Best Game Boy Advance Game
This is the highest honor that we bestow upon a Game Boy Advance game, and with it we acknowledge the one game that stands out from all the rest as being the hands-down greatest, most highly recommendable game of them all. Nintendo's handheld game system had its best year yet, this year, with a nonstop barrage of extremely good games.
In considering this category, we weigh all of a game's various accomplishments and consider everything from its technical merits and its story to its lasting value and its impact on the industry, though of course the sheer level of fun and entertainment the game provides is what ends up being the most important consideration. As such, we narrowed down our Best Game Boy Advance Game contenders to the following:
| Advance Wars 2: Black Hole RisingPublisher: Nintendo  "Whether or not you consider yourself a fan of turn-based strategy games or any strategy games, chances are you'll have a terrific time playing Advance Wars 2." - Greg Kasavin, from GameSpot's Full Review |
| Castlevania: Aria of SorrowPublisher: Konami "Aria of Sorrow will be familiar territory for fans of this long-standing series, but they'll love it anyway, and so will anyone looking for a great GBA action game." - Greg Kasavin, from GameSpot's Full Review |
| Mario & Luigi: Superstar SagaPublisher: Nintendo "Mario and Luigi is a fun and engaging spin on the traditional action RPG experience that blends equal doses of impressive technology, innovation, and humor." - Ricardo Torres, from GameSpot's Full Review |
