What can be said about X-men the arcade game that hasn't already been said? Not much really good or bad. But I'm here to throw in my two cents of information and give my take on the game.   Graphics 9: I decided to put the graphics at a 9. While there good they aren't perfect as I noticed a few times in my play through that there was some flickering when the screen filled with enemies. It didn't happen to often but when it did it was pretty noticeable. Wasn't game breaking or made me want to stop, but it can get annoying after awhile.   Sound 10: The music and sound effects in the game are perfect. That's why I gave this entry a perfect 10. The upbeat techno music you hear throughout the game makes you want to continue on and gets you pumped up for taking on the next batch of enemies. The sounds of the punches, kicks, and mutant powers are also a joy to listen to.   Addictiveness 10: This game is so addictive. I ended up playing  through the game a full 3 times before I sat down to write my review. It is that damn addictive. Its one of my favorite beat em ups of all time.   Story 8: I gave the story an 8 cause all it really comes down to is The X-Men taking on Magneto and The Brotherhood. I have been told in the past that the game is based on an unreleased X-Man series or a story from the animated cartoon we got. I have never seen anything X-Men animated so I cannot confirm nor can I deny it. Maybe I shouldn't have given the story an 8 but based on the game alone its what I felt it deserved.   Depth 4: The game has a depth of 4. Reason being is that at its core its a standard beat em up that's been slapped with an X-Men skin. There isn't a lot to it. Move left or right taking on mobs of robots and fight one of Brotherhood of Mutants as a final boss. While fun, the game get a bit repetitive after awhile.   Difficulty 5: I gave the game a difficulty of 5. Its not hard but its not easy either. Its just kind of in the middle. The easy part is being able to pump in infinite credits to continue. Other than that its not overly hard at all.Overall 9.8: Overall I gave the game a score of 9.8. After taking in all the previous scores I felt that 9.8 was fair enough.Final Thoughts: For my final thoughts I still think over 20 years the game is fun to play. Would you get more enjoyment out of it if your a fan of the X-Men? Yeah you probably would. But even if you're a fan of the beat em up genre in general then you might just find this game fun enough to play through.

I'm closing this because the review has poor formating i.e no paragraphss.
