X-Men: Mutant Wars is a solid attempt at side-scrolling beat 'em up action on the Game Boy Color. While it doesn't break the mold, fans of the X-Men will find enjoyment in controlling their favorite mutants. The limited roster and repetitive level design hold it back from greatness, but there's enough smashing and slashing to keep you entertained for a few hours.
Most average 2D action game for the GBC. The final boss is horribly designed but it plays ok. Worth 1 playthrough and that's probably it.
