Information Review

X-Men: The Arcade is a video game published by Konami for the Xbox 360, set for release on December 15, 2010.

In the game, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Dazzler, Colossus and Nightcrawler must battle through Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in this action-packed beat 'em up based on the comic book franchise. A massively popular brawler from Konami in its time, the original X-Men: The Arcade Game featured six X-Men characters (all of which could be playable at a time on the massive 6-player kiosks) brawling through millions of Sentinal forces and evil X-Men opponents.

For the first time ever, the arcade action comes home in a complete reproduction of the original hit! The double-screen action has been conformed for more modern widescreen HDTVs, allowing all six mutant heroes to be on-screen at one time, and Xbox Live integration allows all your friends to join you in a cooperative strike on Magneto's armies.

•Cyclops, Colossus, Dazzler, Nightcrawler, Storm and Wolverine unite to use their special powers to save mankind and save Kitty Pryde and Professor Xavier.

•Super Villains such as Pyro, the Blob, Wendigo, Nimrod, the White Queen, Juggernaut and Mystique stand between the X-Men and the Master of Magnetism, Magneto.

•X-Men Arcade brings the fun and excitement of the hit arcade game to next-generation consoles as players can engage in multiplayer action with 1-4 players supported locally and 1-6 players supported online.

•Online Drop-in multiplayer is activated, allowing anyone to jump in on the battle at any time.

•Local/online leaderboards have been integrated to track statistics and scores. Players will be able to select the Custom Match Mode or Create Match Mode where they can establish themselves as the host and have the ability to control incoming players, number of players, difficulty setting, and starting level to have complete veto power over the match.

•For players looking for the ultimate X-Men challenge, multiple difficulty modes will also be available.
