Advantages: Great games, feels good to hold

Disadvantages: Needs a light!

Nintendos Gameboy Advance was the model that followed the extremely popular Gameboy Colour.

The Gameboy Advance packs some great new features, the unit is now held sideways with a widescreen LCD screen, this makes it a more immersive experience when playing. The unit has added shoulder buttons to it and of course it has updated specs to provide graphics with greater fidelity.

Upon unboxing your Gameboy Advance, which comes in many different colours, you won't receive to much, just the usual handful of instruction manuals, the handheld itself and a couple of AA batteries to get you started. No demos to play nothing!

Luckily the Gameboy Advance is backwards compatible with both your Gameboy Color and original Gameboy games and you can even play them in widescreen presentation though this does stretch the image.

The handheld also has a great lineup of games, from the classic platforming of the Super Mario advance series, the deep engrossing stories of Golden Sun and Final Fantasy, arcade racing titles such as Mario Kart Super Circuit to the epic adventures of Zelda and Metroid. All your Nintendo favourites make an appearance here and nearly every one of their games are of stellar quality.

The only bad thing about this handheld is the screen, even if you're playing indoors in ideal lighting conditions it can be difficult to see the screen, outside you might as well not bother! You will need to invest in a lighting accessory to get the most of this system.

Summary: A good handheld.
