Great game but only the Multiplayer

Reviewed by lvin5992 on September 10, 2006  |  report this review

I have never played this game by myself but its just great. It has a great story and has lots of puzzles that really help improve the game. With this game you have to believe the hype because the hype is true. The main reason I liked this game was because it had Iceman. The game has a wide variety of X-Men, you will really dislike the Brothehood after playing this game. But the game is great and you shouldlay if you have got friends.

awesome game

The hack-and-slash action makes for great gameplay. It's fun and intuitive. I really like it. The level-up system is exciting and makes you really want to get to the next level so you can afford to get that new special move. The 4-player co-op mode is a great feature that adds a lot to a game in this style.

If it has any flaws, it's the lack of balance between characters. Jean Grey, for example, can take out an entire screen full of even the most difficult enemies with a single R + B, if it's boosted by her Mental Mastery...and this takes very little energy to accomplish. In contrast, Jubilee has very poor special moves even if you upgrade them to their highest levels. And even the bosses are an easy matter if you just put Cyclops and Storm both on the same team--their Leadership abilities, when combined, will allow you to do ridiculous, ridiculous amounts of damage. Also, the game would sorely benefit from a level select. The lack of such an option removes a lot of replay value.

Still, it's likely to provide many hours of fun, whether you're an X-Men fanboy or just looking for a cool action game to play with your friends.

Gauntlet with depth

If you are a fan of the Gauntlet style hack-n-slash games, this is a game for you. It has some depth and strategy, and is a blast to play 4 player. The more you play, the more you unlock and it's great for fans of the X-Men. Luckily this game was a success because they built upon the greatness and made a sequel with more of the same, and then Marvel Ultimate Alliance which expands passed just the X-Men. Start here and work your way up.
