In the arcade, players choose two characters to form their team, and they can tag the other character in at any time to let their first character rest. While X-Men vs Street Fighter is a wonderful game, the PlayStation (1) port of the game lacks the critical gameplay feature that made it popular in the first place: Tag team ability. It may not be an arcade perfect translation like the Sega Saturn version (which only released overseas), but if you're an old school arcade gamer like myself, then you will have an absolute blast with this dope ass classic. If you can look past the aforementioned technical flaws, you will find a super cool character selection, awesome in game artwork, and Capcoms' signature 2D s tyle gameplay. The Capcom Versus series has been running strong now for 13+ years, and this is where it all started. Being a long time arcade/2D fighter fanatic myself, I find this game to be an awesome collectors item due to the fact that it is the first of its kind.
I wont deny these flaws, but in this conversions defense, the flaws are only due to the technical limitations of the Playstation, which has the only US console version of this game that there is. This is X-men vs Street fighter! To start this off, a lot of reviewers have mercilessly bashed the Playstation home conversion of this game for its lack of tag team play, and choppy animation. Aside from the main storyline, optional side quests are included, designed to allow players a more personalized experience with the game. At times, they will encounter scenarios that may tempt them to cross over from the side of Good, and join the forces of the evil Sauron. Visiting locations from all three movies, such as Khazad Dum, Helm's Deep, Osgiliath, and Minas Tirith, players will interact with both heroes and villains as they travel across Middle-earth. Also notable is the ability to ride a horse or a warg in combat, both of which demand special skills. Developed by EA's Redwood Shores studio, Lord of the Rings: The Third Age separates itself from its predecessors with its turn-based RPG format - it has been noted by designers that those who have played Final Fantasy should find the system familiar. Tolkien's beloved stories, players embark on a quest that will lead them through the events of all three films, in the roles of custom characters they create.
