Here are the Game Boy Advanced launch titles we've reviewed so far and links to their respective reviews:
Super Dodge Ball Advance
F-Zero Maximum Velocity
We'll have reviews of all of the Game Boy Advance titles online soon. In the meantime, have a look at what some other sites are saying about GBA's sports lineup:
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2:
"Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is, hands down, one of the most impressive AGB launch title. For the first time, a Nintendo console’s 'must-have' title comes not from Nintendo themselves, but a third-party developer." - Tendo Box 9/10
"Of all the titles that were produced for the Game Boy Advance's US launch, this game is the top of the heap...and it will most likely remain there for the rest of the year. Good? Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is GRRRRRREAT!" - IGN Pocket 9.5/10 Editor's Choice
Konami's Krazy Racers:
"Krazy Racers is a shameless clone of Mario Kart nearly down to its core -- which is a good thing..." - IGN Pocket 8/10
"I loves me some Mario Kart, but the kart genre doesn’t begin and end with it. That said, let me tell the rest of you about the game that I will now refer to as 'THE MARIO KART KILLER!'... how’s that for hype?!" - Planet GameCube
"The grand prix mode and the driving tests present a strong challenge that will keep you playing these single-player modes for hours, and near flawless multiplayer only adds to the overall replay value of the game. Konami Krazy Racers is an incredibly entertaining game that's certainly worthy of the attention of any kart-racing fan." - GameSpot 8.1/10
GT Advance
"It [the password system] doesn’t affect gameplay under any circumstances except for maybe prolonging playtime long enough for you to enter in 16 characters." - Tendo Box 8.5/10
"Advance GTA is an amazing launch title for GBA. It looks great, it plays great, it’s everything a console racer should be and because of this, it offers a lot more than what people have come to expect from a handheld game. The bar has been raised folks, and first gen GBA games like Tony Hawk and Advance GTA let us know we’re in for a heck of a ride." - Planet GameCube
"...the US version, hampered by this awful "save game" hack, is inferior to a Japanese version that's readily available at import houses. If you have the means, I highly recommend you go pick up the original Japanese game..." - IGN Pocket 8/10
Fire Pro Wrestling
"The fighters move fluidly, and the control is absolutely flawless... In a welcome departure from the genre, the grappling system in Fire Pro punishes button mashers and rewards precise timing..." - GameSpot 8.7/10
"Overall, I am VERY pleased with this title... if you want a bloated handheld wrestling title, which offers hours of single and multi play time, DEFINITELY check this one out." - Planet GameCube
Ready to Rumble Boxing: Round 2
"Though the graphic level is up there, the game is nearly unplayable with terrible play mechanics, and worse [...] it's a fighting game without two-player support. Way to show off the power of the GBA, guys!" IGN Pocket 3.5/10
"Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2 for the Game Boy Advance is an impressive conversion of the console game that seems even more suited for a handheld, now that it is." - GameSpot 7.6/10"
