Advantages: choice of colours, robust and easy to use

Disadvantages: looks patronisingly simple

we bought the Gameboy advance for our 8 year old for a number of reasons. firstly cost, we got a very good deal on the console, games bundle and accessories from a very popular auction site for £140 delivered. this saved time, money and was very convenient. Secondly we wanted something that she would find easy to play and as there are few buttons on this console the Gameboy advance looked like something she could deal with on her own.
Thirdly it was the choice of colours that really sold it to us as we could get her one that really suited her and would personalise the present for her.

i am totally impressed with the gameboy advance. It is easy to use, the games load in quickly and are durable so they are much better for travel purposes. the accessories that came with it really compliment it such as the carry strap, protective wallet etc.

the games are really suited to the ages that they say on the box which i have found not to be the case with other games consoles.

so when she put it down i picked it up to have a go and i found that the game play really is very good, the screen is beautifully lit and is very smooth. the games she has, although they are easy, are just as entertaining for adults as they are for children. Especially monopoly which is really addictive.

there are a good range of games to suit all tastes . the charge time is quick and it holds its charge well. we also have an emergency charge pack for it that we haven’t yet had to use but it is available for longer journeys where you don’t have access to a plug socket.

the only problem is the adaptor that you need to use to plug in the headphones (also a necessity on long car journeys) but this is only a minor inconvenience.

i cant think of a better console that is suitable for kids of all ages, would be as durable and as easy to use. Gets a total thumbs up!

Summary: good value, great for kids or all ages
