Serious Sam isn't a terrible game, but it's one that's better left to more advanced hardware than the Game Boy Advance. [Summer 2004, p.40]

Not the game you want for a car trip. The kids will be screaming for something more fun before the first bathroom break. [Summer 2004, p.37]

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 worst port jobs in history. Just playable enough to make you wish that it weren't so broken. [Summer 2004, p.39]

Has just the right balance of easy controls, tough opponents, and hilarious visuals. It's also bargain-priced, which is a plus. [Summer 2004, p.44]

It's hard to imagine Battle Chip Challenge appealing to anyone but the tiny, dedicated group of MMBN link battlers to whom it's a love letter. [Summer 2004, p.55]

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

It would be nice to see the developers expand on this and either make an original action/RPG for the GBA or bring over "BG: DA II." [Summer 2004, p.35]

One of the all-time great GBA games. Don't miss it. [Summer 2004, p.30]

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

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

Contains an impressive amount of depth, although graphical issues are severe enough to subtract from the overall experience. [Summer 2004, p.37]

Midway's GBA effort falls flatter than a microbe run down by a rampant cartoon steamroller. [Spring 2004, p.46]

It's full of blood and gore, but like most of Rockstar's efforts, this game is very smartly designed. [Spring 2004, p.31]

EX2 takes all of the characters, attacks, and special moves you'd find in an arcade KOF game and crams them into the GBA. [Spring 2004, p.43]

Aspyr did a great job of cramming nearly the entire Activision library for the Atari 2600 into a single GBA cartridge. [Spring 2004, p.38]

The main problem with this game is that it's too easy and repetitive. Enemy A.I. offers almost no resistance, aside from instances where they physically block a corridor. [Spring 2004, p.44]

Despite a wealth of material to draw from, it's a poorly-executed game that lets down anime fans and gamers alike. [Summer 2004, p.44]

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

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]

There are better fighting games out there for GBA, even for hardcore fans of Dragon Ball Z. [Spring 2004, p.40]

Abysmal. The graphics are terrible, the control is loose, and the gameplay is incredibly repetitive. [Spring 2004, p.48]

Not even the most hardcore Star Wars fans should go anywhere near this game. [Spring 2004, p.47]

I'd be embarrassed to gift it to a drooling infant - Lucha is irresponsibly bad. [Spring 2004, p.44]

Visiting hot springs, betting on the horses, and sweet-talking the locals, this is much more than just a farming game. [Spring 2004, p.29]

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

One of the most imaginative, compelling, and outright fun RPGs to grace any system in years. [Spring 2004, p.30]

A great action game with multiplayer modes and a great connectivity bonus for those the GC version of "Rising Sun." [Spring 2004, p.32]
