Well, this is surely a different super hero game. Most of them have some sort of fighting involved. Not this one. This little gem requires nothing but skill. First you have to beat the opening level with Spiderman, which requires you to collect 19 cameras. 19? Man, Spidey must like collecting cameras. After that you have the choice of choosing Spiderman again, Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, or Gambit. Each character has two levels. Cyclops has three. The levels make you think a lot, so it’s not really geared toward younger audiences. It didn’t take me long to get past all the levels but one particular level still haunts me at night even after I beat it: Wolverine Stage 2. I shudder just mentioning the name. You’re in a circus with clowns throwing pies and bombs at you. Sound easy? Wrong. You can't kill any of them because they’re all up to high for you reach and shove your claws down their throat. And to make matters worse, you have Juggernaut chasing you, trying to stomp you in the ground. So you naturally start to run. But whats this? There's a wall in your path? Well just pop out your claws and slice the wall to shreds. But oh, no! While you were busy with the stinken wall, Juggernaut was still behind you. He then runs up and kills you before you even got through the wall. Arrgghh! I saved this level for last and I used up 8 lives trying to win. I still beat it but not without a great deal of aggravation. Game Play, Graphics, and the Originality all stink, but the music is a totally different story. Gambits theme is I think the coolest video game music EVER. So get this game and just beat the opening level. Then, listen to Gambits awesome theme. But if you’re deaf, then stay FAR away from this impossibly hard LJN created game.
