This is a good game if you're into the X-men and not a big fight-game fan like myself. It's got good graphics, a lot of different characters -I liked playing with Havoc and Mystique- and some cool locations and levels. You can play Story Mode, 1 on 1 and one more if I remember. The critics are being too hard on this one, it's not D.O.A., but it's good to add to your X-Men library FOR CHEAP!!

You must be a real Nerd who enjoys childish games . Go back to playing Nintendo and leave the X-box to the big boys. Shame on whoever approved the release of this game! It is a disgrace for X-men and X-box alike.

quote "THINK A LITTLE IF YOU CAN????". If you think about it, it should be "THINK A LITTLE IF YOU CAN!!!". Your making a statement not a question. at least I assume the all caps and triple qualifiers is what that was about.

Good game to rent, maybe to buy if your a fan boy.

Great X-Men Game!!

X-Men:The Next demension has many different modes including Story Mode, Arcade Mode, Survival, Versus, and Time Attack. The graphics are great and you can play as many different X-Men Characters and 4 secret ones. This is the best fighting game I've ever played!This game is much better than X2 Wolverine's Revenge.

Worst Comic Book Game EVER!

This game is pure crap. The graphics are not outstanding by any stretch of the imagination, the controls are awkward, and the difficulty setting is frustrating. There are times your opponent starts pounding on you, and you arn't even able to get a hit in before the match is over. The game CAN be beat, but it's not worth the time you'll need to invest to do so. I was really hoping for this game to be more, but it isn't.

D rated game.

This is barely passable to be rated as a game.Theres good reasons why games and comic books should not mix and this is one of them.
In the game for some characters the player can't do some of the moves as good as the CPU, and the moves do not respond to the D-pad on time.
And there are several glitches in the game as well for instance; As I was in practice mode in some arenas the player or opponent can fall threw walls or in some areas where there are big holes in the floor where you can actually walk on them and not fall, or get trapped in a wall. And as if that was not bad enough they did a pore job on the blocking move, it too dose not respond on time. They have where you can reconfigure your controls on the game (Yeah, a lot of good that dose.) But you still don't have the blocking move to where you don't have to strain the hell out of your fingers just to do one stupid move.
And as for the affects, its a joke and I'll give you an example; In the game Blood Roar Extreme, the lighting in the game looks far more real as to X-men Storm's lighting balls, they look more like balls of yarn. And there fighting stances are just flat out bad. Some players can float just over there heads witch doesn't make sense because not only that, you can't really hit them anymore and it gives your enemy an open shot at you.

To sum it all up, X-men next dimension was just another sloped together, slapped a label on, copied, and ready to make a buck off of it. They don't care about making a good quality product. Just as long as they get your money. And did I mention that you can't save your progress in the game?

PLAY IT NOW!!!

I played this game and I thought it was DA BOMB!! I am a big fan of X-men from reading the comics and when i played this and saw many familiar characters. If you like these kinds of fighting games with immersive story styles you will love this game. All the moves are easy to master and SOME of the locked characters are easy to unlock. I played the Xmen mutant academy for the playstation and thought it was much similiar to this. I highly recommend this game for allX-Men fans.

Better than you've been led to believe

X-Men: Next Dimension is most likely the first game I have played that was based on the X-Men comic that did not disappoint me. Being old enough to remember most of the incarnations that the X-men have had on various consoles and the PC (X-Men: Ravages of Apocalypse for example or X-Men for the original Nintendo system), I had fairly low expectations. Moreover, I've never really been drawn to playing fighting games because of the low replay value.

X-Men: Next Dimension (X:ND) was a pleasant surprise however. A solid 3D fighting game with equally solid graphics, it is a frequently played addition to my collection of Xbox titles. Let me say up front that this is no Dead or Alive 3 in respects to graphics. It does, however, have strong graphics with excellent effects for the powers.

The powers... here is what makes this one stand out from the pack of fighting games available. True to the comic each hero or villain has an array of moves and abilities available to them in stages, not entirely unlike Tao Feng's chi system. Your available power builds as you fight, enabling progressively more powerful abilities. It should be noted that while activating these powers involves a combo move unique to that character, these moves typically involve intuitive key combinations and not the long strings of button mashing found in many fighting games.

The story mode in X:ND is written by experienced X-Men comic writers. It is superior to the "stories" that string together many fighting games (a minor issue I have with DOA3), and is compelling enough to make you play it through to its conclusion. I did so in about 5 hours and thought only about an hour had passed. There are the standard versus, survival and practice modes as well as other features and add ins.

On the down side, I do wish that the game was more reasonable about unlocking the special characters. While some aren't terribly difficult to unlock (Bastion, Bishop and Psylocke come to mind), there are others that are nearly impossible without cheating. Additionally, I'm a bit spoiled by DOA3 - I'd have loved to see the X-Men rendered with that level of excellence. Perhaps, if there should be a sequel, we'll get those refinements.

All said and done, this one does not provide the disappointment you might have seen referred to by other avid gamers in this forum. Give it a rental if you are hesitant, and I think you'll see that this one is worth the very reasonable Amazon.com price.

I understand a lot of people didn't like this game, but I did. When it first came out I bought it and loved it. Me and my friends played it all the time. We couldn't get enough of it. Now three years later after trading in my GC version I've bought it again for the Xbox. I must admit it still looks pretty good and the controls are far better than the GC version. I also like the addition of Pyro. Now I must state the obvious set backs of this game; for one the fighting is fun but not nearly as in depth as games like DOA or Soul Calibur. Two the graphics are a bit dated. Three the game isn't much fun by yourself after extended play. And finally there are some small glitchs. In conclusion this is a decent fighter and awsome X-men game. Ah this game brings back so many memories...
