Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Loosely based on the movie, X men Mutant Academy takes the famous X-Men and throws them into your standard beat-em-up. Giving you the chance to prove that Cyclops is better than Wolverine.

Set across a number of different modes, Story, Vs (a link cable required) Battle Mode, survival mode and even a training mode, your task is to take a chosen character through a number of fights to become the best X-Men of them all.

The actual gameplay is just how you would expect a beat-em-up to be on a gameboy, with flashbacks of what beat-em-ups used to be like on the MegaDrive and SNES coming swimming back. That said, there are some nice features, including the training room to allow you to practice your moves and learn to deal with the rage bar--built through fighting, it allows you to access special powers.

If you need to exert some pent-up aggression on those long journeys, then this might just be the one to help you. --Stuart Miles

Product Description
How about a little mutant mano a mano? The X-men, who've been honing their street-fighting proficiencies in comic books since the 1960s, get their own one-on-one fighting game for the Game Boy Color in X-Men: Mutant Academy. As this is an academy, the idea is for the 10 selectable X-men to learn how to best use their mutant powers, such as Wolverine and his metal claws, or Storm and her lightning bolts. Professor X is there to help out with a friendly word of advice. Once you've mastered your skills, combos, and special moves, take them to the fight arena and spar with the other mutants. If a friend of yours has this game for his or her Game Boy Color, you can link the two via the Game Boy link cable and test each other's mutant powers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Negative Views?, 24 Jul 2004
I just read the reviews for this game, and to be honest I think they're a little but unfair - although they have their points.

Although it hasn't got great graphics, literally no story line and such - it's still a great, basic, fighting game that many of us just love to play to take our minds of the boredom that life creates sometimes.

Me and my friend once played this game on a 3 hour bus journey, it kept us amused the whole journey - and I look forward to buying it again (I lost my other copy) so I can play it on yet another bus journey.

2.0 out of 5 stars This game reminds me of something..., 29 May 2001
By A Customer
I'll say something that will summarize anything anyone could say on the gameplay: Just use the crouching kick all the time and you'll beat the game, doesn't matter what character are you using, as the enemies simply won't block it. Besides, it reminds me too much to Street Fighter Alpha (also in GBA), with worse animations and graphics, so you better buy SFAlpha... If you already have it, this game will be more of the same for you...

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst academy ever!, 16 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This is the worst game ever made. The only reason why I bought it was because of the movie out at that time. On hard difficulty level the enemy rip you apart. All it is, is Killer Instinct x-men style.
