I'm not suggesting it's the best stern. All I'm saying is that when you look at the machine as a whole, the art package, sound, gameplay with the new code, it's a great game.
When you compare this to WPT, it just doesn't have nearly as much to offer.
IMO WPT is a better game then Xmen.
The risk vs reward, and strategic choices far outweigh any type of strategy that exists in XMen.
The only Strategic choice that exists in XMen is how my hero's do I bring in before I start Magneto MB. The rest of the game is basically exactly the same, shoot x shot x number of times to start mode. Then shot x shot x number of time again to finish mode (with small variations here are there)
XMen is linear are boring, and the LE features are some of the worst, not as bad as TF, but barely a step above.
The only thing holding back WPT is Theme, if WPT was themed XMen and the rules were kept exactly the same, it would be on par with TSPP, LOTR, and ACDC.
The theme is the worst part, you have to like poker to like the theme
