Dark Arena runs smoothly and plays quickly, which means you'll stay in the Arena a little longer than you thought.
The graphics engine developed for Dark Arena is something I never expected to see on the GBA. It seems that the more developers that dig into the hardware, the more impressive it gets.
It may be a blatant "DOOM" clone, but Dark Arena still manages to be a generally entertaining and mindless shooter. Solid controls, large levels, and plenty of evil mutants all add up to a fun time out.
A solid, 20-level romp that should be treated as a quasi-sequel to "Doom." [April 2002, p.67]
Simply standard when compared to "Ecks vs. ever," Majesco's Dark Arena comes off as Quake Light. [Mar 2002, p.136]
A solid but bland first-person shooter with no in-depth story or sense of fun to elevate it above any other GBA game in the genre.
It's boring - the worst crime you can commit. [Summer 2002, p.32]

Summary Dark Arena is 20 levels of terrifying, non-stop action. You play the role of Angela Bradshaw, a special forces agent who is trapped in the bowels of a deadly labyrinth of maze-like passages crawling with bloodthirsty, genetic horrors. Armed with a deadly array of futuristic weaponry and your wits, you must make your escape.
