This is a good game, but having to enter a sixteen character password is unforgiveable. The game costed.., it should have a battery backup. I was assuming it would.

Don't even bother

This game isn't even worth your time, sure it looks decent but it actually is a pain and tedious to play. It has a simple setup of: the car is centered in the screen, the track simply curves left and right. Sure you can upgrade your cars and build your own tracks, but even that is severely limited and restricted, (for example, you can only add turns on a small graph, and can't even change the background or music, etc.) Avoid this game at all costs!

Horrible

This may be a biased review since I'm not a big fan of racing games, but I think it [is bad]. I only bought it because it was the only decent looking game.., but that's all it is. Just nice graphics, but other than that, I can't stand it. It's comparable to those little 15 dollar racing games for 5 year olds with the picture of a car in the center, and you have a little steering wheel and the track just circles around your car. The handling is really bad, and you can spin out way too easily. Save yourself some money and frustration and don't buy it.

Rubbish

This game [edit]. It is impossible to control. The cars look like mini-vans. Pretty background though.

Why GT Advance is not that good

The game is okay until you get to the point when youre ready to save and you find out that there is a stupid code-password save system. It ruins the value of the game. Just get GT3 for PS2 instead.

No strategy...

Well, as you can see, I'm in the minority. Maybe I had built it up so much in my mind that when I finally played it (rented, thank the lord) I was set up for a fall. But I doubt that. I know what the Game Boy Advance can and can't sdo, and what this game failed at was well within the capabilities of the GBA. Firstly, let me say that, yes, the password thing was a Huge pain. 16 characters long, consisting of numbers, symbols, lower case letters and uppercase letters. For every part or car gained. Huge pain. But, of the things wrong, this was the least bothersome for me.

The graphics aren't that great. They just aren't. In the Select-a-car screne the Mode 7 rotation works just fine. Why is it so choppy and uneven during the game? And the track, tho it rotates nicely, has all of these hidden barriers on the side.

But what really bothered me is that the parts you aquire only affect your car positively. There is no trade off. This takes any strategy out of building your car, and makes the game more like Pokemon, where you simply collect all of the good parts, and whoever has the most parts has the best car. There is no creativity involved in stocking your car like there is in Gran Tourismo.

OK, that's my rant. I wanted to like this game so much, but I just can't recoment it. Also, you start out with and unlock all of these cars, but almost none of them are worth racing. Why unlock them?

OK, now I'm really done. Good luck and good gaming

This game is kinda cheap of course the graphics are great, but u need a good light source. The password thing gets really anoing but you can get good passwords from your friends to get good courses. I am a freak about kart racing games,so i do like this one cheat that lets you have go karts instead of cars. This is an ok game. If you love kart racing games,or like them just as much as regular racing games, I recomend you getting Konami Krazy Racers or Mario Kart Super Circuit.

Not what I thought it would be.

This games is only okay. The time trial and choosing a car were fun but the graphics are terrible. Stay away from the game. It is a waste of money.
