Dave notes the voice acting in Arkham City is "all very professional", it sure is! That's because Kevin Conroy was involved and he's been the voice of Batman in cartoons and games since the 90's. Same with The Joker voiced by Mark Hamill and the legendary Tara Strong as Harley Quinn.
Ahhhh! You didn't like X-Men 2?! Give it another go Dave, try different characters at different levels. It can make all the difference. Psylocke can actually destroy the enemies in level 2 with one touch and so on.
Mutant Apocalypse is a Capcom game, that means Street Fighter style special moves (Like Hadouken for Cyclops Optic Blasts) It just required a bit of practice to master each character. Also the first set of levels count as the First Stage, once you clear that part you get a password and can move on to the rest of the game where you choose who to use each level and don't get a game over if one character falls.
I also have idea how it could be said that the game doesn't have health pick-ups. The Gambit level is even shown in the gameplay footage and it would be hard to miss the health in it.
Just a heads up regarding Mutant Apocalypse: -Yes, there's plenty of health around in the game. In fact, i'm not sure how Dave or Joe or whoever wrote the script for this didn't see it, as every level they played had health pickups in it. -the way that the first go around of stages work is that you have to play through the first 5 stages with each X-Men character. Once you beat all 5 stages, you get a password to continue. Think of those stages like intro stages to the rest of the game. -learning the move sets and limitations of the characters would help you with playing the game. There's a down and Y move with Wolvie that would've allowed you to grab the X icon by the sentinel spine thingy.
You have to give that Mutant Apocalypse is genuinely hard and you have to play it a bit to finish the stages. War of the Gem is a better version of this game, even if they made it a bit too easy.
Actually it was Beam Software who made the Punisher game for the NES, and Beam did most of the better LJN published efforts. But yeah the Punisher on the NES is not bad one, and the Genesis game is a decent comic book style side scrolling beat 'em up.
@@CommodoreFan64 Yeah, was just going to say LJN was just a publisher. AVGN seems to have given many people the incorrect idea that they were developers.
@@yesticles thankfully we have the LJN Defender to help correct this, but unfortunately he's currently taking a vacation from UA-cam to recharge his batteries to get back in the fight.
Same things I was thinking, I love Xmen mutant apocalypse, it was one of my favorite SNES games, dave just suck at the game and so he said the game is bad, jus because you suck at a game that doesn't make it bad
Can´t believe they can't even find a health item in this game how bad gamer is this dude, didn't try it seriously and i hate that because is my favorite X-men game of all time.
I didn't like Maximum Carnage and we'v covered Adventures of Batman & Robin multiple times. If I talked about it again people would bitch that we talked about it before and we're incapable of choosing different games. No matter what, people will bitch. I'll take the path of bitching that means a bit more variety in the show if I can. But in the far future when we get to Superhero Games 4 or 5 or whatever, they will probably be included.
Adventures of Batman and Robin on the Genesis is severely underrated, as is Maximum Carnage. But at least a lot of people have played Maximum Carnage. I don’t get the hate for it.
Joe, about Xmen mutant apocalypse for the snes. After you complete the mission of each character, the game continues and that's when the passwords starts to come. And you can find icons to fill your life bar! you didn't find any? Weird!
Unlocking and playing as Magneto is one of the best rewards for your patience with this game. It ended up being very satisfying for me. Edit: Also the co-op was great.
A key point of the game I using the correct mutant for the level. For example, Gambit and Nightcrawler are good at level 2, they can somehow attack up through platforms. Cyclops is best used tactically as a distance fighter. Beast excels at boss battles due to his strength. Psylocke and Magneto are too slow and are useless. And Wolverine is the slugger.
Mutant Apocalypse has passwords and health-up items. For passwords, you have to get passed that first batch of levels. For health-ups, you just have to get further than you did (or explore the levels more). Some of them aren't hard to find at all. I don't know how you could have missed the ones in Gambit's level. Try looking up a move list if you ever come back to that game. And you should. Cause you suck at it and need to get better.
@arbereshe You kinda missed the point there. The things he complained about not being in the game in his review are all things that are in fact in the game and fairly easy to find or get to.
Spider-Man PS4 is awesome! The web-slinging was something that captured controlling Mario in Mario 64. It had that same sense of freedom and control. Absolutely fantastic.
“Spider sting!” I’m playing Marcels Spider man as we speak. I pretty much like all the spider man games that are sandbox types, but my favorite was Web if shadows. I liked how you can choose to be an evil Spider-Man in that game. I choose the Black cat ending.
X Men Clone Wars on the Genesis is amazing. Yeah its balls hard but its worth the effort. Come on Dave you can do better. Don't suck so hard and try again.
In spiderman the point of not being able to move while healing is a deliberate design choice, to be a risk/reward mechanic like for example healing with an estus flask in dark souls, where you can heal but you take the risk of opening yourself up to a worse attack. If you could just heal with no risk at all it'd absolutely ruin the difficulty balancing
X-2 is a really good game. Thats a game were you have to use the right character for the level. For the first avalon stage use nightcrawler. Hes fast n quick n you can teleport which can save you alot of grief. The use cyclops for the ranged attack. In a couple of levels you will unlock another mutant. Wont say who though.
A shame you didn't liked X-Men 2, that one is a great game, just need some practice and know which character works better on every stage. Also the music isn't bad (or slightly crappy as mentioned by the subtitles), sure is not the best but it totally rocks. Give it another try, I did the first time I played it and it was one of the best decisions I made.
@@CecilMcW00t that game is sooo good. I like the totally different SNES version too, both great games, but the Genesis version is just spectacular for a 16bit game.
@@elbitxo5945 I like the SNES one more for its more true to the cartoon aesthetic but the Genesis one is a pretty amusing bit of out of control action.
The first X-men game on the MegaDrive is a great game and easy to complete once you figure it out. Especially if you use Nightcrawler to teleport through the levels.
you are legit my favorite channel on UA-cam, the quality, the humor, just everything is perfect here, thanks for having to go through so much shit to bring us this awesome show.
I just released my first vid, and it was painful how long it takes to edit videos. Sure I'll get better and faster, but I have a new respect for Joe and anyone else editing videos on youtube.
CRUSTY & DUSTY game reviews as a video editor myself I always feel like I should mention how polished game sack videos are and good luck with your future videos
X-men for the snes is a great game, I dont know what Dave is talking about. Also, Clone Wars is pretty good for the genesis, I even say that the first x-men for the genesis is kind of fun once you get to know the controls
Love your show guys keep it up My suggestions -captain america and the Avengers for NES /Genesis -Iron Man for GBA - Xmen for GBA -justice league The Flash for GBA -Superman for Genesis -Death and return of Superman snes / Genesis -Batman and Robin for SNES -incredible Hulk genesis /SNES /GBA -Maximum Carnage (SNES/ Genesis ) -x men legends 1&2 PSP /ps2 -Justice league PSP /ps2
X-Men 2 on Genesis is awesome. Yeah, it gets hard too quickly, but I still have a lot of fun in this game. Once you get past Magneto's base, you can unlock him he becomes a playable character. The next level is as far as I got though. I've only had the game for about a month.
X-men 2 for Mega Drive is a great game guys, you just have to select Nightcrawler to pass level 2 in a breeze. Just give the game another opportunity as it is probably the only 16bit era super hero decent game.
The Adventures of Batman & Robin on the Genesis is incredible. Difficult, but incredible. Batman on the NES is a classic. Darkwing Duck on the NES is lots of fun and has great music.
The Capcom Xmen game is probably better if you know that there are Street Fighter style special moves that you can do to use each of the Xmen's special powers.
Compliment sandwich time. Love your channel guys... You seem to be quitting games really quickly if you don't immediately understand the mechanics or controls and then giving said game a bad rating even though the problem is on your end. … Sweet beards yo. This episode deserves a follow up to achieve the high quality you have spoiled us with in past videos.
You can't start talking shit about Mutant Apocalypse on SNES if you don't even know how to play. It's an awesome game, it has great controls and each character has many special moves that you can pull of using classic Street Fighter inputs (Wolverine even has a Shoryuken-like move). The icons for refilling your health are red containers with a black 'x' on it and you can get extra lifes by finding 3 blue x icons throughout a single level. Don't go misleading people away from good games just because you couldn't figure out how to play
Oh and the password feature isn't broken. You just got to complete each character level (wich are fairly easy), after that you get you first password. After that ther are more levels and you can choose any of the characters to play them.
I mentioned this as well. Pretty shocked as I used to be a huge Game Sack fan but I took a break from watching their stuff and this is the first video I've watched in at least a year. Their quality when it comes to actually understanding the games they showcase seems to have gone downhill.
@@psychicsandwich7 my problem isn't that they didn't like the game. My problem is that they're saying there's no password system and that there's no health refills. As a reviewer myself, it's imperative that if I'm trying to educate someone on a game's mechanics, I should play enough of the game to understand how it works.
I know this prob isn't the first comment about Mutant Apocalypse..but um I've played that game my whole life and not only do the passwords work but there are literally health powerups in every stage and X icons to get lives and continues...sometimes I feel like you guys are so definitive about something that clearly isn't true, not the opinions you guys have you can hate or love whatever,but sometimes you say something with conviction that isn't true..i know you guys are busy as hell and can't research everything about everything but sometimes I'm like ugh!!! but that's just me being too scrutinizing..so I apologize, I love the show..have for years
In the PS4 Spiderman review: "you'll notice how the crowd start saying the same things over and over and over again". Just like in real life, buddy…. :-D
what a coincidence that this video was released 2 days prior to stan lee's death, kind a feels like a nice gaming tribute to the legendary one and only stan lee...you'll always be living through your superheroes and timeless stories, r.i.p. father of superheroes..
I'm gunna disagree with xmen mutant apocalypse. You got to remember these games were meant to be hard. You were meant to die several times before you got the hang of them. You weren't supposed to just breeze through it and go onto the next game on the backlog stack.
X-men for Genesis is one of my best hero games of the 16-bit era. That plot was awesome, the music too. Man, there are even five more support characters. David couldn't pass the first level. Hope you give it another chance.
THANK GOD you used that AWESOME Superman music from the sunsoft game again, I mistakenly thought it was a Hudsonsoft game and couldn't find it. Its AWESOME.
That game has some great music. The game isn't horrible either. I've talked about it on the show before so I didn't wanna include it here but maybe I'll include it in a future Superhero episode.
@@GameSack for months I kept typing Hudsonsoft Superman into UA-cam trying to find it! You've also turned my Sunday into a Hulk Ultimate Destruction nostalgia fest, so thanks for that as well!
This needs to have a part 2! good games - X-Men Legends (I just played 2 - Rise of the Apocalypse) - Marvel Ultimate Alliance (actually the successor of X-Men Legends) - The Darkness & The Darkness 2 just games - Iron Man (was so hyped for the demo) - Watchmen (based on the movie based on the comic...) - Superman 64 - X-Men Next Dimension
New episode of Game Sack! Time to turn off ad-block. Also gonna go ahead and click that like button before l even watch, for more than two reasons, but here's two good reasons, because I'm too lazy to type more words- 1. l love Game Sack. 2. Because you guys produce top quality work, while at the same time you don't pander for "likes", subscribers, and stupid popularity points. Thanks for not doing that. I really appreciate it.
Someday. I was waiting years for the Genesis episode, especially considering Joe's love for Sega and it finally happened. NES is one of the last major consoles they never devoted an episode to so only a matter of time. Wii and GBA are two others that come to mind. Those console episodes are some of the best as far as quality and sheer content are concerned so I'll happily be patient and hope that someday they will do them.
@@smoketreez666 What are you doing man? This is the internet. You need to demand game sack console episodes like it was your god given right. Isn't that how the internet is supposed to work???
Xmen mutant apocalypse is a awesome game, it was one of my favorite SNES games, and it a pretty easy game too, Dave just because you suck at a game, that doesn't mean the game is bad
Game Sack Genesis version is, yeah. SNES version is alright. X-Men 2: Clone Wars is just plain awesome. Hard as balls but awesome, same goes for mutant Apocalypse. The original Genesis X-Men was decent too. Spawn definitely wasn't the best, though I loved the shit out of that game, the AI was dumb and starting at that prison level the level design gets downright cheap.
Actually Joe, if you averaged the three scores it would be 6.67/6.67, not 7.5/7.5. Please edit and resubmit this video with the necessary corrections, thank you
I love that SNES X-Men game. X-Men 2 on the Genesis is a decent single player game, but co-op is pretty bad. There's slowdown the entire time and you have to get way too close to the edge of the screen before it will scroll, resulting in tons of cheap hits.
Thor for the DS is a pretty short but fun playthrough, with awesome boss battles (and it's dirty cheap). Batman the Brave and the Bold for the same system is just amazing from beggining to end, those are for sure two (MetalJesus voice here) "hidden geeems" by WayForward.
C'mon Joe, at 3:12 you kicked a thug off the building and then just let him hit the pavement, he might have a digital family. Not very super hero of you dude
Love your content fellas, but you didn't even do the bare minimum before playing X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse - which for any pre digital content game is: look at the manual. The first thing that comes up when you google for the manual is a pdf of the very short manual. It tells you the moves list and what too look for to get extra health and extra lives. Had you managed that - you would have made it far enough in the game to get a password (also touched on in the manual). I'm still a fan, but effort this low calls into question your judgement as respected reviewers. Do better.
A longtime superhero fan - before it was chic, actually - I really enjoyed this episode. Was glad to see a Rocksteady Batman title featured but I have to highly recommend Sunsoft's NES Batman. Too date, one of my favorite video games of all time. Sunsoft's Genesis Batman and Konami's SNES Batman Returns are great plays as well. Most of Konami's 8 and 16-bit Batman entries are worth playing, to be honest. Capcom's X-Men and Marvel 2-D fighters are awesome too - avoid the PS2 ports though. Joe, you may like Ultimate Spider-Man if you like cell-shading - I'm sure it's a step back from PS4 Spider-Man but the Venom levels have something of a Hulk Ultimate Destruction vibe to 'em. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the best Wolverine game I've played - the M-rated 360 and PS3 versions really let you cut loose. The X-Men Legends games are more-than-decent, Dave, and if you like them, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance spiritual sequels are worth a look.
Yeah what a weird thing to say, as if superheroes haven't been super popular since basically when superman first got published. It's like claiming star wars is a niche thing only geeks like.
Actually, before they started making super hero movies in the 90s, super heros were for comic book nerds almost exclusively. Personally I think super heroes are stupid. They are so cliché and just predictable.
@@herbiehusker1889 not really. The superman movies were enormously successful and the first one is genuinely one of the best films ever made and so people watch it to this day. You had the very popular incredible hulk TV show in the 70s, the even more popular batman TV show of the 60s and so on. Its just a weird gatekeeping thing some comic fans like to do, a hipster attitude, like "I liked superheros _before_ they were popular" when in reality comics sales show they were always very popular, and the movies and TV show adaptations from the 1950s onwards show that too
Yeah, comics were so obscure before the 90s, that's why they didn't make a Red Sonja film in 85 or a Howard The Duck movie in 86 or The Punisher in 89 😭👌
Just play the goddamn game Joe. Didn't expect Dave to be so hard on Mutant Apocalypse. It's brutally hard for sure, but it's a very well made game. A fun time to be had for sure. Batman seems to have the best track record of video games by far. The original Batman on NES is my favorite, but the Genesis version is also quite good. Then there's Batman Returns on the Game Gear/Master System, which is a fun platformer, the SNES and NES versions, which are fantastic beat em ups, and the Sega CD version, which has fun driving stages. The Adventures of Batman and Robin was good on the Sega Genesis, CD and SNES. Batman Return of the Joker was great on the NES, with the Genesis version being shockingly awful. Superman on the Genesis is alright, the music is some of the best of any game, but damn is it hard. Captain America and the Avengers is probably one of the best 16-bit superhero games out there. Injustice and Injustice 2 are very top-notch fighters with a large roster of DC heroes and villains. My Hero One's Justice is probably outside the scope of what you're used to, but it's a superhero game and it's quite fun.
I loved xmen 2 clone wars rented it from Blockbuster Vidfeo back in the day. I think you need to use the right xman for certain levels or else it is hard but my cousin and I playing in two player mode was fun especially when you got to play as Magneto
X-Men Mutant Apocalypse is my favorite X-Men console game. A Final Fight style beat-em-up, using Street Fighter 2 controls and a MegaMan-style stage select at the beginning of the game.
xmen 2 is not bad spawn is not bad xmen apocalypse is not bad gadly opinions are not a fact btw dave, hard games are not bad, just git gud and stop crying
Spawn is bad. And hard because of bad controls or bad level design is bad, too. The X-Men games are alright, but they've got that 90s hardcore difficulty. Pop on a Game Genie and get infinite lives.
I was annoyed they didn't use any of the special moves in Spawn. All the areas they thought were cheap was due to them not understanding the controls at all. I get that people expect to just know game controls without looking today, but read the damn manual next time if you're going to review games from the 90's!
At first I went "aw No Maximum Carnage or Separation Anxiety?", but then I remembered that it's mostly my nostalgia and they're actually not very good.
If you like violent God of War clones, then X-men Origins Wolverine is surprisingly good. Has a lot of screen tearing in the jungle stages, and a couple glitches here and there, but nothing massive, from my playthrough. It has a tremendous amount of gore for a game based on a bloodless PG-13 movie, but it gives the game a sadistic fun factor that made me want to keep going, despite the eventual repetitive nature of the gameplay. Hugh Jackman reprises his role, and thankfully, he doesn't half-ass his voice acting as other celebrities for other superhero games have. Another good violent superhero game is The Punisher for PS2/Xbox. It plays kinda like a Max Payne game. The DS game based on the first Thor movie is a surprisingly good 2D beat em up. Wayforward made it, and people who've played it say its far more satisfying that the console versions. While not a great game, the Teen Titans game for 6th gen systems is a decent 3D Gauntlet type game. Definitely best enjoyed co-op. I can imagine you two not caring for the character design style, but the show was a good part of my adolescence, and playing the game felt like playing a lost episode for me. The character animation is quite impressive, considering the squash and stretch style they gave it, but the texture style for the characters is pretty bad. If you enjoy the style of humor and eventually repetitive gameplay, the Deadpool game is a good hack and slash. If Joe likes classic Shinobi, he might like the Genesis version of the Batman movie licensed game. For other Spider-Man games, I personally think Ultimate Spider-Man is the best of the 6th gen Spidey games. It's a bit more refined than Spider-Man 2. Like Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction, it's based on the comics more so than a film adaptation. The 7th gen Spider-Man games are decent, but flawed. They have far more combat focus, and much less web-slinging exploration. Web of Shadows has an interesting morality system story that reminds me of Catherine in the way the ending can go (Black Cat as your lady while you rule with the Symbiote suit for the "bad" ending). Shattered Dimensions has a good premise and good stealth sections as Spider-Man Noir, but only the boss fights and Deadpool level are really memorable. Edge of Time is a direct sequel that trims the fat of its predecessor, but it really only has decent boss fights to make it stand out. If you do try these, get Web of Shadows and Edge of Time for the 360 and Shattered Dimensions for the PS3. Those versions have the best visuals. The Amazing Spider Man games are just okay. They brought back the city exploration, and that aspect is pretty good, but they got rid of the good boss fights in exchange. The mook combat has been redone to mimic the Batman Arkham style, which is certainly functional, but uninspired. Also, the Wii U version of the first game is the only way you can get the DLC for it anymore since Activision lost the license and pulled all digital matter for the games off the internet, and the Wii U version has all of it on disc. Shame that it has a disgusting amount of screen tearing.
I live in the same state as them.... nobody here says it the way he did, "vaygin" , I have never even heard that before .... i think it's to bug you lol
What are some of your favorite games based on superheroes?
I've always liked Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the PS3. The sequel blew dead bears though. :)
Batman Arkham Knight
Thor on the Nintendo DS is surprisingly good. Very decent beat 'em up with good presentation.
It's by Way Forward (the Shantae guys)

But how I can trust 10 out of 10 but it's also 5 out of 5 in the cover and is GamePro still around anymore ?
Mutant Apocalypse is a Capcom game, that means Street Fighter style special moves (Like Hadouken for Cyclops Optic Blasts) It just required a bit of practice to master each character.
Also the first set of levels count as the First Stage, once you clear that part you get a password and can move on to the rest of the game where you choose who to use each level and don't get a game over if one character falls.
I also have idea how it could be said that the game doesn't have health pick-ups. The Gambit level is even shown in the gameplay footage and it would be hard to miss the health in it.
And on top of all this you can cheese almost any fight with Beast, press down and attack in the air = infinite hop
Easiest way to beat Magneto
Just a heads up regarding Mutant Apocalypse:
-Yes, there's plenty of health around in the game. In fact, i'm not sure how Dave or Joe or whoever wrote the script for this didn't see it, as every level they played had health pickups in it.
-the way that the first go around of stages work is that you have to play through the first 5 stages with each X-Men character. Once you beat all 5 stages, you get a password to continue. Think of those stages like intro stages to the rest of the game.
-learning the move sets and limitations of the characters would help you with playing the game. There's a down and Y move with Wolvie that would've allowed you to grab the X icon by the sentinel spine thingy.
You have to give that Mutant Apocalypse is genuinely hard and you have to play it a bit to finish the stages. War of the Gem is a better version of this game, even if they made it a bit too easy.
Kinda shocked Joe didn't bust out any of the Marvel fighting games for the Saturn. There's so much MEGA POWER to be had there.
Crazy you didn't care for the 2 Genesis Xmen games, I found them both super enjoyable and Xmen 2 in particular looks gorgeous lol.
I love The Punisher. The PS2/Xbox game is awesome, and so is the arcade Capcom beat-em-up. Even the NES game is one of LJN's better efforts.

X-MEN 2 on Genesis is one of the best 16-bit superhero games!
You gave up on the 16 bit era too quickly. Maximum Carnage and Adventures of Batman and Robin should have been here.

Joe, about Xmen mutant apocalypse for the snes. After you complete the mission of each character, the game continues and that's when the passwords starts to come. And you can find icons to fill your life bar! you didn't find any? Weird!
Sucks you didn't like X-men 2 Clone Wars. Try it again next time. Definitely needs some patience but it's one of the better x-men games.
Unlocking and playing as Magneto is one of the best rewards for your patience with this game. It ended up being very satisfying for me.
Edit: Also the co-op was great.
Videogamelover58 it definitely seems that Dave is equating hard with bad.
vidlink don't forget the awesome music.
Clone Wars is probably the best Genesis game I've played. Awesome music. Awesome graphics and game play. Definitely underrated.
A key point of the game I using the correct mutant for the level. For example, Gambit and Nightcrawler are good at level 2, they can somehow attack up through platforms. Cyclops is best used tactically as a distance fighter. Beast excels at boss battles due to his strength. Psylocke and Magneto are too slow and are useless.
And Wolverine is the slugger.
No mention of Marvel vs. Capcom 2? Also the Marvel Super Heroes game on SNES seemed pretty good although I didn't play a whole lot of it.
It was a good game i reckon
It's more of a fighting game than a superhero game.
Mutant Apocalypse has passwords and health-up items. For passwords, you have to get passed that first batch of levels.
For health-ups, you just have to get further than you did (or explore the levels more). Some of them aren't hard to find at all. I don't know how you could have missed the ones in Gambit's level.
Try looking up a move list if you ever come back to that game. And you should. Cause you suck at it and need to get better.
@arbereshe You kinda missed the point there. The things he complained about not being in the game in his review are all things that are in fact in the game and fairly easy to find or get to.
Spider-Man PS4 is awesome! The web-slinging was something that captured controlling Mario in Mario 64. It had that same sense of freedom and control. Absolutely fantastic.
“Spider sting!” I’m playing Marcels Spider man as we speak. I pretty much like all the spider man games that are sandbox types, but my favorite was Web if shadows. I liked how you can choose to be an evil Spider-Man in that game. I choose the Black cat ending.
Does marcellus Spider-Man look like a bitch? Then why’d ya try to fuck him like a bitch!
How does Marcel’s Spider Man stack up against Marvel’s?
Good ol' Marcels and his Spider man.
I'm a big fan of Marcel comics
Radical Reggie you’re gramer is a hidden gem
X Men Clone Wars on the Genesis is amazing. Yeah its balls hard but its worth the effort. Come on Dave you can do better. Don't suck so hard and try again.
In spiderman the point of not being able to move while healing is a deliberate design choice, to be a risk/reward mechanic like for example healing with an estus flask in dark souls, where you can heal but you take the risk of opening yourself up to a worse attack. If you could just heal with no risk at all it'd absolutely ruin the difficulty balancing
Also you don't have to "hold" down on the d-pad. You can just hit down while in mid battle or at any time. No delay.
X-2 is a really good game. Thats a game were you have to use the right character for the level. For the first avalon stage use nightcrawler. Hes fast n quick n you can teleport which can save you alot of grief. The use cyclops for the ranged attack. In a couple of levels you will unlock another mutant. Wont say who though.
A shame you didn't liked X-Men 2, that one is a great game, just need some practice and know which character works better on every stage. Also the music isn't bad (or slightly crappy as mentioned by the subtitles), sure is not the best but it totally rocks. Give it another try, I did the first time I played it and it was one of the best decisions I made.
X-Men on Genesis can be fun with 2 players. Nightcrawler is key, as you can teleport both players.
Oh and the cheat/debug helps too!
Batman: The Video Game for the NES and Batman Returns for the SNES are fantastic.
@@CecilMcW00t that game is sooo good. I like the totally different SNES version too, both great games, but the Genesis version is just spectacular for a 16bit game.
@@elbitxo5945 I like the SNES one more for its more true to the cartoon aesthetic but the Genesis one is a pretty amusing bit of out of control action.
The first X-men game on the MegaDrive is a great game and easy to complete once you figure it out.
Especially if you use Nightcrawler to teleport through the levels.
you are legit my favorite channel on UA-cam, the quality, the humor, just everything is perfect here, thanks for having to go through so much shit to bring us this awesome show.
The humour?....LOL
@@Terrythetroll. yeah it's very dad humour but I find it very wholesome instead of funny everything else he said was true though
Phantom 2040 is one of my favorite games from my childhood. I remember the story being awesome also.
Joe's editing skills are one of the best on UA-cam
I just released my first vid, and it was painful how long it takes to edit videos. Sure I'll get better and faster, but I have a new respect for Joe and anyone else editing videos on youtube.
CRUSTY & DUSTY game reviews as a video editor myself I always feel like I should mention how polished game sack videos are and good luck with your future videos
Agree. Joe is one of, if not the best editor I've seen on UA-cam. It's almost hard to watch other channels because the quality here is so high.
X-men for the snes is a great game, I dont know what Dave is talking about. Also, Clone Wars is pretty good for the genesis, I even say that the first x-men for the genesis is kind of fun once you get to know the controls
Love your show guys keep it up
My suggestions
-captain america and the Avengers for NES /Genesis
-Iron Man for GBA
- Xmen for GBA
-justice league The Flash for GBA
-Superman for Genesis
-Death and return of Superman snes / Genesis
-Batman and Robin for SNES
-incredible Hulk genesis /SNES /GBA
-Maximum Carnage (SNES/ Genesis )
-x men legends 1&2 PSP /ps2
-Justice league PSP /ps2
X-Men 2 on Genesis is awesome. Yeah, it gets hard too quickly, but I still have a lot of fun in this game. Once you get past Magneto's base, you can unlock him he becomes a playable character. The next level is as far as I got though. I've only had the game for about a month.
X-men 2 for Mega Drive is a great game guys, you just have to select Nightcrawler to pass level 2 in a breeze. Just give the game another opportunity as it is probably the only 16bit era super hero decent game.
The Adventures of Batman & Robin on the Genesis is incredible. Difficult, but incredible.
Batman on the NES is a classic.
Darkwing Duck on the NES is lots of fun and has great music.
The Capcom Xmen game is probably better if you know that there are Street Fighter style special moves that you can do to use each of the Xmen's special powers.
Compliment sandwich time. Love your channel guys... You seem to be quitting games really quickly if you don't immediately understand the mechanics or controls and then giving said game a bad rating even though the problem is on your end. … Sweet beards yo. This episode deserves a follow up to achieve the high quality you have spoiled us with in past videos.
You can't start talking shit about Mutant Apocalypse on SNES if you don't even know how to play. It's an awesome game, it has great controls and each character has many special moves that you can pull of using classic Street Fighter inputs (Wolverine even has a Shoryuken-like move). The icons for refilling your health are red containers with a black 'x' on it and you can get extra lifes by finding 3 blue x icons throughout a single level. Don't go misleading people away from good games just because you couldn't figure out how to play
Oh and the password feature isn't broken. You just got to complete each character level (wich are fairly easy), after that you get you first password. After that ther are more levels and you can choose any of the characters to play them.
I mentioned this as well. Pretty shocked as I used to be a huge Game Sack fan but I took a break from watching their stuff and this is the first video I've watched in at least a year. Their quality when it comes to actually understanding the games they showcase seems to have gone downhill.
Yes, how dare they have an opinion different from yours.
@@psychicsandwich7 Failing to properly understand how to play a game has nothing to do with opinion.
@@psychicsandwich7 my problem isn't that they didn't like the game. My problem is that they're saying there's no password system and that there's no health refills. As a reviewer myself, it's imperative that if I'm trying to educate someone on a game's mechanics, I should play enough of the game to understand how it works.
I believe there is a prototype of "The Shadow" on SNES floating around, and apparently it's pretty good.
I know this prob isn't the first comment about Mutant Apocalypse..but um I've played that game my whole life and not only do the passwords work but there are literally health powerups in every stage and X icons to get lives and continues...sometimes I feel like you guys are so definitive about something that clearly isn't true, not the opinions you guys have you can hate or love whatever,but sometimes you say something with conviction that isn't true..i know you guys are busy as hell and can't research everything about everything but sometimes I'm like ugh!!! but that's just me being too scrutinizing..so I apologize, I love the show..have for years
The first X-Men game on Genesis was one of my favorites! The Lego Batman and Marvel superheroes games are pretty good too.
Imagine if I picked up a castlevania game on SNES and gave up on it because it was too hard. That's literally what you did to the xmen games.
In the PS4 Spiderman review: "you'll notice how the crowd start saying the same things over and over and over again". Just like in real life, buddy…. :-D
what a coincidence that this video was
released 2 days prior to stan lee's death, kind a feels like a nice gaming tribute to the legendary one and only stan lee...you'll always be living through your superheroes and timeless stories, r.i.p. father of superheroes..
Wtf those xmen games are great
I'm gunna disagree with xmen mutant apocalypse. You got to remember these games were meant to be hard. You were meant to die several times before you got the hang of them. You weren't supposed to just breeze through it and go onto the next game on the backlog stack.
Joe! Don't think you can just pan the audio in sync with a wipe and get away with it! I'm onto your dirty, dirty tricks...
I'm glad somebody noticed that. :)
One cannot simply watch one Game Sack video without watching at least 3 more. Dammit, Game Sack, you've got me hooked.
I really liked Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions. It was cool having the 4 different versions of Spider-Man with different play styles.
That was a good game.
Very under-rated.
One underrated thing about this channel is their humor. Love everything you guys have put it and I thank you for the years of entertainment 👍🏻
Game Sack is my super hero.
X-men for Genesis is one of my best hero games of the 16-bit era. That plot was awesome, the music too. Man, there are even five more support characters. David couldn't pass the first level. Hope you give it another chance.
X-Men 2: Clone Wars is a quality game. You just aren’t any good.
VaughnJogVlog
we can all agree that its WAY better then the 1st one
Its a pretty good game though
I liked the first X-men game. And i agree that they aren’t very good.
"Just like in the original Marvel comics, Hulk can purchase new moves at the Move Shop."
Sensible_Chuckle.gif
THANK GOD you used that AWESOME Superman music from the sunsoft game again, I mistakenly thought it was a Hudsonsoft game and couldn't find it. Its AWESOME.
That game has some great music. The game isn't horrible either. I've talked about it on the show before so I didn't wanna include it here but maybe I'll include it in a future Superhero episode.
@@GameSack for months I kept typing Hudsonsoft Superman into UA-cam trying to find it! You've also turned my Sunday into a Hulk Ultimate Destruction nostalgia fest, so thanks for that as well!
This needs to have a part 2!
good games
- X-Men Legends (I just played 2 - Rise of the Apocalypse)
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance (actually the successor of X-Men Legends)
- The Darkness & The Darkness 2
just games
- Iron Man (was so hyped for the demo)
- Watchmen (based on the movie based on the comic...)
- Superman 64
- X-Men Next Dimension
New episode of Game Sack! Time to turn off ad-block. Also gonna go ahead and click that like button before l even watch, for more than two reasons, but here's two good reasons, because I'm too lazy to type more words-
1. l love Game Sack.
2. Because you guys produce top quality work, while at the same time you don't pander for "likes", subscribers, and stupid popularity points. Thanks for not doing that. I really appreciate it.
Same I don't mind watching the ads for my buds over at GS.
I have to agree with everything you just said
You guys are great. It's amazing how time flies watching your videos.
Who else watches really fast and then immediately regret when it's over? My sack itches for more!
They make an ointment for that...
I might be wrong, but I think I remember being able to run in Spawn for the SNES
Dude, he didn't use a single one of Spawn's powers. WTF.
yes you can
Punisher on Genesis was pretty damn good.
I saw the notification and was like WILL IT BE THE LEGENDARY NES SYSTEM EPISODE? Nope... but any sack is good sack and good sack is game sack.
Someday. I was waiting years for the Genesis episode, especially considering Joe's love for Sega and it finally happened. NES is one of the last major consoles they never devoted an episode to so only a matter of time. Wii and GBA are two others that come to mind. Those console episodes are some of the best as far as quality and sheer content are concerned so I'll happily be patient and hope that someday they will do them.
@@smoketreez666 What are you doing man? This is the internet. You need to demand game sack console episodes like it was your god given right. Isn't that how the internet is supposed to work???
Xmen mutant apocalypse is a awesome game, it was one of my favorite SNES games, and it a pretty easy game too, Dave just because you suck at a game, that doesn't mean the game is bad
Okay Dave you guys are being WAY overly critical of the 16 bit games. You're confusing hard with bad.
Adamantium Rage is plain bad.
Game Sack Genesis version is, yeah. SNES version is alright. X-Men 2: Clone Wars is just plain awesome. Hard as balls but awesome, same goes for mutant Apocalypse. The original Genesis X-Men was decent too. Spawn definitely wasn't the best, though I loved the shit out of that game, the AI was dumb and starting at that prison level the level design gets downright cheap.
Actually Joe, if you averaged the three scores it would be 6.67/6.67, not 7.5/7.5. Please edit and resubmit this video with the necessary corrections, thank you
I love that SNES X-Men game. X-Men 2 on the Genesis is a decent single player game, but co-op is pretty bad. There's slowdown the entire time and you have to get way too close to the edge of the screen before it will scroll, resulting in tons of cheap hits.
The Irony that this was released a day before the passing of Stan Lee. Rest In Piece! Excelsior!!!
Ex-Mutants on Genesis is worth checking out
Love your guys' end bits, so damn good. Thanks again for another fantastic episode.
This video killed Stan Lee
Francesco De Paoli Stan Lee was killed by Sony so his last living cameo would be in Venom and boost Home Media sales
Thor for the DS is a pretty short but fun playthrough, with awesome boss battles (and it's dirty cheap). Batman the Brave and the Bold for the same system is just amazing from beggining to end, those are for sure two (MetalJesus voice here) "hidden geeems" by WayForward.
C'mon Joe, at 3:12 you kicked a thug off the building and then just let him hit the pavement, he might have a digital family. Not very super hero of you dude
Won't someone think of the digital children?
"But if you can go for the Super Nintendo version."
Joe are you feeling well?
You two definitely lack patience when it comes to games.
They both have over 2000 games. Its not patience but time they lack.
Crazy how you made this list and Stan Lee...passes away. RIP to the legend.
we all know Superman 64 is the best superhero-based game.
Spoiler alert: Lex Wins
Nah ah.. Aquaman is.
It should be standard that every time a new console is released, superman 64 should be a pack in game just because of how great it is.
10/10 would play again
The punisher on sega genesis is a awesome game aswell
Love your content fellas, but you didn't even do the bare minimum before playing X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse - which for any pre digital content game is: look at the manual. The first thing that comes up when you google for the manual is a pdf of the very short manual. It tells you the moves list and what too look for to get extra health and extra lives. Had you managed that - you would have made it far enough in the game to get a password (also touched on in the manual). I'm still a fan, but effort this low calls into question your judgement as respected reviewers. Do better.
I also like that the characters don't blink yellow or something like that.
=\ R.I.P. Stan Lee....
Xmen 2 is amazing! Give it a try. I really loved this game.
A longtime superhero fan - before it was chic, actually - I really enjoyed this episode. Was glad to see a Rocksteady Batman title featured but I have to highly recommend Sunsoft's NES Batman. Too date, one of my favorite video games of all time. Sunsoft's Genesis Batman and Konami's SNES Batman Returns are great plays as well. Most of Konami's 8 and 16-bit Batman entries are worth playing, to be honest. Capcom's X-Men and Marvel 2-D fighters are awesome too - avoid the PS2 ports though. Joe, you may like Ultimate Spider-Man if you like cell-shading - I'm sure it's a step back from PS4 Spider-Man but the Venom levels have something of a Hulk Ultimate Destruction vibe to 'em. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the best Wolverine game I've played - the M-rated 360 and PS3 versions really let you cut loose. The X-Men Legends games are more-than-decent, Dave, and if you like them, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance spiritual sequels are worth a look.
Yeah what a weird thing to say, as if superheroes haven't been super popular since basically when superman first got published. It's like claiming star wars is a niche thing only geeks like.
Actually, before they started making super hero movies in the 90s, super heros were for comic book nerds almost exclusively. Personally I think super heroes are stupid. They are so cliché and just predictable.
@@herbiehusker1889 not really. The superman movies were enormously successful and the first one is genuinely one of the best films ever made and so people watch it to this day. You had the very popular incredible hulk TV show in the 70s, the even more popular batman TV show of the 60s and so on. Its just a weird gatekeeping thing some comic fans like to do, a hipster attitude, like "I liked superheros _before_ they were popular" when in reality comics sales show they were always very popular, and the movies and TV show adaptations from the 1950s onwards show that too
Oh and don't forget the iconic wonder woman TV show of the 70s which is still referenced constantly
Yeah, comics were so obscure before the 90s, that's why they didn't make a Red Sonja film in 85 or a Howard The Duck movie in 86 or The Punisher in 89 😭👌
Every single time, you guys bring the goods. Thanks!
Just play the goddamn game Joe.
Didn't expect Dave to be so hard on Mutant Apocalypse. It's brutally hard for sure, but it's a very well made game. A fun time to be had for sure.
Batman seems to have the best track record of video games by far. The original Batman on NES is my favorite, but the Genesis version is also quite good. Then there's Batman Returns on the Game Gear/Master System, which is a fun platformer, the SNES and NES versions, which are fantastic beat em ups, and the Sega CD version, which has fun driving stages. The Adventures of Batman and Robin was good on the Sega Genesis, CD and SNES. Batman Return of the Joker was great on the NES, with the Genesis version being shockingly awful. Superman on the Genesis is alright, the music is some of the best of any game, but damn is it hard. Captain America and the Avengers is probably one of the best 16-bit superhero games out there. Injustice and Injustice 2 are very top-notch fighters with a large roster of DC heroes and villains.
My Hero One's Justice is probably outside the scope of what you're used to, but it's a superhero game and it's quite fun.
Agree, Batman games are often pretty damn good!
I loved xmen 2 clone wars rented it from Blockbuster Vidfeo back in the day. I think you need to use the right xman for certain levels or else it is hard but my cousin and I playing in two player mode was fun especially when you got to play as Magneto
8 minutes and you already pissed 2 ppl off, Sack.
That's why it's a great show
X-Men Mutant Apocalypse is my favorite X-Men console game. A Final Fight style beat-em-up, using Street Fighter 2 controls and a MegaMan-style stage select at the beginning of the game.
Dislike from me - X-men and Spawn on SNES are awesome. Someone here just doesn't how to play platform beat'em ups
Despite the fact that they've beaten several on Playing with Sacks, and reviewed dozens more on this very show.
You're not very bright
*Batman Returns is amazing*
Arkham Knight is a phenomenal sequel to Arkham City.
It's okay.
It was alright, just not as good as Asylum or City. They focused way too much on the batmobile.
Wow, to think Stan would unfortunately pass away 2 days after you released this.. thanks for still making videos, guys.
xmen 2 is not bad
spawn is not bad
xmen apocalypse is not bad
gadly opinions are not a fact
btw dave, hard games are not bad, just git gud and stop crying
Spawn is bad. And hard because of bad controls or bad level design is bad, too. The X-Men games are alright, but they've got that 90s hardcore difficulty. Pop on a Game Genie and get infinite lives.
Spawn does get Cheap AF starting from like level six (that prison level he kept bitching about).
@@nobel11 You don't need Game Genie for the first MegaDrive X-men game.
Just play it a few times for a feel of what to do.
Funnily enough Arthur, neither Joe nor Dave claimed their opinions were fact. Yet you seem to make your opinion as such.
I was annoyed they didn't use any of the special moves in Spawn. All the areas they thought were cheap was due to them not understanding the controls at all. I get that people expect to just know game controls without looking today, but read the damn manual next time if you're going to review games from the 90's!
inFamous Second Son is among the best superhero games I've ever played. No tights but plenty of powers!
That game is pretty good.
At first I went "aw No Maximum Carnage or Separation Anxiety?", but then I remembered that it's mostly my nostalgia and they're actually not very good.
Seriously. I can't beat them without cheating. They're actually pretty boring beat-em-ups.
If you like violent God of War clones, then X-men Origins Wolverine is surprisingly good. Has a lot of screen tearing in the jungle stages, and a couple glitches here and there, but nothing massive, from my playthrough. It has a tremendous amount of gore for a game based on a bloodless PG-13 movie, but it gives the game a sadistic fun factor that made me want to keep going, despite the eventual repetitive nature of the gameplay. Hugh Jackman reprises his role, and thankfully, he doesn't half-ass his voice acting as other celebrities for other superhero games have.
Another good violent superhero game is The Punisher for PS2/Xbox. It plays kinda like a Max Payne game.
The DS game based on the first Thor movie is a surprisingly good 2D beat em up. Wayforward made it, and people who've played it say its far more satisfying that the console versions.
While not a great game, the Teen Titans game for 6th gen systems is a decent 3D Gauntlet type game. Definitely best enjoyed co-op. I can imagine you two not caring for the character design style, but the show was a good part of my adolescence, and playing the game felt like playing a lost episode for me. The character animation is quite impressive, considering the squash and stretch style they gave it, but the texture style for the characters is pretty bad.
If you enjoy the style of humor and eventually repetitive gameplay, the Deadpool game is a good hack and slash.
If Joe likes classic Shinobi, he might like the Genesis version of the Batman movie licensed game.
For other Spider-Man games, I personally think Ultimate Spider-Man is the best of the 6th gen Spidey games. It's a bit more refined than Spider-Man 2. Like Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction, it's based on the comics more so than a film adaptation.
The 7th gen Spider-Man games are decent, but flawed. They have far more combat focus, and much less web-slinging exploration. Web of Shadows has an interesting morality system story that reminds me of Catherine in the way the ending can go (Black Cat as your lady while you rule with the Symbiote suit for the "bad" ending). Shattered Dimensions has a good premise and good stealth sections as Spider-Man Noir, but only the boss fights and Deadpool level are really memorable. Edge of Time is a direct sequel that trims the fat of its predecessor, but it really only has decent boss fights to make it stand out. If you do try these, get Web of Shadows and Edge of Time for the 360 and Shattered Dimensions for the PS3. Those versions have the best visuals.
The Amazing Spider Man games are just okay. They brought back the city exploration, and that aspect is pretty good, but they got rid of the good boss fights in exchange. The mook combat has been redone to mimic the Batman Arkham style, which is certainly functional, but uninspired. Also, the Wii U version of the first game is the only way you can get the DLC for it anymore since Activision lost the license and pulled all digital matter for the games off the internet, and the Wii U version has all of it on disc. Shame that it has a disgusting amount of screen tearing.
15:05 Must be a Midwesterner thing to pronounce "vegan" like that. Or you're doing it on purpose to bug people like me.
I live in the same state as them.... nobody here says it the way he did, "vaygin" , I have never even heard that before .... i think it's to bug you lol
