    The option is a huge part of college football, and Tiburon has done an extraordinary job of replicating it in NCAA Football.

    It seems Konami could have made better use of the touch screen feature on the DS, and also taken a few more liberties with innovative game play.

    The best arcade racing experience available on the GameCube. If your a fan of the first than this is a must buy.

    From my perspective, I prefer the original on the sole basis of storyline, because it provides for a greater variety of enemy CO's and aids in creating a close bond with your own CO's. Either way, it's still a great game and is co-owner of the crown when it comes to "Best Game Boy Advance game."

    Trying to describe why this game is fun, why the challenge of playing these games, which alone are stupid and even moronic, but together mesh so well and are fun, is not easy.

    The gaming community is rarely treated to a gaming spectacle that excels so elegantly as Splinter Cell.

    The sound in DKR is fantastic. The characters make noises, the cars make noises, and the music fits in perfectly.

    It features nice graphics, wonderful sound, addictive gameplay, and a lot of replay value.

    I love Meteos. I didn't think a puzzle game would ever burn itself into my retinas to the degree Tetris did, but I was wrong. I find myself waking up and dreaming of rockets blasting off or lining up three different colored tiles on floors while I walk. It's a disease, but it's one that I'm glad I paid for the privilege to catch.

    This game is the shiznit. It’s the best game on the Game Boy Advance.

    Moving and controlling Wario is very simple, and very fun.

    Tops the original in terms of intuitive gameplay, graphics and sound... but the basic formula hasn't changed a bit. Which is good, it probably doesn't need to be changed.

    Aggressive Inline literally has become my favorite extreme sports game to date.

    It is a game with flaws but it is an infinitely better game that "FFTA" is and yet still miles away from achieving the perfection that is "Advance Wars 2." That being said, I love this game, and I honestly cannot wait to see further installments.

    I found the replay value to be a little too shallow for my liking. I need a game that pulls me into its world and keeps me there.

    A very, very good game and definitely worth a purchase. It's just a disappointment compared to the sheer greatness that was "Circle of the Moon."

    Just a little too similar to "Tactics Ogre." The fights got a little too mundane and boring. Perhaps it's because I spent so much time with Ogre that I grew bored of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance quicker. That's not to say that Final Fantasy Tactics Advance isn't worth every penny, because it is.

    I couldnĂ­t help to think this was what "Star Fox" should have been. In a genre which is getting drabber and more predictable by the day, Beyond Good & Evil has done what "Ratchet and Clank" did with the platforming genre and revitalized it.
