Marvel's X-Men
Reviewed by Ty Massei
Graphics: 2.5 out of 10
Sound: 3 out of 10
Gameplay: 2 out of 10
Hardness factor: 7 out of 10
Overall: 2.5 out of 10
Graphics: This game didn't have very good graphics at all. The color
schemes were way off, the characters look poorly developed, and enemies
don't even make any sense. Even the level layout is really bad. Probably a
port from the commodore.
Sound: The music in this game is almost as bad as the graphics are. The
songs get annoying quickly and the sound quality is very low. You'll
definitely want to mute this game.
Gameplay: A really bad platform (it's in an overhead view). You play as one
of the five original X-men (and you have a computer controlled character)
and you are supposed to fight or blast your way out of a level trying to kill
all the enemies and finding your way out. It's almost like a very bad Gauntlet
clone, only clones usually don't get this bad. The controls were really in this
game, but so was everything else.
Hardness factor: This game was pretty hard. Enemies usually swamp you
and you'll be dead before you know it. Some enemies are extremely powerful,
but usually they are just annoying.
Overall: 2.5 out of 10. I've played a lot of games based after comics and this
is probably the worst one. The controls were hard, the gameplay was
horrible, and everything about this game was just way below average.
