    The gameplay has a nice balance to it, but is also fairly shallow. [Dec 2002, p.118]

    One of the biggest problems with this version is the controller.

    While it won't win any awards for fighting game of the year, it does offer enough by way of fan service and flashy combo depth to satisfy at least the faithful comic book readers and not-so picky fighting game casuals.

    Besides a real lack of polish on the models and backgrounds in Dimension, it just feels mediocre when stacked against competition like "DOA," "Kakuto Chojin," and "MK Deadly Alliance." [Jan 2003, p.81]

    Best X-Men game ever. Future Marvel games can only get better. Poor reviews made price drop quickly so real fans can get it cheap! Better than games with DC comics characters.… Expand
