Critic Score 70
It doesn't stay exciting for long, but the puzzles are tough to pry yourself away from. [Summer 2003, p.50] -

Critic Score 70
If you have a youngster in the house and would like to see him play something other than Pokemon, you could do a lot worse. But it's for children only. [Fall 2003, p.50] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
The GBA version is less than enchanting. [Spring 2002, p.34] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
A decent effort, but Crash needs to break new ground if he hopes to compete. [Spring 2002, p.28] -

Critic Score 65
While LOTR hits a lot of highs, the overall quest and gameplay are just a little better than average. It's a strong rental. [Spring 2003, p.40] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
Handling isn't exceptional, nor is replay value, but it'll pass muster. [Summer 2003, p.39] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
For all those who have ever yearned to toss pies and slap faces with reckless abandon, this is the game for you. [Winter 2002, p.46] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
Great in many ways, but the difficulty is too tough. Simply not refined enough for a smooth move toe the GBA. [Winter 2002, p.45] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
The perfect solution for gamers who play for half-an-hour at a crack. Just don't come looking for a lot of depth here. [Spring 2003, p.32] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
Despite the decent visuals, the repetitive action drags this one down. Thankfully the game can be completed in about two hours. [Summer 2003, p.49] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
Really appeals to players' sense of nostalgia, but together the four titles can still hang with today's crowd. [Summer 2003, p.47] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
The graphics are ridiculously tiny, even close up. Oh well, at least it's playable. [Summer 2004, p.42] -
-
-
Critic Score 65
Very different from the PS2 games, but still a fast-paced and somewhat fun dogfighting sim. [Spring 2005, p.68] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
Fun in spurts, but there's no way you'll play it for months on end. [Winter 2001, p.51] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
Great multiplayer support gives it a long lifespan, though little ingenuity is here. [Winter 2001, p.52] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
It isn't quite as addictive as some of the others. [Spring 2002, p.43] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
THe game's just too darn basic. You can literally run right through each stage and arraive at the boss without firing a single shot. [Spring 2003, p.37] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
If you can look past the ugly visuals, grab a friend and tacked this revamped classic in Cooperative mode (but skip the dull four-man face-off). [Spring 2003, p.29] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
Sure to satisfy hardcore WWF fans, but it can't beat the GBA's real wrestling champ, Fire Pro Wrestling. [Spring 2002, p.39] -
-
-
-
Critic Score 60
The main problem with this game, though, is that the developers don't know Jack. [Summer 2003, p.46] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
Decent for casual players or die-hard fans of "Star Wars," but not for someone looking for deep gameplay. [Spring 2003, p.39] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
To quote Kent Brockman: "Forgive us if we don't shed a tear when this puppy is put to sleep." [Fall 2003, p.55] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
A good entry point into the tactical espionage genre, but it isn't as detailed as it ought to be. [Summer 2003, p.51] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
The cars are more like self-driving robots than dangerous vehicles. [Summer 2003, p.38] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
For portable action it works, but this isn't the type of game that should get a GBA makeover. Try before you buy. [Fall 2003, p.49] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
This racer needs more speed and extra helpings of Disney style. [Fall 2003, p.44] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
A so-so system that doesn't offer enough action to counter the lack of depth. [Summer 2003, p.49] -
-
-
Critic Score 60
Good for a generic game but disappointing for Pitfall. Harry deserves better. [Summer 2004, p.38] -
