X-Men Destiny
SCORE: 37
Video games have a certain shelf life.
Stores need to sell off older games to make room on the shelves for
newer games. X-Men Destiny was at a rock bottom price at a retail store.
I was not expecting much out of this hand held video game. I knew it
could become a review in the greatest video game e-magazine of all time
for families.
I did not take into account how horrible X-Men Destiny on the Nintendo
DS is. From top to bottom X-Men Destiny is a stinker. Some games have
some redeeming quality. X-Men Destiny hits all of the wrong buttons.
Only extreme radicals will enjoy X-Men Destiny on the Nintendo DS.
X-Men Destiny preaches all about false gods, evolution, look within
yourself for power, and killing off those who disagree with you. Your
character is someone who gets new mutant powers. There is a skill tree
with two choices for you. Do you want to be up close and personal like
Wolverine, or attack from a distance like Cyclops?
A variety of the female characters in X-Men Destiny like to go around
half dressed. Even when the weather and situation does not fit that kind
of attire. But then comic books have been guilty of treating women like
sexual objects for decades. They are obtuse in terms of improving their
damaged image. X-Men Destiny reflects that damaged image. It also
chooses to ignore modesty and taking the high road.
Killing thousands of the same looking guys in each area is the main game
play element in X-Men Destiny. To say this is boring would be an
understatement. The lame story line does not encourage gamers over the
age of ten to continue playing. According to the ESRB no one under the
age of ten should be allowed to play this hand held video game.
The graphics are bad. The music is meh. The story is horrible. The
offensive elements are high. X-Men Destiny is one of those game you need
to run far, far away from. I do not care if it five dollars or less.
