Great fighting game for GBC

This is a great game. There are eleven games including two characters that can only be unlocked by completing the story mode in the medium and hard difficulties. There are many moves including 3 special moves for each character. There are a bunch of modes including training to learn moves, battle mode which is a take on the pokemon battle system, story mode which if completed gives you a cutscene with dialogue after beating the hard mode with a character, and versus mode which allows you to link to someone else to battle them. The only reason that this game is 4 stars is that it is very similar to Street Fighter, except there are tights and leotards. All in all a fun and good game to buy.

This game was fun for many reasons, 1. there were many different modes tothis game including story, in which you fought different charachters to win codes to unlock the 2 special characters; survival mode, in which you see how many mutants you can destroy on one health gauge; and many others. But there is a slight drawback; IT'S REALLY EASY UNLESS YOU PUT IT ON NORMAL OR HARD! Other than that it's a good game.

This game is for fans, and those who like quick "mini-games"

I bought the game as a fan of the X-Men but was dissapointed that I beat the game a couple of hours after buying it. Three months later, I played again to write this review and found that my dissapointment was short term. Special moves can be difficult to execute, but the graphics and characters are worth it.

If you own the PlayStation version, most likely you won't like the GameBoy Color version.

The graphics look pretty good considering the GameBoy Color's limitations. Each character is recognizeable, fights differently, has a different fighting stance, and they all have different "Rage" moves. Although Wolverine and Sabretooth have the same "Rage" move, they don't fight the same.

You can play as either Storm, Wolverine, Sabretooth, Gambit, Cyclops, Pyro, Magneto, Mystique, or Toad. If you unlock them, you can also play as Phoenix and (if I remember correctly) Apocalypse.

Good Game

X-men Mutant Academy is a very fun game. There are four modes Story, Battle, Vs, and Traning. In story mode you you fight other mutants in an all out showdown. At the end of story mode if you play on Medium level you will unlock Pheonix. If you play on hard... oh yeah you will just have to find that one out for yourself. In battle mode you chose a team of three players of your choice and fight them againt three other computer controlled characters. In vs mode you can battle against your friend or foe in an all out battle. And last but not least, traning mode which you can practice your moves on holograms in Prof. X's danger room. I am very sure that you will love this game as much as I do!!!

I purchased this game for my son at Christmas (age 5). This is one the games that he plays often. The game itself is really great. There are alot of charcaters to choose from and the endless battle of whom is toughest is the reason why I give this game a 4. The bases of this game is one on one fighting and though there is no blood shed, parents be warned. I continually hear, "Mom, come watch me get this guy," I think it sends the wrong message to young children but, there are much worse games out there. The graphics are great and the movements of the charcaters are not "violent" but they do fight. My son picks up this particular game because he really enjoys it and doesn't think about the underline message. For him, its a great game!

I am not a big fighting game fan-I only enjoy it when I enjoy the characters...so that's why I picked this up. It is great fun, and has pretty decent graphics. The selection of characters is good(I don't know who the second hidden character us but the first is Jean Grey)-one big down fall is the "rage" moves can sometimes be hard to do and are easily blocked. It's Game Boy so don't expect fireworks...expect firecrackers-which is just what you get. A good fun game that has a high replay value!

This game is at best OK. I wouldn't reccomend it if you were looking for a game that you can play over and over and will last a long time. The controls on this are sticky and rarely work how you want them too. The controls seem relatively simple, but believe me, they are not. Graphics are definitely an upside. Very colorful environents help to compliment the detailed and easily visible X-Men. There are 9 playable characters plus 2 hidden characters. If you own a Playstation, I would reccomend buying the PSX version of this game, but don't hesitate to buy this game if you're a big X-Fan, it is fun, it's just not a classic, epic game like the Legend of Zelda.

Yet another poor X-Men game

Here is yet another poor X-Men game for the GBC courtesy of Activision, only this one is the worst. While the PS1 version of X-Men: Mutant Academy wasn't half bad, this GBC conversion is downright terrible thanks to the clunky controls, insanely easy difficulty, bland backgrounds, and scratchy sound. While the player animations are colorful, they are quite jerky, and while the selection of fighters is nice, there is just something more to be desired. All in all, even if your the biggest X-Men fan, leave this game on the shelf, it's terrible.

This game was pretty depressing. The best picture you will see is the 'start' screen. I like the moves, but they could've been more character-based. More characters should be available, and there should definitely be more variety in backdrops. It is very expensive for its value, so I'm glad I won it for free.

Oh dear.

Not so much a game as a mild thumb workout, 'Mutant Academy' looks nice (it's by the same people who did the excellent GBC version of 'Street Fighter Alpha') but is much too easy. You can quite literally win every fight by holding down 'right' and pressing the 'A' button extremely quickly, and it's surprising that the creators didn't spot this before they released the game. There are plenty of X-people to play as, and there's a handy 'VS' mode so that you can bore a friend, but unless you deliberately handicap yourself this isn't much of a game, which is a shame as there aren't many decent beat-em-ups on the GBC.
