Dark Alliance is a GBA RPG that pits you as one of 3 classes, plus a secret class you unlock at the end of the game, for a nice portable experience. The graphics are fairly good for a portable and they are extremely dark and fit the mood at almost all times. The enemies range from giant rats,to trolls, to giant stone golems and you have enough moves so it hardly gets repetitive. It also has good replay value,so you can play through as each class.

The storyline is also fairly decent, with you being a hero that is found knocked out cold, outside of Baldur's Gate where you work your way through chapters(each set in differwent areas) to progress through the game. There is always one big boss at the end of a chapter along with a few mini-boss like enemies.

Overall Dark Alliance is a good game that you can probably pick up for about 5-20$ and it is ok for the casual GBA RPG gamer.
