    Of the three versions, the GameCube release of X-Men: Next Dimension is the best -- strictly in a relative sense, of course.

    Like so many other licensed games, seems to focus more on the presentation and style of the characters than the actual game itself.

    Besides a real lack of polish on the models and backgrounds in Dimension, it just feels mediocre when stacked against competition like "DOA," "Kakuto Chojin," and "MK Deadly Alliance." [Jan 2003, p.81]

Fortunately what saves it from a big fat 0/10 is the character selection. Through all of it's shortcomings, X-Men: Next Dimension delivers an arsenal of classic characters from the X-Men franchise that I was happy to see included.
