Advance Guardian Heroes was...interesting. It's a sequel to a console game that's considered one of Treasure's best and they decided to make it on the GBA. Allllllrighty!

For what it's worth, once you get some stats lined up, the game clicks, but I feel like Treasure really stretched the game to its limits to be on the GBA, the small performance dips are fairly noticeable, but not a hindrance really. However, I also feel like once you get a groove going with the game its already over.

As a sequel the game doesn't do too much either (not that I really play Treasure's stuff for story really), but it feels kinda plain. Its not a bad premise, but comparing it to the predecessor, that game gave you alot of options for replayability, but Advance lacks that aside from like one choice you could make if you die. That's it.

Overall, this isn't a bad game, it looks great and it controls well enough, but I personally feel like if Treasure wanted to make a Guardian Heroes sequel, they should've saved it a bit further down the line. A sequel to Guardian Heroes on the PSP would've been fire.
