I would give this game a 3. First of all, it gets a little boring because it's repetative and all you really do is deliever papers to the customer. But I really liked this game because it is like the original Paperboy. It also isn't bloody and gorey like many of the new video games. I would recommed this game to people who have played Paperboy before becasue they know what to expect and won't be disapointed when it's not fast paced and action filled. Paperboy is not for anyone under 8 because it might be a little to hard and take to much concentration. They also might find it boring. So if you like the original Paperboy, this is the game for you!

I was really disapointed in this game. It is quite boring. I bought it about three weeks ago and I really wish I hadn't got it. It does have some fun parts hawever but they don't occur very often. Overall I don't recommend this game.

A good delivery for the Game Boy

"Paperboy" was one of the first games that I had for the Game Boy and even after all these years, it's still a lot of fun to play. Your objective is to deliver a newspaper to all the subscribers. If you successfully deliver a newspaper to all your subscribers without missing any, you will get a new subscriber. The game is divided up by all the days of the week. For example, once you get past Monday's level, you'll go on to Tuesday. During each day, you have to throw a newspaper either inside your subsciber's mailbox or on their front doorstep. But it's not as easy as it sounds.

Along the way, you will encounter many obstacles such as a dog that will chase you down, cars, tornadoes, remote-control cars, and many other enemies that will do anything they can to knock you off your bike. However, you do have a defensive move that can protect you against a few of your enemies, and that is to hit them with a newspaper in order to stun them for awhile. Also, while you're trying to get the day's paperwork done, you can rack in some extra points by throwing newspapers at certain items such as your non-subscribers' windows, garbage cans, and trees. Just make sure you don't run out of newspapers. If you do good enough during the level and pass it, you will have the chance to go through a fun bonus level where you hit targets and have to maneuver your bike over ramps and past moving walls.

For the Game Boy, "Paperboy" has good graphics, satisfying sound and music, and easy-to-learn controls.

If you have a regular Game Boy, I definitely recommend getting "Paperboy" for it, it's one of the funnest games you could get and it never gets old.

paperboy delivers a good game

Paperboy for the Game Boy is the only Paperboy game I've ever played and it's a fun game. You try to deliver newspapers to all your customers and you can do it by either throwing them on their front doorstep or in their mailbox, while you get points for busting the windows out of your non-subscribers' houses. You can also get points by hitting other obstacles such as targets, trash cans, etc. Everytime you deliver a newspaper to all of your customers without missing any in a level, you get a new subscriber. At the end of every level, there's a bonus stage which can be fun, then you go to the next day. However, it's not as easy as it might sound. There are a lot of obstacles such as tornadoes, dogs, and cars to avoid on your way.

I'd recommend getting this game if you like the Paperboy games or if you like non-stop action games.

This game stinks

My parents got me this game as a birthday presant. I liked it for about 30 minutes but then it got boring. The game is basically the same thing repeated over and over again. It was not worth the money. I don't like this game very much because it is too boring. I don't recommend this game.

Boring!

Paperboy is an extremely boring game. Nothing happens, there are only three levels and I would only buy this for 8 years or under kids. This is a good first time game for little kids. If you're a "hardcore" gamer this is NOT for you.

Dullsville!

wow this has got to be the worst game i have ever played. I mean really who wants to go around and deliver papers for a video game when they could be on quests to save the world. instead of quests to get a good tip.

Loses its flavor fast

Paperboy has the same original outlook as the original game, but it grows old quickly, and has very little variation.

I play this game all the time
