X-Men: Mutant Academy for PlayStation 1

Pros: see the review....
Cons: read on...

Ever since the old Capcom fighter, X-Men Children of the Atom came out long ago, I’ve been longing for another game based on the X-men. With the movie to be released this Friday and this game now in my hands, I’ll be in bliss for quite some time.
...

Pros: Interesting to start with. Good imagery.
Cons: Repetitive

Perhaps I am a little late in writing a review on this product. The hype is over, the movie is one DVD, Patrick Stewart is probably in a nursing home (only joking) and I have had this game for a while. However, as it is one of my most played games, I...

Pros: Graphics, Sound, Throws.
Cons: Everything Else!

Pros: Graphics, Voice-overs, combo's, attack specials
Cons: lack of characters, lack of gameplay

Believe it or not, I got this game for free. It all started when me and my cousin was in my room listening to the radio. We were listenin 2 97.9 the box and they said,"Be the ninth caller and you could win up to $100 and the new X-Men Mutant Academy"....

Pros: Graphics
Cons: Not enough characters

Despite what the title says, this game is enjoyable for the average game fan. The colors are vivid, the sound is clear and complete with character voices from the cartoon, and the gameplay is right out of the standard Street Fighter game book. That...

Pros: Nice graphics, voices done by either movie or cartoon counterparts, free X-Men movie ticket included
Cons: Cheap, cheap, cheap fighting engine, low character count

How, after being in development for years (the first attempt at making this game was for Sega's long dead 32X add-on), did this game turn out so poorly? Where, Activision, did you go wrong?

Well, first of all, the gameplay leaves much to be...

Pros: Nice graphics and animation, some extras related to the movie
Cons: Too easy, lack of balance, some bugs

X-Men Mutant Academy is one of those games that cashes in on a popular movie and doesn’t really, truly deliver to the fans. This game came out right before X-Men was released in theatres and even includes a copy of the movie trailer on the disc. While...

Pros: Has The costumes from the movies, teaches you to do the mutant power moves.
Cons: Only Ten charecters.

Let me start off by saying that this is my first X-Men game for playstation. I didn't play the Marvelvs. Capicom or any of the others so I can't realy compare.

The are only ten charecters in this game. There is Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit,...

Pros: Graphics
Cons: No Replay Value

The X-men have been hot as of late, with a new movie out and now a video game. This is the year of X. and I as a comic fan couldn't be happier. I bought this game solely on the bases that it is an X-men item.

When I first saw the game on the...

Pros: Very in depth for a fighting game.
Cons: Controls are hard to execute and memorize.

Being a Tekken fan, this game kinda spoke to me at first. Fighting, combination moves, violence, and kicking some mutant butt. Married with the fact that I'm a huge X-Men fan, comic lover, movie fan and video game nut, this should have been a no...

Pros: Good action, great characters
Cons: Some special moves EXTREMELY hard

As a devoted X-Men fan, I was a little worried on how Activision was going to adapt the X-Men to the Playstation format. Luckily Activision had someone on their team that was an X-Men fan, because they succeeded in a huge way!

X-Men Mutant...

Pros: Great Visual effects, great character animation
Cons: Characters not always part of the background

This game was a welcome addition to my collection. When I first rented this game,(A few weeks before I bought it...)I had high hopes for it. Those hopes were indeed, not let down. The characters are smooth and well animated. The voices matched what one...

Pros: Great use of "The Matrix" effect during fighting.
Cons: A little too easy.

When I first heard that there was a new X-Men game, like all of you, I cringed. With X-Men: Mutant Academy I was pleasantly surprised. It isn't a cheesy knock-off of the Tekken series and it's not anything close to X-Men vs. Spiderman. The game really...

Pros: Graphics, Sound, moves, and maybe a few others.
Cons: hhmm...not enough characters, kinda hard if you dont know the controls.

like i said, it could have been better, ALOT better. The graphics are really good, the moves and throws are good, and the sound is really cool. But the controls are kinda hard to remeber. And it doesnt have enough characters at all. Only the ones from...
