The gameplay has a nice balance to it, but is also fairly shallow. [Dec 2002, p.118]
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.
Factor in obscene load times and overly difficult enemy A.I., and it's a game that only rabid X-fans will enjoy.l [Jan 2003, p.194]
Slightly sluggish controls hurt the faster characters, leaving some of the mid-speed characters' blend of movement and power overbalanced in the grand scheme of things.
Outside of some lethargic controls, there is definitely some fun to be had with this brawler.
Unbalanced characters, cheap AI, and ugly graphics mar this game to the point that its' not even worth trying out.
Perhaps the most damning thing of all about Next Dimension though is that throughout our time with the game, we never once felt the impact of a blow or watched a character reel in pain – there’s virtually no weight to any attack and hit contact is unconvincing.
