What are some excellent (in your opinion, naturally) GBA games that weren't received well by critics? (below 75%, for instance)

Robopon 2 all the way!
Just remembered. Medabots AX. No matter what any bad review says about that game, I loved the crap out of it.

pokemon.
I don't know... For some reason I don't have a recollection of GBA games i've played. In fact, I don't think I own very many. I think Castlevania, First Mario, Advance Wars, and Golden Sun are the only GBA games I own...

Yeah, but in 3D. When I saw the game I was like
It's amazing what they made the GBA do in there.
V-Rally 3. 3D terrain rally car racer uses the same way basically the Saturn did to go about doing 3D and suffers from the same effects (warping of colors on near to screen poly.) Not the hardest game in the world, but the controls are excellent, the visuals really help make the terrain more enjoyable, and also it does have a pretty cool in car view and as you take hits the windshield gets cracked up as well.
Sabre Wulf... this game is a jewel!

Costello: Sabre wulf was really fun
MAD_BOY: Ooo nice reminder, I'd forgotten I wanted to play Stuntman. I tried playing on an old-style GBA but the screen was too dark to see what was going on.

I'd say colin mcrae rally 2.0
sure it was a pretty ugly game.. well.. just the tree etc sprites looked like GB sprites.. the car models (psuedo) were impressive, got dirty, and damaged etc
controls and physics were excellent, gameplay very very very fun
and you made tire tracks on the ground
Im gonna play it right now, one of my favourite GBA games

Ah, the GBA, so many great games, so many wasted hours. Here's a list of my favourite games that I've just remembered scouring through G-Online. These aren't all my recommended games, just those, like the topic implies, that I think were under-rated or overlooked by many.
The first Need for Speed by Pocketeers
- One of the best realistic racing games on GBA, I didn't like the 2nd for some reason though
Stuntman
- impressive visuals from Velez and Dubail
Klonoa's
- get's repetitive but a nice platformer
Konami Krazy Racers
- excellent kart racer - preferred it to Mario Kart GBA
V Rally 3
- Another great racer with amazing visuals (this team should really work on DS!)
Denki Blocks
- just remembered this one! GOTTA put it back on my GBA!
Asterix & Obelix XXL
- Is this a GBA game or PSX game? The game plays just as well as it looks
Go Go Beckham! Adventure on Soccer Island
- Don't let the name put you off, this game is an EXCELLENT cute platformer/puzzle game, one of the best GBA games IMO - from the team that made Denki Blocks
Ecks vs Sever 1 + 2
- These are great FPS's on the GBA, I loved these two)
Kill.Switch
- Don't let the 3D put you off, this games engine is excellent once you get used to the controls its a brilliant and highly playable 3rd person shooter
Blender Bros
- Nice cutesy platformer with a collectible critters
Sheep
- Cute puzzler
Disney's Lilo and Stitch
- Brilliant platformer/shooter
Aero the Acrobat
- If you didn't play it back in the day, here's your chance!
Comix Zone
- Copy & paste above description
Motoracer Advance
- Nice engine and nice game
Tomb Raider
- Not as bad as you'd think
Karnaaj Rally
- Nice top down racer
Sabre Wulf
- Nice platformer/puzzler
Jazz jackrabbit
- Actually I didn't like this one a whole lot, the original is still the best. But this one isn't too bad i guess.
Ninja Cop / Five-o
- nuff said!
Crazy Taxi Catch a ride
- Not the best engine, but fun for a quick blast
Ice Nine
- Best GBA FPS hands down
Guru Logic Champ
- Best GBA puzzle game?
Payback
- GTA clone with a nice engine, that unfortunately is a little overkill and often distracts from gameplay
And the rest ..
Crayon Shin chan
Disneys Kim Possible
Prince of Persia
Corvette
Mr Driller
That's all I can remember/see right now. I'm sure I missed tons though.

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol -

Anybody here have a Xbox series S and a series X, is the performance difference noticeable? Not worried about 4k. I have a series X but not a series S and was curious. (Reason- I was thinking of buying a series S for a second tv, for when grandkids come over, to keep them off my X)
