X-Men was definitely made by Konami at the top of their game. Its phenomenal sprites capture the style of the animated show flawlessly and the funk-tastic music sets the tone for pure fun. It's combat is super simple although it does have ground attacks which liven things up quite a bit. It's not that hard, though.
