    Even on easy, beating the story means a thumb-callusing workout (And progress can't be saved.) [Feb 2003, p.78]

    The seamless and responsive control scheme found in DOA3 just cannot be found in XND.
  3. GameZone

    While the fighting mechanics are decent at best, the game fails to capture the raw excitement of playing as a favorite superhero or villain.
  4. GamerWeb Xbox

    One of the biggest issues I had was with the rigid clunky feel to the characters. Punches and kicks didn't seem to flow correctly.
  5. TotalGames.net
    60
    The characters themselves seem to fight more like they have nagging arthritis rather than immeasurable mutant powers. And the FMV sequences would insult even PS2 owners.
  6. Gamer's Pulse
    42
    Fighting games need deep, balanced gameplay to rise to the top, but X-Men: Next Dimension is severely hampered by shallow, unbalanced fighting action.
  7. GameSpy

    If I didn't know any better I would say the developer purposely sabotaged this one in order to make the Xbox look bad.
