Car Battler Joe – Second Opinion

Over the last two years I have seen this game come up several times on the Internet categorized as a surprise hit or as the true definition of a sleeper.

Car Battler Joe – Review

A player can never know for sure if they will like the title until they're playing it. There's joy in knowing money was well spent on a good game and inversely, disappointment in having wasted time with a lemon. In sticking with the gambling metaphor, Car Battler Joe, a Game Boy Advance release from Natsume, is the casino equivalent of putting a quarter in the slot machine and winning a million dollars.
