Pros: A nice little treat for the Xbox Live community, this fun little side-scrolling "beat 'em up" boasts a fun multiplayer experience (4 local, with the potential for 2 additional players to join your game via Xbox Live). It's basically your run of the mill nostalgic side-scroller, but there are some nice features here. You have the option to player either the USA or Japanese versions of the game (the only main difference is in the subtitles, but I believe the number of lives and uses of special attacks vary).
You can choose from 6 different characters in the fight against Magneto, each of whom has his or her own unique special abilities: Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Dazzler, and Colossus. There's a boss at the end of each level, so no surprises there. The overall game itself can easily be completed within a half hour. Even on the expert difficulty, this game is not very challenging and gives any player the potential to score more points.
Cons: Some of the achievements were glitchy and did not register even though I completed them. The overall gameplay time is just about 30 minutes and does not justify the $10 price tag on Xbox Live.
