Product Description
As long-time fans of the classic film know, it's not easy being a visitor on another planet. This handheld game for the GBC closely mirrors the plot of Steven Spielberg's 1982 classic science fiction masterpiece, putting you in the shoes of E.T. or his human friend, Elliot. Of course, the game's main objective is to collect the parts necessary to construct an interplanetary communicator that E.T. can use to "phone home." All the while, Earth-based authorities will try to apprehend you, so make sure you bring your wits and reflexes to the table. There are 45 quests in all, each of which presents new traps and obstacles to avoid, and the game even has three separate difficulty levels to master. With six main game areas and 10 detailed environments, E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL: Escape from Planet Earth has unusually high replay value, wonderful graphics, and more gameplay than you can shake a stick at.
Amazon.com Product Description
Your mission is to construct a communicator so that E.T. can phone home. And just like Elliott and his friends in the movie, you'll have your work cut out for you. In this release for Game Boy Color, you must search 60 environments for all the components needed to build the transmitter. All the while, you have to evade capture by government agents and avoid the clever traps they've set for you. You can alternate playing as the strategic-minded Elliott or as E.T., whose extraordinary powers, including levitation, can help you out of the many tricky situations you'll confront. This single-player game features three levels of difficulty and three modes of gameplay: exploration, quest, and encounter. Six large maps with 10 environments in each extend playability, as do 45 challenging miniquests that unlock hidden items you can trade later.

This game is alright-nothing more. All you do is go throught different locations collecting bottle caps and trading cards in order to exchange for parts with other kids. With your parts you can then create your communicator which lets ET phone home.
Rather fun..... July 13, 2003
This game was fun on the first level, the City. However, on Level 2, the Forest, it became rather bad. The animals that are in various levels after the City are unavoidable! If you get near an animal it kills you! It should not be bought( I've had the thing over a year and still ain't beat it).
 Rent or pass up. Don't disappoint you kids with this trash. December 22, 2001

I remember getting my first ET game on the Atari 2600 (I am 25 years old). It was kind of fun, but the rest of the world hailed it as trash. Fast forward to 2002 and the 20th year celebration of the movie. New Kid Co releases 3 titles for Gameboy color. I decided to give it a try and see if I felt like a kid again. I didn'tThis game has kids solving an endless barrage of unchallenging puzzled of a reform school zelda type. After 20 years I thought that this game could have been remade as an original that was fun, but it is more like the old school games like Bill and Teds Excellent adventure where you collect [stuff] and move on to the next level. I beat this game in 3 days and returned it. I was severely disappointed. This title is an attempt to cash in on the old name and sucker parents into buying a label instead of an engaging game. Kids will love the box and hate the software. The only good things I have to say about this game are that it had battery backup and 3 slots to save games so 3 kids can play and save progress. It also had a few rendered screen shots taken from the movie, but no motion pictures. It didn't even come close to pushing any of the gameboy colors limits. Beware, this tat is a dragger on the pocketbook and will end up in the back of a drawer or at a 2nd hand store soon.
 Awesome! December 13, 2001
