For those of you who don't know, this game is a remake of Crystalis for the NES, one of my favorite games to date. The game plot follows essentially the same story line as the original, but there are a few noticeable changes. A few of the caves been given a new layout, and many of the conversations have been altered, mostly so that they help support the story a little more. One of the major plot twists towards the end was removed completely and the last level, the tower, was completely redesigned as a maze and made MUCH more difficult. Also, in this GBA version, any sword can kill any monster (whereas enemies were usually only vulnerable to a single sword in the original). The game menus were also given a new look, and take a bit of getting used to if you have played the original. Lastly, the change that I noticed the was the replacement of all the original music. Essentially every theme song in the game was changed to a new version, which was a change for the worse in my opinion. The original game had a good number of catchy tunes, especially towards the end of the game, and I was extremely disappointed to see them changed. Overall, it is still the same game and I enjoyed playing it. It is still a classic action/adventure game that I feel most gamers would enjoy playing (though this version is a little simpler than most current games). Definitely glad I made the purchase.Read full review
I loved the NES Crystalis.. This, however.. wasn't as good.. Some things were improved.. like the saving screen.... possibly the HP meter.... but the music was changed.. which is the number one reason i didnt like it. the NES' music was sooo... awesome... also there is an added item selection screen... and extra boss... and certain screens and sound effects.. Overall... dont judge Crystalis by this game.. go out and get the NES version.. it is SO much better... ~Cait~
crystalis is a great game

Though I never played the original NES version of it, I must say this was truely an amazing game for its time. When I played it the first time, I was honestly thrown back by how well they could make a Gameboy Color game. It is a great RPG game and very similar to games like Zelda and Final Fantasy. I highly recommended buying it.
I never heard of this game until going on you tube and looking up best gameboy color games ever, and this was on the list. So I bought it. Not realizing it was a remake of the nes version. Anyways this game is the better than zelda oracle of ages and seasons combined! Just absolutely perfect game. keeps you on you toes wondering whats next. Great little music, awesome story. 1 of the best rpg games ever. Action packed. You must play this game weather on the nes or gbc its a must have
