X-Men for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

X-Men

Not to be confused with "trans women"


Genre: action - hack n slash

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1993

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Nice movement, if a bit simple. Nice high jump. Punch, jump kick, and use your mutant ability which spends a meter which slowly recharges.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Typical Western mazes. Wander aimlessly in a huge area that all looks samey. Lots of blind jumps and cheap enemy placement. Ho hum


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

90s X-Men. The only problem is that you can't play as any of the ladies. What gives?


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Really nice sprites. They match the cartoon/comic books of the time. Mind you, they aren't as good as those in Capcom's X-Men games on the SNES. Minimal animation but it gets the job done. I wish they had made the platforms stand out more.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Annoying music and ridiculously bad sounds. The sound effects are much louder than the music. My 8 year old son was laughing and mocking the sound effects as I played. Who did the sound design on this game?


Overall Score: 64

Review ID: 1414
