			<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: purple">OK, after having played through the GBA version, I can give my own opinion on a good buyer&#039;s guide if they wanna get through this...</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">PS2 version - alright, we were quite impressed, although had some flukes, but it&#039;s good for a PS2 game.</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">Wait, that&#039;s not the point. I&#039;m going to talk about the GBA version right now.</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">After having played the PS2 version and then this, you may want to avoid the GBA version if you&#039;ve played the PS2. Why?</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">Typical GBA: No voice overs - although this is common, it just quite ruins the whole dialogue! Comedy has reduced TO A NEAR ZERO, because I&#039;m figuring that the lack of voice overs would destroy anything funny from the PS2.</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">Story messed up - you will get a lot of very few facts from this game, some not even proving to be provable. Just look, now how the heck did those Guardians know where the other one&#039;s are, if the Dragon Home was not even seen too much. Lack of scenes really messed everything up, the wisdom pool was not there, and the training process looked too lame...</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">Typical GBA: 2D - Although with the 3d graphics the 2d gameplay will just really crack up a lot of things that I may mention later...</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">Too easy - Just hit the enemy and he&#039;s cancelled his very action. You could practically mash B and you&#039;ll kill 3 enemies without getting damaged. IMO this may be a result because of the 2d gameplay, which leads to a major reduction of intensity.</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">Lacks style - You could do any move by just mashing B; no styles at all or anything, even the PS2 had some unusual attacks in mind. There&#039;s only one air attack, which is just too lame. And then, the Tail Strike ability IMO was just... put there. I didn&#039;t feel any use for it.</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">Too easy (again!) - You gain Fury power too fast. If you&#039;re running against time you could practically execute one fury every 37 seconds.</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">Lack of scenes - sorry for underestimating the GBA but the whole thing about the lack of scenes really messes the whole glory of LoS: ANB.</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">So what to do?</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">In conclusion, if you plan to buy both versions, I recommend you playthrough the GBA version first before the PS2 version, so that when you get to the PS2 version you&#039;ll be astonished, and you will have no doubt in getting that GBA to quite familiarize yourself about ANB. NEVER EVER BUY THE PS2 VERSION FIRST, YOU&#039;LL BE DEPRESSED AFTER FINISHING IT AND YOU SUDDENLY PLAY THE GBA VERSION.</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">That&#039;s IMO thank you. I wanna hear your comments about the GBa version, is it just too downgraded or what? I dunno.</span></p>]]></description>
