Hi Yohandy, Yeah. I always thought it was pretty fun playing DC Universe and Marvel Universe roll playing games, because you really could get into the story and pretend you are Superman, Batman, Flash, whatever and usually there was a pretty interesting storyline to go with the game play. The current XBox games like DC verses Mortal Kombat or Marval verses Capcom, although good, really lack the depth of story line the paper and pen roll play games had. Not to mention the idea of Superman pounding away on Mortal Kombat characters is just weird because I'd rather be beating up triditional DC enemies like Dark Seid, Mongul, Lex Luther, whatever.
Anyway, some of the game stories my friends came up with were pretty good. I remember this one time we were playing X-Men, and one of the adventures involved an invasion from a super race of aliens. Needless to say the aliens the game master came up with were some extremely tough baddies. To give you an idea how tough these aliens were the guy playing Storm had to hit this one giant alien five or six times with a lightning attack just to knock it down. I was playing Wolverine and I tried to gut this one alien, and found out they could heal very quickly. I rammed my claw into its gut, and he picks me up and hurls me across the room like a rag doll. When I tried to attack again the alien was already almost healed. Unfortunately, Wolverine is an up close and personal kind of character where other heroes like Iceman, Storm, Cyclops, Gambit, etc could standback and blast away at the aliens. So I was pretty much screwed in that fight. Lol! I'd really love to get back into those games because there were so many variables involved in playing. It usually came down to the luck of a dice roll as much as picking the right character to play. Obviously had I been playing a different X-Men character in the game I described above I might have had better luck in that adventure. That particular adventure depended on maneuverability as well as consentrated long distance fighting to defeat the aliens. Storm is obviously one of the more powerful heroes and obviously that character had more success where I failed. I often wondered if i had been playing a class 5 mutant like Phoenix how much success I would have had. Jean Gray, AKA Phoenix, probably would have been able to smear the floor with those aliens because when she unleashes her full psychic powers she is darn near unstoppable. I could imagine she might have ripped a few enemies limb from limb by her psychic powers alone. Cheers!
