Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge vs X-Men 2: Clone Wars

Spider-Man and the X-Men team up in this side‑scrolling action platformer, battling through Arcade's twisted amusement park. Players start as Spider-Man, rescue kidnapped X‑Men, then choose from five heroes—Spider‑Man, Cyclops, Storm, Gambit, or Wolverine—each with unique abilities to navigate deadly traps. Navigate maze‑like levels, defeat themed bosses, and use each hero's special powers to overcome obstacles. The game offers distinct character routes, encouraging replayability as you master each hero's skill set and uncover all of Arcade's devious designs.
