I am a marvel fan and as soon as I saw this I wanted to get it, mostly because I heard that you could choose your team which for me meant Nightcrawler and iceman with whoever was left XD
In reality this is more of a co-op thing than I thought and even then it gets annoying when you are fighting and your mate legs it meaning you either teleport to them or you can't see yourself on the screen because you are too small...

.:: Graphics ::.

The graphics are brillient,not quite realistic but it still has it's charms on me with some good effects (which this is really all about) and some excellent cut-scenes...

4.5

.:: Gameplay ::.

The controls are easy to get the hang of and are the same from player to player with the only difference being in the powers, but really most of the time you will be attached to one character in the end...

THE GOOD:
Good variety of playable X-Men characters. Excellent voiceovers/dialogue. A seemingly infinite amount of objects to destroy. Unique gameplay setup allows up to 4 player co-op play simultaneously. Unlockable art and original Marvel Comics covers for viewing. Good RPG-based character building system.

THE BAD:
Cutscene graphics look too cartoony. The fighting (except for boss battles) quickly gets repetitive. Puzzles aren't too complicated. Character combos aren't all that impressive. Some character dialogue quickly gets repetitive. Menus are complex. Short but frequent loading when accessing menus get annoying.

SUMMARY:
The latest entry into the X-Men franchise allows you to control up to 4 X-Men at a time in various missions against Magneto, Mystique, and other legendary X-Men villians. The story revolves around Allison, a young girl whose mutant powers have just begun to reveal themselves and now both...

THE GOOD:
This game is a tad different than other RPG's. I was reluctant to buy this game due to lack of hype about it, but I think I made the right choice when purchasing this game.

The characters were cell-shaded, so it's pretty cool the way they look, with vibrant colors.

The storyline is pretty well done, and the fact that you get to explore the mansion is pretty awesome to itself. Not to mention how you can awesome collect comic books in the game.

The variety of characters that you get to play as, is awesome astounding. You can switch it up, and change characters at save points, so that you are not stuck with the same team through-out the game.

THE BAD:
Well with the cell shading, it was also an excuse for the makers to not add much detail to the characters.

And the camera angles are hard to get used to.

That's about it...

SUMMARY:
This game is a pretty good buy for anyone...
