DHGF: I don’t know what’s harder – to come up with a complete list of everything that is wrong with X-Men Destiny or to try and find something positive to say about the game. Since the former is longer, let’s go with the latter. X-Men Destiny is neither the worst X-Men game ever made, nor is it even close to being the worst game of the year. Make no mistake though, it is truly terrible in all respects unless you love all button mashing games – even ones that are horribly buggy and are hit with constant slowdown for the entirety of your time with it. The best thing I can say about the game is that it IS playable if you really want to put yourself through that experience. Other than that, this is a game you should only experience when it is in a budget bin and only then if you really want to waste some money or see how far Silicon Knights has fallen in the past decade.

Mrs Nesbitt from BBG writes: "The superhero genre is massive in the movie industry with MCU dominating the scene with several Avengers movies and other subsequent titles. So, what about video games? Similar to the game to movie transition, movies have not always transitioned very well. (Dare I mention Charlie’s Angels for GameCube?) Luckily for us, we have had some spectacular superhero games, and equally, some downright “what were they thinking” titles."
PS1 Spider-Man Wins it for me because Stan Lee narrated it all, his opening speech alone gets you pumped, also Worst: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows...ew
I agree with the 1st spiderman. I have it on DC though. Hulk UD is a fun game as well.
Probably in the minority but I really enjoyed Batman Begins before the Arkham series came along.
Deadpool was trash though, it's surprising to me that Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker isn't on the list but then again that's probably a good thing.
Ah yes and Spider-Man (2000) man that game was my childhood but the sequel Enter Electro was so underwhelming.
Neocrisis - Does the emphasis on "choice," as opposed to a more traditional linearity, make Destiny stand out from the rest? Or does Destiny fall short of its potential?
