Not only the best brawler on the GBA, but one of the best brawlers period. Ther's no reason not to add this game to your collection. [Spring 2004, p.39]

At half the price it would be a must own. [Spring 2005, p.63]

With eight character classes the possibilities for multiplayer and replay are endless. [Summer 2004, p.41]

Although things can get tedious, it's a solid mix of adventuring and action. [Winter 2001, p.55]

A short game that's fun while it lasts. Fans will appreciate the Brosnan and Dench-inspired character portraits. [Spring 2004, p.42]

A fun, lighthearted romp that expands on an arcade classic instead of spoiling it. [Spring 2002, p.39]

The levels are really fun - if you can get poast the slightly troublesome controls. Stick with it. [Winter 2001, p.54]

This isn't the most unique racing game ever, but it proves that honest to goodness 3D is possible on the GBA. [Fall 2003, p.47]

A competent, challenging platformer that fans of the character will get the most out of, thanks to Wolverine's coolness. [Summer 2003, p.37]

There are better portable RPGs on the market, but this stroll down memory lane will keep you busy. [Spring 2004, p.34]

Comfortable controls and a refined presentation see featured switch-flipping, mushroom-hopping, pumpkin and peasant-bopping antics delight, despite the fact that they're hardly original. [Summer 2004, p.41]

A must-own title for fans of the cartoon and a strong buy for fans of strategy games in general. [Summer 2003, p.52]

The sheer amount of variety makes up for the game's simple design, and the story is positively adorable. [Summer 2003, p.41]

The levels have too few checkpoints - die mid-way through, and you'll usually go all the way bck to the beginning. [Winter 2002, p.46]

Great controls, graphics, sound and side characters - some of whom you can play in a variety of mini-game - round out a well-designed package. [Fall 2003, p.54]

It doesn't stay exciting for long, but the puzzles are tough to pry yourself away from. [Summer 2003, p.50]

Just. Plain. Cool. [Summer 2004, p.35]

The perfect solution for gamers who play for half-an-hour at a crack. Just don't come looking for a lot of depth here. [Spring 2003, p.32]

A mixed bag. [Spring 2003, p.29]

For portable action it works, but this isn't the type of game that should get a GBA makeover. Try before you buy. [Fall 2003, p.49]

If you're craving a good fighter, you can't go wrong here. Gekido is the most visually impressive GBA game yet. [Fall 2003, p.46]

Really appeals to players' sense of nostalgia, but together the four titles can still hang with today's crowd. [Summer 2003, p.47]

It isn't quite as addictive as some of the others. [Spring 2002, p.43]

A solid golf sim that will no doubt stand the test of time. Oh - and nice pants, man! [Winter 2001, p.52]

A good entry point into the tactical espionage genre, but it isn't as detailed as it ought to be. [Summer 2003, p.51]

Fast, fun, and impossible to put down. [Summer 2003, p.33]

If you're a fan of the trading card game, you should find this enjoyable enough for practice or when no opponents are around. [Summer 2004, p.28]

Stuffed with enough game modes and options to make many console fighting games jealous. [Spring 2004, p.46]

Graphicall, this is an absolute treat as it combines Disney flair with 3D cameras and typical Konami polish. [Summer 2003, p.40]

Blasting apart robots and thrashing pirates is awesome, but the game is wicked short at just eight levels. [Summer 2003, p.50]

It does get a bit repetitive as the game goes on. [Spring 2005, p.70]

As engrossing as it is nerve-wracking, the game could've been great. Instead, it'll just have you sweating - and dodging - bullets. [Summer 2004, p.32]

One of the game's best traits is its open-ended nature. [Summer 2003, p.70]

By far one of the wackiest, most bizarre games out there, and it rocks. [Winter 2002, p.47]

Pure, unadulterated, giggle yourself senseless fun. [Summer 2004, p.15]

Flawed from the get go, this technically crippled game tries to incorporate many play styles and succeeds at mastering none. [Summer 2003, p.42]

A game many will be surprised to be on this list, but it happens to be one of the best. [Summer 2004, p.15]

The tiny cars flicker badly, and every course is completely flat, so they all race virtually the same. [Spring 2002, p.41]

Little more than an endless procession of switches. [Spring 2003, p.40]

Good for a generic game but disappointing for Pitfall. Harry deserves better. [Summer 2004, p.38]

Not the most addictive game in the world, but pretty damn addictive. [Winter 2001, p.53]

Some games just can't be done justice on a hand-held system, and this is one of them. [Winter 2003, p.34]

Surprisingly realistic for a hand-held video game. [Summer 2002, p.34]

EA tries to innovate with their first DS golf game, the end result is double bogey with a penalty shot. [Spring 2005, p.63]

The main problem with this game, though, is that the developers don't know Jack. [Summer 2003, p.46]

A decent but extremely easy sequel to a classic. [Spring 2004, p.39]

The controls work well even with the GBA's four-button layout, and most tricks come out smoothly onscreen. [Spring 2004, p.47]

If you can look past the ugly visuals, grab a friend and tacked this revamped classic in Cooperative mode (but skip the dull four-man face-off). [Spring 2003, p.29]

Decent for casual players or die-hard fans of "Star Wars," but not for someone looking for deep gameplay. [Spring 2003, p.39]

Like it or not, this is an old game, and the play mechanics are archaic by today's standards. [Winter 2002, p.36]

A very solid, entertaining, and visually satisfying tribute to the RPG genre. [Spring 2003, p.31]

THe game's just too darn basic. You can literally run right through each stage and arraive at the boss without firing a single shot. [Spring 2003, p.37]

There's little depth or longevity, but simplified gameplay may appeal to young gamers. [Winter 2001, p.48]

This racer needs more speed and extra helpings of Disney style. [Fall 2003, p.44]

Very different from the PS2 games, but still a fast-paced and somewhat fun dogfighting sim. [Spring 2005, p.68]

Although the control and level designs are excellent, the game suffers from a lack of originality. [Spring 2002, p.40]

It may be too simple for some, but rubber monster fans will eat it up. [Spring 2003, p.33]

As a game, Britney fails on every level. [Winter 2002, p.38]

Skip this one and pick-up the compilation instead. [Summer 2004, p.15]
