Best Comic Book (Superhero) Video Game

[Ood Omega]

I also gave the Genesis ones a whirl. The first one was ok. Mostly I liked breaking the game with Nightcrawler. Don't remember the second one much.

I've never played the SNES version is it much different then the Sega one? In the sequel to the Sega one there are more characters and you fight Apocalypse at the end.

It's too bad that this thread isn't about the best comic book video game, otherwise the Walking Dead might be considered.

As for best, I used to love the X-Men games for Genesis, especially the 2nd one where you could play as Magneto

I love the first X-Men game for the Genesis. I played that game to death. It was so awesome, I even didn't mind that Gambit was in it.

In the arcades, I also loved the X-Men arcade game based on the "Pryde of the X-Men" X-Men universe. I'd play as Nightcrawler just for the pleasure of doing the trampoline jump on enemies that I had knocked down. So much fun. This and "Captain America and the Avengers" ate so many of my quarters back in the day. I can still remember the boss' catchphrases, like Blob's "Nothin' moves da Blob!" and Mandarin's "FEEEEEEL MAH POWAAAAAAAAH!"

And of course Magneto's classic "WELCOME TO DIE!"

I think it was better than the first Genesis game (haven't played the second one much). There were five characters that each had their own style to them. Fairly standard side-scrolling beat 'em up, but nothing game breaking like the Mojo level in the Genesis game.

It was "See my Powah".It's so classic,i used it as a title for my Mandarin appreciation thread

Except I wanted to ask people about the worst Superhero games as well.

It really is too bad that Spider-Man: Web of Shadows had so many glitches, because it had a lot of great innovations that would have made it the best Spider-Man game. I love the fact that you can call allies from the Marvel U. to aid you, the graphics can be very pretty, the different use of web-mechanics (definitely an improvement over Spider-Man 2), the wall-running/sliding...very cool stuff.

The best part of that game was the aerial combat. It was so much fun to have the fight on the air, where Spider-Man is supposed to fight!

Glitchy as hell, though.
