E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Game Boy Advance

With the power and portability of the Game Boy Advance, players can help the intergalactically known E.T. "phone home" and convene with his ship before the wretched government agents capture him. Playing as both Elliot and E.T., gamers explore ten large, interactive levels, beginning with E.T.'s arrival and ending with the return of the spaceship. Players discover, explore, and complete challenges to the tick of a clock while avoiding harmful earthlings.

Levels feature isometric 3D environments loosely based on the hugely popular 1982 film and include Elliot's house and the moonlit forest. E.T. and Elliot must avoid the agents that are all around, in addition to other energy stealing critters. Tasks include finding flowers, building a communicator, and levitating Elliot's bicycle. A timer is always running and each level must be completed before the clock runs out. Health bonuses are available in the form of sweets to keep up E.T.'s energy levels. After successfully completing the first nine levels, players will have the opportunity to pilot E.T.'s ship and must land it safely to transport E.T. home. Three difficulty settings are available and a password save allows completed levels to be skipped when returning to the game after shutdown. ~ Jennifer Beam, All Game Guide
