The X-Men series has enjoyed a boon in the last several years. The big screen outings have been mostly successful, and many more video games have been added to the X-Men lineup. Silicon Knights decided to jump into the mutant pool and see what superhero they could create, but their end product suffers from a severe lack of polish in the combat, graphics, and overall fun factor.

Mrs Nesbitt from BBG writes: "The superhero genre is massive in the movie industry with MCU dominating the scene with several Avengers movies and other subsequent titles. So, what about video games? Similar to the game to movie transition, movies have not always transitioned very well. (Dare I mention Charlie’s Angels for GameCube?) Luckily for us, we have had some spectacular superhero games, and equally, some downright “what were they thinking” titles."
PS1 Spider-Man Wins it for me because Stan Lee narrated it all, his opening speech alone gets you pumped, also Worst: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows...ew
I agree with the 1st spiderman. I have it on DC though. Hulk UD is a fun game as well.
Probably in the minority but I really enjoyed Batman Begins before the Arkham series came along.
Deadpool was trash though, it's surprising to me that Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker isn't on the list but then again that's probably a good thing.
Ah yes and Spider-Man (2000) man that game was my childhood but the sequel Enter Electro was so underwhelming.
Neocrisis - Does the emphasis on "choice," as opposed to a more traditional linearity, make Destiny stand out from the rest? Or does Destiny fall short of its potential?
I kept checking IGN on tuesday expecting a review & it never happened. I had this in my game q with gamefly & took it out the day before it released because i thought it didnt look to impresive, looks like i made a good call, most reviews are showing 5/10
I'm convinced Silicon Knights sucks at making games...1st Too Human and now this...just give it up. You can't blame Epic and the Unreal Engine for this crapware!!!
