GT Adv./Adv. GTA - Whatever it's called, it's a great game!

GranTurismo on a handheld. That's the analogy everyone uses, and Advance GTA lives up to that comparison.

The game is spectacular. It features plenty of sporty cars and a bunch of those quirky Japanese cars, like the Daihatsu Cube. However, the gameplay is where the game shines. I was skeptical about how well the game would work with the limited number of buttons on the Game Boy Advance, but the game compensates wonderfully and each button is used very well. This game definately is one with a more difficult learning curve than most Game Boy Advance games, and once you get into Middle Class (which may be renamed for the US version, GT Advance), difficulty increases a lot. That's not a bash of the game, because the Middle Class tracks are very do-able after a few tries, but expect a jolt from the difficulty level of Beginner Class tracks.

I only have two criticisms of Advance GTA. One - The sounds are tedious and more often than not, I just turn off the speaker. The engine roaring just isn't realistic, and since most of the time in the game you're in a tight turn, the squealing tires are just irritating. Two - the sprites of the cars, while they are vey realistic looking, have a tendency to pixelate and break in the middle of turns. It's difficult to describe, although those who have played the game have probably noticed it. When you turn your car, the entire sprite breaks into pieces. It's very annoying, but hopefully this problem will also be resolved in the US version.

However, these are just annoyances. The game is awesome. It's extraordinarily addictive. If you're a fan of realistic racers like GranTurismo and you have or are getting a GBA, you can't pass this game up!

We have one hot game this summer!

This summer be prepared for the Ride of Your Life! It's a ride you'll never forget! Smooth graphics, along with some of the best GBA sound effects make this a MUST HAVE! With close to 40 different Eastern cars to choose from (including hotties from Honda, Mazda, and Toyota), you'll be racin' through streets and country side in no time! Then grab some of your gaming buddies and shape up for 4 player action via the Gameboy ADVANCE link cable. Electronic gaming sites are full of praise for "The best racing game ever to hit a hand-held." Buy a car, customize it, and then head for the track. Enter circuit play and win cash to upgrade and buy new cars. The gaming options are endless all you have to do is get it! -The Kayaker-

If you like racing games, this one is for you. The graphics are nothing short of spectacular. The game has licenses for some of Japan's most well known companies (ie Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi). The cars looks great and the control is outstanding. The only drawback this game has is the fact that it was changed from the origianl Japanese game in the saving department. It has a password save system instead of battery back up, but otherwise it's a great game. It definitely displays the greatness of 32 bit racing. This is the GBA version of Grand Tourismo. With an outstanding total of 48 upgradeable cars...this is a must for racing fans.

WOA!!!

GT Advanced Championship Racing is a must have! GTAdvaced is an excellent racing sim feauturing Daihusta, Honda, Mazada, and Toyota.With 32 off-road on-raod tracks to take on,Gt Avanced will get any gearhaed revved up. One of the first things that you will notice is the impreesive grahpics. Each of the 48 cars are finly detailed and are availble in a variety of colors.You'll also like the backgrounds,that are filled with interesting scenrey such as snow-capped mountains and glitery city lights.Racing fans will have a blast with the smooth graphics of GT advanced. The only downside is that if you turn your car too fast it will spinn out, so you'll have to use your brakes to stay on the road.Another tiny problem is that everybody needs their own game pak to play mulitplayer but the multiplayer is very fun.

I agree with many of the reviews saying that the password save way is annoying, and that the quality of the music is not the best. But the graphics, cars, and tracks are excellent for a handheld game, i have been playing Gt Championship ever since i got GBA, but the hint codes that unlock the hidden modes, are just stupid, many people have tried them but they just don't work,
in the instruction booklet it says 'race through the championship mode to unlock the hidden modes', i don't know what they actually mean by that, the championship modes are the 4 difficulty levels, 'beginners class, middle.....etc', the whole game is actually excellent, ...

This game is so awesome.This game features almost 50 cars to choose from(some you have to unlock)and lots of upgradeable things.This game also has 8 different manufactures.There is also a championship mode that can be hard at times but is still fun. The 3-D graphics are one of the many good things this game has to offer.I highly recomend it.
