XBOXHome: X-Men: Destiny Review

XBOXHome: "Sadly, the most interesting facet of this game is probably the cover art. For long time fans of the X-Men franchise it’s somewhat disheartening to see such a title released sporting its namesake, but you can’t win them all can you?"

I'll still give it a try, despite the popular negative reviews it has received.

Negative reviews by the "wide press" should never be held as holy word. After all, Final Fantasy 12 received mostly negative reviews, but I loved that game. FFXII was defiantly better than Final Fantasy 13.

Still it's hard to give that game a pass . And FFXII didnt really received negative reviews , or at least very few . It was some fans that were vocal against it , even more so after famitsu gave it a (rather deserved) perfect score .

It is ugly and subpar looking , something most will at least agree upon ...
And imo a major crme when you adapt a comic books serie . Especially with activision as a multi recidivist .

Then if you're a comics fan , you'll be let down by their absymal use of the franchise's lore , or even the great skills of actual current xmen writer , Mike Carey .

Then the gameplay is mediocre ... i mean thor beat them all mediocre . And you'll fight almost the same foes the whole game

Finalement the so called rpg elements and choice system is poor and another crime toward the franchise . Hardly any grey area and potential branchs... you're a sucker for the x guys or the brotherhood ...

The game's only saving grace is that it finally caught up to some "recent" xmen comics events , instead of rehashing plots from the 90s .

I played and finished this game and i can honestly say this game is absolute garbage. I can see if reviewers where split down the middle but every review has been crap and they're right!

4 combos total, gamecube/ps2 grafx, terrible level design and repetitive gameplay. The only saving grace is they hand out trophies/chievos for every little thing you do.

Gamefly this when there is nothing else to gamefly.

The Best and Worst of Superhero Games

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

darthv722083d ago

I agree with the 1st spiderman. I have it on DC though. Hulk UD is a fun game as well.

Stalmaster2083d ago

Probably in the minority but I really enjoyed Batman Begins before the Arkham series came along.

MrsNesbitt2083d ago

Actually really enjoyed that too! But had to opt for Batman Returns on the SNES

hanko142083d ago

spider-man ten pin bowling was the best

AK912083d ago (Edited 2083d ago )

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.

X-Men: Destiny Review - Neocrisis

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?
