Nice to see you got rid of the review score, not showing the review text either is innovative too! ;-)

The content system must've outputted it after I'd added the title and details but before I'd posted the text. :p

Blimey, the simplicity of the game is reflected in the shortness of the review!

GBA is made for puzzle-style games, 9/10 is a worthy score indeed. Acclaim put out another decent game, whats going on here then...

Hooray the review turns up!

Now this looks like it might be a good game and I'll admit I don't have a GBA but I'm not really tempted to buy one with the pricing of games like this.

Oh and Amazon's price is now £24.99 if you click on the link by the way.

No I know I want one! It's not the price of the GBA itself or the lighting issues, it's the price of the games that is putting me off.

Browsing the shelves of a local game shop and seeing a puzzle game like this one costing the same as full priced PC game such as Mafia or BF1942 (I know they aren't out yet but they're examples that'll be on the shelf soon) or only a fiver or so short of a PS2 title I just can't justify it.

GBA games should have a maximum price of 20 notes in my opinion and they'd sell shedloads more.

One day Whizzo, maybe...

For a puzzle game, 20 quid tops. For THPS, I've got many hours out of that and I felt I got my moneys worth.

BF1942 MP demo should be out today by the way!

Ahh, my bad. Didn't see it on the GBA shelf yet, but rented it for the cube.

Can't wait, loved the SP demo, even with all the bugs.

I also drive to work so I don't know where I'd actually end up playing on a GBA. If the games were a lot cheaper it wouldn't bother me so much but at 30 quid a pop I don't think so.

Nintendo have always been successful in making and getting the best puzzles.
Great to finally see a good game for the little Bugger, since Goldensun I have been feeling rather lonely :)

Is there any kind of link feature between GBA and GC versions?

Not got the Cube version yet. Or a Cube, for that matter. But I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

There are plenty of good GBA games, but at 30+ quid a pop you can't just pick up something on impulse. For that kinda money, in my mind, it's got to be something pretty special to make me buy it!

BF1942 is going to be a riot tonight, if you can get onto a) the download servers b) the game servers. We've got the LAN ready for this one tonight, MOHAA is beginning to frustrate me now, maybe time to move on....

Nope, because as discussed in a different thread, NGC stands for Neo Geo CD or possibly Neo Geo Cartridge.

Either/or, nope.

GCN.. now, that's a different matter :)

This is a pretty sweet game. Waste of money for GCN in my opinion, but perfect for GBA. I just don't want no stinkin' puzzlers on my consoles.

I'm rather a fan of the Zelda games on GBA. I think the GBA would be ideal to view things on so not all the other players could see them on Mario party. However, so more than 2 people could then play, you would need to have a plug insert to put a GBA and and the controller into the same port.
*sigh* i'll keep dreaming then.
