Shaman King
I got this game a little after Christmas what happened was I got grand theft auto advance and to be blunt it sucked hard. So I took it to eb games to trade it in and guess what game I got. That's right I gotthis game I fell in love with soon after I got it wich was five minutes. The game is fun and semi addictive.
It took me about a week to beat one file in normal mode. An I beat the game in hard mode in about a week or two. But overall the game is worth it even though sometimes it willllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll tick you off.

a must buy for sk fans and sj fans!
This game is absolutley brilliant i love it there are 54 levels in total it is difficult but fun you can use a bunch of spirits like bason lee bai long and much more this is the kind of game that you want to get if your looking for a long chalenging game especially for those manga readers id have to say i am the frickn biggest sk fan in the world so you might need a guide particulary the prima one so even if you dont read the manga buy this you wont regret it i would give this 1 million stars if i could!

A Fun, Challenging game
When I first saw this game, the first thing that popped in the back of my mind (after reading the back) was that this looked a lot like Castlevania, only with a younger twist.After playing it I came to the conclusion that this game uses the Shaman King Licence, but is and amalgamation of Castlevania 2 Simons Quest (NES) and Castlevania Aria of Sorrow (GBA).

The story here is that a Villian named Magister has appeared and is tryign to ressurect a dead Shaman King so he can destroy the Shamans.As Yoh Asakura you travel around the country tryng to gather pages from a mystical book to stop him.Armed with your sword and Spirit Guardian Amidamaru you take on this dreadful challenge.The game play is for the most part go from one end of the level to the other ala Simons Quest.Where Aria of Sorrow comes in is that you collect souls to grow stronger, and the movements are much more in tune with current Castlevania.

There are problems with the game however.
1: despite all there is, the game is short (first time through, took me roughly 4 hours).
2: Difficulty is way to high.You do good amounts of damage to your foes, but they do even more to you.Expect a lot of kicking the bucket, even as a seasoned vetren.
3: The monsters in the game are very simmilar.Essentially there are lots of enemies, but most of them look the same, and when you encounter something different, it goes through and kills you (Golem anyone).

Despite the flaws the game is good.I definetly recomend it to anyone, especially if you need something to carry you over until the Next Castlevania hits on the Nintendo DS.Be warned though that the game is merciless, but fun. ... Read more

Metroid Prime Contains it too besides Zero Mission!
I just wanted to let you guys know that I was reading the Metroid Prime Article and I found out that Metroid Prime (The first one) Contain this classic NES game too. It's easy just hook up your Game Boy to the Gamecube by using the Super Cable and remember if you have Metroid Fusion, if you beat it already you can now play Metroid on the Gamecube!

METROID VS. ZERO MISSION
WHEN YOU BEAT METROID ZERO MISSION YOU WILL GET THE FULL GAME OF THE CLASSIC METROID.SO SAVE YOUR MONEY ON METROID ZERO MISSION.

I have not gotten this
Let me tell you, I love the Metroid games. All the ones I got have great storys to each of them. I don't own this so I can't tell you what I think. All I wanted to say was to get
Metroid-Zero Mission instead because First of all, it has a great story, and second it also has this game on it. But you do have to get through it first. Or if you just want to play the NES Metroid without having to get through another game, then go for it and buy this. Either way, you'll be getting a good deal. ... Read more

Based on the game Turn and Burn for the Super NES, F-14 Tomcat is an air-combat sim that puts players in the cockpit of an F-14 Tomcat. Your job is to patrol the not-so-friendly skies and to shoot down any pilot dumb enough encroach on your territory. You're armed with a 20 mm cannon and a few air-to-air missiles to take out enemy fighters and transport planes. The game offers cockpit and rear views, as well as support for up to three other players via the separately sold communication cable. ... Read more

Fun Combat Flight Sim
This is a basic combat flight simulator. It is not an arcade style action game. Similar to the static simulators used at Naval Air Stations to train fighter pilots. This is a fun game to fill a few minutes of downtime and I keep a copy in my flight bag for just such moments.

The Game Sucks!
This game is the most generic looking and boring game I have ever played!This is like someones first attempt at making a video game.I had more fun playing the flight simulator on Activision Anthology.Every level is practically the same!Not enough variaty.The graphics should have been 10X better considering how little is shown on the screen at one time.The only good part is the sound(when using good headphones)and even then the lock-on sound is mixed too loud!Very irritating.I hate this game.

THIS GAME SUCKS!!!
This game was one of the sorriest game boy advance games I have purchased.Its not the sorriest and that belongs to Metal Bots. ... Read more

MegaMan meets Rocket Knight Adventures.
I doubt many people will remember that game, but Rocket Knight Adventures was a great Genesis game in the mid-90's. You played as an opossum knight with a rocket pack. Some levels had you running around, platforming and bustin' up the bad guys. Others were strictly side-scrolling flying/shooter levels. Upon playing Astro Boy here, that's what it reminded me of. It was fun back then, and it's still fun now. While you might be turned off by a game about Astro Boy, who isn't exactly what most would consider a cool idea for a game character, you can rest assured that this is a fun game that has tons of things that make you come back for more. For a handheld game, this sucker is pretty long. Especially considering it's not one of the GBA's many rpg ports.

The game starts out with a brief story of why Astro Boy was created. We then go through a training level where you learn all of his useful moves. From the simple jump, punch and kick to the finger laser and rocket dash. He even has 3 special attacks: the arm cannon, machine gun and EX Dash. The arm cannon is a beefed up version of the finger laser, taking out tons of enemies at once directly in front of you. But, you can be hit from behind, canceling out the attack completely. The machine gun stuns more powerful enemies and takes out the weaker ones most of the time. It's a great set up for bosses, stunning them and then busting out the arm cannon. Finally is the EX Dash, which isn't -that- useful compared to the other two, but it can be used as an extra boost for those hard-to-reach places, or to go through larger enemies later on in the game. What was impressive was that each of Astro's moves do come in handy on a regular basis. There were some levels where I had to use the EX Dash instead of the arm cannon because a massive stone was rolling my way. But after the basics, Astro goes to the city where someone's been kidnapped. Leave it up to the do-gooder robot to serve justice. The rest of the story can be complicated, as there are many supporting characters you meet along the way, some of which double-crossing you. It's nice to see that a lot of time went into not only the gameplay, but the story as well. I won't bother to give you the details after the first level, because there are A LOT of things that happen. At one point, you'll even fight farm animals in a bouncing tire. And the "ending" was a total shock, something I didn't see coming at all. But fortunately, there was much more. After this, there's a stage select mode, but you have to go through the stages one more time as part of the story. And you know what? I didn't care. The gameplay was so much fun that I enjoyed going back. Kicking enemies into others, knocking them around the screen. Taking out waves of oncoming robots with the finger laser one after the other. Thinking up quicker ways to take out the bosses, getting higher scores, sometimes not even getting hit. There was so much to do.

There are 2 more key elements in the game that are related to eachother. Meeting characters, and raising your stats. The Omega Factor is a part of Astro that takes note of everyone he meets, making him stronger. Usually after meeting someone (not all the time though), you can raise one stat for Astro. Health, Punch, Laser, Machine Gun, Sense and Rockets. All of these are important to making gameplay easier. Well, excetp Sense. You really only need to boost that once and ignore it until you've maxed out everything else. Health doesn't need an explanation, Punch raises the strength of your physical attacks, Laser raises how long it fires while holding the 'B' button during flying stages and how stong it is overall (including the arm cannon), Machine Gun strengthens its attack and how long it stuns enemies, Rockets allow you to dash in the air more times in a row, and Sense just lets you see in the dark. The cool thing about the rocket dash is that it lets you go past enemies and attacks. It might not seem important at first, but it's a very important stat to raise. Especially early in the game if you're playing on Hard mode. Yes, this game can be difficult at times. Some enemies kill Astro in one hit, other times you'll be overwhelmed with the enemies that you'll fall down once you get back up from an attack. And hard mode, for most people, makes it worse. I didn't have a problem myself, as I boosted the Rocket and Health stats right away, but the AI can get cheap at times. Some bosses get faster even, giving you less time to recover from an attack.

Graphically, Treasure did a great job as usual. There's rarely any slowdown, regardless of how many enemies appear on-screen. The arm cannon looks great, and reminded me of some of MegaMan's charged up blasts. Astro has very fluid movement, and there's some good detail that went into the enemies and backgrounds. No complaints here. The music...get this...there's a soundtrack for this game. Yes, a GBA game has its own soundtrack. That's how good it is. While you'd do better to play the game on the DS since it isn't stuck with one speaker, the music is still enjoyable on the GBA. A lot of tracks are memorable, and I still hum along some of the music that plays during cutscene where Astro talks to others. Sound effects are just as enjoyable, ranging from painful sounding crushes to high-pitched lasers.

I'm glad I picked up Astro Boy: The Omega Factor. I haven't had as much fun playing a straight up GBA game (no SNES/Genesis ports) as I did here. Even after beating it on Normal and Hard modes, I still go back for more. Making sure to get all the characters and going for the high score. Trust me, it's addicting. And I should make note that this is the first GBA game since Puzzle Fighter where I've played for more than a half hour at a time. No playing for a few minutes, shutting it off, and coming back to it later. I wanted to keep playing. And that doesn't happen much with handhelds for me. If I had the GameBoy Player for the GameCube, it'd be even worse. I probably would've beat it in one sitting. But pick up this game while you can. It's published by Sega, so you can expect it to vanish before the end of the year. Show some support for them, and Treasure, another fantastic company.

Astro Boy going for gold
As a review once said, it's worth getting a GBA just to play this game. From the very first level, there is a satasfaction with kicking robots into each other, before wading in with your cannon and blowing them to bits. The gameplay itself is very well done, although some of levels can get tedious at times. A nice feature is meeting the characters and gaining more power, as well as reading about them once collected. The bosses are very well programmed, you don't mind going back a 2nd time to lay waste to them again. Overall, a good game with the potential for a sequal.

I would give it a perfect but
A nice a little game, but it's to short I still don't know how to fight that pegasus guy and I beat it twice on easy the story changed, but he still wasn't playable. Anyways it's probably the best side scroller I ever playedfor GBA he has seven special abilitys which you probably already know I might as will name them. Theres the arm cannon,sensors,fingerlaser,jets,he shoots bullets from his (...),his life, turbo attack. Also sometimes it temporarily slows down. ... Read more

As the sequels to last year's Robopon role-playing/card-trading games for the Game Boy Color, the Robopon 2 games add better graphics, larger game worlds, four-player competition, and other features. The two versions of Robopon 2, this and the Cross version, put you in charge of a robot company. You'll search for parts to combine into robot companions that you can trade or use to battle against other robots. The two game versions are identical in story and gameplay, but contain unique characters and items. By networking Game Boy Advance units together, players can create rare Robopons that they cannot create in single-player modes. By connecting the two versions of the game together, players will have access to the complete set of Robopons. Four-player battles can be waged off of one cartridge. ... Read more

Ulala's cosmic attack #1 game
I heard that this game had bad ratings but i had wanted it so much i just had to have it.I started playing this game and i was amazed by the amazing graphics, funky music and outragous dance moves.I was loved every moment of it.I finished the game and it had an interesting ending.I loved every part of it and it is my favorite game of all time. ^_^

it is up to YOU to decide...
UGA is one of my favorite companies along with TREASURE because of their brilliant games like REZ and Space Channel 5 for the deceased Dreamcast. If you've played both REZ and Space Channel 5, then you will know UGA's refreshing creativity(I consider REZ as something beyond being 'video game').Although their games don't sell well like other blockbusters, their games stand as the testament of video game maker's pure intention of creating a 'GAME' in the video game industry... testing and experimenting their passion for the video games and letting gamers to share their passion; and that's where my respect for UGA comes from.

When I saw this Gameboy Advance version, I knew that it was pretty much similiar to the Dreamcast version by looking at the pictures on the back.I still bought it because I loved the first game so much...why not try portable version, right?
Well, frankly, I have to be honest with this one; I was disappointed.Of course, this is Gameboy Advance version... you are not gonna get something similiar to the Dreamcast version-

however,

First of all, they have pretty much transported the same game from the Dreamcast version.Although they have twitched some sequences here and there, it's pretty much the same game. So nothing is really new for those who've played the Dreamcast version.

Second, one of the reasons Dreamcast version was so excellent is because of Ulala's flawlessly, seamlessly executed dancing move(man, I don't know why but the way Ulala does dance is so,so.....let me put it this way; 'There's something about Ulala'); the game suffers alot when Ulala's trade mark of 'sexy' dance can not be executed with smooth motion due to console's limitation.

Lastly, I do not judge a game by its length except when game does not offer much to the player. The Dreamcast version was pretty short,meaning you could probably finish it in an hour.However, it was worth it because of its refreshing and unique experience I could have from playing it.This Gameboy Advance version, however, is a different story.It was pretty short, again, finished it in less then an hour. However, the same kind of experience I had with the Dreamcast version was nowhere to be found except few recognized scenes, which only brought my old memories back from Dreamcast version even more.

I couldn't help but play the Dreamcast version again after finishing this game on Gameboy Advance... and wow... and that's all I could say..'wow'

Well, I don't know- It's still a fun game if you are looking for some dancing/rhythm game for your Gameboy Advance; however, I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME ONLY IF EITHER YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE DREAMCAST VERSION, OR WAS ABLE TO BUY IT AT A RELATIVELY LOW PRICE.However if that is not the case, then I don't really recommend it...may be I could still recommend this one RELUCTANTLY(I'm usually very biased when it comes to reviewing my favorite games, however, this one just doesn't quite get my 'biased' view somehow...)

I hope that you would enjoy what UGA and Ulala have to offer!

PS: Make sure to play this game with THE HEAD PHONE! It sounds so much better!

Badder than bad.Not worth anything.
I don't write reviews, but this game made me start.I wanted to warn all of you; don't waste your money.

Waste of time and money.I had to try to get some store to take it back to exchange for another game.I told them it didn't work.They put it in a game system and no one there questioned me that it didn't work.They all look puzzled at what to do and if the game was working.I felt bad about doing this, but I felt like I was ripped off.I read the reviews here and thought this game might be fun for the kids.

If you like THQ games and want something involving rhythm, music or dance, then I would suggest Britney's Dance Beat (but that got poor reviews too).

One game that the kids love to play similar to Britney is American Idol.Don't ask me why, but they love to play it. ... Read more

Portable Fun
This is a good game if you want to kill 30 minutes.

You must play the Texas Hold'em tables until you are eligible for World Championship poker.Then save the code.Once you have the code you can play with the "advanced" level of AI and have a more realistic version of poker.

The game is not perfect, but the ability to see the other players make it the most realistic version of poker out there.

Fake cards!
My son played this game. Every hand, someone had at least trips, usually a straight or flush. There's no point playing this game if the game is faking the cards. You can't learn poker, and you can't even really play if the game is going to manufacture hands based on some hidden heuristic!

Fun to pass the time, but not for a serious player
Overall, I call this game mediocre.It's sort of fun, but there are several really annoying things about it.

The music is repeative, and the sound effects from your opponents (yells, coughs, screams, etc) are really, really dumb.I haven't found a way to turn them off yet, either, and am not sure that there is one other than the volume slider.

Second, the opponents are truly morons.They bet and bet heavily, rarely folding even with obviously losing hands.It's nearly impossible to bluff, as they almost always call.You can still lose quickly to them, but only because they make the stakes high and you may be dealt bad cards.If you fold when your cards stink, and wait for a good hand, in no time you will wipe them out.

I am a poor poker player, and just got this game 2 days ago, and have already won the World Championship and am up about 3.5 million dollars.Just to put things in perspective.It's high stakes against idiots.If you can get over that, the game is entertaining, unless you're good.

Third, while Hold'em is pretty well done, there are some oversights that make some of the other games unplayable.For example, draw poker and seven card stud are absolutely worthless.You have opponents that continue raising and betting, but you do not see how many cards they draw, and in the stud game there are no visible cards of your opponent.Maybe there's a trick into getting them shown, but I have left those tables and not been back, it is just not fun.It's playing in the dark, and just bad.

Another minor nit I have to pick is when you leave a table, the "map" of the casino always jumps back to the beginning, rather than remaining at the table you are at.So if you lose a round and want to return for another game, you have to navigate to the table again and again.It grows tiring for me to do repeative things, even when it's just 5 seconds or so.

Overall, the betting is unrealistic, the opponents are morons, the sound effects are tiring, but in a cartoonish sort of way it is still fun enough to play, at least as a kill-time until a better poker game comes out. ... Read more

Good but not great
This is probably one of the best DBZ games... not! I'm a DBZ fan and even I did not think this was all that great. For one it's too easy and you don't even get to face the Sayain thingys (green dudes that are planted in the ground). I give this a 4.15 out of 5 and a 8.30 out of 10.

LAME GAME!
LEGACY OF GOKU IS A DRY AND DULL ACTION RPG FOR THE GBA AND THE SPRITES ARE CHEESY LOOKING TOO! PLUS THERE'S STUPID SIDE QUESTS THAT WEREN'T ORIGINALLY THERE IN THE TV SHOW AND IT WOULD SEEM LIKE A WASTE OF TIME FOR GOKU TO GO FINDING A STUPID KID'S TOY BOAT WHILE HIS SON GOHAN HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY RADITZ! I GUESS GOKU IS JUST A PLAIN IDIOT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT!

too easy! a kids review
This game is kinda fun but too easy! Once i fought jeice and beat him in 2 hits! Vegeta and nappa are both even harder then freiza! Even raditz is harder than freiza! And its stupid because king kai teaches him the kamehameha move when it was master roshi that taught him that. And you have to do stupid side quests like save a little boys cruddy toy boat and find some crappy flowers. And you face your biggest challenge ever: a wolf! If you get too close to them youget your butt kicked! ... Read more

I HATE it!
Just to let you know, I am not a kid under the age of 13. [...]This game is totally not enjoyable. I mean who would enjoy a boy with no shirt on running around in his nightmares. On christmas day I was truly dissapointed to see this game under my tree and under some tacky wrapping paper. I was expecting the DS(not in that box) or at least Donkey Kong Country 2. I am not a fan of tak games I am not into magic and all that crazy crap. As I played the game, it was okay, not good but okay, but it got a little fustrating for me and I started to hate it. It is expecially fustrating when you run out of power and it makes an annoying sound when you try to doing an action using your staff. After that one day I stopped playing it. I let my godbrother borrow it (he is into that stuff) and he kept it instead, but I didn't care, it's not like I wanted it back. Overall this game has okay gameplay, corny graphics, and overall, to me it is between horrible and alright

This game rocks!!!
I really like this game and think it is excellent.The graphics are great and even though the game play is side scrolling it'll keep you occupied for hours with worlds full of platforms, bogs, spikes, blocks etc.
For the first time you can interact with animals and even though it isn't as good as the other systems where you can morph into them it's very useful and makes the game more interesting. For instance if you want to cross a bog you have to hop on a turtle to get across without dieing and if you have to get through a current hop on a bear to cross.If you need to get to a ledge higher up jump on a sheep, and you've probably figured out what birds can do.
The only thing wrong with it is that the rifts have lots of gray but it makes that up in detail.The best thing is all of the worlds give you many opportunities to use your juju powers.Here are a few things to look out for:
*If you want to cross a long gap to get to a ledge, block, etc. you'll probably want to use the spirit of air, this is extremely useful in the dream world because you can float to blocks hidden in the real world and find potions.
*Use the spirit of strength to pound the ground, break breakable blocks, and kill enemies
*Use the spirit of earth to roll and hurt your enemies. (NOTE you can roll, break blocks and hurt enemies but the shelled ones have to be facing forward.Also you can jump only not as high.
*Use the spirit of movement to teleport over thick walls.
I think this game is excellent and deserves five stars.

Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams.....
If you're like me, you love to play games on your Playstation 2 but you'd love to take some of those games on the go with you. Until the Playstation Portable comes out so you can do that and not miss a beat in your games; we have to make do with the next best thing. Which is games for our Gameboy Advance. Like the first game on the GBA, this game is a good companion to the console version. Join Tak in a new adventure, as he must learn all new Juju magic to recover the Staff of Dreams and defeat Tlaloc once and for all! Now dabbling with new abilities, Tak is creating a little Juju magic of his own! He's even working on mastering the ancient Juju magic of animal-morphing. Between possessing , and turning into different spirit animals,Tak's got alot to learn. It's up to you to help him.
I highly recommend this one...it's awesome. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Megaman Battle Network 3 has a few significant improvements over the past two games in the series, but the overall concept is the same. Lan solves puzzles in the "real world," while Megaman.exe fights viruses and solves puzzles on the Net. The battle system is still the same, and that isn't a bad thing--it is still the best live action battle system for any RPG on a handheld.

At this point in the story, it's been about a month since Lan and Megaman's encounter with the nefarious Net Mafia Gospel, and a new semester at school is about to start. When Lan and his classmates are invited to the seemingly innocent net battler Semi-Finals at ACDC Square, little do they know that a new, incredibly evil plan is about to be hatched!

The most exciting addition to the game, hands down, is that you can now make your own Megaman with segments of code that you gather throughout the game. Watch out, though: Do it badly, and you can get a buggy program. In addition to programming your own Megaman, you can still change Megaman's battle styles (just like in Battle Network 2). The end result is the best character creation system on a handheld.

In a homage to the Pokemon games, there is both a White and Blue version of Megaman Battle Network 3. The game is more or less the same, but there are unique cards, styles, and programs for each version--which makes trading and battling via link cable a real incentive.

In short, Megaman Battle Network 3 is one of the best RPG's for the GBA, and is appropriate for all ages. Fans of traditional Megaman games will also like the live action battles. –-Bryan Karsh

Pros:

• New Programming language lets you make your own Megaman
• White and Blue versions have unique cards, styles, and bosses

Cons:

• Graphics look a little stale--a rehash of the past two games

• New character available only in the Blue version
• Five new Giga Class chips, a new battle style, different enemies, a new boss, and more

Jack in!! (But be very, very careful.)
I got this game just after I started watching MegaMan NT Warrior for the first time (a few days after "Evil Empress Roll Part 1" aired) and I was a bit disappointed.I'd expected the game to be more like the TV show.Still, it grew on me anyway, even if I did purchase it the day they aired "That Sinking Feeling" (the episode where MegaMan gets deleted) and was really upset after watching it, which kind of ruined my fun on the game.The graphics are fairly good, but the gameplay is REALLY, REALLY HARD unless you're good at this sort of thing.But it can be fun once you've had a bit of practice.In my case, I had to keep looking for an online strategy before I could proceed.Surprisingly, I actually managed to beat the final boss twice in one evening, but not after attempting to do so a quadrillion times, restarting the game every so often.You might want to consider this one first unless you're a ravenous MegaMan fan.(I know I am.)

Megaman Battle Network 3
Megaman is awesome! This game is cheap and fun. I get very little money but this game is worth every penny and more. Even if you aren't a Megaman Fan I was not a fan either before I got the game. I have blue version and want to get White version now. There are different battle chips for each one so be careful which you choose. If you want a game with strategy and action this has both. My two friends who are both big time gamers and have had the game for 6 months coudn't do it so it is pretty hard. It's a long game but it's worth it. For those who have the game if you beat Alpha go to Hades where you battled Gutsman in the N-1 Chaud will be there. NETBATTLE HIM! PROTOMAN'S CHIP IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I with 46 days won easily.

Man, this is great!!!
This game is very good for anyone who likes RPG-Action Games. Good battle styles, good missions, there is only one flaw.
THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. You do some thing, then you chase a boss!!! BUT THIS GAME IS GREAT!!!!!!! ... Read more

Great graphic, Good gameplay horrible controls.
In the end the effort put into this game falls apart do to the horrible controls.They idea behind them seem to be to duplicate the controls of the original console versions.However, in then the controls become anti-intuitive making it difficult to truely enjoy the game.

The stlye of the graphics are in the same vain as those of the console versions, and do a good job of giving you a nice feel.However its all ruined by shady controls.

Good, real good
Like said before, this game rocks.The controls are different, but once you've played the game for longer then 30 minutes, the controlling is very fluent, and I didnt even have to think about it at all.The sound and music is 110% for a GBA game.try it with head phones and you just might be blown away.

mrsamlee's review
A great game. It is just like the original Dreamcast version. The controls are awkward at first, but once you get used to it, you couldn't see it controlled any other way. The music is shortened, but some contain lyrics. The graphics are fairly good. It almost looks cel-shaded. It included the custom graphic editor.

Best of all is the multiplayer. Grab a couple friends who have Jet Grind Radio, and you'll have a blast. This game's multiplayer is up next to The Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords. It includes races, freestyle skating for points, and timed tagging sessions.

There are a few known bugs when grinding up railings. The game is known to freeze on rare ocassion. A minor set-back for an otherwise excellent game.

This is a great game to take on the go.
