    This was one of my favorite ps1 games. Wolverine had the sickest grab of any fighting game. He would jump off his opponent Over their shoulder and as they turned their head wolverine would hit them with a kick launching his opponent across the stage. What made it so cool was the way they animated it. The way the camera spun around and the screen paused for a second, just long enough for you to think " oh crap " before getting blasted.

    Not everyone was an X-Men (2000) movie fan. I didn't mind, but I had many caveats. PS2 was new and hot, and PS1 was at its end. So, when a game came out, that one, and it was a Fighter, well, I took it as a TMNT Tournament Fighters type.
    It wasn't until Marvel vs Capcom, that people gave it a chance based on SF and the X characters being shown on the cover as their comic book counterparts.

      As an X-Men fan, the films were the worst at casting, depictions, and plot. The Marvel Comics version of the X-Men would easily destroy the 20th Century Fox versions of the characters, if there were a multiverse crossover.
      Also, Marvel vs. Capcom did a better job at depicting their superpowers.

    It was hard for this particular game to gain any type of success due to how amazing X-Men vs Street Fighter and other 2D fighters that follow the same formula were! I remember being at a Pizza Hut across town and the manager had to tell us that the arcade machines were for customers that we’re waiting for their orders only. So we all scraped up enough money to purchase two pizzas 🍕 We purchased 45 minutes in between so that we always were waiting for an order😅

    The tragedy is that the mid-90s SEGA console games were often developed just like this--in a terrible rush due to sudden changes in the roadmap from SoJ. As many games were canceled in those years as released, and several franchises saw no sequel at all. Compare SEGA's arcade division to their console business. Lots of game companies were rushing absolute garbage out to store shelves on impossible deadlines.

    This game came out after the WHOLE Marvel vs. Capcom series; it was small roster, boring combos, clunky looking character models, mainly basic fighting-game gameplay really did reduce this game down to a rental at the time. Even though the property was X-Men it didn't make you instantly feel fighting game love like Tekken 3, Tag or any of the Capcom fighters at the time. I know personally my issue back then was I was still learning how to extend my combos on MvC2 back then. I didn't really become a master at MvC2 until the 360 version came out for online play. So nah, not in my game Collection, I did not enroll to Mutant Academy.

    This game have professor x in it. Played a lot of this game and it does have some of the most technical combos if you actually look into it. The problem with this games is the same for console 3D fighting games during those times - Arcades and the growing switch to PC games like MMO's and 1st person shooters.
    It's not the game's fault since it's actually good and the bar systems for the supers are now adapted to some modern fighting games or very similar to it, like MK or Injustice.

    @deathcold_longplaysua4846 Год назад

    Didn't know about this game until I was introduced to emulation. I played it later and... well, to say that i'm not fan of it is not to say anything. But, before that, I played the movie based game and... oh boy, that was some frustrating experience! The only fun character to play was Nightcrawler. Everyone else sucked. Wolverine controlled like a brick on ice. Iceman is just a stupid shoot'em up level and game only shines when you get your hands on Nightcrawler. With his abilities and style of gameplay, it was fun to beat the missions. And then the missions. Most of them suck. Especially those escorting missions. Or the missions where you have to guard something or protect, until timer runs out, or until you defeat everyone. And come to think of it. When you play as Wolverine, you should be unstoppable, but on the practice, you keep failing, and not because you are bad at this game, but because the game itself is programmed badly. Or, devs simply didn't knew, how to make it enjoyable, and so they made it as is and got it out there for people to "enjoy". Anyway, I beat this game only once. But, as they say, through, fire, flames and rage. Thus why, X-Men movie game, based on old trilogy of movies, simply sucks. If only we could got something like X-Men Origins video game, back in the days, then that would be amazing for sure. But instead, we had that piece of crap. And don't get me started on later released X2: Wolverine's Revenge. Cause it is not a game, but a freaking build of unfinished something, that was not even tested.

    Another meaning were not gonna get a remaster of X-Men Mutant Academy 1 and 2 HD
    like Tony Hawk 1 and 2 HD any time soon?
    I mean it be nice if they did that, add all the fighters and levels from first and 2nd game and maybe some new ones,
    then improve the combat and gameplay, and add in more outfits.
