Video Game Reviews of Game Boy Advance SP, Flame
Customer Review: Good Value
Summary: 4 Stars
Our son has enjoyed the player and the various game cartridges we purchased for him. My only disappointment was that we could not use a multiple player option on the same machine. I think the old GameBoy's did that but this one requires another unit and cord for multilples to be able to interact with each other.Customer Review: Much improved system
Summary: 5 Stars
This product just gets better and better. The backlit screen is brighter and the system overall is a quite a bargain compared to PSP. Customer Review: my daughter loves it!
Summary: 4 Stars
My daughter is 7 and she loves her new gameboy. It is easy for her to handle and the screen is very clear. My younger daughter already wants one and she is only 2.Customer Review: The Best Portable Ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
This truly is a great system. The graphics are as good as a PSone, and it has a great huge game library with games for everyone. The sound is louder than my PSP and DS Lite!!! The backlight is very bright, and the SP is smaller than the DS, DS Lite, PSP, and PSP Slim! I have many portables, and for $49.99 with a great game library, this is the best!Customer Review: Spend a little extra, get a lot more!
Summary: 5 Stars
When the Game Boy Advance first graced the game scene, I purchased one because, like the Game Boy / Nintendo trend, the old dies out... much like the original GB, GB Pocket, and GB Color, each improving upon the previous release.
Well, I was pleased with the GB Adv., it had good color, comfortable to hold, etc., but it had a few downfalls. My first peeve was that you had to have a really bright light to play it in dim areas, and if it were too bright, you would get a great deal of glare. I ignored this because it was fun to play, and so I did, finding that it devoured batteries rather quickly. Another issue I found was that there was no direct place to put an adaptor, or at least, I never found it. Eventually, after a few years of wear and tear, the power button fritzed out and it reset itself, frequently.
After the GB Adv., the GB Advanced SP came on board, and I looked at it thinking, why buy that, I have an Adv., it works fine, so what?, it's a little smaller. Contrary to my previous beliefs, the SP has a whole lot more than a smaller size. I'm not sure what feature is better, the back light or the battery. I suppose, airing on the side of cost, the battery wins. If you have not already guessed/been informed, SP comes with a battery inside, which is chargeable, yes!, no more swapping out the battery, just plug, charge, and go! As mentioned, it also has a backlight, aside from the already bright screen; you can see it extraordinarily well! The SP is very, very small, as in, it fits comfortably in a front pocket.
However, there are one things (not even major) that might not be to the liking of a few people. Parents, siblings, other people in area of this device, the SP does not have a headphone plug-in!!! This might get annoying for someone who is taking this on a long car trip, or you could just turn down the volume, but some people love the sound, so, it's up to you.
All in all, I think I should have swapped my Advanced for SP while it was still working, but that was then, and it's all good now.
