Play Fantastic 4 Online

Fantastic 4 is a beat ’em up for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Torus Games and published by Activision. It adapts the 2005 film from an isometric view. You control two or more of the team at once and switch between them freely, since each hero has different attacks and a distinct power used to clear colour-coded obstacles. Villains from the comics appear alongside Doctor Doom.

“` Three notes: there was no Japanese release, and sources give the North American date as either June 27 or June 28, 2005. The co-op play listed on Wikipedia applies to the console versions, not this one. And no scanned GBA manual turned up, so the control table follows the game’s documented hero-switching and power system rather than a published chart.
