Game Boy Advance

Review by hyncer

"After buying, gamers will throw their Game Boy Colors out the window"

Hello, so your one of those few crazy people not sure weither to buy the Game Boy Advance. If your not sure, your weird, sorry, but your just weird. The Game Boy Advance will keep you away from your consoles and PC for a while. And I got all the information on this page to prove it.

Sound 9.7/10: The audio is amazing. It's clear, and loud. You will have no trouble hearing it unless your in a talkative place. And like every Gameboy, it has a sound controller from loud to mute.

Graphics 9.5/10: Amazing! Simply amazing! It's incredible! 32-bits is a lot, the Super Nintendo was 16-bits and it was a console! This is a 32 handheld! We've gone a long way since than haven't we? The score may be a little low, but I still love it! The reason the .5 was taken away because I knew Nintendo could do better. The next Game Boy will probably have a 64-bit. Than everyone will say that's the future of gaming and we'll throw our Game Boy Advances out the window. But we can't expect the next Nintendo Game Boy any time soon. Plus they called this advance. What are they going to call the next one? Game Boy Extreme?

Controls 9.3/10: Although this Gameboy supposed to be a handheld Super Nintendo, if you remember your Super Nintendo controller, you'll remember something: ''There were X and Y buttons on the controller!'' Well were are they? This is a handheld Super Nintendo right? I'd flop this score up to ten if they added them. Otherwise, it's good. A and B button comfortably reachable with your thumb on the right, L and R buttons easily pushed with your index fingers, and your left thumb and easily press the Start and Select buttons on the left. Your left thumb can easily press the On and Off switch on the bottom of the Game Boy Advance, and your right thumb can reach under the right side and easily turn the volume wheel. Your hands won't get in the way of your playing like the Gameboy color, because the controls are on the left and right of the screen.

Games 9.9/10: The games are awesome! Of course I won't put the reviews of the games here, but check the games' reviews themself. This is a Game Boy Advance Review, not a Game Boy Advance Games Review.

Overall 9.6/10: And rounding up to 10, i'd call this the creation of the year!

Pro: You can bring the system anywhere, School, Car Trip, Airplane, and Jail.

Con: Screen is Dark

Rent or Buy: BUY! Well if your STILL not sure, you guys are very weird, but rent it. If your a true fan of Nintendo and you enjoyed the Game Boy Color, buy this. A mere $89.99. In some places it's $99.99, but it's worth the money.
