    Not the best superhero game every created, Hero X still has its own charm. The action is well done, and the game has bright, lush graphics and a large gaming world. Stability problems are its bane.

    In many ways this is a generic quality game - not embarrassing in any area, while at the same time not being outstanding either.

    The concept is great, the gameplay mechanics are basic (but present), and the overall style is there, just not implemented.

    The game misfires at almost every turn, featuring repetitive and overly simple gameplay, as well as dated graphics and an almost complete lack of sound effects.

No real depth, despite the fact that you get to choose hero powers as you advance through the story. The story is just OK, and there are very few villains. As a matter of fact, you end up facing the same villains twice! It feels artificial and seems like they developers were just trying extend the play time. Otherwise, it would probably be finished in 3 hours! Fun for what it is but don't expect much.… Full Review »
