Developed by Torus Games and published by Activision, Fantastic Four arrived on the Game Boy Advance in 2005 as a beat 'em up. Depending on the region, you may also know it as Fantastic 4. It blends beat 'em up and action-adventure elements.
It landed about 4 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2005 include Pokémon Emerald, Mario Party Advance and WarioWare: Twisted!. Among the 32 GBA beat 'em ups in our database, it ranks #12 by legacy score.
It is part of the Marvel series; on the GBA you can also try Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and Fantastic 4: Flame On. The series also appears on other systems with Marvel Super Heroes in War of the Gems (SNES). Torus Games also made Space Invaders, Doom II and Duke Nukem Advance for the GBA.
Fantastic Four is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
Maybe skip it if…
- you want depth and variety over simple, satisfying brawling
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Fantastic Four is like
Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.
Tip for newcomers: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
