"Another neat little invention from Nintendo!"

GAMEBOY CAMERA

INTRODUCTION:
Gameboy Camera is different from any other Gameboy game ever created. It's uniqueness lies alone in one factor: its ability to take pictures.

GAMEPLAY: (10/10)
Basically the gameplay is simple: 1. You take a picture. 2. You distort/mess around with/add graphics to/paint it. 3. You print the picture out. 4. Stick the picture somewhere. If that doesn't consume your interest for at least 5 hours, there's always the embedded mini-games such as: DJ, Ball, Run! Run! Run!, and Space Fever II, which are all a great change of pace if you ever get sick of taking pictures.

AUDIO/GRAPHICS: (8/10)
Although the pictures you take could look a little less-grainy, I'd say that the graphics are the most you can ask for on a regular Gameboy game.

As for the background music, I didn't even notice it as I was madly distorting my crazy pictures. Nice enough to not notice it, not annoying enough to make me want to turn off the sound.

FUN FACTOR: (10/10)
Messing around with Gameboy Camera is a great way to kill time. I love the fact that you can take a person's picture without them knowing it; there's no ''shutter'' sound!

I brought my Gameboy to school during exams, and as I was handing in my science exam paper, I whipped out my GB Camera and took a shot of my science teacher! After making several copies of the picture, I found at least 16 ways to make her mug uglier than it already was!

CHALLENGE: (6/10)
I wouldn't call the Camera itself necessarily a ''challenge,'' (unless you're having problems with the image quality,) but if you consider the mini-games within it, I'd say it's a medium-challenge.

CONCLUSION:
Overall, I'd consider this game one of my favorite Gameboy games, due to the many, many hours of time I've invested in this game.

------------------------------
PROS:
~ Hours of gameplay.
~ Great way to kill time.
~ A great way to harass your science teacher. LOL!
