Author's Review
X-Men's first GameCube title has arrived in the form of an excellent fighter called "X-Men:Next Dimension".

Many characters from the comic series appear in this game. Cyclops, Wolverine, Phoenix, Bastion, Sentinel, Juggernaut, Magneto, Storm, Rogue and many more. Each has several costumes (you need to unlock most of the costumes). Each person has different specials and moves that they do.

There is several modes to play in:

Story- You play as the X-Men trying to stop Bastion and his Sentinels. You have some choice of who you will fight as at times.

Arcade- 10 battles in a row.

Survival- Battle after battle until you die.

Time Attack- Beat the best times.

Practice- A mode to practice moves on others.

Versus- A 2 player mode.

There is movies to watch, once you beat story mode and other modes. They are pretty good as well.

The 2 downfalls of the game:

Glitches- They can sometimes appear alot or other times..they don't at all. Some glitches are, opponent randomly disappears(not a normal part of the game!), opponent goes off the screen, etc.

Can't fight yourself- In other fighters, you can have a battle of the same person.. but not in this game.

Other than those 2 flaws, the game has alot of gameplay and replay.
