Best X-men game ever. All your favorites are here and then some. This is a brilliant action/RPG that plays like Sudeki if Sudeki was made up of hour-long battles and featured 15 playable characters that you can switch in and out of the action as the situation dictates. You get to assemble teams of four x-men at a time and tackle such notable villains as the Morlocks, Pyro, Blob, Mystique, Shadow King (yes, you do get to travel to the astral plane), Sabretooth, Havok, Juggernaut, and many, many more. Your four x-men of choice are highly upgradeable and each have at least four immediately helpful uses for their unique powers. Flyers can fly (and can be upgraded to carry teammates over gaps), powerhouses (Rogue and Collossus for example) send enemies flying offscreen and even toss Wolverine into enemies, Emma Frost can turn enemies against each other, Magma and Iceman can build bridges, Wolverine heals himself, Storm's whirlwinds suck up enemies and debris, Gambit and Jubilee can charge outside objects with energy and chuck them to explode in the midst of your foes, the possibilities are awesome. You can also pull some wicked power combos by combining any two special attacks by any two X-men. For example: Cyclops' optic blast + Wolverine's claw flurry = optic assault. This is everything an X-fan could ever hope for. In between levels, you get to explore the X-mansion as newcomer Magma and learn about your fellow heroes through conversation with them and by snooping about their rooms for cool stuff about their personal lives. You can also access the Danger Room and unlock all kinds of other cool features as you progress through the game. The only possible problems with the game is the graphics, which are appropriately comic-like,but not terribly detailed and the fact that not all of the dialogue is spoken. Some of it is and some isn't. It kind of takes you out of the game when a line of dialogue pops up and you don't hear the character's voice; but that's a pretty minor complaint. Other then these gripes, the game is utterly perfect and I can easily recommend this as another in a growing collection of nearly flawless xbox RPG's.

lots of fun

I buy a _ton_ of games that I try and then never play. But this game is a lot of fun and I keep playing it. Great combination of action and RPG. X-Men is the perfect balance for me (as opposed to getting bored reading too much text). The graphics are nicely done. Effects are really cool! The difficulty is perfect. Not too easy, not too hard. I love being able to switch which players are in the game, and being able to quickly switch which player you control at any time in the game! Want to slash someone with Wolverine...press a button. Want to freeze somebody? Quickly switch to Iceman. What fun!

One of the best features of X-Men is that your friends and join/leave the game at any time! This is awesome! Some friends may just wanna play for 10-20 minutes without committing. This allows them to come and go. If I stilled lived in a college dorm, it would have been absolutely perfect.

Finally I love the little touches-- like being able to browse concept art and such. Of course you aren't required to do this and it only adds to the experience. Sort of like DVD Special Features that are nicely integrated into the game.

Highly recommended. I haven't noticed any glitches.

I really liked this game. I played through pretty much the whole thing doing co-op (whcih is much easier if you've got someone to do it with you) with my dad. It is clean enough for kids and challenging enough for adults. I really enjoyed it. You can be fifteen different charactars: Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Rouge, Gambit, Colossuss, Jubilee, Magma, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Phylocke, Professor X, and Iceman. You unlock the charactars at different parts of the game. You start with Wolverine. You play as a team of four (though some levels have a limited number). You can upgrade your charactar's powers (Wolverine's healing ability, Cyclops' beam attack, Storm's lightning, etc.) and equip them with special packs and belts you find throughout the game. Also, there's the Danger Room, where you can test your character's strengths and weaknesses. The best teams are ones that combine people with good meelee attacks and good ranged attacks (example: Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, and Rouge are a good, strong team). If you liked the previous X-Men games, or like the movies of comic books, you will really like this game!

The graphics might not be the best around on Xbox, but they have a comic book look to them that is great. You can play as 15 classic X-men characters and upgrade them as the game goes along. You can interact with almost everything on the screen by either picking up things or smashing them to bits. If your a fan of X-men this one is worth buying, if not, at least rent it.

Like Diablo, Only With X-Men Instead!!

This game absolutly rocks!! The best xmen game yet!! You all remember the old Xmen games from way back in the day? This one blows them all away and then some. With 15 Xmen to choose from including, Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Iceman, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Jubilee, Rogue, White Queen and Magma. The combos you can pull off are incredible. Mix Storm's Lightning Attack with Iceman's Ice Beam : Electric Freeze! The upgrade system is quite easy to use, making your characters any way you desire. If your Xmen's power has more to do with throwing badguys off the roof or uppercutting them across the screen like Colossus or Rogue, build their Strength. Or if your character's mutant abilty is more energy based, like Gambit, Cyclops or Storms build up their Energy. The game pretty much revolves around your core mutant abilities but at the same time you have other abilities you can use which function at all times. Cyclops for instance has the Leadership ability which raises the parties defense and evasion whenever he is on screen. Excellent story line, great graphics and the killer sound quality which, in my opinion, are all utlized best by playing on an XBOX. LOL

Just an awesome game - Great Multiplayer!

I was absolutely floored by this game. I haven't been in a multiplayer game this good. Ever. And that includes team play on FPS games on computer, etc. The graphics are superb. The gameplay is top notch and very kinetic, while being natural and easy to master. The story arc is killer Marvel material, and the voice acting is fantastic! Seriously this game is as near perfect a game as it gets. The only detractor is that breaking stuff gets a little tedious (though it's always fun!) and the auto-camera gets a little wonky at times. Really, that's probably because of how the group play works and how much horsepower the XBox can provide.

All told the engine, the graphics, the gameplay, the interface, and nearly every aspect I can think of for this game is at the top of the field and certainly state of the art. About the only thing that will rival it is the same or very similar game on the 360 with better resolution!

Do NOT hesitate to buy this game. It's at the classic game price, so it's a steal, and I'm never trading it in. We gather up the gang and go multiplayer all the time. And even single player it's a riot (and can be pleasantly difficult!).

Absolutely Tip Top.

This game is awesome!!!

This has to be the best X-Men game of all time. With up to 15 characters, that are all upgradable, how could you go wrong. Not to mention that the co-op mode with some friends is the best aspect of the game, this game is so much fun!!! This is the X-Men game we've been waiting for for a long time. So go pick it up because this game will not dissapoint.

THE BEST
