 Not bad for an old classic March 31, 2008
I never played the original, but this "newer" version is fun. The only downside is that even though there is a save option it only saves the money and items you have earned, not your progress in the story. Other than that, it has nice RPG elements (buying food and items at stores), and goofy dialogue. A must for old school gamers.

 Poor Port to the GBA June 10, 2004
12 out of 18 found this review helpful
River City Ransom for the NES was a classic game. However, the port to GBA brought no effort into making this game better or functional for a handheld. Atlus Software looked to cash in on a popular title and spent the minimal effort necessary to create this cartridge.pI'm not going to criticize what RCR is as a game. But here's what I think you should be aware of before purchasing the GBA version.p- Poor menus. The game immediately begins with two choices, Story and Manage Data. The Manage Data option doesn't even allow you to load a game...you first need to begin a new game and then load. I'd think this could have been improved.p- Screen errors. The game plays in sort of a letterbox mode, but your computer partner and opponents are able to appear below this black bar, and run around offscreen. I believe I remember this bug from the original, but it shouldn't have made it into this updated version.p- Dual-button jump. The GBA has 4 buttons A,B,L,R like the SNES...so I can't understand why I still need to push AB at the same time to jump. L and R aren't even used during actual gameplay. The GBA form makes dual-button moves trickier than a NES controller, and I wish Atlus would have considered that.pI do enjoy River City Ransom as a game, but the presentation and delivery makes me reconsider this purchase. It's sad to see developers offering no effort in the delivery of a title like this, instead choosing to sell the name and hope to cash in with fans.
----------Great Game, But Too SHORT------- June 10, 2004

I bought this game two days ago, and i beat it. Its fun the whole game, but too easy. Im a little angry with the length. Slick, the final boss, is easier then you would think, and you don't even have to free your girlfriends. I suggest you rent this game before you buy it.

I remember I was really little when I played this game. In Asia, who doesn't know this game?brI love it. One point is off tho because this game is toooooooo short. I finished the whole game in 2 hours.
