I previously played the now delisted Xbox 360 port. This is still among the best X-Men games I ever played!!! It might be a little weird having two versions that differs the amount of players. The port I played was based on the six player version. You get to play as one of six X-Men characters. You get to fight a lot of Sentinels. You also face some big named X-Men villains. Let's not let parts of the Engrish ruin the experience. Konami previously done TMNT and The Simpsons amazingly well at the arcades. Parts of the game based on a failed X-Men cartoon pilot, X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men. Which led to X-Men: The Animated Series a few years later. It's failure led to a great cartoon show as well as this game. There's not many notable differences region wise. The game never gets boring but still expect to die a lot. Thankfully the port gives you infinite continues. Online co-op isn't perfect I confess. You also could argue how some X-Men games are better than this. At the same time, if you can't play those better X-Men games. Then this would be the next best thing. It's a fun licensed beat em up that makes you proud to be an X-Men!!!
In my youth this game was one of the best wsys to enjoy connecting with characters that wowed me from Marvel. Beat’em ups are trending again and this game really need to see the light, and perhaps get a remake or spiritual sequel. Some of use are mortified to have only this title trapped on the PS3 hardware.
Those games also need your vote!
