REVIEW
Great action/shooter for the GBA Scurge: Hive puts you in the role of a female bounty hunter in space named Jenosa taking on alien parasitic organisms. Yes, that's Scurge: Hive, not anything with the word Metroid in the title. Despite the derivative storyline, Scurge: Hive for the GBA provides some great action and shooting elements that fit right at home on the GBA. The overhead isometric view of the game provides for plenty of fun shooting elements to go along with exploration and puzzle solving. Throw in some memorable boss battles to go along with the fluidly animated and colorful graphics and you get one of better action/shooters to come out on the GBA in a long time. What stops Scurge: Hive dead in it's tracks from being an instant classic is that you will backtrack a lot, and I mean a lot. Combine that with the fact that the shooting and puzzle elements will eventually get boring the longer you're in the game, and that stops Scurge: Hive from being a must own. Not to mention that there is a time limit tied into Jenosa's health, which you must constantly find medical stations to refill, which will either add degrees of challenge or frustration depending on the gamer. That aside though, Scurge: Hive is still a great game for the GBA that should be checked out by those still holding on to their GBA's and craving some solid action. The game is also available for the DS as well, which has the advantage of showing more on the screen as well as displaying the area map at all times. If you own a DS and want to check this game out, you may want to go for that version for those reasons alone, but if you want a cheaper game, the GBA version is sufficient.

REVIEW
Not bad at all I personally had no problems getting this game to run. I got it up and running within minutes, and was golfing soon after. I think this game is a joy to play. It gave me the impression of really being able to adjust my body position to hit the ball properly. To ready your swing, you have to set how your feet are positioned and how you angle the golf club, and I thought it was fun being able to do all those things to get the ball to curve just right onto the green, or at the right angle down the fairway. I haven't played many golf games out there, and this particular swing setup was new to me, but I enjoyed it. If you play golf leisurely like I do (but maybe golf video games more frequently), and like to learn about how your body affects your shot, I think you'll enjoy this game as I did.

REVIEW
"Frustrating" would best describe it... i like golf video games. they're addictive. so, i've played quite a few in my day. i was really looking forward to this one as it seemed like something different. i guess i'll just list my frustrations by bullet-point.
cons:
- overhead map of the course is a complete waste. i like to zoom in and look at the whole course. you can't do that here. you get a small map of the whole course, so small, you can't even see where the beginning tee is and the hole. i don't understand why this feature is so poor when it's almost a standard component of any golf game.
- putting. the grids are really ineffective at helping you gauge the slopes of the green. i can barely get par most of the time cause when i putt it's like russian roulette as to where it might dip or turn away.
- totally crappy player design. there's like, 6 people you can choose from. you can change the shirts color and pants color. whoopie!? <---sarcasm.
- to get maximum power, you have to push both thumbsticks to the right then left. a fraction of a fraction of a movement makes the ball slice or barely go the full distance. so it's better just to take a normal stroke and not risk the catastrophe which can potentially and often happens.
- no music...barely birds chirping...could had SOME option. it's like sitting in a quiet room playing this game.
- winning is CRAZY hard. the AI is pretty good even on 'beginner.'
pros:
- decent graphics.
- large selection of courses.
- good selection of modes: career, tournaments, individual play.
- ummm...the commentators aren't too annoying.
that's about all. i wanted to love it like my own but it drove me slightly insaner than i already was.
