Portable X-Men looks pretty cool for the time, but the hit detection is what kills it. The mazes of each level aren't so bad, but when you get to the boss you had better have a plan because they can kill you in seconds and make you redo the level. Without looking at the life bar I didn't even know I was doing any damage to Magneto! The graphics are nice and the before-level pics are cool, but that's about it for these guys...
Players defeat enemies and navigate levels by punching, kicking, and jumping. Mutant abilities can be activated and deactivated. However, these mutant abilities drains the energy from the player's character. A new playable character is unlocked after finishing a level, including Storm, Rogue, Psylocke, Nightcrawler and Iceman.
There are several foes from the X-Men universe to defeat including Callisto, Sauron, Sebastian Shaw, Omega Red, a Brood Queen and Magneto. Each boss has their own stage based on various diverse settings from X-Men, including the Morlock Tunnels, the Savage Land, the Hellfire Club, Madripoor, the Brood homeworld and Avalon. These levels are often labyrinths of either technological wonders, biological wonders, or a mixture of both. As more X-Men are rescued, these allies can be called upon to take over as the player's character. Magneto serves as the final boss of the game.
