Check 6! You've got a MIG on your tail
Pros: Awesome gameplay
Cons: No save mode - Codes
If you ever wanted to be a fighter pilot and need that nuckle whitening - Hands on Stick and Throttle challenge, then this is your game.
Don't expect super realism. This is the handheld version of being a fighter jock and on a Gameboy, no less.
Great game play, keeps you entertained for hours. Only negative is that it doesn't offer you the ability to save missions. At the completion of the mission, you are given a code. So have pencil and paper ready.
Otherwise, lock on, Fox 2, Fox 2, Guns...Guns...Guns.
Or if you are unlucky. Eject, Eject, Eject. ... -

Pretty Good for the GBA
Going from 3d to a 2d scroller, this is one of the best ports to the Gameboy Advance! Worth a look! -

BORING
This game is a boring slasher with limited interest. Simple quests. If you are a 10 year old, it will blow you socks off. If you are older than 10, then this game sucks. ... -

I thought it was cool but now I think its DUMB
18 of 22 Yahoo! Users found this review helpful When I first got the replay tv 5040, I thought it would be cool, but the headaches with setting it up to sync with your cable/sat provider was nearly impossible and to make things worst the $9.95/mo fee or the one time $250 fee makes this device a piece of CRAP.
The picture quality is only AVERAGE with lots of digital pixelization. Its by no means SUPER clear. It looks like a bad VCD even on high quality.
DONT BUY IT YOULL NEVER GET ANY VALUE OUT OF THIS PIECE OF JUNK. ESPECIALLY PAYING $9.95 a month with HORRIBLE CUSTOMER CARE ... -
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider -- The Prophecy Game Boy Advance

Rocking Lara
Lara Croft will always be everyones favorite adventurer.
In this Gameboy Advance incarnation, she takes on the same foes and explores the world.
The controls are easy to master and the graphics are pretty okay to good. However, dont expect to see a super crisp image of Lara. She is about 50 pixels high and sometimes gets lost in the background.
Her twin 45 caliber pistols sound wimpy and no matter how hard you try, those guns just dont have the same effect as youd expect. Minor disappointment.
Sound is good. Better than expected.
This game is a lot of fun. Violence is mainly directed towards mummies, animals and other creatures. Mild. No blood. ... -

More of the same
0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpful I dont know why I got this one after no liking the first GBA incarnation of the game.
More of the same. Some new maps. Thats it. If I get another one based on Lord of the Rings, please, someone drop something heavy on me. ... -

Not very good
0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpful This game follows the book and its just too lame. If you saw the movie, why play this game? There isnt anything interesting and you get to play one of those midgets.
Save your money. ... -

Godzilla rocks
Godzilla fans will love this game. Even kids who never saw the old cheeze factor Japanese movies.
This game is fun and halarious. Getting Godzilla to breath nuclear fire is cool.
The sounds are true to the original game and the only negatives come up when playing in story mode. Its slow to skip over the overly long text and the controls are a little less than straight forward.
Other than that, its a lot of fun ... -

SDF1 here I come
This incarnation of Robotech from the Harmony Gold import rocks on GBA.
I didnt know what to expect since a lot of the other Robotech games sucked so bad and having seen early screenshots of the side scroller, I was concerned.
But all was quickly put aside when I played it. The graphics are good, I wouldnt say great. Gameplay is fun and addictive and quite hard.
The music blows. It sounds like a cheeze midi instrument with 4 tones like the first Soundblaster card ever made.
Weapon sounds are good but too tinny. TDK should have spent a few extra days on the music and sound and made it rock.
Overall this game is worth its $20 bucks. The sound though blows. ...

Great game!
Pros: Great game play, Fun story line
Cons: Slight control issues while running and shooting
The game is a light hearted look at the Vietnam War. You are a squad stuck in enemy territory and you have to fight you way back to base. Kill VC, Rescue Villagers, etc...
Game play is awesome. Its not historically accurate - its a game. Its fun and straight forward. Simple controls.
Sound effects are awesome. The sound of the M203 grenade launcher and the death screams of VC getting hit are rewarding. Not much music. Good Jungle background sounds.
Controls. The only negative. Its hard to move dialonally. The DS doesn't have an analog stick so you have to press 2 buttons to move dialonally. Controlled shooting is hard in a massive firefight.
I love this game for all that it is. Its not Killzone, but its WAY fun. For $20.00 its a great buy. ...
