It's no secret that GameCube ports often get the shaft. In the case of X-Men, it got it so bad that we're honestly amazed. All other versions support widescreen, but this one doesn't. Various progressive-scan modes are also available on other consoles, but not here. Hell, the game's just chunky and sloppy all around, a real waste of a perfectly capable system. If you can buy any version, don't make it this one. Then just go check out the movie instead.

You'll hate

  • How interesting this could have been
  • Slideshow cutscenes are mega cheese
