I liked the game to some extent; however, I knew what was to come after reading about it in Nintendo Power and Animerica. The game was soley created on the idea of a multi-player extravaganza. However, who honestly has three other friends who own a cable, a gba, and an interest in such a kiddy-like game? The story really intrigued me though and I liked the storyline. I never got past the second year, simply because I played every character the game could muster.
What I really despised is that on the game if you don't have a gba nor a cable you can never enjoy the game to its full capacity.
The gba is in fact ten times more important than the controller itself. They might as well have made the game a gba one then --;
