Fantastic Four game players are be able to harness the Marvel Super Heroes' unique and amazing powers through a compelling single-player or two-player co-operative team based gameplay experience. Authored by Zak Penn, who co-wrote the story for "X2," the game follows the Fantastic Four film's storyline and expands the adventures by letting players stretch, control fire and use invisibility and brute force to defeat evil Super Villains in new environments and familiar comic book locales. Challenged to master the individual powers of each Super Hero and combine them to level even more devastating attacks, players must battle some of Marvel's most notorious Super Villains, including, the ultimate evil - Doctor Doom -- to save the human race from disaster.

Fantastic 4 offers four characters, a repertoire of moves, and compelling level design that culminate in an engaging game. Though a bit simplistic, the game does make for good portable gameplay.

A solid entry in the "beat up anything that moves" genre.

More like Fantastic 2 1/2. Fantastic 4's ideas were good – it's the execution of it all that made the game fall apart.

Rough around the edges as it is, the game is still a satisfying battle-intensive adventure. [Aug 2005, p.83]

Manages to stick to its roots and, as a result, wins the day with good ol' fashioned action and non-stop comic book action, like the film itself.

Fantastic Four manages to stick to its roots and, as a result, wins the day with good ol' fashioned action and non-stop comic book action, like the film itself. Check it out.

It’s yet another generic, short, and easy to complete licensed title for a handheld that is already littered with the like.

Completely average and exactly what you'd expect from a licensed GBA game. There's very little bang for your buck.

There's not much here but a bland game design utilizing a tarnished brand.

If you get frustrated easily, like when the ink runs out of your pen, then this game's for you. It will only last a few hours and then you can go back outside and continue trying to hit rocks with a stick.

Game Chronicles
If your nostalgia for the early 90s extends to muddled graphics, tinny sound effects, and tepid gameplay, you’ll be thrilled with this game. Otherwise, you’d be better off playing an original action game.
