Sega Game Gear Handheld Console Review

Nintendo is world renown for its hanhelds but, like Genesis vs SNES even the legendary Game Boy had rivals.Only 2 made it to mainstream, they were Sega Game Gear and Atari Lynx.While Lynx was the technology beast,Game Gear was fun.

Games: 14/20 (While here were far and few,most were innovative and fun,but not spectacular like Tetris or Pokemon.While GameBoy had Super Mario Land,Tetris,Pokemon, and Mortal Kombat;GameGear had hits like Ecco the Dolphin,Sonic the Hedgehog 2[one of the 10 perfects],Battletoads,California Games, and Sonic Spinball)

Graphics:18/20 (Unlike Game Boy,Game Gear had color graphics and it had graphics superior to even NES,but it couldn't do what Lynx could graphically)

Design: 12/20 (Pretty basic design,black casing looked like a trapezoid good button lay out though)

Technology: 19/20(Excellent technology,good audio,it was a huge leap from Game Boy,it simply didn't have the marketing might or the games like Super Mario Land or Pokemon, but it wasn't quite like Atari Lynx)

Final:16/20(Heavily underrated,lacking games but ceraintly worth playing and it has excellent games,Tolstoy Kafka Evsky nailed the review just right)
