If you're buying a Game Boy Advance, you need to buy this game too. There's no doubt in my mind-this is the best Game Boy Advance game I've played. Everything you remember from THPS2 on the DC, PSX, PC is pretty much in here save for the music, which of course is more a limitation of the hardware than anything else. The levels look familiar although it may be from a little bit different perspective. Control takes a little getting used to as you only have 4 buttons, but you'll do fine after reading the manual and playing the tutorial. There is a battery backup in this game thankfully so you can play a 'career'mode just like the 'real' consoles. Endless replay value just is icing on the cake. I can go on and on about this game, but if you've read this far, you must already be a fan of the game. Just go buy it. You'll thank me later.
