Ghost Rider is an action-adventure game released for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Magic Pockets and published by 2K Games. It blends action-adventure and platformer elements.

Magic Pockets also made Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup and Popeye: Rush for Spinach for the GBA.

Ghost Rider is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Ghost Rider is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
