I'll chip in here. =D

Micro Maniacs (PsOne, Codemasters)

In essence, Micro Maniacs is a racing game, with various different tracks, but instead of cars, you have people. Some of whom who are extremely bizarre, such as Twister, a demented clown with an obsession for yo-yos, and Mesme, an eight-year old, balding, telekinetic mute girl. Each of the characters has two special attacks which you can use to slow down or take out your opponents, which vary in their applications. To use these attacks, you have to collect some strange floating orbs along the tracks, some of which are in the middle of the road, some slight off the beaten path. You can also earn upgrades for the characters' attacks by taking them through a "Challenge" mode. Or you could race in a "VS Mode", where you have to outrun the other racers to earn points. 36 tracks, 12 characters, endless laughs. And four hidden cheat modes for even more lunacy.

I must have missed that. Shows how crap my memory is. =D

Great movie, and it's a very good adaption. It's made by rockstar, so you know it's gonna be good.
Also got some fun extras aswell.

I agree with Clickbeetles post about Golden Sun. One of the (or may THE) best GBA games of all time. Both of them. Great story, great gamplay, twists, puzzels and those cute jins who can give your character extra abilities when activated.

Too bad Dark Dawn wasn't up to the same level... still a great game by other standards, but not as good compared to the original GBA titles.


Alas, it is the inviolable Law of Sequels: Sequels that are pre-planned from the beginning are at least as good, and possibly better than the original.  Sequels that are not planned until after the original release can only be as good as the original, never better, and are often worse.


(Before you go citing exceptions at me, note the Law of Sequels only applies to intellectual properties with a continuous storyline.  Mario and Zelda games don't count as they are all independent.)


On the plus side, that means the fourth Golden Sun game should be good.  They were OBVIOUSLY planning a sequel with that "ending".


But if you're looking for good RPG's and you want to get into GS, start with the GBA games.
