The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Jan 06, 2003 4:13pm CST
This direct port of Zelda: A Link to the Past is a Perfect port to the GBA that will have you and 3 other buddies playing for days. (Warning: You might become sick of each other. Parents become pissed too.)

Graphics: 9/10

The Graphics are clean. They look like your just playing a snes on a portable tv screen. For the new 4 player action they have redone models and textures to make them look more like the upcoming Zelda for Gamecube.

Controls: 8/10

Controls are moderate with the exception of only have two buttons. Wish I had the four buttons just doesn't feel right. You can still play well.

Sounds: 9/10

Great Memories of Snes ring in my ears along with a couple of new sounds. I find this great!

Gameplay: 10/10

Classic RPG/Action/Puzzle gameplay that will keep you busy for about 3 days (nonstop). Maybe 3 weeks with breaks. The addition of the 4 player action will keep the game in you GBA longer

Overall: 9/10

If you own a GBA get this game now! If you don't get a GBA. Get an emulator if you like doing illegal stuff
