Gameboy Great, FZero Great, Package NOT Great

First of all the Gameboy Advance unit is awesome! I've had an original Gameboy and a Gameboy Color and this blows both of them away in terms of graphics, speed, color, and sound. So YES you should get a Gameboy Advance. Also, I think FZero Advance will be a classic game that every Gameboy Advance owner should have. It is AWESOME and seems SO fast like you're really racing. Even when a bunch of cars get on the track it doesn't slow down like the old Super Nintendo version did sometimes on the higher levels. There are lots of extra tracks and cars to unlock - it is a GREAT game. Now as far as this game "Pack", I would NOT recommend this game pack. First of all, the rechargeable battery that attaches to the Gameboy hangs down below the center of the game. It makes the game into a "T" shape so it won't fit in your pocket. It also makes the Gameboy thicker in the middle but it doesn't do anything as far as making the Gameboy easier to hold. It has an odd charging dock that has no LED indicator to tell you if you've positioned it correctly or not. As far as the carry case, it will hold the Gameboy nicely, but they didn't give nearly enough room for Game cartridge storage. And forget about carrying the battery pack, charging dock, or AC adaptor - this case has no provision for those items at all (you'd have to remove the rechargeable battery to be able to fit the Gameboy into the case). Finally, the little worm light worked for 2 days and now it won't come on. When it did work it made quite a large 'light bulb reflection' glare on the screen. Unforunately, it cannot be returned because this was ordered as a pack - I would have to return everything and I've already opened the Gameboy and FZero. So I'm stuck with no light. Also it is curious that in this "complete" pack they don't include a link cable for playing multiplayer games (like FZero Advance). The cable is cheap and would have been a much more useful item than the carrying case. My suggestion would be to either purchase the items seperately, or wait for a package that contains really useful items that are worth the money. I am so let down by this package that I can only give it 1 star rating. However, I would rank the Gameboy Advance 5 stars and FZero Advance 5 stars if purchased seperately from this pack.

An Awesome Bundle For An Awesome System!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best handheld system ever made! All the acsessories are a must, especially the power pack Ex, so you can take it anywhere without batteries. F-zero is probably the best launch title. There are 3 difficulty settings, three cups, and 4 different cars. You can also unlock more cars, cups, and settings if you play well. If you have never played an F- zero game before, your'e in for a shock. You can actually feel the speed. The collision bar makes the game even more challenging. This system is like a TV gaming system that can come anywhere with you. If you are a fan of nintendo, you'll love this incredible bundle!

While it has very good graphics, for a portible, there are some definate problems with it. It is very difficult to see if you take it out side, although a light may help. On this gameboy they removed the port that allows you to plug a powercord into the gameboy, though many of the rechargable batteries have included the port on the battery pack. Also the buttons are very small so for prolonged use your hands get very sore.

This games RULE!

Nintendo GBA is a modern Marvel; it not only plays the latest games but also all older compatible GameBoy ones! The GBA games have vastly improved since the last generation of GameBoy, both in speed, game memory and graphics - it truly makes this machine a portable entertainment system for all ages and not just younger kids as was the case with GameBoy. Some people like to compare the machine to an older SNES, but I would rather compare the machine to above that of a PlayStation - we have only just seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to games on this machine. When we compare and add up the entire year worth of trips to the cinema, then this is truly low cost entertainment.

good game good system good price

This is a great bundle there is a wormlight so you can play it in the dark . There is a carrying case so you can take it any place you want to. There is a great game it is very fun it has very good graphics for a handheld system and F-ZEro has a great amount of tracks and chalinging courses. And it is only 149.99. So if you want a great system for a great price this is a must buy for you.

The new game boy advance is just been released and here is apicture of it ... Cool huh? Well it has got a 32 bit screen and two new buttons, L and R, instead of 10 hours of battery power like the game boy color it has 15 hours of battery power. COOL! It's the smallest game boy ever made!......... Jack Ryder ...

Great package worth every penny!

If you are looking for a game that kids from 9+ will love I recommend this package. F-Zero has been revised from the last F-Zero, N64 version, so that you have more selection of cars. There are also new tracks to explore. If it was on a 1-10 scale I would give it a 9. I hope you have as much fun as I had playing it.

Gameboy Advance is awesome

I don't know what's with this guy below me. But I have an import GBA, and let me tell you. It kicks booty! It's a great handheld little system and F-Zero is supposed to be awesome! Don't listen to him below me. He probably just bought a Neo-Geo and is mad that they took it out of the U.S. Even if it was so great, don't buy one, they don't support it anymore. So Please, buy a GBA! it's a great system!
