Shoddy arcade to home translation

Capcom's X-Men: Children of the Atom is essentially Street Fighter with Wolverine and co. instead of Ryu and the bunch. During it's time in arcades, X-Men was tried but true 2-D fighting greatness with excellent graphics, addictive gameplay, and an actually innovative fighting system. The first home system the game was released for was Sega's ill-fated 32 bit Saturn system. The game translated much better on that system than it does on the PS1, as this conversion is loaded with sloppy animation glitches, plenty of slowdown, long loading times, and some painful controls. Because the PS1 is a 32-bit system, it simply doesn't have the power to generate the fast paced action of the arcade version. This game, and plenty of other Capcom 2-D fighters (including X-Men VS Street Fighter, Marvel VS Capcom, etc.) never did translate well to Sony's first money making video game system (funny how many of them fared better on the Saturn), and only when the more powerful systems that would be released later would Capcom's 2-D fighting games be anywhere as good as they were in arcades. If you're an X-Men fan, this may be worth a look, but the Marvel VS Capcom games that were released for the Dreamcast and current systems like the PS2 and XBox are much more worth your time.

capcom rules the 2d realm.

I remember the old days when X-men was at the arcade eating
quarter after another,and men,boys,and preps form endless line
just waiting to kick your butt,to see who's the # 1 fighter.
Anyway...this game is what started the whole VS title,and it
remained as one of the top classic game of all time.The arcade
version was fast and furious,which why i give only 4 star to the playastation 1 ,The PS1 version is terribly slow in both visually and physicly.Still,capcom doesn't make games like this
anymore.Get this game while you can,because this title is
becoming rare just like X-MEN VS. STREET FIGHTER.Retail stores
like Gamestop and EB games rarely have them in stock.Even if they
do they'll charge you $50 to $70 buck for a new and use one.

not a bad game

Take it from a person who has played every x-men game ever. I think this game is one of the better x-men games. Although I despise the cartoon 2d graphics, it works nicly in this game. Not a whole lot of chaacters. Lots of depth. (<(00)>)

A Worthwhile X-Men Game

I Like this game a lot although the character selection of only 10 fighters (Cyclops, Wolverine, Psylocke, Iceman, Colossus, Storm, Spiral, Silver Samurai, Omega Red and A sleek version of a Sentinel to boot) is small. This is the first of a seemingly endless array of sequels for the Playstaton and Dreamcast systems. Nicely done graphics, music gets a little too heroic at times but the gameplay itself is almost flawless!! If you're a Street Fighter and X-Men fan, this game is a must!!! Note: To younger kids, this game is pretty difficult even on easy for someone less than 15...

To start out, I was ind of disappointed by the character selecion of this game. You can be Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Phyloch(I'm pretty sure I spelled that wronge, but that but o well.),Colossus, Iceman, Omega Red , Silver Samerai, and a sentinal. I miss Gambit and Rogue. The graphics and gameplay are both good, so I give this game 4 stars.
