Wowie! Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms for the
GameBoy Advance is a true classic that takes you back to the glory days of the arcade! In this adventure, you play as a hero summoned by the Greek god Zeus to save the world from dark forces. What makes this game truly Fantastic is the ability to transform into different beasts like a dragon, a tiger, and a shark!
