Hideo Kojima, the man that's most known for bringing the Metal Gear Solid series to life, has come up with an extremely ambitious idea for the Game Boy Advance: harness the energy of sunlight for a videogame. Enter Boktai, a vampire-hunting action and adventure game that not only encourages players to get outside and play in the fresh air...it almost requires it. Utilizing a special cartridge with a built-in a sun sensor, the amount of sunlight outside the game determines how much sunlight shows up in the actual adventure. And since the player's gun is actually fueled by sunlight, the more sunlight you can get the stronger and more capable you are in the game.
Following in his father's footsteps, you play Django the vampire hunter, who uses the power of the sun to defeat the many evil beings that infest the world. Search out the various levels for the evil inside, and destroy the immortal that rules the area to complete the level.

The game cartridge itself has a solar sensor on it which detects how much ultraviolet light is hitting it, meaning the stronger the sun in real life, the more power the cartridge will detect.
How this works is that in the game, Django, the main character has a gun which uses the power of the Sun, and the more powerful the sun is in real life, the more powerful you are in game.
Other than that, the game is pretty simple. Imagine Metal Gear, but instead of Snake you play as a Vampire Hunter, instead of nuclear mechs there are Vampires, and instead of soldiers there are undead. That is pretty much Boktai except the story and level design is not nearly as fleshed out as Metal Gear.
Boktai is a charming stealth action game, but doesn't offer nearly as much depth as Metal Gear with it's really generic maze like level design and uninspired story. But nonetheless still a fun stealth game for what it is and points for it's unique gimmick.
