The Gameboy Advance offers a lot more features to date than it did when it first came out. Original Features:
The GBA allows you to play all Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance games on the one system. The graphics, color, and sound have greatly improved over the Gameboy Color. And even when you play an old Gameboy or Gameboy Color game on the GBA, the graphics are enhanced unlike if you played it on the old system.
The design of the system is well done, making it easy to hang onto for extended game-play. There are also several colors to choose from, Platinum, Indigo, White, Pink, ect. Also there are exclusive store colors such as Red for Target and Black for Toys R Us.
You can link up systems with a link up cable and play with your friends, up to 4 players, depending on which game you have.
Also you can hook up an e-reader to your GBA and slide a special e-reader card through it to play even more games.
There are even more features coming out to the GBA.
Newer Features:
A recent game that has come out Boktai, for the GBA comes with a built in sun-sensor. If you play in the sunlight, your character becomes more powerful. Another newer reason to own a GBA is the new games coming out that require having a GBA to play multi-player on the Gamecube. These games include; Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and Zelda: Four Sword for GBA.
Missing Feature:
Something I find extremely tedious to about the GBA is there is no backlight. This means it is very hard to see your game screen. There are flood lights and worm lights that slightly help, but not nearly enough. Luckily, the GBA-SP has changed this and added the backlight.
Don't Like Handheld Systems or Are Torn Between Them?:
So perhaps you have a Gamecube, and don't like the idea of handheld games, but want to play all the Gameboy, Color, and Advance games the stores have to offer. Check out the Gameboy Player retailed at about $49. Attach it to your Gamecube, and now you can play all the Gameboy games of your dreams.
Ownership: I own the Indigo color, but they are all great!
Customer Review: The Console of a New Era
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently got the handheld(Indigo) from my brother in the US.The Gameboy Advance handheld system is cool and boasts a wide selection of games. Whatesle can i say but that with such selection you cannot go wron with this console. The built design is great and it's sturdy construction is a great boon. The controls are widely spaced for big hands and the wide screen is great for adventure games. The earphone socket is great too since i can plug in my discman headphones and listen to the game sound and music in stereo. The graphics are great...even better than the ones in SNES and since it is portable I can kill time while out on trips. Though some talk about the newer SP being better due to its backlight display and the clamshell design to protect the screen from scratches, I don't it's such a big deal. The rechargeable battery in the SP though may sound like a boon but what about mobile gaming. If the battery were to run out during car trips or plane rides ...then what? Don't even talk about car adapters....that's extra cash to be dished out...also when not in use the battery may leak and you cannot just remove them like in the advance. The battery pack also will cost a lot when it runs out and needs to be replaced.While in this model, you just carry some extra battery packs..Wollah... About the screen and the scratches on it, why don't the gals and guys just store the handheld in the plastic bag that came with it and pout it in the box. Why throw away the box when it can safely store your handheld. My cousin brother has a SP but he recently dropped it and the screen now just shows half of the screen and the other half of the screen is damaged. Talk about the clamshell design...huh? The backlighting is great in the SP but most of us will be playing the gamboy during the day and not in some dungeon or a cave for that matter....OVERALL
CONSTRUCTION-4/5
DURABILITY-4/5
COST OF OPERATION-5/5
SELECTION OF GAMES-5/5
FINAL VERDICT-Buy it....
Customer Review: game boy advance is the second most fun game system!!!!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a really fun game system compared to game boy color!!!I got it for chanukah and it was great!When my mom found out it had a bad light, she traded it in for a game boy advance sp so I woulden't go blind. I'd reccomend this system to anybody who also has enough money for a game light.Customer Review: GREAT GAMEBOY (ADVANCE SP)
Summary: 5 Stars
The new Game boy advance sp is great.If you get a opportunity to buy one, don't miss it!Anyone can play it anytime with the frontlight screen.It can show hundreds of colours at once.The slim design of the sp can slip into any pocket.With the multiplayer facility we,with our friends can play together. Buy it and enjoy it!
