Revisit the Timeless Classic Again
I highly disagree with the reviewer when he says that this game is geared towards little kids - it's great for all ages. I had so much fun playing through this game when it first came out on my GameBoy Color, so it's a thrill to revisit this Nintendo classic. It's extremely addictive, and wireless play makes it even more so (you won't ever be able to go back to wires.) I think the graphics could be a little better, though - they're not bad, but compared to other GBA RPGs, they could use some inprovement Parents might want to know that while there is little to no violence in this game, there is a huge emphasis on gambling, which I'm surprised didn't go into the rating. This game is great - in fact, I'm gonna go play it right now.

OK with time limits
This game is OK, if you set some time limits on the kids play. Perhaps the greatest problem is the time lost to the game from activities with other people/activities which require more motion.

A must-read book for every 8 year old.
It was very educational. My five year old (brother) learned the pythagorean theorem.

good stuff
this teaches children to be resourcceful and to use what they have availabe. it also lets them practice logical thinking by giving hints on where the player should go next to go farther along in the game, and how to get past obsticals in an efficient and effective way. though it has animal against animal violence, it has no blood or gore that is prevelent in most best sellers today.
