Majesco Dark Arena Gameboy Advance Action Review

Overall Rating
 1 of 5

Summary:
You are part of a team sent to stop genetically made killing machines that went berserk. While there you entire team (except you of course) are killed. Now you must get out before the base is blown up.
Why Majesco even bothered to put a plot on this poor excuse of a game is beyond me. In the story they could have at least explained why the character never picks up ammo to weapons you don't have and when you leave the level leave it behind. While their at it the story could include why the game doesn't have a battery.

Summary:
Dark Arena is your basic FPS, just a little too basic I'd say. You go around killing monsters with different guns. You also have to find the card key to end each level. The story doesn't really have anything to do with the game. It's more like an excuse to put you in the middle of a building full of monsters.

Summary:
This is the basic "shoot 'em up" game that was made popular with Doom and Wolfenstein. You're the leader of a special operations team and you must get out of the Dark Arena which is to self destruct in a matter of time. Basically you go through the level killing monsters and picking up card keys. The monsters are fairly easy to kill but at times they can be tough to defend. Multiplayer is great as long as you have a friend with the game because you need to have a cartridge for each player.
