    For those interested in a game with a good replay value and a comically self lampooning storyline, Hero X will suffice. At it's current market price of almost-free, you'll get more than your money's worth.

    A short game, entertaining while it lasts. 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 beA short game, entertaining while it lasts.

  1. In many ways this is a generic quality game - not embarrassing in any area, while at the same time not being outstanding either.
  2. The concept is great, the gameplay mechanics are basic (but present), and the overall style is there, just not implemented.
  3. 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.
