X-Men The Arcade Game.

I bought it, it's pretty cool playing as X-men but it definitely shows it's age after like 30 minutes of playing it, basically it's a good time killer. I would buy more of these only to support the idea of keeping these types of old school alive, hopefully Maximum Carnage gets put out sometime.

So having beaten that game with every character now, I can easily say Wolverine is the worst. His reach his horrible, I spent more time slashing air than I did enemies.

played this game most of the weekend. LOVE it! I thought it was longer, but looking back, its the kind of game you just pour quarters into and you eventually beat it!

He was. Hated having to be Wolverine in the arcade.

Downloading it now.

Magneto's lines are great.
"I am Magneto. Master of Magnet!"
"X-Chicken!" (At least that's what I think he's saying.)

i got this game asap tha day it hit xbla. this was always my fav arcade game as a kid. i played thru it like 3 times that same day too, but i havnt had tha opportunity to play it again. i need to beat it with tha other characters.

I'm on my 6th time beating this time. Dazzler and Storm are practically useless. Colossus and Nightcrawler always and forever.

^ I used Storm. She rocks it. Her tornado really tears them up.

It's directional. If nobody is in the way of the thing it's wasted. You can control where Kurt goes and Peter's powers basically do an a-bomb on the screen.

^ After playing through all of the characters, I agree. Kurt is the best. He's a tough target, his hand-to-hand is on the ball, even when you're surrounded, and, while kind of a wildcard at times, his bamf is the best mutant move. I liked Dazzler just a bit more than Colossus, but he is the character to be if you've never played. Cyclops is just...he's just terrible. He has the best jump kick, and that's not really worth mentioning. Heh. But now that I've played most, I'd say Storm is worst after Cyclops. Wolverine's awkward, don't really like using him.

Anyone else having trouble getting the "You Fell to Our Trap!" trophy? I've played it twice with 6 others and nothing... I've read that it's doing that to other people. Glitch?

Also, the only gold trophy "Master of Magnet" is too easy to get. Just play through once to obtain access to all the levels, then just use each character by going to directly to the final fight with Magneto. Kind of cheap, but you get the trophy.

Now, to beat it under 25 minutes.
