    With its simple plot (crashing crates and colleccting food and gems while fighting), kooky characters, and cool moves, N-Tranced is hours of frustrating fun. [28 Feb 2003, p.87]

    A solid effort all around.

    Repeated playthoughs are marginally less frustrating as you already know what's coming, but hardly counter for the sloppiness of level design.

    The best gameboy game out there. I bought my gameboy sp recently (mar 05) and bought 5 game second hand on ebay for it. This is by far the best and has hardly been out of the sp. While some of the levels are simliar there are quite a few variations liek when you are water skiing with a big shark behind you. Although this is not an easy game it does have a faily ok difficulty curve and it is addictive. Highly recommended.… Expand
