How Can u mess up X-Men??

Xmen: Reign of Apocalypse was a big disappointment to me. The graphics were average, the gameplay lacked depth, and the side-scolling was boring and repetitive, at best. If u are a die-hard X-Men fan, and I know I am, you will be greatly disappointed, as I was. Even if you are not a die-hard fan, you will be disappointed, I strongly recommend not getting this game.

I guess at least it earns one star (maybe)

If I could give it a half-star, I would. Why are the x-men in the old costumes like its the 80's or something? The play is repetative and boring. The bosses are easy to beat if you repeat the same move on them. All in all I wish I could take it back to the store, but the return policy says I cant get my money back. Sigh

a throw back to the 80's

this game is an old fashion side scrolling fighting game where the character is walking towards the left of the screen and several monsters are chargeing at you from the right. you are not allowed to proceed until you have beat all the monsters that are attacking you. but thats it. that is the extent of the game. you can fight one on one with someone else who has the game. also the characters stand and move much the same as they did in fighting games from the 80's.

my copy ended in a used games store in less then 12 hours after i brought it.

conisering the vast potention of GBA, this game is a waste of money. there are sever fighters like tekken that are out and much better)

This game is no fun

This game has good graphics but thats it. You can finish the game in about an hour. the moves are very limited. the storyline is weak and it is far too easy. There is really no stratagy involved, it's basically just button mashing. There are plenty of other good games out there so don't waste your money.

could have been the greatest game!

if GAME BOY ADVANCE developers had decided to let KONAMI port the original X-MEN arcade game to the GBA, we would have been in heaven, the arcade original being a superb scrolling beat em up with so much action to it, now, lets take 4 X-MEN and put them in a world were they have to fight friends as well as foes, CABLE, GAMBIT, BEAST, you name it you fight it?? weird stuff, the gameplay [is disppointing], instead of ACTIVISION using an engine like CAPCOMs final fight, they use an awful jerky and awkward system, do not choose CYCLOPS whatever you do, the sound effects are so non existent its hard to tell whether you are doing any damage, CYCLOPS also looks like he has a weight problem! choose WOLVERINE and its worth a go, his moves are simple but at least it feels right! DONT BUY IT! its a waste!

A Feeble And Careless Attept

I got this game today and I was pumped. However, that enthusiasm died. The graphics are o.k., the play is repeatitive and the moves are simple. So, to put it bluntly, IT SUCKED!!!

Horrible.

I've always loved arcade beat-them-up games, and when this game came out I rushed out and bought it immediately. What a mistake. This entire game feels like a cheap PC shareware product. Sure, you get to tackle many different enemies, but they all basically have the same moves and differ only by the number of hits it takes to kill them. Sure, you get to go against more than a dozen bosses, but I personally found only 1 or 2 of them to be a mild challenge. The rest were such pushovers that they were barely able to hit me before I stomped all over them. Sure, there are 12 levels, but they are all extremely linear, with absolutely no variation... their backgrounds are different, but that's about it. And to top it all off, I beat the entire game with Wolverine within an hour (!!!) of obtaining it, without even using up a single continue or ever looking into the manual. There are three other single player characters you can choose, but by the time I was finished with Wolverine I never wanted to play this game ever again. There is a multiplayer mode in this game that I haven't tried, but from what I saw of single player, it's probably not worth the purchase either. Bottom line: unless you're an ultra-hardcore fan of the series, STAY AWAY.

This Game is not as fantasic as it looks

I bought this game a few days before, and it really is not that good.I agree with some of the reviwers on the sound, it is really owful. I completed the game 4 times within one day using hte 4 characters. I got it refunded the next day. The plot (is aweful) and the mutant power each of the character has does not help very much. Wolferine is the easiest to use, and rouge is the most difficult character. Personally I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, save up your cash to buy some other games. Frankly, it isnot even worth one star.

Dissapointing

Well, my friend owns a copy of this game. I woke up this morning and started playing it. Within 45 minutes I had the game beaten without having to continue or anything like that. It's very repetitive with a small selection of different enemies. All you have to do to beat the bosses is just stand there and punch as fast as you can, they are not hard at all. The graphics aren't the best, but they aren't lacking; they are just average. If you were into the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's side scrolling games, you will probably think of this game on a low level because of it's quality. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games are extremely better than this. I'd only recommend it if you are a die-hard X-men fan, or if you enjoy playing the same game over and over. I discourage older gamers from buying it just for the basic reason that it has no challenge to it at all; it is simply too easy.

The real enemy in this game is Boredom!

Being an X-man fan i rushed out to buy this and was sorely disapointed. All the way home i was itching to be Rouge but after a few minutes of her strutting as she walk drove me crazy! So a change of charactor - good old wolverine you'll help surely? No his ape like image was too much! Storm and Cyclops rescue the game slightly. The levels are so slimular its a crime and the bosses no harder than each other. Even the final battle was a walk in the park! What had the potental to be a great game is let down by its shortness (i compleated it in hours and i'm not the best gamer in the world!) and its simplisity. I hate to say it but a big let down!
