I got this game along with my GBA in 2001 and I still play it 5 years later. This game accompanied me everywhere for the first 3 of those years. The spectacular near 3D graphics astounded me consiering I had spent the past 3 years playing a little Game Boy Pocket (remember them?) in a corner. The excellent gameplay made me feel it was BETTER than the PS1 version which felt blocky and difficult at that point (I was 9 and all I wanted to do was unlock Spiderman). I always played My GBA with the sound off because it was annoying so I can't rate the sound. I stick by what I say and this is the best GBA game ever after 5 years of trying to topple it, it still stands high above them all. The controls feel like second nature after ten minutes of game play. Truly a gaming masterpiece.
