If you have played this game on the home consoles, playing this version will be a disappointment. However, taken in context of what is offered here, the game does a decent job of portraying the characters.
-
As is typical of movie tie-ins, it's a by-the-book side-scroller with all of the requisite combat and exploration that you'd expect from that sort of thing.
-
There are a couple of unlockable extras, but players probably won't be playing this much after beating it the first time.
-
If the GBA is the only gaming device you own, and you are craving for an X-Men game, then by all means give X-Men: The Official Game a shot. But for the rest of us, I would suggest passing on the GBA version and instead pick up one of the more impressive console versions.

Nintendo GamerAn unsophisticated disappointment. [Aug 2006, p.67]

There are some good things about the game, but unfortunately the bad outweigh the good.
-
Honestly, X-Men: The Official Game for the GBA does one thing and does it poorly. It's the same platformer/brawler that seems to be the generic genre for licensed games and resembles most every X-Men game from the 16-bit era.
-
To fans of the comics, movies and other mutant-themed games: wait for that next stellar title.

Nintendo PowerFor portable X-Men enjoyment, I highly recommend a comic book instead. [July 2006, p.91]
