Mario vs. Donkey Kong (GBA)

There are some really great games out there that no one seems to appreiciate, this is one of them. Mario vs Donkey Kong didn't seem to be noticed. even being bundled with a special super mario Game Boy Advance SP wasn't helping, which is a real shame.

The general storyline is that Donkey Kong wants to buy a new "Mini Mario" toy, but when he arrives at the store they are sold out. Donkey Kong then goes ape *ahem* and attempts to steal all the Mini Marios from the toy company.

This challenging puzzler is a great game with heaps of Mario charm, and if you stick with it long enough you're sure to get to the super-hard +Levels. Don't ignore it, buy it!

Oldtimer perfectly adapted to GBA. Great graphics, great action but too difficult. The Original mode is somewhat easier compared to the Arrange mode but even the "Easy" setting does not help me to get through levels..
It's also a pity that u only have one save slot per mode.

Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace (GBA)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Game Boy Advance
from: Activision

Having been a Spider-Man fan for as long as I can remember, this was obviously a game that could not have failed to escape my attention.

Mysterio's Menace sees you playing as Spider-Man in an effort to prevent Mysterio: master of illusion from getting up to what he loves best... creating startling illusions and dangerous obstacles in order to rid the world of your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man!

All of Spider-Man's arachnid abilities are on offer: wall-crawling, web-slinging and Peter Parker's spider sense warns you of impending danger. With a mass of Spidey's most dangerous foes (including Rhino, Electro, Hammerhead and Scorpion) and a challenge worthy of Spidey fans, Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace is a damn fine GBA game.

Astro Boy: Omega Factor (GBA)

Astro Boy is developed by Japanese company 'Treasure'. Treasure have an unparalled pedigree when it comes to quality 2D games. Such Treasure games as Gunstar Heroes, Guardian Heroes and Ikaruga are respected by gamers across the globe as some the finest pure games ever created.

It seem surprising that the next legendary Treasure game should be an innocous licensed GBA game! Astro Boy GBA is a truly awesome Treasure game :)

Graphically it's stunning, with beautiful animated touches. Gameplay is perfect with an amazing feeling of weight behind Astro's punches and kicks for a game on a tiny screen. You can do lots of cool combos too using the flying kicks. There's also 2D shooter levels where Astro flys using his rocket-boots....and ... Read More:

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (GBA)

Anyone who's played the Tony Hawk games on the PlayStation must look at the titchy GBA cartridges and think "What?!?!? How could they possibly expect to put Tony Hawk in that?!?"

But the truth is that the Tony Hawk games on the GBA are the best conversions from full size consoles that have been done. The developers, rather than try and duplicate the full-size games and make a mess of it have looked at the capabilities of of the GBA and scaled down but without sacrificing the great gameplay. Yes, it's not in "true" 3-D and yes, the levels are trimmed but the tricks are there as is the all-important addiction factor that marks a great game. I don't skate in real life but Tony Hawk 4 is one of the best games, if not the best, around for the GBA.

What a fantastic game! Don the cape and off you go, the only flaw is that you can guess some of the passwords.

Donkey Kong Country 2 (GBA)

I just want to make sure everyone knows that, unlike what the last reviewer mentioned, the DKC series DID NOT make use of the SuperFX chip. All the graphics were pre-rendered before being put into the game, and the fact the DKC games don't use the SuperFX chip is simply confirmed by comparing the connectors in the underside of the orginal snes cartridges with a snes game that did use the FX chip, such as Yoshi's Island. However the graphics, gameplay and music is all perfect. I brought this game in 1995 when it first came out, and i still play it to this day, I cannot reccomend it enough.

Admittedly turning a cartoon into a game can't be easy but this is a mess. Looks like a game boy colour game whith it's doddgy side scrolling graphics. Then I remember such games as Sonic, Mario and WWF road to wrestlemania ( all are great games) so I played on. But the poorly animated Eliza(main character) puts you off and you don't really feel part of the game. Even though it could of been good the short story is the last straw and this will only suit younger gamers.
