Yesterday I got play X-Men the arcade game on my friends PS3. Growing up I loved these old school arcade beat em ups and I always remember playing the first level of X-Men, cause X-Men was my favorite comic characters. I love the source material, I love the TMNT arcade games, but holy crap this game was boring as hell. I hate to trash a game for simply being what it is but I can't help it, they are charging $10 for this. The game is over in about 30 minutes with little reason to replay it, not that you will want to replay it. Since you have infinite lives it kind of makes the challenge disappear. Also you can just spam your super powers, they drain your life, but who cares when you have infinite lives. Even if you played with some lives it would probably turn into frustration. There doesn't seem to be any skill to the game at all. Its the most basic of brawlers as the game has no dash, no moments where your character rides something nor any background interaction. You play X-Men who get hurt if they use their powers, everyone loves punching with Cyclops... The game has like 7 enemies reused over and over. Boss fights aren't memorable neither are the levels. The game gets cheaper as it goes on as it was designed to suck up quarters, doesn't work so well in this format. X-Men sucks, play it only for nostalgia. BTW the port is well done with all modern options you would expect. Its a functional game so that keeps the score around a 4. |

I never even got why people liked the game in the first place. This game was build around an X-men cartoon pilot that never got picked up. Eventually that one episode did get released on video, but it was crap. Wolverine for instance had a Australian accent in the game. Must have been the 6 player feature.
