Thursday, July 11, 2002 - After the big success of their game based on Spider Man: The Movie, Activision has unveiled further details for their new fighting game based on the world of the X-Men.

These are the annoucned game features:

• 20 playable X-Men, plus four secret characters.
  
• 8 big maps with up to 26 sections, in order to recreate "the kind of large-scale battles usually found in comics and movies", according to Activision.
