  1. Given the limits of the system, I believe 80 Days acquits itself very well in the pantheon of GBA games, It doesn't stick out for any one feature, it is a bland, competent entry in the 2-D side scrolling action adventure group.
  2. Responsive control helps make the game an enjoyable play. [Oct 2004, p.124]
  3. Little fun is to be had from this experience, for any thrills will be derived from the first couple levels, if at all.
  4. To the game’s credit, the constantly progressing storyline and environments do give Around the World in 80 Days some pizzazz, but it can’t completely hide the repetitive, rudimentary gameplay.
