Heh. Now this is a review:
SPYRO 2: SEASON OF FLAME for GBA
The little purple dragon embarks on his first adventure on the Game Boy Advance! He is summoned to the Sunny Plains to help out the Elder, all of the fireflies have been stolen by Ripto and you must find them before times runs out!
This game is very enjoyable and extremely addictive. It might not last very long (it took me twenty hours to fully complete) but I could hardly put it down for the majority of the time! It is great fun to play and you will keep coming back to it to collect all of the fireflies and the gems.
At the start of the game, Sypro has few attacks. He can only breathe ice as all of the fireflies have been stolen. But as the game goes on, you learn many more fatal moves. You learn to breathe fire aswell as thunder. You can fly further and charge into enemies, or even boulders to destroy them!
The levels are all full of brilliant detail and are amazingly life-like. All of the levels have weird and wondeful challanges in them. As well as finding fireflies, you can do a task for someone to win a firefly. For example, in a level called 'Winter Mesa', you have to beat a walrus at ice-hockey for a firefly!
There are some brilliant levels such as Haunted Hills and Candy Lane. But don't think that Spyro has to do this all by himself, oh no. Some levels are exclusive to Sheila the kangaroo and Agent 9. In Sheila's levels you usually have to use your unique jumping ability to gain the advantage over your enemies! Agent 9's levels are equally unique. When you jump through the portal, you appear in a cool two-dimesional world in which it is very hard to dodge enemies. But luckily, you come equipped with a gun to take out the life-threatening monsters!
Once you have given enough fireflies to the Elder, he will let you pass through to a different land. There are three lands: Sunny Plains, Celestial Plains and the Starry Plains. Each of these lands are filled with many exciting levels and weird people to meet. At the end of every land, you will have to fight a boss. These bosses aren't to hard but they do take a while to figure out how to defeat them!
All of these features are brilliant but the one that stands out the most is the amount of replayablity in the game. Even although I have completed the game, I could just turn on my GBA right now and try to find more gems which would keep me occupied for several hours. Once you complete the game you unlock a cool game of draughts to play against the Dragon Elder and once you collect all of the gems, you unlock a game called Sparx Panic.
This is one of the best platformers I have ever played and could take Mario and Sonic on any day. It is a true masterpiece and is one of the best games on the GBA. This is another wonderful game in the line of great Spyro games. It is well worth your money and is probably very very cheap now. I advise you to get it. No change that, I advise you to get it now. It is as vital to your GBA as your central nervous system is to your brain.

Expert ass crawlage: 8/10, could delve further.
The genius of Mav. ;-)
Bit indecisive in my last post actually.
I'd only give myself 4/10 and a slapped wrist.
*writes* "must do better"...

Hah, indeed.
Your Devil May Cry review was alright. Strong and interesting. All in all, a good lark through and through - I look forward to reading some more of your work.
7/10.
Make it 7.5/10 actually, for your efforts.
Actually 7.4, as it really should be closer to 7.
Hm. Still seems a bit high, call it 7.3/10, eh?
Yes. 7.3.

Reviews of reviews, is it? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
The Castlevania review was too similar to the Devil May Cry one. 5/10
The Hitman: Contracts review is alright. 6/10
yea ok, I basically typed that differently from my past reviews because I noticed it wants you to be entertaining but have a look at my other reviews and tell me what you think.
