AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 There was a GBA Sonic Spinball? Surely you don't mean that piece of garbage on the smash pack, do you? Actually, the original Sonic Spinball was kind of crap on Genesis too, IMO. But its portable so it instantly gets bonus points You ranked that turd above everything, though.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2006 If you haven't picked up Yoshi's Island or Super Mario Advance (aka SMB2), both have been re-released as Player's Choice editions. So they retail brand new at $20 bucks, which is sure to knock the used editions down in price as well. Surprisingly, I found out the Kim Possible 2 GBA game is actually good, unlike nearly all licensed titles based on kids' cartoons. I know nothing of the license, but it plays somewhat like you'd expect a good Batman game to play. There are some gripes (collectables you can collect for who knows what reason; relatively short; enemies go down with ease), but it has great graphics, control, a good variety of gadgets and large levels. I hear the 3rd game is good too, but that the 1st game and the DS title are passes. For an actual, DC-blessed Batman game, Rise of Sin Tzu is the best of the lot (Vengeance is a sad wannabe of the SNES Batman and Robin, right down to a Trouble in Transit knockoff), but RoST improves on it in every way. Don't confuse RoST with its console counterpart (which is a straight up beat 'em up), although they do share the same basic plot. I haven't played the GBA Begins, though, yet its 62% on Gamerankings doesn't bode well. Good places to check for cheap GBA games (if applicable): Circuit City (found the KP2 and Batman RoST games there for under 12 bucks brand new) K-Mart (stuff that doesn't sell often gets marked down after so much time) Sears (people probably don't buy games there; I got NES Classics titles for $7.99 new, Metroid ZM for $2.99, Mario vs. DK for $14.99, etc).

Sega Smash Pack had Golden Axe and Ecco, so the good outweighs the bad in this case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
