we purchased this for our grandson because 1. he loved the movie 2. flaming skulls,zombies and motorcycles are a huge interest for this 9 year old. his 6 year old brother has done well on most of the levels but it is not designed for his age group because a more advanced skill in reading is required to advance in the game. but they both say it is one of their favorite games so far.

Ghost Rider for the gameboy advance is an excellent game for the gba.
I think that the graphics for it are the best I have seen for a hand-
held. It is a side-scroller and that is what makes it so much fun.
I really thought that the music was really cool for the game. When
you ride your motorcycle it is 3-d graphics and it is the better
part of the game. The boss battles are just a little to easy while
some levels are difficult. When you have beaten the game, you can
go back and try and get 100% on each level. You can even uprade your
powers. Ghost Rider is a great game for the Gameboy advance with its
extrordinary sound and graphics and replay value which is very high.

My son loves this game & the price was really good. I recommend it to all.

Note: this review is for the GBA version of Ghost Rider. For some reason, Amazon has the PS2, PSP, and GBA versions of the game all listed together as one product (hence only one review per product). Anyway, we all know how licensed games end up turning out on the GBA. Side scrolling beat 'em up's with generic areas and enemies and gameplay we've seen tons of times before, and seen done better. Ghost Rider for the GBA is a surprising oddity in this department, as while it does look like the typical side scroller we've come to expect, it contains a stunning amount of action that remains faithful to it's source material. Playing as the flaming skull-headed Johnny Blaze, you make your way out of Hell as you take on demons, monsters, and villains like Vengeance, Blackout, and Lilith. What makes Ghost Rider enjoyable are his various powers in the side scrolling stages, including his famous chains and his Penance Stare. In between these stages, we are treated to Road Rash-style motorcycle battles, which are the best parts of the game bar none. There's some nicely done comic book style cut scenes as well between levels, and the game looks, sounds, and controls pretty good for a late in life GBA title. All in all, whether you're a fan of the film or the comic, check out Ghost Rider for your GBA; and yes, as you can guess by now, it's much better than the PS2 and PSP versions, which should be avoided.
