Video Game Reviews of Game Boy Advance - Arctic (White)
Customer Review: Great shakes, please give us a back light!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great little system, but I can't see to play the games! You have to sit out in direct sun to see the screens, and then the sun glares off them....hopeless.A friend got a back lighter installed, and it got a tiny but annoying flaw in it, dust between the screens. Now I don't know if I should get mine done or not. This is stupid. Why should we have to risk our machines to get something that should come installed in the first place?
Nintendo could just install a back light when they are putting the console together in their dust-proof factories and for the luxury of a back light that has been installed without getting dust on the screen I personally would be prepared to pay much more than the estimated three hundred dollars it would add to the price.
For shame Nintendo, whoever decided to put the GBA out without a backlight should be sacked.
Customer Review: What!!! NO BACKLIGHT!!!??? Unless...
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I love the GameBoy Advance, but seriously, WHAT WAS NINTENDO THINKING??? What was going through their minds when they decided not to have the GameBoy advance backlit. How would you feel if you bought a cell phone that wasn't backlit and the only way you could get a clear picture was in direct sunlight. I've tried EVERY aftermarket clip on light you can buy but they're not really practical. They are either not bright enough, have horrible glare, or don't light the screen evenly, and the ones that are bright enough are so heavy and bulky your GameBoy is hardly portable. It really annoys the heck out of me! There is an aftermarket upgrade out there that fixes this problem. It's called the Afterburner and is made by Triton Labs. You must install it inside the GameBoy and it works beautifully. It completely lights up the entire screen with a brilliant, even light. But it's not perfect either. The installation takes about 4 hours and is an EXTREMELY stressful and difficult procedure. I ruined my GameBoy trying to install one.
I suggest buying a GameBoy with an Afterburner pre-installed from a PROFESSIONAL. I bought mine at www.GameGrip.net and it works beautifully. Now I can play my GameBoy in complete darkness and can see every detail. It's awesome. I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!!!
Customer Review: A fun and convienent console!
Summary: 4 Stars
The Game Boy Advance is a really good console. It is very convienent for traveling, boring days, etc. The graphics and sound on it are very good, especially compared to the Game Boy Color. One of the best things is that you can play the Game Boy Color games on it. I also find that the GBA is more comfortable that the Game Boy Color, and my hands aren't as cramped. However, on some games it is a little hard to control, especially on racing games. An analog stick would have been nice. The thing that the GBA is in need of most is a mini-light. I often have to squint my eyes or hold it at a certain angle just to be able to see.
But what it boils down to is that the Game Boy Advance is a very convienent and fun console. It is defenintly worth the money.
Customer Review: Very Nice!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first played GBA,I was amazed! First, the graphics are really, very nice. To me,it was like having a mini N64 in my
hands. I belive this would be a great pick for all those adults who are having trouble finding presents for their kid(s).In my opinion, this console is the best!
Customer Review: does it really play all???
Summary: 2 Stars
Gameboy advance is really a hightech gaming compare to the past versions of gameboy's. Softwares are good and also the graphics. But when i insert my old cartriges on this console, i can only hear sounds and without the picture. So all of my all cartriges are useless now. another thing is the backlight nintendo should launch GBA with builtin backlite i usually get eye stains from playing it in my room, or they should launch a backlite gadget that can be installed to the GBa's screen.
