A Konami brawler, so not a lot going on mechanically. The central gimmick of mutant powers is cool, but then they're screen-clearing moves that drain health, so you're endlessly punching all the Sentinels and molemen or whatever for most of the game. Having done this in multiplayer, I can now confirm that it doesn't add a whole lot, you just have four (or six!) players doing the same thing over and over again. There is some fun with some of the enemy encounters (mostly Mystique), but otherwise... eh.

Being a casual X-Men fan, I guess Dazzler has her fans, but she definitely feels like the odd one out in this line-up.
