I previously played the now delisted Xbox 360 port. This is still among the best X-Men games I ever played!!! It might be a little weird having two versions that differs the amount of players. The port I played was based on the six player version. You get to play as one of six X-Men characters. You get to fight a lot of Sentinels. You also face some big named X-Men villains. Let's not let parts of the Engrish ruin the experience. Konami previously done TMNT and The Simpsons amazingly well at the arcades. Parts of the game based on a failed X-Men cartoon pilot, X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men. Which led to X-Men: The Animated Series a few years later. It's failure led to a great cartoon show as well as this game. There's not many notable differences region wise. The game never gets boring but still expect to die a lot. Thankfully the port gives you infinite continues. Online co-op isn't perfect I confess. You also could argue how some X-Men games are better than this. At the same time, if you can't play those better X-Men games. Then this would be the next best thing. It's a fun licensed beat em up that makes you proud to be an X-Men!!!
In my youth this game was one of the best wsys to enjoy connecting with characters that wowed me from Marvel. Beat’em ups are trending again and this game really need to see the light, and perhaps get a remake or spiritual sequel. Some of use are mortified to have only this title trapped on the PS3 hardware.

Hokuto no KenHokuto no Ken is a video game released in Japan on July 20, 1986 by Sega for the Sega Mark III gaming platform. It is a side-scrolling action game that follows the events depicted in the first television series from Kenshiro's battle against Shin and his gang to his final showdown with Raoh. The game consists of side-scrolling levels where the player must reach the goal while defeating numerous enemy grunts and sub-bosses along the way, each leading to a one-on-one battle with the stage's boss. Despite featuring similar gameplay, this game is unrelated to Toei's video game version of Hokuto no Ken for the Family Computer released a few months later. The game's lead programmer was Yuji Naka, who would later be known for his work on the Sonic the Hedgehog game franchise. Despite appearing on the cover artwork, Rei does not actually appear in this game.
The original Mark III version game is included along with an enhanced remake in Sega Ages 2500 Hokuto no Ken for the PlayStation 2 in 2004. The game was later re-released for the Wii Virtual Console in Japan on February 26, 2008. An overseas version of the game was produced for the western Master System titled Black Belt, which lacked the Hokuto no Ken license of the Japanese version and featured altered graphics as a result.New Action Science fiction
