Capcom makes a unique,top-notch X Men game

This X Men game is a combination of various genres, or as I like to call it, a side-scrolling fightemup. There is some platforming, some comboing like in a beatemup, and you're required to input certain buttons combinations for moves like a fighter. The sprites are big, the animations are smooth, and this is a good spin-off of Capcom's Marvel 2D fighters.
You can choose from 5 X-Men at the start, each with their own moveset and strengths, and each with their own initial stage tailored to their abilities. Once you finish the initial stages, you can choose which character to use for the remaining stages, and certain characters fit better than others. Overall, the action is fast, the stage designs are varied, and the game gives the player is good but fair challenge. This game may take a little while to learn, since you need to know moves for each character, and once all your characters run out of lives, you must restart the whole game.
But don't let that intimidate you, the difficulty curve is quite even and you will be able to do very well after a few tries. And too many games don't give the player enough challenge, in my opinion. It's worth noting that this game must have been done by the Mega Man X team. The adrenaline pumping synthesized guitar music, choosing which stage to play first, flashy explosions, and varied stages and bosses, there are so many signature trademarks of the MMX series.
