Dark Arena For Gameboy Advance Is An Outstanding Game. You are a secret-agent-in-the-future-cop built for fighting. Lets start with graphics, out of 10 I will give them a 10. The scenery is awsome! There are no glitches, as far as I know. The high tech cops look like machines, you can see VERY clearly! Very detailed graphics, you know where your going easily and can find your way. The next thing is sound, there is a different song on every level and when you get shot or find a new gun it will make a sound. Nice loud and shocking sound effects. Gameplay is so smooth it will make you sick. When a robo-X shot at me with a X-ray pulse conducter I ducked and rolled to the side, still shooting and killing the ugly monster.

Dark Arena is a great game for ALL ages, and I mean it! Very mild vilence, but at the same time, intence action. Now for the stuff that you need to know.

|4 Different Modes Including, Multiplayer, Campaign, training, and map creation mode.| |20 Different Weapons In the future and not. Example: Chaingun and spike bomber ultra.| |40 map in campaign, 5 maps in training, and in Multiplayer you can pick any map you want.| |15 Different Power-ups including, Full Heart, Black Armor, Shield, Magic Armor, Invincibility, and super fast running.|

BUT THE COOLEST THING OF ALL IS ON MULTIPLAYER YOU CAN PLAY, WITH A FRIEND, OR JUST AGAINST THE COMPUTER WITH YOURSELF, WITH A FRIEND IN "HAPPY MODE", YOU BOTH ARE ON THE SAME TEAM AND YOU GET TO PLAY CAMPAIGN MISSIONS TOGETHER, FIGHT MODE: YOU GET TO FIGHT YOUR FRIEND, TOURNAMENT MODE, HAVE A TOURNAMENT.

Overall I give this game out of 1-10 a !!10!! Why wouldn't I? This is the best game of all time, I bought Bomberman, Tony Hawk, Super Dodge Ball, Chu Chu Rocket, and none of them stood a chance to the bran new hit, (that isn't out yet, for you) Dark Arena that perfectly works for Gameboy Advance! (RUMBLE PAK INCLUDED!...) (I almost forgot, hehe)

Mmm Beer i mean F.p.s.

The best fps ever. in fact i had to write this after i bought it because so many people are dissing it. take my advice if you are looking at buying this dont pay attention to those people saying its bad. it has got to be the best fps ever and one more thing dont play it on easy if you want to beat it cause you can only beat it on hard or medium and watch out for Dark arena 2 because once you beat it it mentions a sequel.

You dont even know

Dark Arena is a fantastic game. I wanted a First Person Shooter that didn't require tons of thinking and puzzle solving. I just wanted something to relax with and have some fun with after a long day at work. This game accomplishes that. It has suprisingly crisp and colorful graphics. For those people that said the graphics stink, I think their expectations are too high. This is not on an X-Box or NGC. It's on a GBA with a tiny screen. I feel that the enemies have great looks to them and the weapons are fun and creative. The only reason that I have not given this game 5 stars is because there is not music during the game and I don't like writing down passwords. I wish it had a built in "Save" feature. Other than that, this game is awesome! All video games do not have to be extremely complex and difficult in order to be fun! Lots of games now are way too complex...So complex in fact that they aren't any fun if you just want to sit down and play for a little bit because it takes too much time and effort to get into them. Don't get me wrong, I like many of those games too, but that's not what this game's about. Purchase this game if you want a fun, medium involved, stress relieving game!

The only problems with this game are the controls and weapon sounds. The controls are not very responsive and the d-pad must be mashed in order to move around. This is especially bothersome when engaged in battle. The problem with the sound is the weapon fire. They are weak and uninspiring. the coolest sounds are the doors when activated; they have a Star Trek like whoosh. Also,the voice that tells you what item you have picked up is very helpful. You can also adjust the brightness of the game, and use passwords. The baddies are tough and trigger happy, and to use the map feature you must pick up a mapping device hidden within the levels. Also, you lose all weapons and items when you complete each level; except for your hand laser.

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.

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.
