... power ups, just like special attacks in Tekken. These are all available from the moment you master them, none require you to reach a certain level of gameplay before use. The training academy gives a chance to play around with these powers, get to know the controls, and master the combos needed to win. The arcade is simple, and again familiar, but the chance to unlock "special content" (various pictures from both comic and film, and new costumes) adds a little extra to it - not enough to justify the pur...more

If you grew up with Tekken, there is nothing new that will leap out at you in this game. If you didn't, then you'll probably spend more time frustrated and trying to grasp the basics than you will playing. This doesn't mean it's a bad game. I'm actually a big fan - I grew up with fighter games like this one, and it's interesting to see it translated across to the world of X-Men. The gameplay might not be new, but the familiarity helps when you're trying to master new combos - each character's power can be unleashed through various button combos and power ups, just like special attacks in Tekken. These are all available from the moment you master ... Read the complete review

Being a big fan of Marvel I rented this game out thinking that it would be a class game, I could not have of been more wrong. Well what can I say? This has to one of the worst beat-em-ups ever made. The best games that contain the X-Men are the Marvel VS Capcom series, for the Dreamcast, and compared to these, X-Men Mutant Academy does not stand a chance. XM-MA has roughly around 10 characters and 4 to unlock, which all are poorly designed and the moves are next to impossible to perform, due to the fact that they are so long, it is hard to do them without being attacked. The buttons to do the moves are practically the same for every character and when ... Read the complete review

This game is crap. Nuff said. Well, the game isn't exactly crap, just very poor. The graphics and animations are good but that is about it. There are only a handful of characters, the moves are sometimes totally impossible to get off, and there aren't enough of them. Look at the options - get Tekken 3 (which is a couple of years old now) or X-Men: Mutant Academy. Tekken 3 has about 25 totally different characters with totally different moves and animations for each one. XM:MA has about 10 characters and each one has about nine moves, which are the same button combinations as the next mutants nine moves. The most popular is the fireball punch ...
