Do NOT waste yo time on this!!
Story: 6/10
- The storyline is weird because 1: the villain of the game is a character I have never heard of from the cartoon. Plus, the storyline is weak to me. In the first level, the player controls Spider-Man who must use his spider sense to disarm several bombs located throughout the immediate exterior and maze-like entrance to an abandoned building. After the player completes this level Spider-Man learns that the evil Arcade has kidnapped Storm, Cyclops, Wolverine, and Gambit. The player must successfully complete each character's level (each set in Arcade's deadly "Murderworld") in order to get to control Spider-Man in a final battle with Arcade.
Gameplay: 4/10
- I hate the gameplay! Everything is so hard to beat! Spider-Man's levels consist of: New York City rooftops with the bosses being the flying demon N'astirh and Shocker in the first stage, with Rhino and Carnage in the second stage. Storm's levels consist of: underwater level with Storm having a limited air supply. Her bosses were various machines used to control the giant tank-like levels. Wolverine's levels consist of: circus-themed first level with the boss being Apocalypse at the end of the first stage, and a rampaging Juggernaut chasing him throughout the second stage. Gambit's levels consist of: two stages, both of which take place in a cave where a giant spiked ball is chasing him; the first level boss being a giant playing card, the final boss a gigantic version of Black Queen. Cyclops' levels consist of: two stages, plus a final "boss stage" after the second stage; the first and second in a giant mine complete with mine carts and multiple Sentinel, with the final boss being the Master Mold within its own final stage. Every stage is uniquely difficult (like I said before) in that they all require that the player have some knowledge of the stage prior to playing! Even knowing the exact layout each stage can be difficult and can require ridiculously precise timing! A great example of this is one of the hardest stages in video game history: the Juggernaut stage, also known as Wolverine's second stage. In this stage the player is being chased down by the boss (Juggernaut) from the very beginning! There are only two ways to damage the boss! The first way to cause damage is to drop anvils down either on his head or in his path. The second way to damage the boss is to slice the Juggernaut with the normal punch move or the uppercut. This requires that the player get close enough to actually hit the boss, leaving little room for error!
Graphics: 6/10
- The graphics is not all that bad but, The X-Men's costumes on the Sega Genesis' box-art are different than the ones worn in the game. On the box-art, Wolverine has his yellow and blue costume from the '90s cartoon, Cyclops has his '90's cartoon outfit and Storm has her '90's full-bodied white costume, but in the game Wolverine has an orange and brown costume, Cyclops has a blue and white X-Factor costume and Storm has her full-bodied gray costume from the late '80s! So they surely deceived you there!
Sound: 5/10
- I hate all the sound effects of the game. Their is nothing to say about it actually. The music is incredible! How come a game this sorry, have such great music?!
Overall, I give this game a 5/10. Playing this game would be a waste of time but, it is not worst game out there.
