43. X-Men Mutant Academy 2 (PlayStation/Game Boy Color, 2000)

Mutant Academy 2 was an overlooked game in the genre, and we still can’t figure out why. It may have to do with the fact that the first one was so forgettable that not a lot of people bothered to check out the second, but if you did, you’re winning. <em>MA2</em> gave players a range of X-Men and villains to fight with, provided an interesting story mode, and had awesome level design. Oh, and just when you’re finished with the game, you discover you can play as Spider-Man. What’s not to love?
