what can i say i looked at this game and thought it was gping to be another (...)'o'rama game much like mutant wars and wolverine's rage for the game boy color, boy was i ever wrong. if you've ever played the classic x-men arcade game then this game is for you! it captures all the elements of a classic side scrolling brawler! i very rare quality in games today. it reminds me of many classic game such as the final fight series teenage mutant ninja turtles 2,3, and 4, and streets of rage. i know there's more classic games that could be compaiered to this but who cares i'm here to rate this one. reign of apocalypse is not only for x-fans but for any true gamer. in fact coming from myself a lifelong x-fan this game may be dissapointing beacuse of story line and unreal sayings. for example if you know how storms talks from the animated series and the comics she speaks in a much diffrent type of manner in this game. the game is simple work ypur way across the screen. no platforms to jump to. no mazes to figure out. no mind racking stuff like that, just pure brawling! i plan on buying aback up copy of this game cause i injoyed it so much! and i havent even got to the good part!!!! you have the option of playing the game with a friend so yes it is a 2 player game. and the best part it has a built in mutant academy like game within it to play agenst another person with more playable mutants, and arenas then the real mutant academy! this basicly is 2 great games in one. i went nuts tring to find out what mutants were in this game! i searched more then 200 sites tring to find a list and couldn't!! so for those of you who may be worring that your favorite x-man aint here heres the list.
wolverine
cyclops
storm
rogue
sabretooth
nightcrawler
sauron
angel/archangel
pyro
blob
cable
gambit
phoenix/jean grey
juggernaut
magneto
psylocke
beast
colossus
silver samurai
bishop
apocalypse

When I first bought this game, I didn't think it'd be that great after seeing many bad reviews. But when I popped it into my Gameboy Advance, I knew this game was awesome. There are so many levels, and it's very challenging. You can play as Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, or Rouge. Each character has a mutant power you have to build up. This is between a must buy and buy!

This is an awsome game.

This is an awsome game. If you Buy an Action Replay for your Game Boy Advance you'll be able to play as Night Crawler, Bishop, Cable, Silver Samuri, Appocolypse, Sabretooth, Gambit, Magneto, a Sentinel, Accolyte, Mystique, and many more characters. It's a really cool game and has lots of replay value if you have an Action Replay.

Honestly, the best GBA game yet

If this game is based on the early 90's arcade game this will truly be a favorite with players, it's about time Nintendo (or even any company) to bring this classic style of game-play back to mainstream entertainment on the high quality of the Game Boy Advance!

Just like the Arcade Classic

This side scrolling adventure is a reminiscent of the Konami beat em up classic that was an arcade game in the early 90s. As you interact with over 40 different X men, you must destroy the forces of the ancient mutant named Apocalypsein an alternate timeline where he rules the earth.

In this twisted alternate timeline, some of your friends have changed diplomatic stance with you to enemy and vice versa. Your goal is to alter the timeline to it's original form. You can earn points by using special moves, which you can use to improve your character's skills.

Overall, this game should be a great side scroller, competing with jurassic park III the DNA factor and Spider-man: Mysterio's Menace.

I've missed side-scrollers!

People keep harping on this game because it's short, or it's a side scrolling fighting game, or what have you. Personally, I've really missed side scrolling games. With all the ridiculously cute games on the N64, or the 3D schlock they pumped out just because they could do 3D games... I've been dying for some more good, classic, side scrolling action. Between this, Final Fight One, Castlevania, and maybe a new R-Type, I'm finally able to play new games in the style I loved and missed so much.

If you're one of these 12 year old kids who's grown up with more whiz-bang systems and uses words like "phat", then you're probably going to be pretty let down. At 24 years old and already wishing things were more like when I was a kid, the only thing I find wrong with this game is some of the character design. Maybe two more characters would be nice too, but out of all the costumes various X-Men have worn the costumes for Rogue and Cyclops are just terrible.

Anyhow, buy this if you're a comic fan, or if you've been missing what I consider "classic games". (Ok, it's not Dig-Dug or Dragon's Lair, but you know what I mean.) If that doesn't appeal to you, I'm sure a new Pokemon game will be out soon enough.

pretty kool

this game is really fun for a person who like scrolling games. But the graphics are lacking and rogue is hard 2 use which reminds me, there are only 4 useable characters in 1 player mode.
