= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Van Helsing (Video Game)

At first glance, Van Helsing for the GBA looks like a solid platformer using an isometric view instead of the tried 2-D side scroller fare that is so apparant in licensed GBA games. A lot could have been done so right with Van Helsing, but this game is absolutely horrible. Featuring clunky controls, fuzzy graphics, almost non-existant difficulty, and a horde of glitches and bugs, this is one of the worst games to hit the GBA in recent memory. All in all, if you are a fan of the film and had interest in checking this game out, don't fall for it, leave this on the shelf where it belongs.

This review is from: Van Helsing (Video Game)

Ihave played the other games on the consoles and was pretty impressed, and this game is ok, but not great.The weapon selection has gone way down, and you must earn your health.It gets way tough, but you can get far without having alot of trouble.As everyone says the password system is dumb.For instens, when you write the code down, you must take the paper with the password with you, or maybe by accident, your mom throws the paper away, and you must restart the game.This is a average game, but the console ones are much better.
