I've decided to begin a series of mini-reviews of the HyperScan games and other components of the system. Today I'll be covering X-Men, the game that came packaged with the console.
Of the four games I've seen and played (all but Spider-Man so far), X-Men far and away looks the best. While the other games feature graphics roughly on par or slightly superior to the Super NES,X-Men looks about equivalent or slightly superior to the PS1. Music is so-so; it's vaguely trance. Gameplay is about average--I didn't notice any significant delay or difficulties, especially in comparision to the other available HyperScan titles.
You can play in a tournament, train in the Danger Room, or play against a friend. If you play against a friend, you'll want to check your character cards before you get to the match--I ended up choosing a much higher level character card when I played against my partner, and it wasn't a fair fight at all.

Short version? If you played and liked Mortal Kombat, you'll probably like X-Men. (The game even includes finishing moves on the cards, ala Mortal Kombat.) Plus, this game is the best that anything's ever looked on the HyperScan.
