Advantages: Extremely addictive. Best graphics I've ever seen on the Game Boy Color.

Disadvantages: Really difficult in parts. You are more than likely to lose hours of sleep while playing this game!

If you want the simple answer to the title of this opinion the I'd have to say a big, fat YES! Then again though, I can't really admit to having played a lot of RPGs. The reason I haven't played a lot of RPGs is simply because I don't like them very much with the exceptions of 'Pokemon' and 'Zelda:DX'. I have covered 'Pokemon' Red and Blue and even Yellow different opinions so all I'll say is that both 'Zelda:DX and the 'Pokemon' games are completly different to any other RPG I've ever played. Once again I've explained about 'Pokemon' in a different opinion but 'Zelda:DX' is an astounding game which will capture any gamers hearts and imaginations unlike any other. I won't go into the storyline to much as there is too much of it to explain in any great detail. You take the role of a character called Link who wakes up after being knocked unconscious in a storm to find he is shipwrecked on a strange island with no way of escape and you must help him find his way home. Throughout the game you have to explore many dungeons which contain many new traps, puzzles and monsters as you advance from one to the next. As you complete a dungeon you are also rewarded with a new item or weapon which helps you to reach new sections of the game. The thing which makes Zelda DX different from other RPG's is that you keep the same perspective throughout the game and the game is in real time which means you can battle enemies the way you want to instead of having to wait your turn. Zelda DX has been so popular that Nintendo are planning a new Zelda trilogy for the Game Boy which personally, I can't wait to add to my collection.
