LONG WORDS HURT HEAD
SHUT UP
Not only are both GS games a benchmark for the GBA's graphics potential, it's also one of the best RPGs ever made.

That is even stupider than the original post. The bit count of a processor means next to nothing nothing. Actually, it means how many bits the processor can handle per cycle - the speed of these cycles are more important e.g. a 32-bit processor running at 600 Mhz is doing the exact same work as a 64 bit one running ar 300 Mhz, or a 128-bit processor running at 150 Mhz. In other words, the fact both the PSX and the GBA have 32-bit processors (as does every Pentium PC) is totally meaningless.
What the GBA does have is piles of great games. Do I care Advance Wars has cartoon-y 2D sprites? Well, actually, yeah, I do - because it suits the game. Zelda:lttp looks pale in comparison to Wind Walker, but arguably still manages to be a better game. Pokemon Sapphire's graphics are only marginally better than Gold/Silver's, but the game is still great... etc... etc...
