help me identify a GBA game

[mailman187666]

I remember seeing a game at the store where the back of the box said it mixed an RPG with car racing. I don't know who makes it or what its called, but I wanted to try it out. Any help will be appreciated.

is it any good and/or easy to find?

Yes and not cheaply, in that order.

it's pretty rare, the cheapest ones on ebay I saw were about $24 cart only. I think I may have a spare cart only if you're interested.

It's a fun game, it's has RPG elements, and then you go into these races, that are kinda like Mario Kart, you have to win the races and you can shoot the other people. Very unique.

If you can find a copy at a GameStop (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=32271), it's $4.99 there.

well that's cheap, but it looks like it's out of stock. GS is notorious for list out of stock crap, I was on the waiting list for $2.99 stadium events for years when you used to be able to back order:)

And if you CAN find a copy of it, it'll be without a box or manual (they tossed out ALL the boxes and manuals for all their games, even their NEW ONES, the fuckers!)

It isn't that expensive; I just sold one on the B&S forums here for $8, and the only completed auction on eBay is for $5. It's more an issue of finding it than it is it being worth a lot.

Your best bet is to check that page every now and then to see if a copy shows up at a GS in your area.

How do you get it to search for games that you can't browse? I was trying Ninja Five O and I came up with nothing.

First, you'll have to do a search for something that you know they'll have. At the bottom of the page of search results, you'll see "Show backordered used products that may available in stores." Click that and then do a search for whatever you want.
