Review by That Guy

"I mix of Streets of Rage and X-men."

For one,I am a very very big X-men fan,so that might help my score for this game,but I can assure you that X-men: Reign of Apocalypse will not be dissapointing by anyone who plays it,and that includes non X-men fans.I hope this review is helpful to you.

Graphics:10/10
The graphics in Reign of Apocalypse are damn good,it delivers smooth character designs,nice backrounds and
well crafted levels.The enemys are also great looking,along with the special attack each character has.People will be quite amazed when they see these graphics.Graphics no doubt deserve a 10 because there smooth and crisp.

Sound:8/10
The sound is okay,not the best I've heard,but still good.The backround music can get somewhat annoying,but other than that,Wolverines claws sound realistic,the sound
effects for the enemys are good,but don't deliver enough realism.Some people might turn the volume down because of the backround music,but it isnt all that bad.Somewhat annoying backround music,and good,not great enemy sounds earns the sound score an 8 out of 10.

Control:9/10
The controls are solid,very responsive,and comfortable.
The game has a great control scheme,but it suffers in other ways,for example,the characters move to slow,thus making it a tad hard to control,but that shouldnt affect any Gameplay or any other crap like that.The controls deserve a 9,but not a 10,because of what I just explained to you.

Gameplay:10/10
Gameplay no doubt deserves a 10,it plays fast,dosent suffer from any kind of slowdown,or glitches.But some people might find the Gameplay a bit boring because you first fight a pack of enemys,and when you beat them,you think you finally prevale,but you dont because the screen moves a couple of inches,and another pack of enemys come,so people might not like it because of that.But other than that,the gameplay is solid,period.

Fun factor:10/10
The fun factor is great,it deserves a 10 because it plays alot like Streets Of Rage,Its fun to beat the hell out of enemys,and its fun to control the x-men.Beat em up fans will be deeply amzed on how fun this game is.That may be over exagerating,but thats how I feel about this game.A fun game to play on the road,or at home,where ever you want to play it.

Best feature:The beatiful graphics and outstanding fun factor.
Worst feature:The annoying backround music.

Also try:ant Streets Of Rage game.

Final Statement:X-men:Reign of Apocalypse is an overall great game that deserves a 10 all the way,because of good graphics,nice sound,great control,and way above average fun factor.Guarenteed to be enjoyed by an X-men fan,thats why I like it so much,because I'm an X-men fan.

Overall score:10/10
