Just beat this game today. Was a blast, I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who has played Super Mario RPG or is just looking for a good time on the GBA. I got about 20 hours of play out of it and unlike many games, I always wanted to keep going (unlike Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Metroid Zero Mission [prob gonna pick that back up next], Yoshi's Island, and the Game Boy Color Zelda games).

I'm very glad I picked this and Mario Kart:DD up to get the Zelda bonus disc, and now I can sell it and recoup what I paid for it (got it on sale at BB for 19.99 after a gamers gift card coupon).

I just beat this yesterday. It was a blast! Fairly easy up until the last boss, which took me a couple days to finally beat, but I did it!

Finally picked this up about a month ago and just beat it. Fantastic game. Probably my favorite game since Metroid Prime (haven't played MP2 yet :D).

Some neat "teamwork" in the puzzles and a good difficulty level in that the challenge in bosses came in figuring out how to attack them and dodge. I didn't have any problems with the last boss, beat her on my second try (bad luck on the first). But I was at level 40 by that time and had made a good bit of bean drinks to power up.

:mad: You just reminded me that I still need to beat this game. I'm stuck at the last boss and I really don't want to wander around leveling up and collecting beans.

The last boss really isn't that hard. Only one thing took me a while to figure out.

Spoiler:
at the last part, you don't have to have the hands and head gone to attack the heart. You have to beat all those, get in attacks while just the heart is there, however, you can still attack the heart for several turns after the head and hands comeback. Just watch for it to be mostly covered again (then you won't even be able to target it). Just pound the heart with Bros. attacks every chance you get, have a lot of super nuts handy to heal both characters and the battle should be doable even if you're not leveled up as high as I was.


But, as the game had little story, there's not much ending to speak of so you're not missing much if you don't beat the final boss. :D

But I want that sense of accomplishment. I've pretty much beat every single GBA game I've owned. Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced is next on my list. I still have about 50 missions to go ;)

I've played through it a few times, it's a lot of fun. Expect to spend some time on it, it'll take 20 to 25 hours the first time you go through (to figure out the puzzles you run across, and where you are supposed to go, etc). Just last week I went through it to see how quick I could get through it, knowing where everything was, how to get through all of the puzzles, etc, it took maybe 14 or 15 hours.
