I remember how excited I was blowing my Christmas money on this game at Toys”R”Us, the year it came out.
Then I remember how depressed I was after playing it for two minutes, once I traveled an hour back home with my mind set on conquering the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
This game is absolute shit. It’s one of the worst video games I have ever played. It’s certainly the one that pissed me off the most after spending my own money on it back before I was old enough to even work.
Everything about this game is complete trash.
-The graphics
-The mechanics
-The controls
-The level design
-The generic, asshole enemies
-The sound
-The garish colors
-The second character’s AI
–EVERYTHING
I figured I’d play it again, for the first time in decades, to see if maybe I overreacted back in the day. Nope. This is still, hands down, the worst original Nintendo game that I personally paid for.
At least those Sega Genesis X-Men games kind of made up for this one.
Rating: 0.5/10
Pairs well with: other terrible 8-bit Marvel games.
