The Most Addictive Portable Game Ever. Mario Golf for the Color Gameboy is a fantastic game. This cartridge, the size of a Saltine cracker, packs more punch and fun than games written to run on machines hundreds of times more powerful than the simple Gameboy Color console.
I purchased this game on a business trip in Atlanta, brought it on the plane with me, and had the quickest six-hour trip of my life back to San Francisco thanks to Mario Golf. This game is amazingly addictive, easy to learn, fun to play, and has an excellent graphical makeover to boot.
The game incorporates a small bit of role-playing into the world of a golf as you spend your time in between golf tournaments wandering around the various country clubs. There you can interact with other golfers, play mini-games, and enhance your skills.
The key to becoming a better golfer in Mario Golf involves gaining experience points which in turn allow you to gain levels, which then award you points you can attribute to your skills. Your ultimate goal is to win all of the tournaments and beat the four "club pros" in a singles match. After accomplishing that, you will be able to visit the land of Mario and play against him on his rather unique course.
All in all, this game is a blast and provides endless fun for almost anyone. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
la la la la la...collecting stuff...running by zomOH MY GOD. Ok, installation three of the series...or is it four due to 0? or...whatever. Thusfar I have beaten the remake and obviously this one, currently I ordered 2 and am working on beating 0.
After playing the remake and 0, I thought that this would be the same old schpeal so I popped in the disc and began playing.
"Doo dee doo doo...run past zombies, no problem...collect that fuse? piece of ca...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING??!!!" That was pretty much my reaction. This game is NOT like the others. In this game you have to be on your toes at all times or else this Jason Voorhes like character will come to rip you to sheds. This is Nemesis, and the reason I compare him to Jason is because he ALWAYS finds you and HE WONT STOP CHASING YOU DOWN EVERY FRICKING ALLEY!!!!! Its sooo freaking scary and a littl annoying after a while.
Over all, its a bit short but worth the gameplay for the neverending game of tag between u and NEMESIS | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
I REMEMBER THE OLD DAYS. i got a SNES from someone who i don't even know now and my dad hooked it up for me. The first game i ever had was SMW.I turned it on and said"oooooo,pretty colors"I think this was my very first video game i ever played(either that or a game from old gb)I pressed all the buttons like 50 times and i jumped around. I played for a long time and when i finally found yoshi,i said"WOW!GREEN THINGY WITH A LONG TOUNGE AND I CAN RIDE ON IT!"When i played the game more and more i got to bowsers castle but never beat it....As i grew up i still had it and invited my friends over to play it. And now in present time,i STILL have it!!!!!!But now i can beat the game easy. But look now,it's out for gba! This is one of the first SNES games ever coming into the new advance system. When you look at it,doesn't it bring back memories?Kicking koopas butts,riding on yoshi,picking luigi and mario,and one of the first times we saw bowser(which he is very popular now)I think this is a must want game for anyone. And for you old i-still-have-one-tooth kids,cry like a baby to make your parents get it for you. If you don't have gba then....YOU SHOULD HAVE GOT IT FOR CHIRSTMAS!!! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The Franchised Re-Vamped. Resident Evil is, by far, one of my most favorite franchises in the gaming market; that being said, when I heard Resident Evil 4 was only gonna be available for the Game Cube (at the time) it was an instant system seller. Resident Evil 4 did what the original Resident Evil did for the franchise... It put it back on the map. RE4 is considered one of the greatest games in the franchise (to this day). Not many bad things can be said about the game but there is definitely an abundance of good things that can. Visually it looks (even on the Gamecube) great! Character models and enviroments have had attention to detail. The visuals enhance the mood, and the soundtrack does not disappoint. Almost everything about the game is great, almost.
One thing that can be nit-picked about it is the controls and quick-time events. For the most part the controls can be adjusted to some extent where as not to be so in cumbersome. The one thing that fans will notice is the quick-time events during game-play as well as cut-scenes though they are a welcoming experience to the franchise they do get a little repetitive and tiring at times. Over all I highly recommend Resident Evil 4 to any who own a system for which it is available for. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
a lot of fun, the first entry in the Mana series. The first thing to mention is that Final Fantasy Adventure is really part of the Mana series (Secret of Mana, Legend of Mana). This is, I believe, the first game in the series with the sequel being the excellent Secret of Mana for the SNES. I suspect that the reason for the name change is simply that Square thought that the Final Fantasy name would sell more copies when released in America. This is an adventure RPG.
Final Fantasy Adventure is similar to a Zelda game in that you control a character from the top down and wander around whacking enemies with your weapon (you get different weapons throughout the game). You must get clues to find where the next place to go is and what the next piece of the storyline is. It is as simple as finding and rescuing the princess, but is deeper than that with side story and the Mana Tree. Like other Mana games you do end up at the tree of Mana after a long adventure. When I first played this for the Gameboy I was about 12 years old (or so) and I loved it. This game was a lot of fun and exploring that world was at times a small challenge but overall was just a blast. It really isn't part of the Final Fantasy series (though you will see chocobos), but this is worth playing for fans of the Mana series as well as any who like old school games. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
WormCam GBA. Okay I bought this wormcam a couple of weeks ago and it works better if you have it on bright or normal when out side when in side put it on bright. Oh and don't pay 7 or 8 bucks it's really not worth that much if you can find it for a dollar or two then buy it. Oh and don't bother with the cable or cd it comes with they only work on the older computers likw with windows 95 and up so if you have an old school computer that's like 95 or 96,97,or even 98 then go and try to pull up the pictures but on the the new school computers like from 2000 and up the cable and cd that come with this camera are completely useless although the camera it's self take's excellent pictures in color you just have to be really patient with this camera. Have fun and good picture taking. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Not too bad. Ferrari F355 is a pretty difficult simulation to play, let alone master. This game is true to its arcade roots... tough yet probably one of the most realistic handling simulations out there. If you are looking for a game to quickly jump into and start competing for the championship right away, then stay away from this game... Test Drive LeMans would be more to your liking. If you want a game with a very steep learning curve that will test your mettle, then this is the game for you. The music does tend to get a bit monotonous, so it's a good thing you can shut it off. All in all, not a bad game, if you can get it at a discount. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Parents- Please Read. This review is not to critique the game and say if it's fun to play or not. I'm writing as a parent of a just-turned-6 year old boy who was loaned this game. While it is rated "E", and you may think it's safe for your kids like "Finding Nemo" or "Cat in the Hat" which are also rated "E". This game is VASTLY different. If you love your child and don't want him or her to see images of Spider-Man being ambushed by 5 gangsters with machine guns in the opening minutes of the game, then I'd suggest you pass on this one.
My son cried his eyes out for 5 minutes when I told him he couldn't play it anymore, but then happily went on to other activities. It was hard to tell him no, but I'm so glad I did the right thing. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The best intro/guide to Sonic... for now. Let's just sum this up now, the Sonic The Hedgehog series are one of the best set of games you could ever play. It's all about fast side scrolling action with slick character designs set to energetic music. It is definitely a trendsetter and you can tell because age has not surpassed its fun and coolness. (The Sonic series is about fourteen years old too.)
Although it well worth the price, I feel Sega have missed a good opportunity to really pay tribute to their long-lived mascot. Sure it's a big improvement from the Sega Saturn compilation, Sonic JAM, which could only fit the first three Sonic games plus Sonic & Knuckles with the lock on technology, but there is still the glaring omission of Sonic CD which was made for the old Mega-CD add on for the Mega Drive `back in the day'. (Not to mention the Master System's Sonic series that were very different.)
But don't let that get you down (Or make you download games illegally through emulation.) because if you want to own a piece of the classic Sonic for your console system to get that feel then by all means it's money well spent.
I'm sure one day they'll perfect a console with discs that can store Sonic's entire career up until this day including all the Dreamcast and arcade games, and if the past is any indication of the direction the franchise is going Sonic will keep entertaining future generations for years to come. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Best of the Series. I do not understand anyone who would rate this game badly. This game enthralled me for hours. It was so much fun, that I have played it through two times. The graphics are not as good as Galaxy, of course, but I thought that from the neat worlds down to the music was fantastic. Some of the stars were difficult and frustrating, but I think they were better planned out than the simpler ones found in Galaxy, though Galaxy did have a few hard ones to. This game took me longer than Galaxy, about the same amount of time it took me to beat Mario 64. Galaxy was good, Mario 64 was better, Sunshine was the best. (Don't get me wrong, Galaxy was a lot of fun, but not tops on my list.) It was a lot of fun defending a hotel from a manta ray attack and running along the rooftops of Delfino Plaza, I highly recommend this game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A fun game, repetitive at times. This game is great, and it is fun to play at parties or with your family, but it would get kind of tiring if you played it often. While there are mini-games to unlock, you play many of the same ones over and over again before it randomly unlocks a new one. Maybe you should buy it used like I am going to. It is now cheaper because you can buy the new version: Mario Party 6, which looks awesome with the microphone that is included. Mario Party 5 is perfect for any level of gamer, and I especially like the fact that you can add a handicap of stars to any player. Have fun, and best of luck to the future Dream Star! (You'll know what I mean when you play the game!) | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Great collection of games for a great price. The Mega Man X series was home to a lot of great games. Pretty much all of the best ones are in this collection, and they are emulated to perfection (I rented 3 of them and owned one of them, so I know). I'll break down each game in this review soon, but first let me describe the collection's up points, as a whole.
The collection has a universal saving system that works the same for each game. There's a total of three slots per game, per memory card (supports slot A and slot B saving). For the first three games this is especially important, since those ones had passwords. Saving in one of those saves the password, only requiring you to press start once the data is loaded.
There's only two real downsides in the collection overall. First, the game (in my experience) WILL NOT work on component video cables. It loads a few intro videos and plays the sound, but no picture is displayed. This is the only Gamecube game where I've seen this happen. Second, the Gamecube controller really isn't built for these games. Regardless, you're allowed to change the button configuration (sadly, you have to change it every time you start X1-X3).
Now, onto the individual games. Just as a general guideline for what visual and sound quality to expect, X1-X3 were originally on the Super Nintendo. X4-X6 were originally on the Playstation 1 (and still 2D).
Mega Man X1 (10 out of 10): This is pretty much the cream of the crop. For an action game, it had a pretty good story and an amazing atmosphere. The controls were pretty tight too. This game also introduced the concept of armor upgrades. For example, getting an arm upgrade will let you charge up your arm cannon to an even more powerful (and prettier looking) blast. This game is also pretty difficult, and though some parts may seem cheap I think the challenge provided is just right. And the final battles are just spectacular. (As a side note, this one has the best soundtrack of all 6, in my opinion).
Mega Man X2 (9 out of 10): Another good one. Even though it isn't as awesome as its predecessor, it's good enough that you probably won't care. Very similar to X1, except with different armor upgrades and different weapons to acquire from bosses. This game is a bit easier overall, but still enough of a challenge to provide some fun.
Mega Man X3 (8.5 out of 10): If this were a port of the SNES version I would give it a 9 out of 10. However, it's a port of a different version (Sega Saturn, I believe), and is, in my opinion, lower quality compared to the SNES version. The visuals are the same, but the sound and music quality took quite a nose-dive in my view. Regardless, for all intents and purposes it plays the same as the SNES version, and even though most people seem to not like this one (any version) I think it was actually pretty solid overall.
Mega Man X4 (8 out of 10): This game has one of the best features ever. You can play as Zero from start to finish if you want to! His weapon is a sword as opposed to X's arm cannon, which really shifts the dynamic of gameplay compared to X. The downside is that this game isn't so great in regards to level design. The levels seem shorter and lacking compared to the previous three games (not only that, they also split each level into two sections and refill your life before the second half, which is dumb). These normal levels actually feel a bit TOO easy to me, but the game makes up for it with some rather intense boss fights (save for one really easy one). The ending boss fights are brutal for me EVEN TO THIS DAY (but I still managed to finish the game).
Mega Man X5 (7 out of 10): This is where I feel the series really starts to falter. In addition to having poor production values (the text translation is awful), the game is also rather asinine in regards to difficulty balance. The game can often be unfairly difficult at times, yet also have some spots of stupor-inducing ease. Also, the level designs are very counter-intuitive here, lending to a bit of redundancy at times and a narrow-minded focus. Still, for some this one may still be worth playing, and it does have an interesting multiple ending mechanic (I won't tell you how that works).
Mega Man X6 (6 out of 10): You know, the real shame about this entry is that it had a somewhat decent story (minus the translation errors) and some rather spectacular music (I'd rank it a close second behind X1. It'd get first if it weren't for the fact that some of the tracks are a bit dumb in contrast to the good ones). The worst part about this one is that the difficulty balance is way, WAY out of whack! The game is hard to the point of masochism in some parts, and not in the well-crafted way that some games manage. Not only that, the fact that you have to follow a surprisingly ultra-specific route to even be able to access the final stages is a real pain. To add insult to injury some of the final stages seem to be impossible to finish with certain armor sets (the armor sets themselves are pretty cool), sometimes forcing you to try a whole stage ALL OVER AGAIN with a different armor set just to finish the stage. In a word, the game feels unpolished. To this day I'm surprised I had the gumption to finish it all the way.
There's an unlockable racing game in this collection, but I haven't acquired it. I haven't heard good things about it though.
Overall, for the first few entries alone this collection is easily worth the money. If you end up liking them all, all the better.
(Note: The overall score I give is NOT an average of the individual game scores. It is my score of the overall package in regards to how much I recommend it). | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Choose and pick the best one. All right, all you old-school, 2-D fight fans out there...this is it. The best 2-D fighter on any home console (with Marvel vs. Capcom 2 a CLOSE second) finally arrives on the DC. Capcom may have yet to learn how to count past three (heck, it took 'em eight years to get past TWO!) but this one is absolutely the greatest of the Street Fighter series. The characters are plentiful (19 in all); their animation, just like the box ad says, seamless (if a tad pixelated). Gameplay is just like we Street Fighter fans like it; with the addition of a few new tricks (like parrying and leap attacks to confuse low-blockers). Backgrounds are beautiful as usual, and some of the items in the stages interact with the fight (like the leaves shifting on the ground when someone's head makes impact with it). The music's great too; a nice blend of jazz/fusion and cranking guitar. All that and the return of fan-favorite Chun-Li make for a wonderful fighting experience for just about anyone. You'll have some good fun with figuring out the new parrying system, the super arts, bonus stages, etc. as well. Even though the gameplay may be a little simplistic to some (especially Marvel vs. Capcom 2 fans), it's complex in its simplicity and should give you at least a few months of steady play, which is pretty good for a fighting game. The only reasons I gave it four stars is that the computer opponents are rather hard to beat, and if you're new to fighting games, that's trouble; and while the fighters move as fluidly as running water, they look a little too rough around the edges for Dreamcast standards, especially when they were hand-drawn. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Not Much to Offer. The Mario Party franchise is one of the most well-known game series and has known to be one of the most fun. However, after playing and beating Mario Party 5, I must say that it is evident that the developers lost their touch and are running out ideas. All, and I seriously mean all, of the the mini games are either boring button mashers or mini games that we've seen in Mario Patry's 1, 2, 3, and 4. I was greatly disapointed by this title because I did love the first four Mario Partys, but this one is purely unoriginal. I know one could say that it looks good because they added a single player mode, and still has a great party mode. However, who honestly cares that a game has a single and party player mode if the gameplay itself is boring? The answer is no one. Take the word of a hardcore gamer that has beaten the single player mode of this game and played through the party mode, this game is not worth $50. If you want a party game, seriously, your better off getting Mario Party 4. It has the same graphics, better price, and is a better game. Only extremists of party games and the Mario Party series that have all of the previous installments should consider buying this game when it becomes cheaper. But, for the average gamer and as of right now, you'd be better off saving that $50. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Quality control anyone. PoP is a great series of games which has come a long way (technically speaking). in many ways, you can't go wrong with any of the four games now out there. the focus on dexterity makes them fun in the spirit of the original. but The Two Thrones continues a theme that began with the sequel: a lack of attention to gameplay.
The Two Thrones doesn't seem to have as many stranded-in-the-game bugs as The Warrior Within. it does, however, suffer terribly from the problem of rotating view and view-dependent movement. I've gotten so tired of dealing with the controls not keeping up with the orientation of the camera, that I've put the game down -- I just can't take it anymore!
a few others: the Quick Kill feature is pretty contrived; hiding necessary life upgrades(!?); a really lame permanent weapon; and boring puzzles.
I think I'm going to pull out my SNES and plug in the original. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Party By Day, Chaotic By Night, Fun Multiplayer At Its Finest. The fun and frantic series continue with Mario Party 6. While the franchise got evolved with another changes to its formula, the day-and-night cycle for the boards was very surprisingly interested. Plus, it fixed the item system from the last MP game and improved selection of mini-games. However, the microphone was not very functional and disappointed; most of the microphone games were not excited nor satisfied. Thankfully, that was only an option to justify.
Though it's not the best game of the series, MP6 is at least an enjoyable multiplayer game. If you're die-hard Mario Party fans, then this game will not disappoint you. Just don't buy this game for the microphone! It's for the entire package alone. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Turn Based Strategy For Grown Ups. I've played both Fire Emblem and Advance wars, two very similar Turn-Based strategy games on the GBA. Both games were fantastic, but were a bit too...juvinile for my adult tastes.
Third Age remedies this. Instead of running silly looking anime-esque teenagers, the player gets to move around gorgeous LoTR sprites, whose animations remind me of the original Diablo game for the PC. There is a definite grittyness to the animations as well as the settings, all beautifully depicted. My only gripe with the animations is that they tend to be a little too dark and gritty. It's sometimes hard to tell one sprite from another. Luckily, a quick move of the curser identifies each character.
Which leads into the game mechanics themselves. Instead of using the standard "everyone gets to go once a turn" sequence of Fire Emblem and Advance Wars, Third Age uses a randomly determined number to tell how units that can move each turn. While this doesn't make the game very realistic, it makes it feel more like a strategy board game than a true battle. Of course, the commanding heroes the player chooses in each battle helps to determine this number. At first, I was concerned with this, until I played my first battle with cavalry.
In the LoTR setting, it is the cavalry (mumakils, Rohirim and Worg riders) that turn the tide of most battles. This game simulates this beautifully, making cavalry and powerful tool in any skirmish. While most units simply move and attack or shoot, the cavalry units can move before and after an attack, making them incredibly powerful strike-and-regroup units. To date I haven't seen a wargame that gives their cavalry units the power they deserve.
The heroes themselves are upgradeable, earing experience points with each kill in their area of the battlefield. As they gain experience, they can purchase more powerful abilities (like Legolas' rapid fire, allowing more attacks per turn, and Gandalf's inspire, which allows other units to go when command points are used up). These abilities add a nice customizable dimension that is lacking in Emblem and Wars.
The music is pulled straight from the movie trilogy, as are many of the sound effects. Swords ring, fire and lightning explodes, and death cries resound, all held together by the riveting musical score.
If you are a fan of LoTR, check out this game. If you are a fan of Turn-based strategy games, but are tired of silly anime sprites, look no further. Despite the dark graphics and slightly difficulty level, I feel that this is the best strategy game to date on the GBA. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
This Game Is Frightfully Awesome. Nintendo didn't have a traditional Super Mario Game ready for the Gameube at launch, but they had this game instead...which starred Mario's younger brother Luigi. A lot of people were skeptical about this game, thinking it was just a gimmick and such. In fact, to this day there's a lot of people who put this game down, including X-Play's Adam Sessler, who actually had the nerve to say this game sucks! But HE'S the one who sucks, because this game is awesome!
My only complaint about this game is that it's a bit too short, but it's a non-stop thrill ride to the end! Who could have ever guessed that sucking up ghosts in a vacuum could be so addicting? After a while, vacuuming ghosts becomes like second nature and you can't get enough of it. The thing that's fun is trying to vacuum them a certain way in order to shake out the big pearls and such! The more valuables you collect, the better ranking you'll score at the end of the game. If you suck out all of the big pearls from a major ghost, you'll score the gold framed painting of that particular ghost. The best I ever did was a 'B' ranking. I still don't know what I could have possibly missed? You can find money and jewels in nearly everything...chandeliers, couches, cabinets, vases, the refridgerator, even the toilet! And let's not forget the wiley and quick "Gold Mice" that occasionally appear! Oh, and also by watering plants.
The main plot of the game is to rescue your brother Mario, who was trapped inside of a painting! The final showdown with King Boo is pretty cool! This will alway's be one of my all-time favorite games and I REALLY hope to see a sequel some day soon! This game deserves the 5-star rating I gave it and more. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Needed More Beams, But it's the Bomb. I must say this is the only sequel this year to not let me down. After beating Halo 2 and Knights of the old republic 2, and beating myself up for days thinking that maybe it was just me and not the games that made both relationships not work.
My friend got me this gem of a game, and i had hope in my life again. I mean it's what happens when you take an alien movie, and instead of marines fighting aliens off, Samus Aran is fighting them. Doesnt get cooler than that.
Highly recommend, especially when all the other sequels this year are falling short. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Perfection. I love the Lord of the Rings so this may be a bit biased, but I will also give you the facts: The Two Towers a GREAT game, better than The Fellowship of the Ring (PS2) by a long shot. The graphics are excellent but can be a little bit choppy at times, goblins, orcs, Uruk-hai, Saruman, cave trolls, wargs, ring wraiths....they're all there. The good guys? Frodo, Gandalf, Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli, and also large armies of elves and men (Helms Deep). As most people are saying, the game is on a very large scale. There are huge armies of orcs, Uruk-hai, goblins, even wargs. At helms deep, the third part, there are at any given time, at least 100 bad guys that are active and actually able to fight with. A VERY important part of the game is that you choose your upgrades wisely, some them are required in certain levels.
The Characters:
Legolas: This elf is quick, fast, and a good shot with a bow...but he lacks the strength and close combat skills needed for the majority of the game. Standing back and shooting randomly with his bow won't do much good 99% of the time.
Aragorn: This ranger should definitely be your first pick. He is fast, has a lot of good sword combos, and his bow is almost equal to that of Legolas. He packs plenty of power for hand to hand combat and enough skill to deadly from long range.
Gimli: This dwarf would be my second pick after Aragorn. He is fast (despite what other people are saying), very, very powerful with his axe, but....his throwing axes are just terrible. They go really slow, and don't do a lot of damage.
BUY THIS GAME | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
I'm a simple man who. I must be an idiot, but this games controls are very frustrating. I feel that a keyboard is necessary to enjoy this game. I found myself spending half of my time looking in the manual to figure out what 2 button combo I needed to use next, and the other half of the time wishing I was playing Syphon Filter. I liked the atmosphere (I am a World War II buff). I like the idea of the game. The execution is too difficult. I am supposed to be playing, not figuring out the controls. There are some real nice features to this game, but you might need a keyboard to discover them. I hope someone enjoys the used copy I have made available.... | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Connects the Genesis to the TV ; . The picture and title associated with this item suck. Let me tell you what you're buying into. The title should read something like: "Genesis AV Cables." They will connect your Genesis to a TV with AV ports, not a computer monitor.
A note about the sound:
This cable has a single audio and video cable, so you won't get stereo sound. This is probably made for Genesis 1, which only supported mono sound for the TV (stereo for the headphone jack). The later versions of the Genesis support stereo sound, so if you have a latter model Genesis you may want to look for a different cable.
Also, feel free to ignore the talk of "Delivers sharper graphics with instant connection" and "crisper more dazzling graphics and clearer sound." Unless your current cables are broken, this cable is unlikely to improve upon anything. You're basically stuck with the same fancy 16-bit graphics and sound that we all know and love. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
amazing , but . the first Metroid was fun and didn't have a 1-4 player mode. The new one is amazingly fun but not the adventure mode. The 1-4 player mode is very fun, for the fact that you can get hacking to people, the light beam , the dark beam, the annililator beam,and the death ball which is a really cheap weapon. But you'll notice that the game is rated:T for violance and animated blood, If your mom or dad are caution freaks there is no blood at all, at all! But if your a good gamer,as to my friend this game is right right for you if you want a challeng for the adventure modde this game is right for you. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
AMAZING! BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. Well, this is another masterpiece by NINTENDO! This game, juust like the original is very fun, and original! Here is the low down...
Graphics:Awesome!!! All the characters look like they were taken from their original games and put in this game. The arenas are also very original and cool looking. A
Gameplay: Best cartoon fighting game... hands down!!! All your favorite characters are included and you could just play for hours. YOU JUST GET HOOKED! AWESOME!
Fun Factor: A 100 if possible! Absolutly the best! NINTENDO has created a masterpiece that will go down as one of the best games ever!
This is my review... hope it was helpful! A MUST BUY!!! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Didn't work at all (and yes my TV is fine with Dreamcast VGA. I bought this as a replacement for a different brand cable that had started going flaky. I'd been using my Dreamcast on VGA for years so I know my TV accepts the signal, but this cable output nothing at all, not even audio. Amazon sent me a replacement but that was the same story. I went back to my flaky cable and that was ok. Obviously other people don't have a problem with this cable but it seems there is a faulty batch in circulation. For it to not even output audio is just weird. The TV didn't even detect anything as being plugged into the VGA input, which it does even with just a regular VGA cable plugged in with nothing connected.
It seems for most people to work just fine, so it's worth trying. But be aware there are quite a few people for whom it didn't work at all. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
affordable and works just fine. I made the horrific mistake of selling my gamecube controllers while selling the gamecube system at a garage sale... I thought that I would just buy some wii classic controllers to match my system. I didn't realize they were incompatible with the gamecube games. So when I went on amazon to purchase new nintendo gamecube controllers, I was horrified to see that they were so expensive... I did not want to spend 80 on controllers to replace the ones that I just foolishly gave away with a gamecube system for 20. I felt like a sucker.
I bought these, and hoped for the best. My children haven't complained and they look the same as the nintendo ones... and for a quarter of the cost of an authentic nintendo controller-- I'd say you are better off buying these ones. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |

THIS GAME ROCKS. I've only owned 3 since this came out Megaman games(Megaman Legends,Megaman8,and Megaman battle network 3.) And I go on amazon and here it comes, in front of my eyes! GRAPHICS8/10 My aunt owned a NES and let me play megaman and everything looks the same. Still the 8-bit megaman. SOUND9/10 The sound is great except in Megaman8. They changed it all from the PS1 version. FUN10/10 This game is great fun and I recommend it to any megaman fan. (Megaman power battle rocks on high!!!!!!!) I finally figured out how to unlock it but I'm keeping it a secret. CONTROLS10/10 I know Capcom switched the controls and it took a little practice, but don't let that stop you from playing.(Everybody, STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CONTROLS!!!!!!!!!Thank you.) This is a very great game and if you missed out on megaman,buy it now! Thanks, Capcom! Thank you for everything! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |

THIS GAME IS FUN!THIS IS A MUST HAVE! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Great game, but can be frustrating. First of all, let me say that I agree with what the other reviewers have said so far. The gameplay is great, and the controls are fairly intuitive once you get used to them. (just a minor problem where I keep hitting the wrong button and switching into morph ball mode when I try to fire too fast)
The only problem I have with this game is that there are too many points at which you are left asking "now what? Where am I supposed to go?" it would have been nice if the hint system didn't point you to an area you can't reach 'til you get a particular upgrade. I wish it would point me to the upgrade first. But this game is definitely worth the money. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
This is what I think. Ive heard alot of good things about this memory card Ive also heard alot of bad thhings . I think its great that it has alot of space . But Ive heard errors occur when you save sports games but
I don't play sports games so thats beside the point. I haven't bought this because I live in puerto vallarta Jaliso ( in the country of Mexico) and everything is very expensive but when I go to newyork Im going to buy it . If you have a normal memory card try to copy all of your data on to this one. But somtimes you cant like the chao garden in sonis adventure 2 battle. So then you have to try to out smart the game. So use the memory card if its defective or has errors return it and ask for your money back . And Im giving it 5 stars because if it works for you its the best memorycard in the world . | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
This game is why you should buy a Dreamcast now. OK, I'll admit, when I first saw that Sega was going to take over the production part of the game, I hesistated. Being a fan of the Resident Evil series, I thought that it should've stayed with Sony. All of the games on Sony (except for the...Survivor shooting game) were awesome, bringing me to new levels of terror and fear. Code Veronica, however, surpasses them all to the point where you will have nightmares.
The story takes place a bit after Res 2 (which happened before and during Res 3, if you can keep up). Claire Redfield, while looking for her brother Chris, has been captured by Umbrella and detained on an uncharted island. Of course, zombies come out from nowhere, and Claire has to find a way to get off the island. The plot is top notch, and some parts had me going, "What the heck?", while the creatures had me saying other words I shouldn't say. The game is engrossing, and with the addition of a dark room and surround sound, it's really creepy. Creaking sounds and footsteps will have you wondering what's behind door #1 (giant spiders make quick thump-thump-thump sounds with their legs before they come to chew on you), and the beasts are rendered nicely (in a scare-you-silly kind of way). The puzzles will make you think, as checking everything you collect is the only way to get through.
The graphics are excellent, as shading and cutscenes are beautiful to watch. When Claire lights her lighter, it's a sight to behold, as it flickers realistically. The only problem is the clunky control, as it seems to populate this series a lot. It's a problem, but one you can adapt to (and you'd better, before you become lunch meat).
The replay value comes in the battle game. Beat the game, and that becomes available (successfully complete a puzzle in the game, and Steve becomes available). You can play as Claire, Chris Redfield, Steve, or Wesker, each complete with certain weapons (Wesker's game is insane; you only fight with a knife).
All in all, with the Dreamcast becoming more affordable, I'd suggest you pick this game up. It's easily the best of the series. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Great Price, Works Fantastic. I would definitely recommend these cables, just make sure that your TV actually has an S-cable connection (as I tried initially on a Samsung Plasma HDTV but found that the tv did not have an S video connection, but instead only component connections. Just remember there are ports that LOOK LIKE S-video connections but may say something like "3D" or whatever, but just ensure that the connection actually says "S-video"over it. Anyway, pay no attention to the reviews that state that these cables feel cheap and flimsy, they don't in the least. They feel just as solid as any other cables you would buy, and for the great price, it's really a no-brainer. These cables DO improve the look of Gamecube games, things will look overall sharper and colors a bit more refined. Sure it isn't High Definition quality, but for this price, why not go for some graphical enhancement? Again, a no-brainer. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Ding! It's Rainbow Six on the 'cube. Waay better than the PC version, as there is story in it and you are not just dropped into disjointed scenarios (although control will never beat keyboard in mouse, imo). The biggest problem I have with this is the stupid buttrock them hamfisted into bizarre segments in the game. The music hardly reflects what is going on and just seems like they are trying too hard! It's no classic Rainbow Six, but it's a good console Rainbow Six made with the console in mind. Sort of the turning point of the series for me, where it was no longer the Rainbow Six I loved, still not a bad game though. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
its fun. Megaman Zero is a weird type of megaman game. see it has some odd parts like you don't start out with the Z-Saber instead you must find it. You also start out with a buster like the X-buster but it looks like a gun. Zero dousn't even look like Zero and yet they still say it is. Zero does not have a buster like X even in X5 when Zero gets an arm cannon it still doesn't look like that.but overall its a hard megaman game. The bosses have lost of life and you don't have much so that makes it hard. but the bosses stratagies suck even I could beet the final bosses first form in one try annd he had a lot of life. but overall this is one of the most challenging games ever a defenent must buy. But I give it 4 stars because of its odd grafics. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
hmm. . Ok, this game is geared towards children, I will admit. You don't control mickey at all, which I was kind of upset about, but hey, what am I to do, ya know? Well after playing for awhile (more like 2 hours) I finished this game. Unless you are between the ages of 2-5 I would reccamend <sp> not buying this. But the graphics are really good, its just that sometimes (ok, MOST of the time) you wish you could just hit start and have the game go a little faster. This was my first NGC game, and well, I am honestly hoping that not all of them are like this, b/c if they are... ebay HERE I COME. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A video game classic (with good cheats. I first played this game at my cousins house. I had played sonic 3 before, so I was eager to play sonic 2. Man, they don't make video gmes like this anymore. Simple, yet challenging, yet extremely fun. I got the code for level select and super sonic shortly after I beat the game. Go to options at the title menu, go to sound test, and put in 19,65,9,17. You'll hear a sound. Then, press c. The title menu will come on again. Hold down A and press Start. The level select will come up on the screen. Go to the sound test at the bottom of the screen, and put in 4,1,2,6. You'll hear a sound, now you can be super sonic! Go to any level you want, get 50 rings and jump.
I gave this game 4 stars instad of 5 because you can't make Tails fly. Otherwise, this is a video game classic. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Definitely a solid entry into the Star Wars game pantheon. Well, the creators at LucasArts have done it again and put together a fun, challenging, and innovative Star Wars game. Rebel Strike puts the gamer alongside the storyline of the movies and not only has the ship combat available in the first two Rogue Squadron games, but combat on foot, flying speeder bikes, and piloting ATST and ATAT walkers. And it has plenty of replay value--with the addition of a large and fun new multiplayer game. Of course, it has its downs--missions are often too short, and the speeder bike controls tend to be finicky. But it makes up for its shortcomings and is, in my opinion, the best Star Wars game on GameCube to date. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Only recommended for Star Wars enthusiasts. When I purchased my Gamecube on December 1st, 2001, they're were tons of launch titles that excited me into buying the Gamecube instead of the Playstation 2. Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II was one of them. I saw videos on online gaming sites, and it blew me away. The amazing sound, the out-of-this-world graphics.
I wasn't able to choose a game to buy when I bought my Gamecube, but I recieved Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 as a gift. After I beat Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, I got bored, and I decided to get Star Wars over Super Smash Bros: Melee. Boy, did I make a mistake!
When you start Rogue Leader, you are greeted by little men in white costumes dancing to the LucasArt icon. As soon as you start, you see a X-Wing blast through the screen, and you see the amazing animation and explosion graphics. I was impressed. The menus are cool, and show clips of Episode 4, 5 and 6.
When I started playing, I showed of the graphics, and what the Gamecube hardware was able to pull off. I kept playing, and playing. I wondered what I did wrong, but it was impossible for a person who hasn't play Rogue Squadron for Nintendo 64 to complete the first level. My cousin has Rogue Squadron for Nintendo 64, and we thought that it was really hard. Rogue Squadron is laughable compared to Rogue Leader. I haven't played Rogue Squadron for a while. I couldn't believe it, but it took me over an hour to complete the first level with a bronze medal. Even on easy mode, it still is impossible to beat.
When I play a game as hard as Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II, I go to cheat sites to help me with my gameplay. I found cheat codes for Infinite Lives and health, I still couldn't beat some levels. I think this game is only made for people who were able to complete every level in Rogue Squadron for Nintendo 64 with Gold Medals.
Even though Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 was my first game, and I beat it so many times, I still go back and play it for old times sake. I even hooked up my Playstation and played Tony Hawk 2. I once went back and started playing Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II, and honestly, I couldn't play it for more than a half-hour. A game like this really gets me frustrated. Out of the 6 games I own which are Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Star Wars, Super Smash Bros: Melee, NBA Street, James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire and Aggressive Inline, I couldn't say without a doubt, Star Wars was the one that got the least time under the hood of my Gamecube.
Well, I would only recommend it to Star Wars enthusiasts, this is a good game at heart. You definitely need a GameShark to beat this game. I gave individual ratings below;
Graphics: 5/5
Sound: 5/5
Control: 4/5
Tilt: 1/5
Replay Value: 1/5
Difficulty: 10/5
Lasting Appeal: 2/5 | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
An old favorite of mine. The original Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure was released almost 8 years ago for the Genesis and Super Nintendo, and I loved playing it on my Genesis, I played it constantly. When I heard it was being released on the GBA, I snatched it up, and it gives me a nostalgic feeling when I play it now. However, all of the problems that plagued the original are present here, the tediously designed levels and somewhat uninspired gameplay, but the good outweighs the bad. The graphics look better than ever, the animation and control is super smooth, and the backgrounds are nicely detailed. All in all, this new version of an old classic is a pretty good addition to your GBA library. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The absolute WORST of the Classic NES Series. PACMAN is the game that basically defined the Arcade. But this isn't the "Classic Arcade Series" its the "Classic NES Series" which means we get the NES version. This is NOT a good thing and while PACMAN is one of the games that will NEVER be forgotten the "Classic NES Series" doesn't capture it in all its glory. PACMAN was a nice classic Arcade game. I wouldn't consider the NES version to be a classic in anyway. There are a few things that stand out as to why.
The gameplay isn't bad. You're PACMAN in a maze eating up little yellow pelts. The Big Pelts give you the chance to capture the ghost.
But as I said some things are just wrong. For example, the Arcade version was a stretched out screen with the score at the top. This version shows the score off to the far right and tries to hard to fit it into the screen. You'll notice that PACMAN, the fruit and the ghost are all bigger than the corridor of the maze.
PACMAN also suffers from what many other Classic NES games suffer from and this one has it bad. For one ITS BEEN RE-RELEASED SEVERAL TIMES! If you have the Namco Museum you're fine (and that's even out on the GBA). Don't buy the classic NES series of PACMAN. Instead buy the Namco Museum package. Not only is it better but its also the Arcade version. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
awsome game. i am a great big fan of resident evil games. i remeber when i was about 5 when i first played resident evil the original.it was great full of zombies, mutants and etc. then came resident evil 2 agian full of zombies and etc. which was better than the first one then resident evil nemesis which ended the story line. i loved it.all the resident evils have the same thing : zombies, which becomes boring after a while.then i heard about resident evil 4 and heard that it doesn't have zombies anymore. well after reading the reviews i finally bought it. i was afraid that i might have wasted my money and after playing it for 10 min i realized i was wrong. this is the best resident evil game i have ever played in my life. man its awsome especially the chainsaw dude and the regeneraters. if you have seen resident evil apocalypse you will notice that this game's storyline is like that movie. leon kennedy from resident evil 2 is back and has to rescue the president daughter and during the beggining of the game he is enfected with the las plagas (kind of like the t virus but a parasite) so he is becoming a killing machine. the part of the game i love is where leon has to fight with krauser which is another killing machine. this is a great game. buy it wether you are a resident evil fan or not. thanks to capcom. looking forward to resident evil 5 which will be coming soon | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
WOW! Best 3D engine yet . If you are looking for a great racing/rally title for the Gameboy Advance, this would be it.
Unlike many GBA titles, V-Rally 3 does not make use of a flat, rotating 2D image. V-Rally 3 features one of the most advanced engines I have seen yet on the GBA. V-Rally's engine is in full 3D: vast hills, blind corners, jumps, bridges, and canyons that tower above you -- all at a peppy 30fps. Impress your friends.
This title also has gameplay too. Choose various production cars, sign contracts, win rallys, time trial, race other cars or go solo. With multiple cartridges, you can race your friends.
Between various events you will be given various weather conditions and road surface types. You are given the ability to select tires, change gearing, modify the suspension, etc.
Take that corner too hard? Crashed into the wall? Damage will add up, and you will be given a certain amount of time to repair various items between events. But be careful -- you may not be able to repair all of your damage at once if it becomes too severe.
This is one of the most impressive GBA games I have seen to date. Get your copy today! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Disappointing. These controllers quickly worked their way to the back of the lineup as far as which of my controllers get the most play time. They are really awesome looking, but they just stink! I take great care of them, but the turbo button will randomly activate, and the buttons will stop sensing unannounced, which is not good for something like "Super Smash Brothers." Anyone who plays with you more than once will quickly learn to not get stuck with one of these controllers if they want to win. The seller was great and they arrived on time, but the controllers just don't make the cut! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Best for Young Gamers. This game was way to easy for me - and I'm not an avid gamer. I enjoy games that allow me to compete against friends & family (like Super Smash Brothers) and only occasionally play games that, like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, progress you through levels to complete the game. I typically just don't have the patience to complete this type of game, even if the game is well done & enjoyable.
I told everyone this to say: I completed Charlie & the Chocolate Factory in a weekend - and I was not playing constantly for the whole weekend. Just a couple of hours (at most) each day.
If you're looking for a game that your young child can play, this is the game for you. The controls are very basic, only a couple of tasks really involve thinking things through before you act (it would give a parent an excuse to play the game with their children).
If you're an avid gamer, this game is sure to dissapoint if you purchase it. Rent it if you want an easy game to kill some time, but I don't recommend avid gamers purchase this one.
As a side note - I LOVED the film (and not just because Johnny Depp was Willy Wonka). I saw the film after I played the game, so my view of the movie didn't affect my opinion of the game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Great game, but all Star wars lack 1 thing. This game is really fun, but i think everyone agrees with me when i say that Star Wars needs to make a multiplayer game. This game is sumwhat difficult, its extremely hard to get Gold medals but simple in getting bonus ships. The graphics in this game are terrific(thats why i developed the habit of shooting down tie fighters)and the imperial At-Ats die in a whole new way. If you do decide to get this game, be aware that in the Battle for Endor, ties will keep ramming you making it harder to fight the 2 Star Destroyers at the end of the level. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Takes a while to get every game. If you aren't aware yet, this is a compilation of classic games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Spinball, and other Genesis titles. The games that are unlocked at the start are:
Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic The Hegehog 2
Sonic The Hedgehog 3
Sonic and Knuckles
Sonic Spinball
Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine
Sonic 3D Blast
All of these games are perfectly fine and run great on my GameCube, but those aren't all of the games. You can unlock the following games:
Knuckles in Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Sonic 3 and Knuckles
Flicky
Ristar
The way to unlock those games is a bit weird. There aren't any codes you have to enter to get them. Instead, you have to play other games 20 or 30 times each to get them. That doesn't sound bad at first, but when you start a game, it has a little loading screen and then saves a "Record Log" which basically saves how many times you have played that game.
In order to unlock Sonic 3 and Knuckles, you have to play Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles 20 times EACH. That really doesn't sound bad, but once you try to exit the game to start your next "play" of the game, there is a loading screen that takes about 10 seconds each time. You wouldn't notice this when normally playing the game, but when you're constantly exiting and entering the same game 20 times in a row, it gets pretty annoying.
In order to unlock most of the others, you usually have to play a couple of games 20 or 30 times each. But in order to unlock the best game, (in my opinion), Ristar, on the compilation, you have to play EVERY SINGLE GAME 30 TIMES EACH. There are 10 games on there (not counting Ristar), you have to sit through 300 loaading screens.
That's why I created a checklist for each time I've played each game. Every time I play Sonic, I'll mark off one of 30 under Sonic's tally marks. This will really help you save time, if you're really serious about it like I am. That way you don't have to keep track of all the numbers and you can come back in another sitting and resume your progress.
This isn't a bad compilation, but if you really want the Ristar game like me, there is no way around wasting hours to get it. But if you just want to relax and play the classic Sonic Trilogy and it's spinoffs, this is where you should be.
There is an easier way to get the Flicky game, and that is to have a Sonic Adventure 2 Battle save on your memory card. But if you don't have it like me, you'll have to waste another 30 minutes playing and exiting the game repeatedly. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Didn't get charged up. Wouldn't go so far as to say this was a blast to play. As a casual gamer, this game is worth playing a few times but it hasn't killed my life anywhere near as much as Phantasy Star Online or Soul Caliber (heck, even as much as Evolution). Trying to get a handle on the controls is probably what's really keeping my interest in the game. You use the triggers to dash side-to-side. The X, Y and B buttons charge up one of your 3 weapons, and you fire with the A button. The analog stick moves the cursor. I've not been able to strafe (yet, if possible), nor can I dodge and continue to charge weapons up. You have to charge a weapon up minimally to do any damage. Aiming the cursor with the joystick is pretty challenging, as is gaging where to hit the ground with a missle if you are trying to nail a group of monsters. Actually, reminds me of that old Sega game Alien Storm or something like that (where the players ran around with Ghostbusters-type proton packs).
It's kind of fun to blow up buildings when you miss, which might happen a lot unless you're using weapons that lock onto their targets. The graphics are nice, including having your armor fall off as you take damage. Sound isn't too annoying.
The stages are sort of short (3 screens of underlings prior to the boss), and I've found the controls to be more difficult to handle than the enemies. One of the selectable characters does not have lock-on weapons, and I've not yet used him since my accuracy rate is low still.
This might be more fun with a second player; I'll find out this weekend. Definitely worth playing once or twice, so rent it first if possible. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Even better than the original. I just bought this game last month, and have played all the way through it, including the unlockable side quests.
I'm not going to write much about the games story here, there are plenty of other reviews for that already. All I'm going to write about is the game itself.
Anyway, after playing all the way through the game, I have to say that I like it even more than the original. The script is much better, and the music sounds much better on the GBA.
One thing that I particularly liked about this game was all of the new unlockables! After beating the game, you unlock a new dungeon to explore, as well as a really cool music player! If you go down to extra and select "Music Player" in the main menu, you can listen to all of the tunes and melodies that you heard throughout the game! My personal favorites include, Hey Cid!, Rydia, Theme of love, Chocobo-chocobo, and Dancing Calcobrena.
The unlockable dungeon, Lunar ruins, is very cool! To fully unlock every room in the dungeon, you have to beat Zeromus once as each character. After that, you get to do some really cool extra tasks as each character! I won't spoil them for you, but just having them in the game highly increases the overall replay value of this game.
Now for the pros & cons of this remake...
Pros:
It's the same old game that you used to love, but with some cool upgrades and additions to game play.
New Quick Save feature allows you to save inside of dugeons and towns.
Some of the text from the old game has been fixed so now all of the magic spells aren't abreviated. Example: Meteo has been fixed to read Meteor.
Has new unlockable Music Player and side quest dungeon!
The music sounds much sharper on the GBA, you can really hear the seperate instruments playing in unison.
This version has the old, unedited script, which is far more convincing durring game play.
Cons:
Unlike Final Fantasy Chronicles, this game does not include Chrono Trigger.
They changed the sound effects for some of the moves, and changed the names of some of the moves. For example, Meteor doesnt make that screechy noise anymore, (which I thought sounded cool) and Nuke has been changed to Flare.
In battle, there seems to be a lag in reaction time when pressing down the buttons... (You press the button, but it takes a second to register the command.)
50/50:
None of the graphics have been upgraded, but if you're like me, that doesnt really matter.
If you're like me, and have already played Final Fantasy II for the snes or Final Fantasy Chronicles for the PSone, buy this game! It's well worth the price! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
It's okay...but just not good enough. I bought this game for three reasons: 1) the good reviews, 2) the classes, and 3) I was dying for another game.
Let me tell you, I was disappointed.
My first and biggest complaint is the characters and story. The characters are just...there. The characters, not counting the first couple, have NO personalities whatsoever. Also, the story is a little...bland. Okay, you accidentaly change your town of St. Ivalice into the country of Ivalice, so what do you do? You go on missions so kids can play in the snow up on the terrorizing mountian......
Am I missing something?
I probably am. That might be why I stopped playing.
Also, the game is embarressingly easy. After a battle, all your guys are revived. Not only that, but your enemy is stupid. I bet to make the game harder, the creators plugged in the laws. But you can easily bypass that by hopping to different towns so it turns different days and therefore different laws. Also, instead of a straight grid, it makes it slightly diagonal to confuse you about which way is up and down.
Your budget is no problem, as you get lots of money on most missions and expensive equiptment for free. Also, many people complain about the ridiculous amounts of talking in a game; this is just the opposite. If you don't want to fight or do missions, all you can do is save your game and turn off the GameBoy. There's nothing else to do.
This would be a good game for people looking for drastically good games, or someone just grasping the idea of games that have games in grid formations. It might be just the fact that I played Fire Emblem before this one, as people who play that before this one tand to hate this and visa versa. Or it might be something different. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Durable and perfect for little hands. This was a birthday present for my 4 year old. This was my first choice because it appeared to be more durable that the GameBoy with the pop-up screen and stylus which I could just see being in two pieces shortly after purchase. This GameBoy is durable, plays games made of GameBoy advance and those that my little one had from the older GameBoy version. The screen is larger and easier to see. The buttons are just the right size for his little fingers. He absolutely loves it. It has already been dropped both outside and inside the house, but is no worse for wear. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
I don't ever write reviews.. read this. I never EVER write reviews so please read... Gunnar Optiks have been the best purchase I made since 2013! I can look at a TV or my triple screen setup for my pic without squinting and being blinded. Without gunnars I found myself getting headaches occasionally and my eyes feel like they are bulging out of my head, making me more fatigued. Honestly if you have the money do not look at them and think.. just find a style you like and buy them! You will not regret it. Yes they take some time to get use to and you may think they don't work but when you are use to them and then stop using them you will notice that they do work! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Exciting and good looking single player game. After reading the great reviews of this game I went out and bought a Gamecube just to play it and I'm glad I did. After finishing Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox, I have been searching for the next great game. I tried Doom 3 on my PC, but was unsatisfied. I also tried various Xbox games, but none were as good as Ninja Gaiden. Well I can honestly say that this game is as much fun, if not more, than Ninja Gaiden. The graphics are not quite as good as Ninja Gaiden on my 94" diagonal projection system, but I am trying to get the Gamecube component cables to improve the picture quality. Gameplay is good. The contols are well designed and the game is not too hard and not too easy. Save points seem fairly spaced. One caveat is that you can buy guns, health, but not ammunition. This forces you to choose your weapon to match your opponent and use it wisely to conserve ammo. I highly recommend this game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
fun but short. This is a must have game if your into the whole Kane series. Even if your not into the the whole kane/soul reaver series this is still simply a fun game to play. The puzzels are not that challeging at all but the fighting and game play are a blast. The bosses on the other hand can be difficult until you find their weakness but once you do it is like taking candy from a baby. If your looking for a challenging game I wouldn't recomened this one but if your looking for a fun game that allows you to fight in a mythalogical time, against powerfull and strange creatures, go for it.

Very engaging RPG. Final Fantasy aside, Breath of Fire is one of the longest-running RPG series around, and the handheld version of the first adventure gets decent treatment. Yet despite the re-appearance of the game's fresh visuals and unique play aspects, the lifeless narrative doesn't provide the immersive experience that you'd expect. Originally released by Square on the Super NES in 1994, Breath of Fire arrives on the Game Boy Advance with enhanced cinemas, but otherwise remains unchanged. You play as Ryu, a lone hero who can also transform into a variety of powerful dragons. During the course of Ryu's quest, various characters join your party, each with their own personal demons and diversions that involve the entire team. An RPG's lifeblood is a strong story, but BoF's narrative is remarkably uninvolving. You'll spend a lot of time engaging in mundane tasks-"talk to A, then B, then A again, and then C"-and navigating a series of seemingly endless mazes. Even the turn-based battles lack flair, except for the boss battles. Be prepared to spend a lot of time with this one, but a new Dash feature speeds you through the game and saves batteries. BoF delivers a tight visual and audio package. Colorful sprites fill the screen with arresting colors and special effects, while the soundtrack provides decent music accompanied by muted sound effects. Workmanlike controls feature easy menu navigation and responsive character movement. On the whole, Breath of Fire is an enjoyable RPG that easily kills spare time. Just don't expect a thoroughly involving adventure on the same level as later games in the series. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
It's compact making it fit very comfortably and safely in the tech compartment of my backpack . This controller has greatly improved my experience with my tablet and my phone. It's compact making it fit very comfortably and safely in the tech compartment of my backpack for my commutes. The controller is very light weight which makes it feel slightly cheap, but it's superficial. This thing is built well. The buttons all perform superbly with the exception of a slightly mushy d pad, but the d pad does work and gets the job done. Battery life is great. I mostly use this for my tablet, but I did test this on my cellphone to try the clamp feature out and it works really well. I simply prefer the larger screen on my tablet. The only problem I've had is very minor and given the price and all the pros, I won't deduct a point for it. When the battery is low or you bounce it from device to device sometimes the buttons you have mapped get reset making you have to go remap the buttons. Nothing major and for less than twenty bucks I don't care. All in all you get a superb Android controller thats compact and sturdy for sub-twenty dollars. Definitely worth buying and while I don't need another Android controller since this is so good in my opinion, I'd recommend beboncool products to my friends. Especially this model. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Too big, but they do reduce eye strain. From the picture, I thought that these were short, wide lenses. They are not. These are 80's Ray Ban style and look remarkably goofy. That said, they do work as intended and definitely reduce eye strain. However, I wear soft contacts and these large glasses block most air flow to my eyes, causing my lenses to dry out and I have to constantly blow air up to my eyes. That is a unique problem though and not really a fault of the gunnars, so I took a half star for the poor picture and a half star because these are not really that comfortable after a while. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
One of the best racers on the GBA. As far as racing games go for the GBA, the small library that does exist isn't the best. Thank Nintendo for F-Zero: GP Legend; another installment of the futuristic racing series that is undoubtadly the best of the series to ever grace the GBA. Offering a horde of different racers and racing modes, variety is the name of the game here, as F-Zero offers superb graphics and makes excellent use of the GBA's control scheme (since it makes frequent use of the shoulder buttons, it's actually better to play on an original GBA as opposed to the GBA SP) as you race throughout the varied tracks while trying to keep your vehicle from going up in smoke. The gameplay is simple and easy to get into for novices, while it still offers challenging gameplay for veterans of the series. F-Zero: GP Legend bares more resemblance to the classic original Super NES title than any other game in the series on any other platform, and next to Mario Kart: Super Circuit it's the best racer for the GBA. All in all, consider this essential playing. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Sega forever. when the system first launched i was a young high school kid delivering pizzas. i was also a huge sega fan and NEEDED the newest system big time. it was september 9th 1999
i had to drive 15 miles to the nearest Funcoland and waited inline for 4 hours during rain and thunderstorms to grab the sweet new sega system.. due to the fact it was raining
many people gave up.. i still remember hooking it up the next morning and skipping school to play the 3 games i bought launch night sonic adventure house of the dead 2 and soulcaliber. that was the best day of my young life.... i digress the system was well built and i was rough on it. i bought 40 or so games for it and i recently was cleaning my home to get ready for my second child and came across a box from my parents house that had my dreamcast all my games and many accessories. i gave it to my 4 year daughter and she loves it. (were a big game family) if you do buy a dreamcast they are built well so don't worry to much. in terms of memory the controller has a slot for a memory card called a VMU those come in several colors and are kinda cool.. also when buying on amazon check to make sure all the cables are included and the necessary
components are there. some games i would recommend
soul caliber
sonic adventures
phantasy star online (any of them)
world series 2k1
house of the dead 2
jet set radio
sega bass fishing
shenmue 1 (a bit pricy but amazing)
Happy gaming

Great. When I first ordered this game, I thought it would be tons of fun and would be action packed. And boy it was! The combat mechanics work very well and the game controls were good. It does have quite a bit of re playable value, The instruction book is written in Wario's perspective so even it is hilarious. The bonus hidden stages reminded me a lot of Super Mario Sunshine, which made me very happy. (Speaking of which, why did so many people hate that game???) The only problems are that some of the sounds in the game are very annoying and some of the enemies from worlds 2 and 3 are a little... odd. But other than that this game is a must-have for any true Super Mario fan. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Huge Waste Of Time. I am a very big MK fan. I've been dedicated to the series since it was first released on the home consoles back in Sept of 1993. That being said. I heard from alot of people how bad this game was,but as a TRUE fan of MK,I thought they didin't know what they were talking about and It really couldn't be all THAT bad. I was sooooo wrong!! This game is a total disgrace to the Mortal Kombat name. It's basically just Ultimate MK3,but IT IS HORRIBLE! You only got two buttons to work with,along with the d-pad of course,but it is SOOOO HARD!..and as I said,I'm an MK vet. I could not even get past the first fight. All Scorpion did was just block. Every punch or kick I tried to hit him with,he would just block. Another thing. It is almost impossible to pull off a special move. The cpu just kicks your ass,before you even have a chance to attack. Bottom line. This game sucks. You're better off just picking up MKII for the original Gameboy instead. Stay away from this worthless piece of little plastic!!! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Great thing to have, cords evil. My friend recently bought a Wavebird, and I got the oppurtunity to use it, and it was great! One thing that was fun, only for simple-minded folk like me, was to touch any of the buttons, control stick, or C-stick, a little green light on the reciever lights up, though it was only fun to bug my friends by making them think i was an idiot. However, it was great fun just to see what we could do with it. I had fun playing Mario Party with my hands and the controller behind the chair. Also, we tested it for distance, and we got it all the way to the back of his quite long back yard. We also went upstairs in his house, and went out the front door and down the street a bit. There is one thing that I found lacking in it though, and that was the absence of a rumble pack. However, without the rumble pack in it, it is slightly lighter than the original controllers, even with the batteries, and without them, it's extremely lighter. In summary, this controller rocks, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Rock N' Roll Racing. WEll this is one if not the best racing game that I have ever play yet I love mario kart but this game is so much more deeper than that you have to upgrade your car by wining races the air blade is one of my fav cars till you get the havac you racing is like a top veiw down just right for this game races are 4 laps long 10 to 14 races per division there are two a an b the goal to move on is win points to the next world there are 5 worlds the hardest you put it on the more world you play too enyway if you like racing games and have a gameboy what the hell are waiting for its that good Thanks for the read! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Not very good. This is not a very good item. First the problem is the range. It might work well out in the country, but my girlfriend and I weren't able to keep signal with each other on the same university campus (and we were only halfway across campus, about a quarter mile away, she was in a building). It also worked less than a quarter mile away from our apartment. Range is disappointing. The second problem is that both of our messengers would at random upon turning on forget our "buddy list", making it impossible to send a message to a sleeping unit. Makes the whole thing useless. Overall this product could've been really cool, but it felt like they gave about 63% of possible effort into making it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
OH MY GOD. After witnessing an atcual video of the game in action, I had only one thing to say: HOLY CRAP! Everything I had heard about the fourth installment of the series was nothing compared to seeing it in action. Graphics, sound, gameplay, everything I could have asked for and more. Even more surprising was the decent voice acting, not to mention the beautifully rendered cinematics. It's truly amazing just how far the development team went when making this game, pushing the Gamecube to its bursting point. I had already anticipated several gamers giving the title a perfect score but found some who gave the game an average score for foolish reasons. Most everyone complained about the camera view concealing enemies approaching from behind. I personally feel that this was intended to increase the scare factor of the game. Most of the time you find yourself too busy focusing on the enemies in view to even realize they may be coming up from behind. Another stab they made at it was that there was a lack of mobility while firing and the inablity to shuffle through weapons without the use of the menu screen. Please keep in mind that this game is NOT a first person shooter, though it at times appears to be. In regards to the menu, I don't understand why gamers wouldn't like to use it. The last thing I want is to be searching through my assortment of weapons while a chainsaw-wielding maniac is bearing down on me. All this aside, there is no reason why anyone of proper age wouldn't call this game nothing short of a masterpiece. Those who are familiar with the series will feel right at home and newcommers will be literally blown away. Resident Evil 4 is easily dubbed game of the year. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The GBA gets some original RPG love. I know I'm a bit late, but I'm in love. Generally speaking, I'm a sucker for anything that has experience points incorporated into the gameplay, but my enjoyment of this game goes far beyond that. The plot is a bit predictable at times, and the music/sound effects make me turn the volume off sometimes, but the graphics are lush and the gameplay really WORKS.
This is what the junction and GF systems in FFVIII should have been. A large part of the gameplay hinges on djinns, or elemental spirits which you must collect as you progress through the game. Once you collect a djinn, you must "set" it to a character (think of it as junctioning). This will affect what sort of special abilities the character has, the character's stats, their class, and, of course, what they get to summon in battle.
The most interesting thing about the djinns is the fact that you can combine different elemental djinns on one person to produce some interesting special abilities. Admittedly, some djinns do not do this when in certain combinations, but the idea is simply fascinating and opens up a very interesting avenue in character development.
Anyway, the upshot of this is, if you are an RPG fan with a GBA, you need this game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
DON"T BUY THIS GAME. Thought that would be a good title seeing as people rate the game & no stars appear & that is why this game has a two star average rating. Well let me tell you this game is 10 stars. From gameplay to graphics it really does not get better than this. I am middle aged & this game makes me feel young again. A tournament only takes two hours to complete & there are so many different games on these two discs it is insane. A masterstroke from EA sports this may go down as the greatest sports game ever for the Cube. But again do NOT buy this game as it is very addictive & may cause lack of sleep & other disorders I take no responsibility for. As for it being on two discs. WHO CARES. They could have used ten discs & it would still rock. Good luck & swing well !!!!!!!!!!! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Mario Kart: Double Dash, GameCube At Its Best. Mario Kart: Double Dash is one of the best games available for the GameCube. I'd even go as far to say one of the best games available for any console. If I could give this game 6 stars, I most definitely would.
The game has amazing gameplay with tons of content, and it has many different scenarios and challenges. Whether it's racing against staff ghosts in time trials, taking on friends in balloon battles, or simply going through and unlocking all the cups, characters, and karts, it's nonstop fun. I spent hours playing this game when I was younger, and I still love to play it even though I'm in college now.
Even after unlocking everything, you can still continue to play the game without getting bored. Since this is a multiplayer game, you can always find a friend (or foe) to race against or take on in a battle. There's numerous walkthroughs available if you simply want to unlock everything as quickly as possible as well (it's far more fun to have all the tracks, characters, and karts available). The game also has pretty good graphics, especially for its time.
This is definitely a timeless classic and will forever be one of my all-time favorite games. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Do You Have What it Takes to be King. Defender of the Crown for GBA was originally made for PCs during the times when CGA and EGA graphics were the only ones available. The GBA version is definitely enhanced, using better color pallette and some minor changes in the game. The changes do not take away the fun, however.
The background story goes like this: You are one of the six Saxons that Richard the Lionheart selected as his elites. After a couple years passed, Richard died and the land fell into chaos. The crown is missing, and with the Normans invading the land, it is now up to you to reunite England and recover the missing crown.
If this is the first time that you are playing Defender of the Crown, be ready for a pleasant surprise. You can select the computer's difficulty level right from the beginning, and then begin the game. The computer will automatically save the game once every turn is completed, so make sure that you plan your moves wisely. If you died or turned off the system you can return to the last turn that you've played before due to the auto save.
Your goal in this game is to destroy all the Normans before they destroy you. Sounds simple? Not really. The lands surrounding the Normans yield very high taxes while the lands around you and the other Saxons do not. Therefore, you have to be witty enough to manage your resources in such a way that you can overcome the Normans. You can win lands through Jousting tournaments, battles via Campaigns, or rescuing fair damsels in distress. Military units are basically divided into three: Soldiers, Knights, and Catapults. Again, strategize carefully since your resources are limited.
If you've played the computer game before (I did, and I really liked it), you'll remember for example that you go into swordfights under two conditions: When rescuing a fair damsel in distress and when you go raiding other castles. In the old computer version, you only had to fight about two people. Now you have to defeat about four to five people before you achieve your objective. Jousting now is broken out into point system and you can aim more than just the person's shield to win(like in the old PC version).
Overall, this is a really great game that I am sure you will enjoy. If I have to say anything bad about this game, is that it could be a little short. However, you do have replayability value as there are four selectable Saxon knights that you can select as your ruler, and each one of them has his own strengths and weaknesses, which will give you a different twist in the way you play the game. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
It delivers what it promises. Namco Museum sets out to allow you to play several classic video games on your GBA, and that is exactly what it does. The graphics and sounds are authentic, though the graphics are by necessity a bit small. The controls are simple and straight-forward, and for the most part, function smoothly. My only complaint with the way the games are presented here is that you cannot save your high scores. But that's a minor point.
So to decide if you need this game, just look at what's included, and see how fondly you remember them. Dig Dug was my favorite of the lot, and the reason I bought it. It's just as I remembered it, here, but doesn't seem as much fun as it used to be. Still a nice diversion. Ms. Pac-Man offers two choices of game play, either full-screen or a larger, scrolling screen. Perhaps not as addicting to today's jaded gamer as it was in its heyday, but still fun. I was never that into Galaga, but I'd have to say its the funnest game of the lot. Galaxian is okay, but pales in comparison to Galaga. And last and most certainly least, Pole Position (which I remeber being fond of when it first came out) has clumsy controls and is incredibly tedious. But you can make your own call on the games; they're here, just as you remember them, at a reasonable price. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Better than NFSU or NFSU2. I fell in love with Need For Speed Underground (NFSU) when it came out. At first I decided not to buy SRS because several online reviewers didn't think it was as good as NFSU. When NFSU2 came out I was one of the first to buy the game. Unfortunately, NFSU2 didn't live up to my expectations. Both NFSU and NFSU2 are great street racing games, but they lacked some of the "flare" that I expected from "Underground" street racing. I finally decided to buy SRS because I figured it couldn't be that much more of a let down than NFSU2. I was surprised to find that SRS is in my opinion the BEST street racing game currently on the market (as of the end of 2004). If you want a street racing game (and you are a teen or adult gamer) you MUST get this game! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Awesome. In all honesty I wasn't expecting the greatest thing since it's for the GBA and I'm not usually one that has the most fun with GBA games but I figured I'd get it since I already have a DS and you can play GBA games on them, I'm a huge fan of the Kingdom Hearts games and it was getting such great reviews on here. So I ordered and it was delivered on the exact day they said it was estimated to, so I was already quite happy with the quick service. I opened the package and started playing immediately after it arrived. I've yet to finish the game but from the very beginning I was extremely impressed with the graphics. The opening scene is one that could easily be shown in a high-end digitally animated movie and the regular playing graphics are amazing for a GBA game as well and the game play is amazing and very fun for me, another thing that had worried me about this game is that you have to use cards to do anything but this was beautifully incorporated and made it very fun for me. And to top it off the storyline so far is quite good. So all in all, I'd full-heartedly recommend this game, especially if you're a fan of Organization XIII and wish for a way to see more of some of their members, even if you have the PS2 version I'd recommend this. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
most strategic shooting game. this is a great game. it doesnt matter how good you are at video games your gonna have to have stragety skills. You go through 15 different missions. objectives include hostage rescue, disarming bombs, nuetralizing (killing) terrorist,shut down security systems, bugging areas (placing cameras) and other recon type missions, and more. there are 2 recon missions where you use 1 operative and the others you use a whole team which you choose out of a selection of snipers, recon, assault, and demolitions.
each operative has different abilities and charicteristics and is good for different purposes. it has multiplayer and you can go on lone wolf mode to play missions without a team. it saves your missions with 5 different memory slot! one thing that i mad about is that i cant find a way to beat mission 5. Its a recon mission and ive tried everything but i just cant find out how to beat it. ... | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
It's Final fantasy but something different. I hated this game when I bought it; expecting a awesome comeback for Final Fantasy to Nintendo. I was dissapointed to say the least. Yet I loved the music and graphics...the graphics were absolutely stunning.
Well - I just picked it up again after a long time and started playing it. I must say I am enjoying it - despite the fact it is VERY different. The graphics are still great even after a long time since it's been released. I also decided to purchase the soundtrack to this series. The only thing I wish was different that it would be alot easier to play the multiplayer mode. I am the only person I know who owns this game so I can't really play multiplayer.
Overall, a good series and much different then usual Final Fantasy games but with the complex multiplayer as well as lack of storyline, it doesn't measure up to the more popular and well-known FF games. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Not worth a buy. I rented this game an after an hour of playing it I realised that it was a mesh of different genres put into one game. But it really hasn't been done well. The driving mechanics are similare to those of gta, the fighting system sucks, and the shooting is too simplistic. The story is horrible on top of that and the main character is an annyoying prick who digs up cliche lines that are suppose to be humurous. It plays second hand to gta but it's too repetitive none of ur missions have a clear objective and u just run, gun and fight ur way through a fairly short game. The story wasn't even immersive. I cant imagine buying this game, give it a rent first. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
It Works. I Got Harvest Moon About A Month Ago (It Came Quick By The Way) And I Was All Excited, I Put It In And Guess What?! "Your Memory Card Is Full" So I Ordered This Memory Card, It Also Came Thru The Mail Fast, And Thank Goodness! My Game Plays Now! So Yes This Memory Card Works Good I Guess. However, I Went To Play Mario Kart The Next Day, The Same Game I Have Had For Years, And It Said "Memory Card Is Corrupted" So All of My Unlocked Stuff Was Lost! But That Might Be The Other Memory Card Its Talking About Or Something I Dont Know What Happend Because My Other Game Harvest Moon And One Of My Other Games Works Fine!

Most overrated game ever. Guys are you serious? golden sun tla get 4.8/5 stars? Why everyone rated this mediocre game so high is beyond me.
Positive
- I like the puzzle-oriented dungeons and the Dijn system
- some tunes are catchy
- at least better story then golden sun 1
Negative
- worst sound effect ever, really disturb me, the noise of a drill is a lot better to my ears
- graphic in the word map is laughable, the most deformed pile of pixel ever seen, the other in game graphics are no good either. battle graphic is pixellated almost as the word map. the exploration graphics are really overrated, repetitive and the color palette is too light.
- story is very lacking, childish, generic, cliche and predictable.
- characters are not interesting at all, a bunch of stereotyped childs.
- aside from the story, this game is 100% identical to golden sun 1
- arghh the worst thing about golden sun, the atrocious script. I nerver seen most long, stupid and boring dialogues like these. seems like the script is writed by moron childs... and for moron childs, the yes-no choices are totally useless and make the game dialogue even more stupid.

I have zero complaints with the product - well worth . I have zero complaints with the product - well worth the reasonable price. The only thing that stopped me from automatically throwing up five stars is that it took nearly an entire week for it go from ordered to shipped and meanwhile it turns out that it was sitting an hour from my home in the warehouse. I checked nearly every day and the website still showed them in stock after I ordered, so I doubt that was the hold up. Once it was shipped, it was here in less than twenty-four hours. I am reasonably certain that my complaint here is an aberration and not the norm, but in case someone else does order it and starts to wonder if it's stuck way up on the very top shelf of a warehouse occupied by elf sized employees that can't reach it, don't sweat, it will get there eventually. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Extremely Disappointing. I picked up Soul Reaver thinking that I was going to have something as good - if not better than - Blood Omen, the game coming before it. To say "I was let down" would probably make understatement of the year. The dismal world of Soul Reaver is more like an empty exploration game than an RPG or action game. The monsters are mundane, the hero is dull and one-sided and the ending (or lack thereof) is the worst pile of snot I've ever had the displeasure of getting from hard hours invested in a video game. Soul Reaver has it's few and far moments, but does not live up to the Legacy of Kain title. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A very sweet Resident Evil. If your all still mad that Nintendo has the right to the rest of the RE games well then your going to miss RE Zero, in my opinion that gives Resident Evil 2 a race for #1. Playing as Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen you search a train, an Umbrella facility, and other places leading up to the Spencer Mansion incident. Yes, this is before RE 1 and all the Bravo team members are alive. Personally Forest looks cooler in RE 1 (he's torn apart and becomes a zombie) than he does in 0 but oh well. The omission of the chests makes the game difficult since it was a key factor in every other game. Unfortunately for Rebecca and Billy, they can only carry six items each unlike Jill, Leon, and Claire from past RE's who can carry 8. Still graphics awesome, guns sweet, bosses awesome still. This is by far a great Resident Evil. The only thing I didn't like about it though was the Crimson Heads from the remade first didn't make it. Capcom, please include them in 4 and keep doing a good job!! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Wow, just wow. This is my first review, so I decided to pick the title that got me into RPGs: Golden Sun. This is truly an epic game in every sense. Some might say that it comes straight from "RPG 101", but it does things most other RPGs I've played haven't done or haven't had enough of. This game brings you in with an amazing plot (in my opinion :P), hooks you with a solid battle system that is not too simplistic, but also doesn't go out of the way to be over complex. The graphics I thought were amazing. (Remember when it came out.) They're not over the top superb, but in a way I like that, because they spent more time on the plot and character development than the eye-candy.
Let's start off by talking about the battle system. It's easy to remember, but doesn't leave the feeling that there should be more there. Going through menus in traditional turn-based RPG style, you pick what the party member does and they perform it. It's not an active time battle system like Final Fantasy VII, so the enemy won't attack you when your scrolling through the menus. Instead, it gives you time to pick your move without getting killed on the way by the harder bosses.
Next let's talk about difficulty. Really, it all depends on how much time your willing to put into leveling up. For those of you who don't know, that is fighting monsters in order to get experience points, which make your stats like hit points, attack, and defense better, thus enabling you to fight harder monsters. There were probably two times in the game where I felt I had to go level up, because while you follow the main story line, you get a good deal of leveling up done already.
One aspect I found cool was their designs for the monsters. I found myself looking forward to seeing each new boss and enemy just so I could know what Camelot decided to make them look like. Definitely wasn't disappointed.
Controls are pretty spot on. Battles are basically flipping through menus, so if your character does something wrong, its because you selected the wrong thing. In the world and the towns you control your character with the d-pad. Even when you have four characters in your group, it will still only show Isaac, your main character, as moving on the screen. The others will come out during important discussions to add on, but other than that you mainly see them in battle.
When there are discussions in the game, it uses text instead of voice acting. Thats cool in my opinion so we don't have to listen to bad voice actors and can use our imagination to create what they sound like. (yes i did say imagination deal with it :O) The plot is very interesting and kept me playing throughout the game.
Length is the reason I like RPGs over all other genres. rpgs are long and give you your moneys worth. Golden sun is no exception. Clocking in at 40 hours for me when I include side-quests, thats one heck of alot of car trips. It's kept me entertain for hours and is so good in my opinion I've beaten it 7 times. (I know I have no life.) It keeps you wanting more and had me buying the second a day after I beat it.
Most people already know this, but if you don't, Golden sun was originally going to be an n-64 game. When the gamecube was announced and Camelot realized sales of n 64 games were going to plummet, they took what they started , split it in two and finished it up for gba. I'm glad they did or I wouldn't have it.
Fun: 10/10
replayibility 9/10 (most people probably won't play it 7 times, but might a second.)
graphics 10/10 (for the time)
plot 11/10 (i know its not mathematically correct. sue me)
overall 10/10. A must buy for RPG fans, long road trips, people with gba's or ds's, and basically everyone else who has good sense in games. Hope you enjoyed my review and really hope you enjoy Golden Sun as much as I did. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |

Timesplitters 2,huh. Timesplitters 2 is by far the best 1st person shooter I have ever played. But if your going to bother playing a shooter it might as well be 1st person.
1. STORY 4.5/5
The story mode is extremely difficult. The best part of Timesplitters is that you play in many different eras as oposed to other games where you play one time period only. This allows a sensible escuse to use a variety of weopons. There are ten levels in this game and though that may not sound like much to you but each level may very well take you three weeks to beat.=)
2. MULTIPLAYER 5/5
As oposed to role playing games where you have to follow a pattern when you are playing, Timesplitters allows you complete freedom in multiplayer mode. There are many different kinds of settings your can chose from when playing in case you get tired of conventional deathmatch.
3. UNLOCKABLES 5/5
My favorite aspect of this game is that there are so many freaking things that you can unlock! The are exactly 126 different characters and you start the game about 25. There are also many different maps you can unlock along with comical arcade games.
4. MAPMAKER 4/5
In this game you can create a map that you play on in multiplayer mode. You can also create your very own story mode with this system.
5. CHALLENGE AND ARCADE 4.5/5(but very difficult)
The challenge and arcade leagues are pre-setup mini levels where you use a variety of skills against creative objectives.(such as shooting watermelons off the heads of scampering monkeys without killing them)
6. CHEATS 3/5
There are no cheats in this game that will help you during the story mode only add an extra twist in multiplayer. Such as cardboard characters, rotating heads, and silly hats. There is nothing funnier that seeing a fearsome mutant zombie running around with a spinning head wearing a shef's hat.
7. COMIC RELIEF 4/5
The comic relief is that there are joke characters. My personal favorite is the Gingerbread Man but this game also includes the Monkey,Duckman Drake,Calamari(a squid),Leo Krupps(a lion),and the famous Snowman.
8. THE TWIST 3/5
The twists are mainly powerups which include invisibility, shrink, max damage, and super speed.
Overall this game is incredible. and since the gamecube has only about 7% of the market good games are scarce but let me assure you this is one of them. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
From a Far Far Away Land. I bought 2 of these controllers so far and I think they are great. The best part is that since the controllers run on RF, I can keep my Gamecube & the games behind locked doors on the entertainment center and my little boy can't mess with the console or scratch the discs. Also, the cord on the controller that came with my Gamecube is way too short to reach my favorite armchair. Being cordless, this is no longer a problem. Battery life has been great. I always have the rumble feature on and I think I am getting better mileage than the manufacturer even claims. My only complaint is that after a lot of use, one of the controllers seems to becoming very worn out. This is probably the case with any controller but I haven't used any other controller with my system so I can't make an objective comparison.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this controller to everyone that has a Gamecube. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Game. ...I bought ZOE: The Fist of Mars for GBA about 2 weeks later (I'm a very busy person and the only time i get to play is in transit 1 hour and 45 min a day roughly) i beat it. Now i'm not saying that it's a bad game because i don't think it's 100% a game. More like 35% target practace/strg game and 65% Anime Comic book.
On the whole though it was an ok game, some thing diffrent, it's kind of like playing a game with a split personalty
Buy it if you've played all the good games and don't want to give into the ...[bad] games just yet cause they have nothing better out yet | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The best of the best arcade games from the early 1980's. I remember when I was just 6 or 7 at the local arcade, playing Defender, Spy Hunter, Roadblasters and Joust -- sometimes even using a sit-down, cocktail-style table. Back in those days, you could spend your entire allowance plugging in quarter after quarter, just trying to make it to the highest level possible. But it sure was worth it!
The graphics, music and sound bytes were very simplistic and blip-filled, but it never wavered from the overall satisfaction of the replay value. In fact, players kept coming back for more. The challenge factor of most games was sometimes unforgiving; it took A LOT of patience to progress through some of the games until players could understand exactly HOW the controls worked. There are 24 total games to choose from on this lovely Nintendo GameCube disc. I really LOVE the bonus content that comes included; there's a MASSIVE amount of interviews, trivia questions, galleries (i.e. which shows what the arcade cabinets or sit-down cocktail tables looked like), and histories/trivia questions on some of the games. I always come back to these 3 awesome Midway Arcade Treasure compilations at least once a year.
720 -- 3 stars; Spy Hunter -- 4 stars; Defender -- 5 stars; Gauntlet -- 5 stars; Joust -- 5 stars; Paperboy -- 3 stars;
Rampage -- 5 stars; Marble Madness -- 5 stars; Robotron 2084 -- 3 stars; Smash T.V. -- 5 stars; Joust 2 -- 4 stars;
Bubbles -- 3 stars; Roadblasters -- 5 stars; Rampart -- 3 stars; Sinistar -- 4 stars; Super Sprint -- 3 stars;
Toobin' -- 3 stars; Klax -- 5 stars; SPLAT! -- 3 stars; Satan's Hollow -- 4 stars; Vindicators -- 3 stars;
Root Beer Tapper -- 4 stars; Defender 2 -- 4 stars; Blaster -- 3 stars. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Shinobi: One of the Games That Got Me Started. Shinobi is possibly one of the most underrated and completely lost in the annals of history. It played like a Mega Man game in its classic side-scrolling adventure style, not to mentions the ability to switch on the fly to other collected powers. However, this game has something no Mega Man game had: NINJAS. Yes. I remember that my older cousin had a Game Gear and this game. Needless to say, I would go over for a family gathering, find the Game Gear, hide in an area where no one would bother me. I was 8. Anyway, from one gamer to any other reading this, I highly HIGHLY recommend not only purchasing a Game Gear (Infinitely superior to original Game Boy and way too ahead of its time, much like Tron, therefore, under-appreciated. Oh yeah, and it had over A THOUSAND TIMES MORE COLOR THAN THE GAME BOY!), but this game as well. Absolutely. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
An actual review. Def Jam: Fight for NY is a sequel to the game Def Jam: Vendetta, which was a great wrestling game. It had amazing gameplay, graphics, and some pretty good music.
Fight for NY has even better gameplay, much improved graphics, better music, more selectable characters, more arenas to fight in, and a LOT more violence (Vendetta was rated T, Fight for NY is rated M) One example is in the underground subway station battle arena. As you are fighting, you can knock your opponent into tracks, allowing him to be runover by a train.
There's also a LOT of swearing (in the story as well as some in the music)
If you have played any wrestling games before, this will be similar to it. Except instead of playing as your more traditional wrestlers, the characters include people from the Def Jam record label such as Ludacris, Fat Joe, Method Man, Busta Rhymes, etc.
As far as the game goes, you customize your character throughout the story. You can learn 3 out of 5 different fighting types which include Martial Arts, Submission, Wrestling, Kick-Boxing, and Street Fighting. Each style has their own pros and cons.
As you progress through the story, you can upgrade your character via the gym and make customize how he looks by buying different clothes. There are many street brands to buy from such as Ecko. You can also buy "bling" for your character. The bigger the bling, the bigger and happier your crowds will be. The crowds can help you out at times during fights. For example, if you push your opponent into the crowd during a fight, they will sometimes gang up on him for some damage or they will just throw him back at you, allowing you to perform a huge move for some hefty damage.
Lastly, each character has 1 or 2 special moves (called "blazin" moves). These do LOADS of damage to your opponent and will most likely finish them if they already took some damage. Once you activate your characters blazin move, a cinematic will take place, similar to that of the Mortal Kombat fatalities. Keep in mind these blazin moves are more violent and intense than any of the other moves. (For example, DMX will grapple your opponent, break their arms, and snap their neck)
All in all a good game if you're a fan of hip-hop / rapper / fighting / wrestling game I suggest you get this game if you can stand the violence. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Double Dash review. Overall, the game was fantastic. It's a good addition to the Mario Kart series. The wide selection of characters, karts, and combinations makes the game interesting to play over and over again. The one drawback to the game is the difficulty of the mirror mode, especially in the all cup tour. When you place first in one race in the all cup tour (Mirror Mode), the AI does its best to make sure you don't place first again in subsequent races. Or should I say, it becomes extremely difficult to win 1st place again. I might be imagining it, but the AI becomes fiercely competitive, even close to cheating. Everytime I win first place, the computer attempts to knock me over the edge in the next race, and it succeeds most of the time. And once you get knocked over the edge, 9 times out of 10, you're guaranteed to finish 5th or worse. Magically, all the karts gain exceptional speed except yours. It's very frustrating because the all cup tour is approximately a 40 minute race. You might start out doing well, but once you flop in a race, it becomes extremely hard to climb your way back up to the first place standing again, making a waste of time to play that particular tour. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Worst Pokemon Game Ever. Pokemon Colosseum is easily the worst Pokemon Game to come out since "Hey You Pikachu". In Colosseum you play as an ex member of Team Snagem who must use a stolen device to pirate Pokemon that has become evil (a.k.a. Shadow Pokemon). You search for these Pokemon in the Orre region, a desert wasteland not known for many wild Pokemon. You fight Pokemon belonging to trainers including Street Performers, hunters, Cool trainers, Reseachers and Peons of the Chipers, the organization who created shadow Pokemon. Once you have a Pokemon with a black aura swiped from a trainer you must open there heart then purify them. Once rid of their evil they can be trained and registered into colosseum mode. Unfortunly story mode isn't very long and can be beaten within a few days. The whole concept of stealing others Pokemon is a good change from catching the wild ones but this is not a very well done game. Not recommened.
Pros
- Good Graphics
- Great music
- a new twist on Pokemn
Cons
- Short story mode
- Lot of text diolog
- Only one save file and you can't copy or move game data from one memery card to another. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Just as I remember it. Puyo Pop Fever is the latest installment of the Puyo Puyo puzzler series and has been revamped with an enhanced game engine that includes the new Fever mode, a larger assortment of characters, and additional modes. The Puyo Puyo series has a long and cryptic history here in the States. While a mainstay for the puzzler genre in Japan, Puyo Puyo has been released in many alternate forms, masking its origins over here. Veteran puzzler gamers will recognize the game engine as the same exact one from the Genesis and Game Gear's Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and the SNES's Kirby's Avalanche. Fever shares a lot with many other puzzler games; Puyo blocks drop down from the screen, and players try to combine four in a row to send a nuisance Puyo over to their opponent until their screen fills up---you can also unleash chain combos for devastating effects. But the new Fever mode adds a definite frantic dimension to the game. During a match, you build up your Fever gauge by eliminating Puyos, and when it's full, you'll enter Fever mode, which gives you a screen full of triple Puyo sets---one well-placed Puyo can set off a unstoppable chain saving you from the brink of disaster or unleashing a fatal blow to your opponent. The only limitation Fever has is that it supports only two players.
Additional enhancements in Fever included larger quadruple Puyo clusters, a 16-character lineup (two of which are unlockable), four courses, Free Battle mode in single player, three default rule settings, the ability to edit rules for versus mode, and three Endless Puyo Pop "classic" games. While single-player and Endless Puyo Pop modes are engaging, they can only really be considered training for the Versus mode. When you play against an actual person, the gameplay becomes faster paced and furious. Players must learn to adapt and process enormous amounts of information in a split second, paying attention to their current Puyo pile, the next Puyo piece, their Fever gauge, and their nuisance Puyo bank on the top of the screen. If you don't have any triple Puyo sets on your screen, the nuisance Puyo bank will unleash its contents. This will screw up your screen, and you'll hear the annoying chants of your opponent's character as he buries you. The characters are all well balanced and have varying styles and strategies, and they seem to be well designed to annoy the heck out of you while you play. There's nothing like the feeling of doom as you're fixated on your screen while you here the chants of the opposing character making chain after chain combos. With single, versus, and three endless modes, and 16 available characters, Fever is as addictive as it gets. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
The battery really isn't an issue. Just for everyones knowledge, the battery CAN be replaced. Theres a flap on the back with a screw. If you unscrew it the flap opens and you have a rechargable battery (600 mah Lithium Ion). It is very easiy to take it out and put it back in. You can purchase replacement batteries at stores such as GameStop for 5 dollars. So don't worry about it dying in the long run, because its very easy to replace (and cheap). Also you can buy another battery if your paranoid it will run out on you while your travling. This most likely will never happen, because after around 15 hours of gameboy you'll be tired of it anyways. (15 hours because you probally won't have the light on all the time). And just for the record, the gameboy advance sp is worth the money (can't get enough of that 4-player mario bros battle!).
Brian out. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Short but fun. Well this game is a little short but a lot fun.
Graphics: 10/10 very good graphics, kirby looks very good
Game play: 9/10 you can have a lot of fun playing this game but you can't decide where to save
Control: 10/10 very easy to control
Durability: 5/10 the game is very short
Really if you buy this game is not a waste of money and you will like it, kirby looks good and there are a lot of enemies and bosses (some are easy to beat)and you also have some extras during the game (like museum and sub-games). Also the sub games are very cool you have 4 mini games and you can play with your friends but 1 pack, in adventure mode you can play with a friend wich is very good, but who have the original Kirby game for NES is a remake of it so don't waste your money in the other hand people that are starting with a kirby game is a good choice. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
If you're an X-Man...please stand up. X-Men Legends (released almost a whole year ago!) re-vitalized the X-Men video game franchise. In combining its quasi RPG action hybrid with classic video game button mashing it created the most comphresive and (errrr) LEGENDARY X-men experiences. Now with fans begging for more, X-Men Legends 2 is finally here. Worth it? You bet? Legendary? Not so much.
The game is a great, fun, and vibrant experience. Fans of the X-Men with jump right in and assemble a team of their favorite heroes. Folks not familiar with the history might not find this one as readily accessable (due to the lack of any history or set up). The graphics are clear and the voice work and sound effects have been amped up too.
But nothing is perfect. The game does lack the sense of story and purpose that Legends 1 presented so well. The players is thrown into this story with many things assumed and unexplained. Players who completed the first game may be familiar with the set up, but lots of action has happened with huge chunks of the story left unexplained.
While the game does allow you to pick from 15 characters at the start, the rosters seems a bit random and (again) unexplained. The inclusion of the Brotherhood characters is great and works with the some of the previous X-Men stories (in print and film). But the lack of diversity is evident. It would have been far cooler to have everyone from the first one back for round 2 added with the new characters. All the characters have newer and cooler powers to play with and props goes to the programmers for working well with Scarlet Witch's probability mutation.
Another issue is the cluttered presentation. The fonts are a bit same and some of the screens are packed full of info. A cleaner, clearer style would have been far easier to work with in game.
The gameplay works well and is fun regardless of the team you assemble. Fans with of course pick their favorites, but the designers worked quite well with the character roster making it more effective and efficent this time around. Each character will answer the call of other teammates and sometimes using certain characters will cause a different reaction with NPC's that you run across.
Even though the story is a bit weak and the playable characters may seem off, X-Men Legends 2 is still a great game with plenty of stellar qualities. Decent graphics, amped up game play, new items, more characters, and extra ablities all make this a worth while addition. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
My wife and I love this game. My wife and I bought this along with Luigi's Mansion and our Game Cube. We play it so much. We beat all the levels, and opened all the mini games, and play them all the time. SOme of the reviews here are right on, the levels can get very hard very fast, if you give up easily and don't follow anything through to the end, you will never finish all the levels. Those who claimed to have finished it all in an hour obviously didn't play this game. All teh hard levels are doable, and the unlocking mechanism, forces the player to improve at playing the main game while opening new games at a steady and comfortable rate. A good game for individuals, a perfect game for families. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
A strategy game with great depth. For once, someone writes a military strategy game that worth playing on a portable console. This game has wonderful depth. There are lots of nuances out how specific fighting or support units work, how they interact with terrain, and lastly effectiveness agains other units. Replayablity is great. You can play the same maps more than once. Some strategy games increase the difficulty by simply giving your opponent more resources. That's not particularly good game design. Advance wars doesn't do that, and apparently the developers of this game took great care in balancing the units, and thus, increasing difficulty is requires more cleverness. Wonderful game. I highly recoommend it. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Garbage. This game is a mess. It's got needlessly drawn out puzzles that are so situational and senseless you get pissed off just by trying to accept how bad they are. The combat is incredibly primitive and clunky. The controls are the reason why the combat is piss poor. The platforming is impossible half the time because you feel like you have little to no control over how your character moves most of the time, the backtracking ruins the already insufferable pace. When you turn the game off you literally start at the beginning and have to use warp gates to get back to where you were which there are a pretty large amount of and that becomes a problem when you realize the stupid symbols all look too similar and don't stand out from each other enough. The ONLY redeeming qualities of this garbage game are the graphics (for the time it was released anyway).The voice acting is phenomenal, better than this game deserves. The story is very enticing but a lot of people would argue that isn't the case since it's only part 2 of a 5 part series. And it has a unique soundtrack, though I'd hardly consider that a high point since none of its music is memorable. The only people who could enjoy this crap are die hard fans of Legacy of Kain. I like the franchise a fair bit but even I couldn't stand this one. | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |
Best Gamecube Controller Ever Made. This controller is very hard to find these days, I was happy to get one here on Amazon. My hands are always getting sweaty during heated battles of Smash Bros and this controller is the perfect solution. It feels comfortable and works just as well as a regular gamecube controller. The buttons are not difficult to press and seem to have the same spacing as the Nintendo controllers. I have dropped several of these several times without ever having one crack or break, very durable. The cord is sufficiently long and I don't need to use an extension cord to sit on the couch and play.
Every time I see one of these for sale, I buy it! | video-games_retro-gaming-microconsoles |

The multiman melee, the multiplayer, the homerun contest, and the special melee rule. The tournament mode is stupid, unless you do a tournament with it--I don't mean to be redundant but that is the only way to put it (they needed to add elements to the game as extra options in tournament--like different tournament trophies, records, stages, and AI enemies that are NOT playable and nearly impossible to beat).
