Opening Snide Remarks: A game based on the MIB license is an interesting 
idea.  The fact that this game is a Game Boy Color game as well, made this a 
must-buy for me.

Gameplay: MIB is a run-and-gun type of game.  Well, actually MIB is a walk 
and shoot game.  You walk a little bit then fight some enemies.  Continue 
repeating until an end-level boss appears.  This style of gameplay has been 
beat to death, but MIB does a great job of presenting it in a fresh way.

Graphics: MIB's graphics are excellent.  The graphics on the Game Boy Color 
are beautiful and contain extra cinema scenes that can't be seen in a Game 
Boy or Game Boy Pocket.  After playing MIB on a Game Boy Color, I attempted 
to play it on a Game Boy Pocket, but the game was almost unplayable due to 
screen blur.   

Sound: The sound effects in MIB sound out of place and are pretty bad.  The
gunfire sounds like it was stolen from Centipede.    

Music: The music in MIB is above average Game Boy fare.  It sounds rather 
unique and is very catchy.

Play Control: The controls in MIB are above average for a Game Boy game.  
They are not overly complicated.  You can walk, jump, and shoot but that's 
all.

Final Analysis: MIB is a great Game Boy Color game that looks good, sounds 
good, and is very fun to play.  I would say that it is a must-buy for Game 
Boy Color owners but only a maybe-buy for non-GBC owners.
