so the point of this game is to do 300 missions? im not really familiar with it, but love my gba and when i was reading the "is it worth it to buy" thread, it just seemed like you went through 300 misisons kind of quickly? what do you do?

No no. doing the 300 missions is not that quick. They take a while especially if your not lvl'd up right. Plus there are certain requirements(see GameFAQs) to do some of the missions. Once you beat the 300, there's 10 more bonus missions that appear and are extra hard. Each mission has its own rules (see rules section in battle mode) and you must follow them, or expect for a fighter on your team to be kicked out.

gotya... thanks a lot

No problem. I've never gotten the 300th mission since I accidentally threw out some items. Do not make that same mistake. Some missions require items that if thrown out, you can't get them back. Check with GameFAQs to see which items are safe to throw out. Trust me, playing through it a second time due to items missing is a huge pain.

oh mannn i can imagine haha.. do you need to save all those items for the extra 10 missions too? or are they completley separate?

The extra 10 missions do not require any special items. I didn't find them particularly hard, either, but they were pretty fun. Plus, the first Judge you do battle with (Judge Mike) has an Angel Ring you can steal, which is fairly valuable.

My recommendation: get the Nintendo strategy guide for the game. Probably the best guide purchase you will ever make.

alright, thanks. so you think its a good buy then? it sounds intersting enough and like it would entertain me for a little while

Yes, it's a good buy if your a type who likes an RPG that plays like an RTS.

WTF!? I didn't know Nintendo made a strategy guide for it!

Or a free GAMEFAQS GUIDE. By any chance is your msn name kangarobot
