Review: I can't remember the last time I ever had so much fun with a hand held console. I never really liked the Gameboy series until they released the Sp. I was not really impressed with the first Gameboy advance; the screen looked faint and was way too bulky (The shape was extremely reminiscent of the age old Game Gear). But the SP changes all that for the better. First of all its backlit, secondly it does actually fit in your pocket. But for all those people who moaned about the size and the position of the buttons, its not as bad would think it would be. I have big hands and I can sit hold it rather well. Also the clamshell design is a great idea, I've had my console for about a year now and there's not a single scratch or mark on the screen. Not much I can say that I don't like about this console, apart there's no headphone port. Which can easily be solved with a headphone adaptor, which costs next to nothing (about 99p on ebay). But the real beauty in owning a Gameboy advance console is that their not region coded. Meaning that any game cart will work in this Gameboy. Which means that you can buy games like Sonic Advance 3 from America up to 50% cheaper months before it's released over in the Uk! Ha, Neat going Nintendo!! |
