Dark Arena, another DOOM clone . . . the difference?

Dark Arena is the ninth best FPS for the GBA, the first announced, but the fourth released for the system. Dark Arena is pretty much a Doom clone. What's the difference between the two? Well, hmmm . . . Doom is a better game. Dark Arena features enemies with zero intelligence which make them a breeze to kill even on the hardest skill level. The graphics in Dark Arena seem a little more bright and sharper than Doom but Doom looks better all around and is simply more fun to play. Dark Arena does offer a good variety of weapons, some neat looking enemies, and some fun levels but all of this is sub-par to the Doom games. Dark Arena is definitly a fun and welcome entry in the growing library of GBA games under the FPS genre but definitly a weaker one.

Don't listen to that unknown review writer!

This game, although it is fun, is not at all what you expect. I played it a little, and let me tell you, there are only 20 missions, like 6 weapons, and no rumble pak! I was considering buying this game, but don't do it! If you want the best FPS on GBA, definitely get Ecks vs. sever. It rocks.

Yet another first person shooter

This should be a popular game among not only kids, but adults too, as it has great graphics. It will have several weapons and maps for players to use. The game is set in the future, and will support 4 player multiplayer games, with many different modes. This is yet another game that is made by Majesco.

Not very good, Just kind of drags on and on

I bought this game only beacuse it was on sale an it was probably a mistake. you can beat it in a few hours and there are better games out there for GBA that are first person shooters. Like "Doom" is a good one or "Duke Nukem Advance." These one are more exciting. Dark Arena has a good story line however you don't really get to participate in the main points of the game. i paid about $15.00 for it which is about how much it is worth.

Ew!

I put down my Gameboy Advance half an hour ago, and I still have a serious headache from five minutes of playing Dark Arena. Don't get this game because it strains your eyes, the graphics [aren't good], and it gets a wee bit boring after a while. Okay, I gave it two stars because it does deserve some credit for being slightly fun for the first ten or fifteen minutes (just cuz i've never played the game before), but it does lose its edge. Don't buy this game. Save your money for something else--another video game (crash bandicoot or mario kart), a movie, clothes :O), or just for a rainy day!

It's a 3D game........ but not a cool one !!

This game is a good game game but it lets go of its intrest very easily because almost each level has the same game elements, such as: Same Creatures you have to kill and Same Missions (find a security card), its fun for the first 5 min. but then you find out that all the levels are almost the same and it makes you mad. This game features a password feature which is not COOL, but if you like 1st person shooters I suggest DOOM or
ECKS VS. SERVER or just wait for DOOM 2 or ECKS VS.SERVER 2.

Dark Arena is a pretty decent effort....

Despite its' similarities to DOOM, Dark Arena isn't a bad game. It's a pretty decent effort from it's creators. Better than what I originally thought it would be, honestly. If your a First-Person Shooter fan, its' definitely worth your time. If not, you might want to pass this one up. It's that simple.

NOT BAD GBA NOT MADE FOR FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS

I just bought this game today and I have to tell you I'm pretty impressed.It's got amazing graphics for a handheld.I did however I did find a few flaws that did disapoint me.The sound effects of the guns are pretty weak, and this doesn't apply to everyone but this game lacks gore.This game is awesome and really not that violent so if you want a first person shooter that is not to violent this is the one for you.Over all I loved this game but I think I prefer doom due to the gore.

You dont even know
