Is it still worth playing?
An adventure game developed and published by Konami for the Game Boy Advance, released in 2004 in North America and Japan and in 2005 in Europe, the sequel to Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand. Its cartridge has a photometric sensor that measures the sunlight reaching it, and some puzzles and the Solar magic depend on real light. Django comes home to San Miguel, where a vampire steals his Solar Gun and uses it on him, and Zazie gives him a Solar Glove that lets him enchant weapons with the sun. Weapons such as spears, swords and hammers are new and can be forged for better stats, which needs sunlight. Magic comes in three kinds: lunar, solar and dark, which lets you turn into a bat. Too much sun makes the Solar Boy pass out and locks the game for 24 hours. Playing outside still gives the game its own rhythm.
