Alex Rider: Stormbreaker (GameBoy Advance)

Embrace the role of Alex Rider to out-spy, outwit and out-cool evil.

Game play includes combat, stealth missions, vehicles and the use of gadgets to achieve mission objectives. Explore Ian Rider's house, the breaker's yard, MI6's secret Liverpool Street headquarters, M16's training facilities and Darius Sayle's complex. Players obtain mission briefings from Mrs. Jones and Alan Blunt before they go undercover, improve their problem-solving skills at M16's top training camp and receive spy gadgets from Smithers to aid them in combat, navigation and unlocking special mini games.

Critic Reviews

40	Digital Entertainment News If you have to choose, buy the DS version instead. There are better games for the GBA.
37	GamingTrend Sluggish would not even begin to describe the controls. Moving Alex around is like driving a ten ton dump truck through wet cement in a blizzard.
36	GameZone Wow, this game was not what I thought it would be. The original license wasn't an interesting or original idea and the game sadly follows suit.
36	Worth Playing It truly is a sad day for the gaming world when a video game reviewer asks his readers to put down the game and read the book instead; you're invariably going to enjoy it more.
