3.0 out of 5 stars It's ok, but not your best bet., August 19, 2004

This game is ok. Can get kind of boring after a while. Not the greatest in racing though. I haven't played too many racing games for the GBA system so I can't really compare it that well, but I would have to say my favorite racing game of all is Top Gear 2 for the Super Nintendo.

I like just basic racing, no additional shooting or objectives (like with GTA etc) other than winning the race, and Top Gear 2 lets you win money and build up your car with better parts which makes up for only having one car to play.

This game has several different game modes (which you need to finish each for every level to reach the next and to unlock new cars). It is not very satisfying though, and you are left wanting something more. This game doesn't seem worth any more than $15 in my opinion... you would probably be better off buying one of the need for speed games instead...

This game has a lot of different options. A lot of cars, a couple of courses, and about 20 hrs of gameplay to beat the game... Not very challenging, but the graphics are a little bit better than you'd expect for a portable game...

4.0 out of 5 stars A good basic racing game, December 18, 2004

This review is from: Corvette (Video Game)

Corvette is a nice, simple little racing game. It consists of eight "areas" of the US, each of which has three "challenges". The areas get sequentially tougher, and each one you beat unlocks a new Corvette.

It's not a very long or complex game, but it's fun to leave in your GBA for when you need something to fill five to ten minutes (approx. one challenge). The races and challenges are just tough enough to be fun without being overly frustrating.

The gameplay graphics are decent. The reward pictures of different Corvettes are oddly good, compared to the actual racing graphics. (That's your incentive to complete each race, by the way: to be able to buy pictures with the credits you earn. Possibly the world's most boring reward system.)

I got this game in a GBA-SP bundle. I think I would have been a little disappointed if I had purchased it seperately for full price, but it was very nice as a bonus!
