We continue our portable journeys with Adventure Island for the Gameboy. This game is as enjoyable as the Adventure Island games for the NES so it's definitely worth mentioning. If you want Master Higgins on the go, then look no further.
The music is what you expect from an Adventure Island game. It's fun, catchy, and soothing to your ears. Players who have played through the NES versions will recognize these tunes. The Gameboy tried their best to mimic the NES counterpart's sound base and did a well done job nonetheless.
The graphics are quite good for a Gameboy game. Hudson made sure you felt like if you were venturing in an island, that's for sure. Everything looks just as the NES version except smaller. The game did quite good for the limited technology back then. The Gameboy was pretty advanced to begin with anyways. Overall, it's a great game with good graphics.
Gameplay is quite enjoyable not only because it's an Adventure Island game but because the controls are so smooth and responsive that you feel you can do anything with them. The gameplay gets even more enjoyable as you can save your items and strip yourself down before you start the next level. They might come in handy later on in the tougher levels. The game adds even more challenge when you can only get hit once before you get killed. You can take an extra hit if you have an item on such as the skateboard or if you are riding one of your dinosaur buddies. Excellent stuff!
This is yet another Adventure Island game that you can play through over and over. They are that fun and have amazing replay value. It's a great game to take on the go and play through it in long car rides, plane rides, you name it! You never know what you will be able to find in your second run through it and discover even more secrets.
To conclude, the game is quite enjoyable especially if you play it on either your Gameboy Player or Gameboy SP+. You will be able to enjoy the vast world of Adventure Island in more than one playthrough. With such great replay value, decent graphics, and a great soundtrack you'll be coming back to the Island for more. Until next week!
