I'm looking for a Diablo type clone for the handheld to waste some moments. I've been suggested the LOTR games (last two) and Shining Soul II. Any thoughts? Length and single player are my primary interest (assuming the game is decent to begin with).

Is River City Ransom considered hack and slash?

 

[Musashi Wins!]

No. haha.

Shining Soul was fun, but not without it's weaknesses. Bad sound design. Poorly animated sprites.

Other than that, it was pretty keen.

Haven't played SS2 yet, but I picked it up with a trade-in. Need to beat the first game first.

Assuming SS2 improves upon the weaknesses of SS, then I'd suggest it.

Probably Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance if you can find it.

 

[Nester]

I've heard the Baldurs Gate game for GBA is a pretty good hack n slash.

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Definitely. Much more interesting than BGDA.

Yes, and Shining Soul 2

 

[belgurdo]

Shining soul ii

 

[kiryogi]

Shining Soul 2!

 

[SD-Ness]

GBA is kind of weak in this genre, but I'd say BGDA.

Hopefully Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, will be good.

I heartily recommend both BG Dark Alliance and Shining Soul 2. BG DA first, SS2 second. Don't bother with the first Shining Soul as it was postively vomitous.
