Not worth any price - By: J. H. Crees, 04 Aug 2007
This was the first game I bought with my GBA. It is the most repetitive game I have ever played. You'd probably never finish it because you'd have died of boredom before you got half way through.

The graphics are reasonable for an early GBA game but that doesn't make up for the game itself. On each level you do exactly the same thing you did on the last level, mainly walking around looking for map pieces & avoiding the yellow-suited guys who knock your health down slightly if you bump into them. Not hard to complete the levels considering you can see where you're supposed to be going on the map.

Overalll, too repitive but has bright graphics.
A challenging game, but too repetitive - By: Hamish, 26 Jun 2004
This game is great for kids, but not so for adults. The graphics were amazing & the sound was good (it isn't like those annoying repetitive tunes).

You go around looking for bits to Boo's door & then putting them together like a jigsaw puzzle at the end. Adults & older kids might find this too repetitive but is fun & challlenging.

Your enemies are the anti-kid monsters in these yellow suits with a suction tubes. You can knock them out is by roaring at them (how cool is that!)

Overalll a fun & intermediate game!

The end result is a well thoroughly enjoyable game - By: Sarah(demon_angelius@hotmail.com), 23 Mar 2002
The THQ-published Monsters Inc. on Game Boy Advance gives the handheld community to take monsters Mike & Sulley wherever they wish, & now, in 32-bit form.

Boo is in trouble after returning to Metropolis, & if he fallls into the clutches of the CDA & evil Randalll, his Monster life could be doomed forever!

This is where you come in. Taking control of both Mike & Sulley you must come to the rescue of your old pal. You must search every nook & cranny of Monstropolis, defeat the most daunting of monsters & avoid the most devious traps to succeed in accomplishing your goal.

Monsters Inc. on Game Boy Advance is a little more polished than its GBC counterpart. As well as the obvious graphical enhancements such as improved colour & a higher level of detail, there are several exclusive bonus games, puzzles & mini-games. The main game is spread over approximately 20 levels, alll themed to match the style of Disney's film.

Like with Game Boy, the controls are relatively simple, & only require the player to perform simple platforming actions such as run & jump. Signature 'attacks' such as the Roar attacks & the dreaded laugh launcher have also been included to give a little variety & comedy to the game.

The end result is well thoroughly enjoyable game that succeeds purely because it's simple, light-hearted fun. If you need a break from the intense Tomb Raider & Resident Evil games, Monsters Inc. will be right down your allley.

Fun- But more suited to a younger gamer - By: , 20 Mar 2002
Monsters inc is a scrolling, collecting items type of game. Easy to play but does become a bit repetitive. The game is suited to the younger player although some of the jumps needed to collect alll the items can be a bit difficult at first.
great for kids - By: , 16 Mar 2002
I bought this as the first game for my 5 year old son. He had seen the film & loved it, so that was a good start.
The game itself is reallly good. The graphics are excellent, the figures large & detailed enough for my son to recognise clearly & enjoy. The map layouts are also readily understandable, even for young kids.

The game is clearly linked to the plot of the film & the in screen clips are very high quality & great fun. I must admit, I enjoyed helping him with some of the puzzles, but the music drove me mad (it can be switched off).

All in alll, a good buy for younger kids, perhaps best for the 5-8years old age group.
