great little device
Pros: very portable, good battery life, excelent sound quality
Cons: needs more internal memory, included headphones uncomfortable
I had bought this mainly to replace my portable cd player and to have a music player to use while working out. I thought the price was a good one for my small budget. The sound is great. There are four different sound modes and features such as shuffle and repeat. Battery life is long. It also comes with an adjustable armband. My gripes are that without a memory card you can only get about 26 songs on the device. It also comes with a pair of clip-on headphones which I thought were very uncomfortable.
OVeral for those on a small budget who want a great mp3 player this is your device. ... -

Killer game
1 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpful I absolutely love this game! Ten times better than HOD. Fantastic graphics, cool music, and I love the soul collecting feature. My only gripe is no quick save feature like HOD had, but still, everyone needs to get this game. ... -

Very fun game
Despite not having an instruction book to go by (I bought the game used) I found the controls very easy to figure out. The music is very good. Best Ive heard for any GBA game so far. Graphics are killer and very realistic. My only gripe about the game is not enough fighters to choose from (wheres Eddy?). But other than that this game is a must have. ... -

Better than the first RTWM
1 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpful I finaly got this game and imediately noticed a lot of improvements from the first Road to Wrestlemania. First of all the graphics are killer. The wrestlers have more detail and you can actualy tell who is who. Second, the background music is more tollerable and theres a different song for each ring. Plus the entrance themes are better sounding. The gameplay itself is more challenging. The first RTWM was too easy to beat. WTWMX8 is more of a challenge, even on easy mode. The controls are basicaly the same as RTWM so theyre prety easy to get use to. Basicaly its a scaled-down version of the first Smackdown for PS1. One thing I dont like about this game is theres only 16 wrestlers to choose from. The first RTWM had 24 and I didnt think that even that was enough. I personaly think 30 outta do it. Another thing is the game doesnt show any titantron shots like the first RTWM had. It just has the wrestlers walking down the ramp and climbing into the ring. But with those aside, this game is a must have for any WWE fan. ... -

How can you not like this game?
2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpful I already knew I'd like this game when I bought it. Tetris was the reason I wanted an original Game Boy years ago (I just couldn't afford one back then). Thank goodness I held out. Tetris Worlds blows all the previous Tetris games out of the water. You have several different types of games to choose from and the backgrounds are cool. They chose some interesting tunes (including The Nutcracker Suite). Controls are super easy to figure out. The only thing I don't like is when you go up a level the message gets in the way of the game, momentarily distracting you in the middle of a game. With that aside, this game is a definite must have for any consloe or platform you have, not just GBA. ... -

Better than I expected!
To be honest, I was somewhat having doubts I'd like this game when I bought it but since it was less than $20 at the store I bought it at I decided to risk it and the risk was so well worth it! I found myself hooked on this game. The graphics are killer, the music is good, controls are very easy to learn (especialy if you have the tutorial mode turned on during the first level), and gameplay overall rocks. ... -

Confusing controls
The controls are confusing and hard to figure out. The tutorial is somewhat helpful, though. At least the music is cool. One needs a lot of practice at this game to get it down. ... -

Hard to learn
I found this game hard to learn and the controls hard to figure out. Even the tutorial section isn't very helpfull (I'm still trying to figure out how to jump from one poll to another). But the tricks that you can pull off are awesome. ...

Great small stereo
Pros: excelent sound quality
Cons: some setting hard to figure out, noisy when changing discs
I love having this stereo. The sound quality is great, you can play up to five cd's, and can even hook it up to your tv, vcr, or dvd player to have as a mini-home theater system. Setting some fetures is a bit tricky (I always forget how to set the clock) and it's a bit noisy when changing the cd's. But it's still a great stereo for small spaces. ...
