Rating: 8

Time with product: 1 Weeks

Strengths: Challenging, exciting and high tech.

Weaknesses: N/A

Summary: The Gameboy Advance was purchased as a birthday gift for my son. He has been unable to put it down since it arrived in the mail! My husband and I have had to monitor his time on the gameboy, otherwise it would be out of control. My son has had no problems whatsoever with his brand new gameboy. It is an awesome item. He claims it is the best birthday present ever.

Strengths: very portable fun

Weaknesses: maybe too small to hold for adult.

Summary: I like the color and flip screen. Overall it is very small and maybe a bit awkward for adult hands. No headphone jack, although you can purchase an adapter. Lighted screen is very nice comparing to older versions of GameBoy

Strengths: The different games.

Weaknesses: Smaal screen

Summary: My daughter finds it very entertaining. She enjoys the different games, specially barby and princesses ones. The movies are also fun. The screen is kind of small and reqires the magnifier, and extra investment, to be able to see better.

Strengths: Backlit screen, the kids have been waiting for this for a long time. Recargable, no more nagging of the children for new batteries. With an add-on, it can be hooked up to your game cube.

Weaknesses: Small buttons.

Summary: My children love this version of the Game Boy Advanced. Now that the price is affordable we have two in the family. Since it has a rechargeable battery pack, my children don't hound me for new batteries every three hours. The add-ons for this model are fantastic. Plus, Nintendo is re-releasing some of the late '80s and early '90s games for use with the Game Boy Advanced. I enjoy it as well.

Weaknesses: None

Summary: I purchased this for my daughter's birthday and it has been a favorite in our household ever since. (Even with me) Well designed and constructed with the added bonus of a backlight for play in darkened rooms or vehicles while travelling at night. You can't go wrong with this unit and the Flame (Red) color is attractive and makes it a little easier to find if misplaced. Overall a great product!
