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?

X-Men....FIGHT!

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!!

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...

X-men The Next Dimension for the Xbox is a fighting game where you get to fight with your favorite X-man character. The major ones included are: Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine, Night Crawler, Storm and many more which can be unlocked when you beat the games. Your characters can do basic punch, kick, combo moves and
use their special powers. You can play by yourself or with a friend in versus mode. I hated this game because the controls were sluggish, the animation looked choppy and weird. The sound is the worst ever in a fighting game! The hits sound like Tiny slap sounds. All of the combo attacks suck, they feel very generic. I'm an X-men fan, but this game is horrible. Save your money and buy Dead or Alive (the bomb).

Pros:
+X-men characters
+good graphics
+versus a friend

Cons:
-sluggish controls
-terrible sound effects
-generic music
-choppy animations
-fighting techniques suck
-retarded A.I.

Errr.. no offense but...

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.

hear this people

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.

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.

Mediocre and insanely difficult

X-Men: Next Dimension is a somewhat enjoyable game. Any X-Men fan will be happy to play as over 24 different characters ripped straight from the comics, with powers intact.

All characters have multiple outfits and are highly detailed. The graphics overall in the game aren't outstanding, but they're decent enough. The special effects on the powers are the icing on the cake, standing out above everythign else in the game. The environment is interactive and players can be thrown through floors, cielings, windows and walls to new areas of the level.

That's about it for the great features though. Probably the most troubling aspect about this game is the fact that it has virtually NO SOUND EFFECTS whatsoever while you fight. You spend most of the time watching you characters throw punches and kicks at one another with only the music going, and occasionally you might hear a punch connect or a character groan in pain. Otherwise there is complete silence while you fight. I'm not sure how that slipped past the Quality Assurance testers unless they were all deaf. I thought it was just the XBox, since just about every XBox game seems to be plagued with sound problems, but it wasn't. The game just lacks sound effects.

Another troubling aspect is the difficulty...now i'm not one for easy games, in fact I hate games that are so easy you can blow through them in a 30 minutes sitting...but Next Dimension transcends the boundaries of high difficulty. I haven't played a fighting game this hard in a long, long time. And while a challenge is certainly welcome, there is a definite difference between challenge and insanity. The difficulty in this game, unfortunately, falls into the insanity category. While you probably won't have to cheat your way to victory, the only way to assure that you win is to spend HOURS in the practice mode with every character. Since you are forced to play as different characters as the game progresses in Story Mode, you must know how to use each character. And even then...the game can become so frustrating at times that its best that you turn it off and put it on the shelf for a few days. It can be fun at times, but most of the time succeeds at being terribly difficult.

The control is pretty bad...and the clunky junk that is the XBox controller does not help matters. Special moves are straightforward but difficult to perform because of the responsiveness of the controls. If you have a special kind of gamepad from a third party developer, use that instead. They typically have better D-pads.

Overall, the game just seems rushed, or incomplete. The lack of sound effects, the crazy difficulty and the lack of options and bad control just harm the game's fun factor. There is plenty to unlock, and there is a decent story tagged along on the game, but in the end this game is mediocre in every sense of the word. It will only appeal to die-hard X-Men fans, such as myself. If you are interested in the game, give it a rent. You might like it...its not a horrible game, it just could've been alot better.

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.
