There are a total of 15 X-Men you can unlock and play within the game, as well as level. The teams do fight as a cohesive unit, and really takes the whole genre of team-based combat to an exciting new level. The game also allows players to learn about and perhaps appreciate other, lesser-well-known members of the team. Nightcrawler can teleport around the room and pop in behind someone to deliver a well-timed blow, or – later on – he can grab someone and teleport into another room. Rogue can pick up Wolverine and use him as a thrown missile – the fastball special. Colossus, Psylocke, Storm, Beast and others all add personality, dynamic combat skills and visual entertainment to the mix.
