Yuk! Bring a magnifying glass!

What can I say? It's Need For Speed. It's pretty much like any other older Need For Speed game. If you like NFS and you just have to try this GBA port...bring a magnifying glass.

The overall content of the game is decent for a NFS port to the GBA. Obviously, some corners needed to be cut to get all the necessary stuff to fit on the cartridge. There is a fair selection of cars here and you can, of course, change the color of your car. There are a couple of different modes as well. The overall contents of this game pack are decent, but once you get through selecting your car and your track and you're starting your race....well, it goes down hill from there.

In racing games, graphics is EVERYTHING. You're tyring to move fast. If you can't see what's on the screen, you can't drive very well. Trying to race on the GBA is an eye strain to put it mildly. This NFS game port has pretty dismal graphics.

Bottom line: Playing this is more of a chore than a good time.
