Quoted from pmWolf:I think what bothers me about this game is that there are a lot of people that won't give it a chance based purely on the negative comments they hear.
It's a great game, but has seemingly been put under a gigantic microscope by people hunting for flaws. I can't think of many other games under such intense scrutiny.

For me, as a late purchaser, I'm glad it was dogged. Xmen le is and remains a fantastically underpriced game. It has way more depth and strategy requirements than tron, but tron le is twice the cost. There is no way I would pay what tron le is fetching because it just isn't worth it to me. Tron and xmen are unique in the stern dichotomy as they predate the le/prem/pro sales structure. (avatar and rolling stones do also, but I haven't played either so I have excluded them from my discussion). Tron le, in my opinion, isn't all that much different feature/ play wise from tron pro. Xmen le, however, has several features which dramatically affect play, and said features were never repeated on an unlimited premium version. whereas tron le is now $8-10k more than a tron pro, xmen le is only about $1.5k-$2k more than xmen pro. In short, I say let the fickle pinsiders dog away on xmen all they want. I have certainly benefitted from the dogging and absolutely love xmen. If it had received the adulation poured upon tron, i wouldn't have an xmen in my gameroom right now. It is a great game with intricate rules and has dots rivalling or beating the best games of all time. I have yet to play any pin with dots that even come close to the quality, variety and intricacy of those on xmen.
My two cents...If stern had never put the word "deadpool" in the menu, The pissing and moaning would have ceased at rev 1.3.
