Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Playing X-Men: Next Dimension requires looking at the moves menu. A lot. If you're the kind of person who likes to memorise lists of moves--maybe even finds it fun as it gives you a sense of accomplishment--this game is for you. If you just want a game to play with some friends without cramming as if for an exam, you'd be better off with a different fighting title.

But who doesn't love the X-Men? They're all represented here. The biggies (both good and bad): Wolverine, Rogue, Storm and Cyclops as well as Magneto, Mystique and Sabretooth. Other favourites also made the cut, including Gambit, Nightcrawler and Forge. The backgrounds are terrific, and in a particularly impressive design element, you can drift into other landscapes from your original map. For example, if while fighting from inside Dr X's mansion, you throw your opponent out the window, you'll find yourself outside on the garden map. It's a good trick, and it almost makes the load time between games reasonable (rematches are quick, but reloads that change environments are painfully slow).

Each character has their own special "super meter" attacks, and all are fitting of the mutant power detailed in the comic books. Playing one-on-one with friends in versus mode, you can calibrate your character so practised players have less "energy" for a more balanced game. These touches are appreciated. So while it's not as addictive as Tekken or any similar benchmark game, X-Men still has appeal with a reasonably well-thought-out game design and endearing character elements. --Jennifer Buckendorff

Product Description
X-Men: Next Dimension plunges players into a powerful enemy's plot to rid the world of mutants. Leaving traditional section-based fighting games in its wake, it's the only console fighter game that carries epic superhero showdowns across expansive 3-D levels. Players fight as 20 different X-Men characters (plus four secret characters to be unlocked) through interactive environments, replete with combat-induced damage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, 19 Aug 2003
By MR J T RENDALL (Tranent, East Lothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I'm a huge fan of X-men and loved this game!!! There is a variety of characters (Wolverine, Cyclopse, Storm, Pheonix, Deathstryke, Toad and lots more) and many place to fight in. I loved the moves they could do. If you were to get this game I'd unlock the other charactors cause their pretty cool too. The story mode is brilliant but difficult (s'pose it would be rubbish if it was too easy!). There is lots of things to unlock from an extra six costumes for the charactors, new charactors, and new arenas. I'd recommend this game for x-men fans and non x-men fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good fighter, even better if you're and X-Men fan., 12 Jan 2005
By Ian Tapley "thefragrantwookiee" - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
THE STORY:
Take control of the X-Men and attempt to stop a new threat to all mutantkind. Or bash your friends senseless in VS Mode. The 24 playable characters are Cyclops, Phoenix (and her dark alter ego), Wolverine, Gambit, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Betsy Braddock (and her alter ego Psylocke), Storm, Beast, Havok, Forge, Lady Deathstrike, Magneto, Mystique, Sabretooth, Toad, Bastion, male and female Sentinels, Bishop and the Blob.

WHAT'S GOOD:
As it stands, this is a pretty good beat-em-up, with the terrain interaction (throwing through windows, smashing into walls etc) being an especially nice touch. Visually it's excellent, with great backgrounds, a host of alternative character outfits and entertaining cutscenes. The X-Men element of the game is what really puts the icing on the cake, however. Each of the characters is very true to their comic origins and have powers that simply look amazing when employed. The super special moves will blow you away as you rack up 50+ hit combos. My favourite touch was having the English woman (Psylocke/Betsy) say 'Bugger'. They even got Patrick Stewart to voice Professor X!

WHAT'S BAD:
It's not the best game of it's type and is buoyed up mostly by it's franchise ties. The one player story mode is tedious and (when you reach the Male Sentinel) almost impossible. This is made worse by the inability to save between matches, meaning that if you get frustrated and want a break, you have to start right from the beginning again. This frustration factor means that replay value rapidly decreases.

4.0 out of 5 stars eXcellent !, 20 Jan 2003
By O. Southwood "owensouthwood" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I love the X-Men, so perhaps my opinion is biased. But I am also a discerning PS2 gamer who knows a good game from a bad one. X-Men: Next Dimension, is without doubt, a good one. The characters are a joy to behold, nicely rendered with some incredibly cool moves. The 3D interactive backgrounds are the best I've seen in a fighting game. They really put the Tekken and VF games to shame. The FMV sequences are also far better than anything else out there. I find this game very addictive, especially the Story Mode which is downright difficult! I've given only 4 stars because of a minor niggle - the audio. It would have been nice to have more interesting vocals and one-liners from the characters. But over all, I reccomend this game to ANYONE who likes fighting games - whether X-Fan or not.
