Sega Smash Pack from THQ is looking great on the Game Boy Advance. The three Sega Genesis classics that will be playable in this game are Ecco the Dolphin, Sonic Spinball, and Golden Axe. All of these games have been perfectly ported, they haven't been altered or cut short in any way what so ever.
In Ecco the Dolphin, there are many other dolphins trapped in paradise. Your main job is avoid all dangerous marine life while using Ecco's speed, sonar, and mammal-like instincts to rescue the fellow dolphins and save the marine world.
Golden Axe is a side scrolling action game with three different modes of play: Arcade, Easy, and Duel. The story is set in a fantasy world where you are on a journey to defeat the evil Death Adder and his minions. You can jump, slash, charge, roll, and cast magic spells to save your kingdom from evil.
In Sonic Spinball, you can play in 8 different levels to search for emeralds to stop the evil Dr. Robotnik. With fast, pinball action and lots of different power-ups and bonus games, it makes it even tougher to put this one down.
This game is a must for any big Sega fan. The three games are very different, which is good because you'll have more of a variety. I have owned this game for a week now and it's still a boat load of fun and I highly recommend it for gamers of all ages.
great

First Thing I'd Like to say is someone should seriously beat the person below me its spelled SEGA not SAGA any REAL gamer would know that. Any way on to the games, I'll Start with ecco the dolphin. Ecco is the story of a dolphin trying to defend the sea. It has very good graphics and will keep you playing for a long time. Golden Axe is about three characters trying to save the world from the evil Death Adder. You can play as any of three characters which are a dworf a big tough looking guy and a sorceress looking lady. the graphics are good considering the era they were started in the sound I think is pretty terrible but it grows on you, it doesn't have very many levels but it is pretty challenging to beat them all. Sonic spinball is pretty much just pinball with really good graphics and addicting gameplay. All in all a great package is here. and I'd like to know how they fit it all on tiny little cartridge.
When it comes out: buy buy buy!

This game is going to be the best game for GBA ever. I would buy it even if it only had Golden Axe. Golden Axe is the greatest arcade game. I shovel out my quarters at arcades to play it. It is a side-scroller in which you are a guy with a weapon and you basically hack at anyone you see. It is so much fun, I can't wait til it comes out. I played Ecco a long time ago and I remmember my self enjoying it. I have never played Sonic Spinball, but I have seen people play it and it looks fun. Hey, who doesn't like a good old game of pinball?! This is a must buy when it comes out. Like I said before: BUY! BUY! BUY!
The game stinks

Tisk Tisk I thought better when I heard of this game but the games on this cartridge really really stink. Sonic spinball was all right but Golden ax and ecco aren't that great so dont waste your money go buy DOOM on the GBA.
best games ever

I am looking forward to sega smash pack. I don't see why John Bell got 2/3 people to say that his review was helpful. All he did was copy and paste the Manufacturer's Description in his review. oh well:
Golden Axe is the greatest game ever. It is a sidescroller and you can choose from 3 characters. It is very difficult and the gameplay has a lot of variety. Ecco the dolphin is also a side scroller in which you control a dolphin a manuver through the watery levels. Sonic Spinball is very fun too, and has very good graphics. I can't wait to buy this game, and I'm going to get it the day it comes out.
S.S.P.

this game would be worth buying even if it just had golden axe (one of the best action games ever), but when you throw in sonic and echo too, this game is a must-buy. the only downside i can think of is that there are only three games. i'm sure the good people at sega could have done better than that. oh well. all in all, this game has three classic sega games that any old-school gamer will love.
even if it only had golden axe it would be a must buy

At the arcade in Tahoe I stand at the Golden Axe game for hours and shovel in quarters to keep playing. The levels are very cool, with excellent graphics and stunnig gameplay. In each progressing level the baddies develop and are stronger. Even the creatures that many of them ride on get stronger. Evolving from a lizard that wips it's tail to a dragon that breaths fire to a different dragon that shoots fireballs out of its mouth and so on. If you hit the baddie mounted on one of these and they fall of, you can get up on the creature and use it against the baddies. The game is even more fun when you play in 2 player mode. Its so much fun watching your partners back and comunnicating plans to your partner. There are bosses after every level who get harder and harder as the game progresses, but they are not to hard to overcome, expecially if you have a fireball spitting dragon on your side. There are 3 characters to choose from, and all of them have there own fighting style and magical weapons. The magical weapons can be used once per player a level and basical kill all of the opponents in the screen; in the super powerful bosses case, the magical weapon only damages them. All of the baddies have different weapons and fighting strategies, and as the game progresses they require more and more hits to kill them. The game has great graphics and I cannot wait to see them on the Gameboy Advance. You will find that you will do better with one of the characters, everybody is different, based on they're strategy. Most people, I find, select the beautiful woman, because of her tremendous looks to go with her quickness. She makes the game just that more exciting and fun to play over and over again. After all wouldn't you rather select a babe in a bikini over a fat viking? And don't worry all you ladies out there. There is a tall man with no shirt to please you. Everybody who plays this game will be hooked at the start. I also find thatonce you overcome the first level, the game is about twice as fun, so don't get discouraged when you can't beat the first level when you first start playing. This is possibly the funnest game I have ever played, and hopefully they make a good 2 player gameplay mode. I cannot wait to be the first one to own this cartrige on my block and show it off to all my friends. You should do the same. Just go and rent it if you don't believe how fun this game is, you will learn.
classics never go out of style
