The character lineup for the game isWolverine,Rogue,Gambit,Cyclops,Havok, andShard.
The four reviewers ofElectronic Gaming Monthly said that the graphics are strong and there is a good selection of characters, but the game is not fun to play due to its clichéd mechanics, frustrating platforming, and enemies which take a tiresome number of hits to kill. Only Sushi-X defended the game, saying it "is not a great game, but it's interesting enough to be worth the cost for players who refuse to let the Game Gear die." They scored it a 4.5 out of 10.[3] A brief review inGamePro described the game as "above-average".[4]
