Game Boy Advance: The Next Generation

The Game Boy Advance is the next generation in hand held consoles. With its 32 bit technology, the graphics almost look as good as the SNES. Have you ever been on a long car trip or totally boring "dinner with Grandma?" Well, the game boy advance is the thing for you. Weighing in at 5 ounces, you can easily play under the table. What about the light you ask? You won't have a problem with the glare like with the other versions of the Game Boy, but it will be darker. That's why Nintendo developed the Worm Light. Brilliant idea ain't it. And you won't have to worry about wearing headphones either. The Game Boy Advance comes with Stereo, not mono, and you won't hear those annoying beeps and blots. You'll hear music, the roaring of those engines, and the sweet sound of grindes on the skateboard.The Gameboy Advance is perfect for the kid who just wants something fun to do on boring days.

The GameBoy Advance is the coolest thing yet in handheld gaming. The GBA has great sound, great graphics, great gameplay, a bigger screen, and many other features. Although it has a 32-bit Cpu, its graphic capabilty isn't as good as the Playstaion or Sega Saturn. But, its still a wonderful system. Like another review says, its great for plane and car trips. It gets the hours to fly by. Thank God there are no more beeps for sound, the sound on the GBA is now stereo and not Mono. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is just plain...WOW. I love the game and I think everyone else will too. Its sort of hard to see at times, and the wormlight works good in those situations. Super Mario is also a blast, and even better with multi-player. All I can say is but this package,it is definitely worth the price .

Hmm, I wonder when Sony will come out with a Handheld? Ahh, the possibilites...

IT ROCKS!

This system and the games and hardware that come along with it is worth every last penny. The graphics on Game Boy Advance are approximately 4 times better than Game Boy Color. The classic Mario game packs in hours and hours of fun along with Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. The worm light is great for night play, and the carrying case is great for playing on the go.

If you own any of the previous Game Boy systems, you can use those games in your Game Boy Advance. Another useful feature that Game Boy Advance has is that you can play with your friends (who would also have a Game Boy Advance) by using a link cable. If the sound of the Game Boy Advance annoys others, you can simply plug in a headphones for a great personal gaming experience.

Great Deal

The Game Boy Advance is a great deal. It offers 32-bit gameplay from the new Advance games and the same gameplay from the older games. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical at first but the images produced are so crisp and full of vibrant color. This is far superior to the Super Nintendo that Nintendo compares it to. I got two games with this, Mario Advance which has much more to offer than the NES and SNES version, it has more enemies and much more beautiful graphics, and also great sound and even voice, almost too much. The other game I got was Tony Hawk 2 which is pretty much just like the Playstation version but at a fixed view point. These are just a few games that I have played and there are many many more coming out. If you want a great deal on a very fun portable gaming system this is what you should get. This system is so popular already the first production of 500,000 has already sold out and I've even seen them on Ebay for up to $150 for just the system. Buy this, it is an excellent deal.

Advance is Putting it Lightly

Game Boy Advance offers a plethora of super powered features that make playing games on this portable system delightful. For example, the playing screen is much larger than the system's predecessors, the orginal Gameboy and Gameboy Color. While the screen is larger, Nintendo has made sure to make Advance as light and portable as its other wireless systems. Further, the power in this little gaming computer will amaze children and grownups alike. Game Boy Advance has even more power than the Super Nintendo that enjoyed certain popularity in the mid-90's. This beefed up power insures rapid character movement and a plethora of vibrant game colors.

The only drawback that I have found to date concerns the game screen not being backlit. While you can easily purchase a "Worm Light" for the system for a mere ... that will enable appropriate lighting for game play, be aware that there are tons of different Worm Lights on the market, and not all of them are compatible with Gameboy Advance. Therefore, look specifically for Worm Light PLUS.

Other cool accessories include a super-charged battery pack that allows users to play the system for over ten hours without running out of energy.

Game Boy Advance...Is it worth it?

I bought my GBA a few days ago and also bought Tony Hawk, Mario, and F-Zero. The price seemed fare especially for the system itself. Don't think that the price will go down. GBC hasn't gone done in price sinse its debut almost 4 years ago. Even after GBA hit the stores.

The refresh rate for all if these games was exceptional and the graphics were stunning. Sound has been much improved by the headphone jack that can transmit stereo and dolby surround sound as well! The actual system itself is quite small and compact which is good so it fits in one's pocket. The screen has also been improved as it is wider then GBC. Sprites and close to 3D graphics are displayed on the screen as the hot titles are played. There are already 3-4 FPS(First Person Shooters) in production already including Doom.

Of course every system has its drawbacks. The screen is very refelctive so you can see yourself quite easily while gaming. Also, the screen only works well in controlled light and a lot of it. A worm light or equivalent works well.

I bought this system because i wanted something to do during long airplane trips and car rides. I recommend it to the active traveler and gamer. Nintendo has hit the jackpot!

Awesome Savings!!
