General Comments

I got the Gameboy Advance back in 2001, so I think I've had enough time to review it. I'll start off by listing its positive points.

Coming from a black-and-white Gameboy Pocket, all I can say about the graphics is that they're amazing. The 32-bit architecture really makes a world of difference. There is a much larger colour pallette available, so sprites can be larger and more vibrant. I like the 16:4 widescreen design as appose to the standard screen size, as more information can be crammed onto the screen. The console feels good in the hand, and is very comfortable to use for long periods of time. After dropping it numerous times, I can say that it is also very sturdy. I usually get about 15-20 hours of play time on this thing, depending what batteries I use. It's not as good as the Gameboy pocket, but then it also has a colour screen and a more powerful processor. However, by far, the defining characteristic of the GBA is its massive library of great games.
