OT- What are some good GameBoy Advanced game?

I'm usually into PC action, racing and stratagy games, hence my posting here. What are some worthy more adult orientated action games with puzzles or strategy envolved? Or a decent racing game - Driver2, Colin Magree2.0?? I'd like to have to think instead of only using twitch fingers to beat a game. When buying the GBA I bought Smugglers Run and Tomb Raider, these any good? Thanks for any suggestions and feedback in advance.

Nothing else comes near these two right now. >I'd like to have to think instead of only using twitch fingers to beat a >game. Advance Wars is for you. If you like RPGs, then Golden Sun and Tactics Ogre are also recommended. >When buying the GBA I bought Smugglers Run and Tomb Raider, these any good? Smugglers Run is suppsed to be pretty bad, while Tomb Raider has gotten mixed, yet generally positive reviews. As always, the Zelda games are recommended. There's one GBA games (a port of the SNES game), and three GBC games, which are still good despide being made for the color system.

I know some people who have become obsessive ... then there's the multiplayer over the link... and the map editor... Jonah Falcon

I also highly recommend getting the eCard reader if you can afford it since Nintendo has released several of their classic NES games for it. You can't go wrong with excitebike. Jason

Don't worry, the gameplay is definitely adult. The mix of manga teenage romance and general battlefield mayhem is quite hilarious! -- http://www.kynosarges.de

Advance Wars plays alot more like the Battle Isle series, some might say it is a clone thereof. - Factory

Advance wars is considered just about the best strategy game. It reminds me a little of Metal marines on the snes, but not as good. Another one that is hard to find and also considered one of the best is Oger Tactics. I Just bought a GBA last week and a few days before I saw this game there, but it wasn't there by the time I decided to buy the GBA. You can still buy it on EBgames.com though. Take a look at some of the online reviews for GBA games on ebgames.com and gamerankings.com.

Does CM2 or VR3 have jumps and hills and water, etc? I played a little of ATV. It had some nice points, but was a little too arcadey. As for CM2 and VR3: they are rally games, of course they are going to have that stuff. Heck, VR3 is better than some first generation Playstation games.

I read one review of Advance Wars which said that the box cover art was the worst part of the game. Yes, the art is cartoonish, but the unit depth is impressive for a handheld. You've got infantry, mechanized infantry, light tanks, medium tanks, scouts, APCs, artillery, rocket launchers, helicopters, bombers, fighters, AAA, Anti-Air Missiles, Troop transports, submarines, sub-hunters, and battleships. And I'm sure I've forgotten one or two. The AI will quickly train you not to make stupid mistakes, and you can kick it up to the harder level if it's too easy at first. I bought this for a long plane trip (~14 hours) and couldn't put it down. I also have Tactics Ogre, which is good, but the controls are not as streamlined as Advance Wars. A good-sized battle in Tactics Ogre can take an hour, easily. Advance Wars 2 is due out Q4 2003, I think.
