Game And Watch Gallery 3 is a great game! All of the games: Egg, Greenhouse, Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros., Turtle Bridge, plus 5 hidden games are loads of fun and addictive. Plus, the graphics, music, and sounds are great. There are Classic and Modern Versions of the games. The Classic Versions are very much like the originals. There are also lots of hidden extras. This is one of the best games for Game Boy Color. If you own a Game Boy, buy it as soon as possible!

Nostalgic, entertaining, crisp graphics. I took a gamble buying this game without a review and thought it was worth the price. It has lots of replay value and easy, yet challenging at higher levels. Varied gameplay. Rewards kept you coming back.

This fun game is really great! There are five games, each with classic (old arcade) and modern (new video game character examples: Yoshi, Mario, Donkey Kong) each with easy and hard mode, and getting 1,000 points on easy modern will get you to very hard. You can listen to music, go to tips and rules, find out a secret and play it, or even earn five classic easy and hard games! You can look at museum titles, and this game is even better if you own one or two. It's very colorful, and when you get 50 stars, you see a very cute, rewarding animation. These games are good for many situations, like taking turns and traveling. This game's in brilliant color. There's a bonus to most games for experts. There's so much to do, it just won't stop entertaining you! Try Game Gallery 1 and 2 if you liked this, or maybe even 4, if they make one. I sure hope that they do!

Not even fun

This game isn't fun at all. You may have 5 sifferent games in the carrtilage but it is dumb. You play the same things over and over. All it does is get faster. I suggest you save your money. But it would be good for kids under 8 years old. I suggest that you buy Super Mario Deluxe, now that's fun.

It gets dull

When I first got this game, I thought it was kind of cool, but then a week later, it got really boring. It sounds like its really fun, 5 games in 1, but it just keeps having you repeat the levels. You get hidden games but those are dull from first sight. The bottom line is:it gets dull.

More like FIFTEEN games in one!

I bought this game without having seen/read any reviews and I have to say that I enjoy it greatly. It has quickly become one of my favorite games.

Game & Watch Gallery 3 is described as 5 games in one, but it is really more like fifteen. The first five games are: Egg, Greenhouse, Turtle Bridge, Mario Bros., and Donkey Kong Jr. Each of these games was originally available as an LCD Game & Watch title (the handheld game also served as a timepiece, hence the name). Each game has a classic (the original LCD game) and modern (updated with flagship Nintendo characters) mode, and they are different enough for me to consider them to be separate games. For instance, in the classic version of Egg, you control a wolf trying to catch eggs as they roll down ramps. In the modern version of Egg, you control Yoshi and use your tongue to swipe cookies as they roll down ramps, at the same time making sure not to eat any Bob-ombs. While the basic concept is the same, I consider this to be two games. Each game has two difficulty settings, and the modern games have a third extra-hard setting when you have earned more than 1000 points on a game.

An interesting aspect of this cartridge is the rewards system. While playing the games, you collect stars. One star is earned for every 200 points you get in a game. The stars open up new options in the Gallery part of the game, accessible at the main menu. In the Gallery, you can play with music, get tips on the games, visit a museum to view information on classic Nintendo games (you can see more stuff if you link with other Game & Watch titles), and view other secrets. After you earn 50 stars, you are able to view a cute little animation. While I am no where near having all of the stars, I believe there is a total of 120.

I said that I consider this cartridge to be fifteen games in one and the rewards system is where the extra five games come from. As you earn certain numbers of stars (I'm not sure of the exact numbers), you are able to play extra games. The extra five games are Judge (also a 2P game if someone else has Game & Watch Gallery 3), Flagman, Lion, Spitball Sparky, and Donkey Kong II. These games do not have a modern mode.

The best feature of this cartridge is the ability to pause a game you are playing and then turn the Game Boy off. When you turn it on again, your game will still be at the place where you paused.

Overall, Game & Watch Gallery 3 is an excellent game. While it is true that it can get boring if you play it long enough, it is still fun enough to come back to later. With the variety of games on the cartridge, it is an excellent travel game for long roadtrips/flights. Definitely a five star game.

It is fun

This game rocks! It is one of the most fun games I have ever played. It has 5 fun games to play. The Mario brothers game is REALLY HARD. I cannot play it at all. You can choose if you want to play each game in the classic mode (which is dull)or the new kind. (which is fun) You might enjoy Gallery 2 also. I enjoyed both of them and you probably will too.

Very disappointing

If you're into games at all, then this game will not entertain you beyond 15 minutes. Once you realize you simply play the same level over and over, the boredom quickly sets in. It was also not any fun for my 5 yr old daughter.

all must perfect

As i told you on my review for game and watch 4, i own this game.For my opinion this game should be the last game you buy in a while. There are about 10 new games in this game. You have to get a 1,000 points like the previous games. This time the gallery has more games to see than the 2 previous. In the classic games there are Judge, Lion, Spinball Sparky,Donkey kong 2,and Flagman. In flagman you don't have to get 1,000 points in it. Just read the booklet and see what it says about the game. But,even though this game is also the second best game like Warioland3. So if i was you i would buy this game as the next game to buy if you don't have it. BUY IT!!!!!!!!
