I was surprised to read some reviews for this game. Do gamers have something against the sun? We're not vampires are we? The creativity portraid through this games gameplay and graphics are some of the finest I've experienced playing Gameboy Advanced games.

As you've probably read through other reviews, this game has a built in light sensor. Depending on the amount of light recieved through the sensor determines the way you play the game. One example: The main character of the game has a light gun that you have to charge with sun light. Thats just one example but the whole game is built around the idea of sun light. There's many other great features to the game as well, including an internal clock.

This game is fun to just pick up and play anytime. I've enjoyed it, and would recomend it to any one! The gameplay is so much fun, it's not easy to put down your GBA.

Best game ever on game boy! It is about a boy who is known as the solar boy, the heir to the solar gun, and is the sun to the most famous vampire slayer ever. His father has been slain by one of the immortals and is inside the red scarf around the solar boy's neck. Now he must avenge his father and while doing so he must save the Moon Beauty.
Major Pros:On the game there is a solar sensor that pics up rays from the sun. The solar sensor is the soul reason for all of it's features. Your gun can run out of energy, and when it does if the sensor is picking up solar rays and if you press A, then it will refill your gun. Depending on how strong the light is depends on how strong the enemy is (strong light=weak monster...weak light=strong monster). The game is not very hard as most gameboy games tend to be, but it is not to easy to where it is boring. Major Cons: The only con is that if there is no sun where you are (if it's night)and no generators (generators give solar energy to your gun) then you have to wait till the sun comes out to recharge your gun and fight. Overall: BUY IT NOW! It is so fun! Rating: 10 out of 10
Hint: The solar sensor only pics up real sun rays not artificial light like a light bulb.

IT'S GREAT!

Okay some people diss this game cus its to hard to get sunlight or to charge your gun, or it overheats or things like that but its really not true, heck I live in Eugene Oregon and I manage to get more than enough light to play, I've beaten the game on normal and hard modes, and even here, in cloud country I had almost a full solar meter! and even when I did have a full meter, it took nearly two hours to overheat my gun. Another thing people seem to dislike it the gameplay, personally I think its amazing, and the sneaking doesnt dull the game in the least bit! It makes it more chalenging, I have a feeling people say its bad because its HARD not bad. So unless your not big on READING MANUALS or are incompetant im sure this game is for you!

Here is just a little tid-bit for you.
Django was really a old european movie. It was about a vampire slayer that normally would carry a coffin behind him. But the movie was so horribly gorey, i was banned in many parts of europe. I saw it it was kewl

I got this game about a week ago. I am totally addicted to it already! Now my favorite Gameboy Advance game, Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hand uses solar power to manipulate the gameplay. In the beginning, you set the time and the region in which you live. There are a lot of cities, so if you are close to them it really helps the gameplay! Also, how much sunlight you have affects the world in the game. In smaller levels and in Immortals' (the big boss guys) castles there are skylights to give you the advantage. BUT, they only appear if there is sun going into the solar sensor! Don't worry about nighttime playing! You can store the solar energy you get into solar stations for later use. You get power-ups for your gun like bigger batteries for more solar storage and lenses to use different attacks (The Luna Lens doesn't use ANY energy!). Also there are secrets only unlockable when there is sunlight. Some examples are the green, red, and gold apples.

Green: says- Sour!

Red: says- Sweet!
Gold: says- Mmm!

How much sunlight is going into the sensor determines how visible the words or secrets are. To conclude this review I will say one very, very, important thing...

YOU NEED SUNLIGHT TO BEAT THE BOSSES! OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BEAT THEM AND THEY WILL DESTROY YOU JUST THE SAME!

Thank you for your time. ^_^

FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok everyone! I'm gonna put it simply. Get it... Now. This game is awsome! My child enjoys playing it for a long time. The coolest part is, as my child says, is the built in solar sensor! Kids in Alaska do have an advantage in summer though. Either way I suggest you get Boktai, and hurry!

great game

the only drawback is that the sun tends to produce a good amouunt of glare off of my GBA SP, which sorta gives me a headache...but otherwise it's a great game :p

For a long time iv wanted this game for a long time about three months.I was exited to finnally get it, I understood it uses sunlight to play,I waited two days days to play,all the sunny days in san clmente The sun doesnt come out So I try to play without it because I wanted to play,and......trust me it doesnt work well.You need reeeeeal sunlight which I know.The gameplay isnt good,the graphics are ok.You probably dont want this game unless its constantly sunny.Overall,it isnt great I would not buy.I wasted money you should get sword of mana instead.

This game is absotlutly fun. It's hard to get out and find no sun in your backyard. This game is only fun if you live in a sunny climate. It's not an RPG but contains elements of one. This game is fun and is first to use solar energy. Buy this game if you live in a sunny climate.
