10. Big guns, big explosions, little system: the perfect recipe for fun.

9. Classic, side-scrolling run ‘n gun 2D gameplay as only Konami can provide.

8. New levels = new thrills. Think you can handle it?

7. This is why you bought a Game Boy® Advance in the first place.

6. Save all of mankind from total annihilation… using just your thumbs.

3. There’s no faster, more intense shooter on the GameBoy® Advance, and we doubt there ever will be.

2. Bill and Lance may not be the Men in Black, but they’ve got way cooler guns.
