Good GBA games?

What are some good GBA games? I've already got Metroid Fusion, Monkey Ball Jr, F Zero and Castlevania HOD. Are there any good 2D shooters on it? I would go look to see what games IGN or Gamespot say are good...but I don't trust them. Any suggestions?

I don't know if this is the kind of 2D shooter that you want, but I loved the Space Invaders remake. It's the same one doing the rounds on PC, PSX, GBC etc.

Get Doom and Doom 2. They are both excellent games, and excellent ports. I heard some good things about Driver 2, so I'm gonna get that when I get some extra money.

Check out Golden Sun, Advanced Wars, Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2 is coming out soon, and Phantasy Star Collection.

As stated above, Space Invaders is very good, the other 2 I have that have taken most of my time are Mario Kart and Bomberman.

If you have a flash cartridge then I highly recommend the homebrew games Maya Mysteries, Asteroids 2 GBA, Rotris, Connect 4 (can't remember it's proper name), Tetanus on Drugs and Pacoman.

I hope this helps

Well, you can't go wrong with Golden Sun, that's for sure! An excellent RPG is my opinion. If you're anything like me, and you like classics, try picking up Mario World and Zelda: LttP, which also has the Four Swords in it. I haven't got a chance to play Four Swords myself, but from what I hear, the game is boss!

my current collection:

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Phantasy Star Collection
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past

i can reccomend all of these(although i see you already have HOD)

I would go with Phantasy Star Collection, Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, doom, the pinball of the dead, street fighter alpha 3, and a card reader.

Nobody has mentioned the Megaman Battle.Net series. They are great games, but there reply value is next to nothing. I bought MegaMan Battle.Net about a year and and played it non stop, but I have no desire to play the game again. Same thing goes for the sequel. If you like RPG's there must have's. Im playing the English Version of HOD, best GBA game yet IMHO.

Street Fighter Alpha 3
Kirby
Mario Kart
