Planet Monsters - Nintendo Game Boy Advance

Planet Monsters - Nintendo Game Boy Advance [used]

Planet Monsters is an old-skool arcade game that blends puzzling and combat. You battle to wipe out three other monsters while running round the mazelike levels, squashing them with blocks, blowing them up with bombs, etc. But watch out--they're trying to do the same to you, and if you get squashed you'll have to start the level all over again. There are a bunch of other fatal enemies waddling round too, plus a variety of power-ups to help you on your mission. Each of the eight game worlds has five levels and a boss.

The graphics and sound are cute but nothing special. Once you get the hang of it, the gameplay is fun, but though it does evolve as you progress, experienced gamers might find themselves getting a little bored after a few levels and will probably complete it pretty quickly. But there's a multiplayer mode which lets up to four players battle via a link cable with just the one game cartridge, and this will probably provide much more long term fun than the single-player game.
