    In many ways this might just be my favorite GBA title of 2004. The designers have combined some really inventive gameplay that mixes collection, action, and puzzles with a great story and stylish presentation.

    You also have the ability to save anywhere. This is helpful for the game not being too frustrating as well.

    There is just nothing that really makes this game pop. It's not memorable. It does not stand out in my mind. And that is the most unfortunate event of them all.

    Lacking in everything that makes a game enjoyable, this one should have spent more time on the drawing board before hitting the shelves.
