Product Description

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.

Product Description

The X-Men are looking for new recruits. Do you have what it takes to join them in their fight against evil? Find out by playing X-MEN: Mutant Academy. Choose from 10 different X-Men including Wolverine, Cyclops, Gambit, Storm, Beast, Phoenix, Magneto, and Sabretooth. All of them have special moves based on each character's unique mutant abilities. Once you have the perfect fighter, use the Training mode and let Professor X help hone your powers. When you are ready, fight a single match in the Versus mode, or fight a series of progressively harder matches in the Arcade mode. You can also challenge your friends to a round or two with the link cable option. Play X-MEN: Mutant Academy and find out if you're tough enough to join the X-Men.

This review is from: X-Men Mutant Academy (Game Cartridge)

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 review is from: X-Men Mutant Academy (Game Cartridge)

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 review is from: X-Men Mutant Academy (Game Cartridge)

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!!!
