Hey all welcome back. I'm Sticky Sweater and today I'm going to talk about a rather controversial game, X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse for the Super Nintendo.

Before comic book movie summers were common place, fans got their fix from other places: TV shows, action figures and of course, games and man were there a lot of them! I'd guess to say only about 25 percent of them were any good and X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse was one of the better ones, or at least one of the best looking games of the time.

X-Men games have always been pretty linear but this game at least gives you the choice of which character you want to play first, although you do have to play through them all. Later you get to choose which character you'd like to play for each level.

I'm not gonna lie to you, the controls are a little stiff, particularly on the less nimble characters like Cyclops and Beast, but Wolverine and Psylock handle pretty well, with Gambit being a middle of the road character.

The best part about this game is that it's an X-Men game, and when you've gotta have that x-gene fix, you'll be willing to make that sacrifice. The second best part of the game is the visuals. The characters are huge, which makes for a lot of detail on our heroes. Even if it's not quite as expansive as you might like.

You get to fight a lot of the series' biggest villains, including Sentinels, Juggernaut, Omega Red, Apocalypse and of course Magneto.

On the negative side, the game could have used more characters, and even though the sprites are beautiful, more viewing space would have been better.

I'd say if you have the option, consider X-Men for the Sega Genesis instead, but if you've had your fill of that, this might satisfy your platforming X-Men urges.

In my opinion, it's a great game, but it was really hard to beat at some parts.
