X-Men: Next Dimension

Thank you, works great.

Controls will definitely take some time to do it used to, gameplay can also be clunky at times but it's got all the X-Men characters and some pretty decent background interactions a great game for a collector of X-Men memorabilia. Once you figure out how to properly use powers and combos you will enjoy this game even more definitely use the start menu as a guide for what to push.

This is a good installment of the X-men saga. And a must-have for Marvel collectors.

I heard about it. Never played it before, until now. Looks good

decent price and was factory sealed. completely happy with purchase

this game came in excellent condition and is fun to play.

Works flawlessly and very satisfied with it. Thank you.

I had seen this game in the store several times and didn't pay it much attention. My friend who works in the game store told me I would enjoy it. Once I started playing I was hooked. Unlike other games that have used X-men characters, this one really seems to bring them to life. I don't know how this game plays on the other two systems but it plays beautifully on Gamecube. Load times are short, graphics are smooth, and gameplay is flawless.First off, it is a 3-D fighter. The gameplay is reminiscent of Tekken. There are two punch buttons, two kick buttons, one throw button, and one counter button. This game is all about timing. The counter button is tough to use but nice to have, since you're timing has to be great. You hold back to block like Tekken. Unlike Tekken, where characters have lists of 40+ moves and some very complicated patterns, the move list is shorter, usually about 20-30, and are not too difficult to execute. If you like games where the moves are overly complex, you will not like this game. This is the type of game where a decent gamer, who may not be a master at games like Tekken, can master a number of characters in a relatively short time and not get bored. Sidestepping and jumping are easy in this game.There are similarities to DOA in this game as well. The backgrounds are interactive. You can knock somebody up against a car and it will blow up, or a control panel and receive a serious jolt. Other than the danger room, all of the boards have multiple areas. If you hit a character hard enough and in the right direction you can knock them into another area. For example, you can start in the mansion hallway, knock them into the study, out the window onto the basketball court (which opens up like the movie), fall down into the hangar, knock you're opponent onto the elevator and wind up back in the hallway again. You're not restricted to one backdrop for an entire match. Even the danger room has multiple holographic backdrops, such as a Roman coliseum and a WWII battlefield. You can even use poles and walls to bounce your opponent off of. There are 7 boards, some with up to four different areas.Now one thing that makes this game more fun to play is the power-up bar for your X-powers. It fills up Level 1, then Level 2, then Level 3, and once all three Levels are filled, you can use your Level 4. Each characters super moves require slightly different combos to get off but nothing too difficult to remember. Now lets say that you don't like your characters Level 1 move and prefer their Level 3 move, or vice versa. You can move the energy from other bars to the one you want. Press and hold the Z button and B, Y, and X will pop up over your meter at the top. Press the button corresponding to the meter you want to use and simply shift everything to it.All of the moves and super moves in this game exploit each mutant's abilities to the fullest. Unlike all of the Marvel vs. Capcom games that treat each character like a Street Fighter character, this game treats each like an individual X-men.One addition to this game that is much like a Capcom 2-D fighter is air attacks. I haven't quite figured out how to use them but if you knock your opponent up in the air, you can continue to hit them once they're airborne and even execute a super move. In fact, all characters have one super move dedicated for use while in the air.There are 24 characters total. You start with access to 17. 3 are visible but locked. 4 are hidden by question marks and have to be unlocked through certain actions. Each character has 8 costumes. Some costumes are slight variations while others are drastically different. Characters for immediate play include: Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Storm, Beast, Phoenix, Toad, Mystique, Sabretooth, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Forge, Juggernaut, Betsy, Havok, and Lady Deathstrike. Sentinel A, Sentinel B, and Bastion are visible but locked. Psylocke, Bishop, Dark Phoenix, and Blob are hidden and must be unlocked. All characters are equally dangerous and well-balanced. Most have projectile weaponry of some sort, and those that lack it, make up for it in other ways.On top of the nice blend of different aspects of various fighting games, the graphics are top-notch, the music is sweet and makes you feel like you're in a movie. The voice acting is great and you really get a feel for your character. Throw in great movies, which you can watch again once you have unlocked them, several different modes (Story, Arcade, Versus, Survival, Time Attack, Team, and Practice), and the fact that Patrick Stewart does the voice of Charles Xavier, and you've got one great game. Plus, if you don't feel like going through the trouble of unlocking everything, there is a code that does it for you: quickly press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B, Start, Start at the main menu. A message will confirm correct code entry. Then save it to your memory card.Its nice to find an X-men game where Wolverine is not automatically the best character. I highly recommend this game.

Brand new and good price
