wing commander prophecy
Action, Rating: T - (Teen), up to 4 players, published by: Destination Software, Inc.The deep-space dog-fighting game arrives on the Game Boy Advance with an impressive 3D combat engine. Origin (now part of EA) created the first Wing Commander space-shooter more than a dozen years ago. Several sequels and an animated TV series followed, culminating in a seldom-seen 1999 movie starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and his favorite sidekick, Matthew Lillard. Now, thanks to the power of the Game Boy Advance, the 3D action comes alive in portable form.http://uk.shopping.com/xPR-Wing_Commander_Prophecy_for_Game_Boy_Advance~PD-20296194~FD-66187~kworg-20296194~kw-20296194~linkin_id-3053021~DMT-1~VK-

Although the main storyline of the space combat series Wing Commander remains intact, Wing Commander: Prophecy presents you with a change in role, as you take on a new character in a war against a newly introduced alien race. After many years of interstellar war against the hostile catlike ~Kilrathi, followed by yet another war against the rebel border worlds, the ~Confederation settles into a peaceful rebuilding existence. But, a new and unknown threat looms on the horizon, a destroyer foretold in ~Kilrathi prophecies.Prophecy offers 3D first-person missions (both solo and with wingmen) of varying objectives. Spacecraft range from fast and nimble fighters to slow but heavily armored bombers, both with a variety of energy guns and missile weapons available. The combination of spacecraft and mission types, coupled with a simple but very responsive control system, augers well for enjoyable gameplay.Unfortunately, other than graphical improvements, the series has not seen significant changes since Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi introduced the targeting lead cursor and the concept of torpedoing capital ships. While Prophecy introduces a new alien race to shoot at, their sense of superiority and obsession with honor is too similar to the ~Kilrathi from previous games, and some of their evasive maneuvers appear to be lifted straight out of the ~Kilrathi flight manual. In fact, remove the new alien races graphics and storyline elements, and you
e left with Wing Commander II with updated graphics.Wing Commander: Prophecy is fundamentally a solid and fulfilling space combat simulation with much to offer newcomers and veterans, but the latter will be disappointed by the lack of innovation

It just keeps getting better!  |
|
I have to say, as soon as I found out Nintendo were releasing Super Mario Bros. 2 onto the Game Boy Advance I was excited. When I heard they were going to release the Arcade classic Mario Bros. (but with nicer graphics) I was so happy, I could have died! The two games, of course, falls neatly under the title Super Mario Advance, and boy, is it advanced! Not just satisfied with Super Mario Bros. the way it was, Nintendo have expanded it into something with laughs in the puny face of the original. These extras include better graphics- they are even better than the ones on the Super Nintendo entertainment system! The sound is more crisp and clear, and even better- you get to relive the moment you heard Mario say "Its-a me, Mario" on the Nintendo64 home console, as speech, yes speech as been included into the game! The extra capabilities of the Game Boy Advance has been used to good effect too; such as enemies which scale in and out of the screen when defeated. Extra enemies, items and areas have also been included, but for maximum lifespan, when you complete the game you get to take part in Yoshis Challenge where you, as Mario, Luigi, Peach or Toad have to find 40 Yoshi eggs hidden throughout the 20+ levels. Class. Mario Bros. has also been given a complete facelift. Instead of the basic 2-player game featured in the original, you can either play by yourself against the computer OR play with up to 3 other people using a new link cable using ONLY THE ONE GAME CARTRIDGE! From the early screenshots as well, it looks like you can pick up and throw the other competitors around! Once again, Mario shows he is head and shoulders above the rest.

Buy Wario Land 4 instead  |
This was one of those "must have" games when the GBA was launched. Its OK as these things go, but it feels like it was rushed out in order to meet the launch.Theres a lack of depth here. Im not saying this because I got spoiled with Super Mario 64, but simply because Ive got a lot of Gameboy Advance games, and I know that its possible to make a game with much more content than this. I also found the game frustrating after a while. Ive just bought Wario Land 4, which is a far more "finished" product than Super Mario Advanced is. I can make lots of niggly comments about Super Mario Advanced, whereas with Wario Land 4, I cant find fault with it at all. Buy "Wario" first, and then think hard before buying this one. In summary: This was OK when the GBA first came out, but there are much better games around now.

Why do people slate this?!  |
From the start, the game is one of the reasons I bought a GBA (the other being Mario Kart). OK, so mario 1 is a waste of time unless you really want to go retro, but mario 2 rocks!Forget jumping on baddies (as per old GB mario games) but go back to the good ol days and throw things at em! Four characters to choose from in Mario 2, each with their own strengths (Princess or Luigi if you want to jump high over a long distance, Mario or toad if you want speed and strength), lots of levels, a bonus game if you get all the gold coins (if you complete it without all the gold coins you are invited to go back and play the remaining levels to get them.) This game will last forever if you want to finish it in full. However, multiplayer is a bit slow- its mario 1 in the single pak version and thats not much fun (although jumping on the bin when another player is in it (stopping them from getting out) instantly makes you the most unpopular person ever!) Havent played the multipak version, and so cant comment on that, but overall the game is very good, and worth the money. Buy it, sit back, and enjoy...
