The X3 game is out, and now I won’t buy it. Why? I love the X-Men! I really do, but it bothers me that there is not a single website I frequent who has posted a review of this game, and lately any time I have spent money on something that didn't have a pre-release review available I have regretted it. So with that said I have to ask what is it that the developers are hiding that they have not made it available for critics to review?

   I've been hearing rumors that the story's cut scenes are still images to make them more "comic book like" which does not work with the games art style, more over there is no lip movement which is simply inexcusable with today's technology. However, this is just a rumor, and may not be enough to completely destroy a game. What I want to know is how does the game play? Why should I shell out $60 for an Xbox 360 game when no one can tell me if they think it's any good?

   Frankly I miss the Capcom X-men games. It seems like (aside from Legends) there has not been many great games based on that license, and I have been waiting for a game based on the films for some time. It would be a severe disappointment in X3 the official game of the movie ends up sucking. Yet it would not be a surprise. So for now, I will not buy the game. If the developers are too afraid to let this game be reviewed than it is usually a telling sign that the game is going to be crap.
