Some might even say they are too large as it is easy to wander around with no direction. Each stage is absolutely massive, with multiple paths and secrets abounds. You’ll visit the Savage Land, Excalibur’s lighthouse in England, the Shiar Empire, and even the future. The screwy Danger Room gives the game an excuse to revisit the most popular locations in X-Men lore. Other X-Men make cameos as one time use power-ups Archangel, Storm and Rogue deal massive damage, Iceman creates bridges, and Jean Grey will carry you out of pits. It can be wonky to use sometimes but is more than worth it. I almost believe the game was designed for you to exploit it. Moving through walls allows you to bypass large sections of each level. While he isn’t the most agile or strongest character his teleportation is game breaking. The real all-star though is Nightcrawler. But every little bit helps in this masochistic game. His mutant power regens faster than everyone but more importantly he regains health too! Very slowly. Let’s ignore that his claws are treated as a mutant power. Gambit has the same problem but his staff makes up for it. Cyclops definitely comes up short in this regard his small optic blast is easily avoided. The mutant power bar governs how long you can use your powers and slowly regenerates. Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, and Nightcrawler are the playable characters and each has small differences. A small X-Men team must brave each environment while Professor X works to behind the scenes to release them from the now deadly training environment. Magneto has released a virus into the Danger Room, removing its safety controls and causing it to create random scenarios. But a host of niggling flaws bring down what could have been an excellent adventure. Their Genesis debut from Sega initially seems like the title we all dreamed of. Spider-Man and the X-Men seemed like it could have been a good game (or maybe that was my wishful thinking) but in reality is anything but. I’ve reviewed Deadly Towers, Mega Man X7, and other awful games and still actively avoiding that one. Their NES outing is one of the worst games of all time. The X-Men had a, how shall we say, “Rough start” when it came to video games.
