"Very short"
An action game where the X-Men face Magneto, it chains guided levels to run solo or in two, cleared in one session. Its brevity matches a compact format, more concerned with immediate action than scope. You advance for the cast of mutants to embody, the nervy pace and the direct joy of combat, more than for a long narrative progression.

Collector interest

LJN X-Men action title from late 1989, infamous chiefly for its dismal reputation, deceptive character-select screen and a self-destructing boss. That infamy has become its main collecting driver: it is sought as a fixture of the canon of notorious LJN games rather than for any merit. The rainbow LJN banner and its place in the first wave of Marvel licenses on NES make it a prized documentary curiosity.
