Game Boy Advance Critic Reviews

Yep, you've got to use passwords to continue in the campaign mode. Fortunately, the game's pick up and go nature, excellent visuals, decent simulation qualities, and excellent multiplayer more than make up for those problems.

I’m taking points off for the lack of frames of animation, repetition, and no battery save, but mainly the last two. It’s still a good game.

Under-whelming, at best.
