So Who Picked Up X-Men Arcade?

[Mendoza]

I've waited a long time for this game to make it to xbox live arcade, and I have to say it was well worth the wait.

Now of course its a coin eating beat'em up so yeah you can finish the game super fast, but its a blast. I like how they added the japanese version of the game as well, that was a nice touch that could have simply been left out.

Did anyone else get it today, and if so we need to have some team ups.

Was there a difference between the US version and the Japanese version? Aside from text I'm assuming?

I think this is the one i spent $20.00 on in one sitting as a kid...

I did...

I'm finding it very hard to beat the entire game with 5 other players online.. But then again, I had it when it was only out for a few hours... I'll try again soon.

Also, Colossus is the man.

Japan's has power-ups like health and orbs if you're playing multiplayer. Which I find way more badass... In the 'Merican version, you can play after beating Magneto.

There are health pick ups in the japanese version, and some japanese text. All of the voices are still in english er engerish.

Cool.

I can't understand the reviews of this game.

People bash it for being super short and having unlimited continues.

It was an early 90's coin stealer. Its not going to be long, and most people i know appreciate being able to beat the game.

I remember spending 10 dollars along with 5 other people to beat the game in the arcades.

This is why we can't have nice things, sheesh!

Also. It doesn't have unlimited continues if you're playing solo.... I learned this the hard way

I got it, but haven't been able to spend too much time with it though.
What I've seen looks pretty cool.
$10 is a bit much, but I like to support this stuff and at least it seems that they put a lot of polish and features into it.

Yeah i think the price was a bit much. I think its about as much as you can charge for it. 5 would have been more fair, but that is a bit much to ask really. I dont think microsoft likes letting games be 5 anymore.

Though now that i think of it, i spent that much to beat it in the arcade, so now i pay the same amount to own it. Fair i guess.
