The gameplay has a nice balance to it, but is also fairly shallow. [Dec 2002, p.118]
77
Offers decent graphics, excellent gameplay and a respectable replay value, even if its sounds aren’t top of the line.
73
One of the biggest problems with this version is the controller.
72
While it won't win any awards for fighting game of the year, it does offer enough by way of fan service and flashy combo depth to satisfy at least the faithful comic book readers and not-so picky fighting game casuals.
70
A solid fighter that just can't quite climb up to what "Tekken" and "VF" have offered.

A solid fighter, but not a great one...The often weak graphics, unacceptable load times, and poor audio make this feel like a game that was rushed out the door.
67
Factor in obscene load times and overly difficult enemy A.I., and it's a game that only rabid X-fans will enjoy.l [Jan 2003, p.194]

It's not going to replace or even come close to your fighting game of choice.

Poor collision detection keeps this title a step below "Tekken" and "Virtua Fighter." [Holiday 2002, p.54]

Slightly sluggish controls hurt the faster characters, leaving some of the mid-speed characters' blend of movement and power overbalanced in the grand scheme of things.
