... when you're torn between the opinions of two "rival" magazines?
Y'see lads 'n' lasses, being a huge Marvel fan, I'm tempted to buy X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse on the Game Boy Advance. "But what's the problem?" I hear you ask. Well, here's the scores given to the game by the two magazines I read:
76% in Total Advance
36% in GBX Magazine (now G-Force)
So is the game crap... or is the game decent?
Please help.
Also, are these GBA games any good?
Final Fight One
Spider-Man: The Movie
Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
And Edgy, I already know your opinion on Super Mario World so button it, mate. :D

I refuse to have an opinion on this, because I own a GBA and think it's awful. You can't see what's on the screen half the time.
But don't get Super Mario Advance 2, especially if the original is anything to judge by.

X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse isn't there (as far as I can see), hence the need for this topic, see?

Just a short word on Mario Advance 2.
Buy it. Best game on the GBA by far in my opinion. Riding around on Yoshi is all good fun :)
Loads of secret levels and ting to unlock. 95 or somthin similar exits to unlock so its got quite a long play time as well. Some GBA games have been pretty short but this is pretty good comparing.
You also get the classic mario bros game which is always good for a quick blast.
Just buy it!

I'm going to reply just to spite you :D
My advice with the X-men game is not to trust magazine reviews, especially when one is much higher than the other. Buy the game and if you don't like it, take it back to the shop! (Why I didn't do that with Jurassic Park III: The DNA Factor I do not know)
Final Fight One I haven't played and neither have I Spider-man The Movie on the Game Boy Advance, but Super Mario World, on the SNES atleast, is a brilliant game! I've got a poster somewhere with a score of 99% for it somewhere (came with the SNES).
