Alright Game, Great Soundtrack! Nostalgiafest!

So/So graphics, so/so gameplay, Great music! Steeped in the 70's perhaps, but the audio tracks are much longer than most of it's time, and considering the limitations of the hardware, especially considering it was only a 2nd generation title, they did a very good job of making the instruments sound authentic. It is interesting to note though that the character sprite for Wolverine is basically the same one as in the 1991 NES release, Wolverine only upgraded to 16-bit. The stance is the same, the movement is basically the same minus a couple extra frames of animation in the SNES rendition (also, Wolvie has a few new moves in the SNES one) I wonder if the guy who did the music for Spiderman/Xmen also did the music for Wolverine. Also somewhat 70's also very good. And then there's the totally broken extra lives cheat in gambit's first level. Even aside from the music, this game is a game not without merits. The controls, while fairly limited are very comfortable and totally responsive. And some of the level ideas are pretty clever. Wolverine and Gambit's especially. No, this doesn't go on the greatest games ever list, but I am very glad I have it. I should also mention that this game is filled to the brim with sentimental value for me...we got the SNES christmas of 92, it came with Mario World, the folks added Zelda, and then took us out to pick out a game...Spiderman/Xmen was the one. Perhaps the nostalgia makes my review more favorable that it otherwise would be, but I just feel nothing but warmth for this game.
