I feel like a lot of licensed games on the GBA are at least... decent? They're not good by any means, but most developers went with a 2D platformer on the GBA, which makes them at least functional and usually better than their console counterparts.

Shrek 2



Is this really a good game? Or was this a joke post? Genuinely curious, never played it or heard anyone talk about it before.

I've owned it since I was a kid. It's a pretty average 2D puzzle/platformer

That's what I'd assume with a licensed kids game like this. But you never know, there are some hidden gems like DuckTales, so I thought I'd ask.

Ducktales was made by capcom I wouldn't call that a hidden gem. isn't this series top 10 material on nes with all time iconic tracks like the moon.  It's literally considered a must have title for nes.

Disney clearly invested allot of money and hired competent devs (like capcom and sega) to make quality games, this isn't your standard licensing example.

Disney in 8 and 16 bit era was in the quality game department, it wasn't comparable to normal movie based games.

ducktales, world of illusion, castle of illusion, maui mallard quackshot alladin, by some even considered some of the best games on the system.

I feel like a lot of licensed games on the GBA are at least... decent? They're not good by any means, but most developers went with a 2D platformer on the GBA, which makes them at least functional and usually better than their console counterparts.

In my opinion allot of movie based gba games also got the isometric 3d look + gameplay. let alone the distored grapics for trying to use 3d in a 2d platformer wich the gba was pretty poor at when done badly.

Also unlike older 2d bit home consoles, allot of poorly made 2d platformers on gba felt like cheap flash games, they didn't look to hot mainly thanks to not fully sticking to 2d and 3d character models and enviroments in a them 2d sections.

Check jurrasik park and terminator for example. 2d platformers in 16 bit era, on gba ugly isometric 3d games.

Just meant licensed kids games in general suck and DuckTales is one of the few that don't.

This was a hard one 'cause the GBA has plenty of good games to choose from.

It really has one of the most extensive and varied libraries

That library includes five different games based on Bratz dolls. I would be hesitant to call the size of the library one of its positive traits when that size is due to the amount of filler in it.

That pretty much can be said about most, if not all other consoles/handhelds. But I get your point.

This game appears to be published by Activision, in my opinion Activision is a Solid publisher known for quality games since October 1, 1979

I would assume this Shrek  game would be good just because it's Activision, I never played a crappy game made by Activision, even in the Atari 2600 titles they were known for making or publishing

But honestly, though, let's stay on topic.

GBA is a fantastic handheld, probably one of my favs.

I got into the console a bit late but was surprised at the amount of quality titles, few of my picks:
