What's your favorite Game Boy Advance Game? Mine would probably be Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance. It's an awesome game. I recommend it to any one who has never played it before. If you've played FFT for PS1, then you know what I mean. FFTA is better than FFT in my opinion though.

Well, thats like my second favorite ,but i think Megaman Battle Network 1,2,3,and 4 are better you can have so much fun playing those games for hours! hehe

I'd say the PS1 FFT beats the GBA one. That said, they're both incredibly fun. My favorite GBA game would have to be Advance Wars 2. It makes me so sad that the GC game isn't a turn based strategy!

Oh man. I got that game a few weeks ago because I heard that it was a great game. BUT its sooo HARD! It's great though. I also have to add Fire Emblem to my list of GBA favorites. Oooo! Golden Sun 2 too!

And I second the motion on MMBN3. I own Blue, and it was the most suspensful and fun game to play, regardless of the corny humor in it.

Yes, they are making a Gamecube one, but I'm incredibly dissapointed that it won't be turn based.

turned based isnt all that great

actually i think games would be alot better if they werent turned based.. like final fantasy would b one example of a great non turn based game but not to get off subject i kinda like the old school mario games

Hum...

I think Golden Sun is a great example of how good turn based can get. The thing with turn based games is you have the option to think about what you are doing. You aren't rushed into the action. You get time to plan your moves and your strategy. That's why Advance Wars is also a great turn based game. As for Golden Sun it's turn based, only in battle. Battle turn based is pretty awesome in that game...gives you time to think about what you're doing. Instead of controlling one character while the others are automated, you can attack and destroy and enemy in just one round. Advance Wars and Golden Sun are different turn based games but they both would suck without it.

Some games are good but wouldn't be if they weren't turn based. Others need to stay out of the turn based region completely. Strategy games such as Advance Wars need turn based because you need to have a plan. The whole idea of those games is to plan what you are doing. Others is simply rush in and kick ass. Both types are a lot of fun, but the games wouldn't be the same if you changed the turn based part of them. It's sort of like this: In games where you are right in the action such as Advance Wars and the game is a strategy game having the game be turn based works just fine. Other games, where you walk around in a world turn based games aren't too great. The fighting would take too long and eventually the game would be boring or no fun. Golden Sun though keeps this style interesting with it's awesome graphics.

In the end whether or not the game should be turned based or not would depend on the story of the game. If the game can be long and be turn based it would still be enjoyable. If you get sick of having to wait for the enemy's turn to end then the game isn't too great. It is a lot more fun watching your people wreaking havoc on the bad guys than the other way around. This is where Advanced Wars goes bad. The enemy's turns sometimes take too long and it get's boring. In Golden Sun however all the enemy's have different moves they can do plus the enemy's turn never takes a long time, therefore the game is enjoyable.

Now that...took a while.
