It is the third game in the X-Men: Mutant Academy, it expands upon the concept of the first two games by adding several new characters, 3-D maps and the option to play the story mode which allows the player to fight a series of battles in between short movies that move the plot along. This game is loosely based on the events of "Operation: Zero Tolerance".

USA V2.20(20/02/2008), EE/VU Rounding: Chop/Zero, Seems to play fine, FPS sits around 59-60fps. Game Lagged a bit on start (it hung on the first screen for 5-6 seconds), but once that passed game played fine, Had a few Visual tearing in the game, but nothing bad or even noticeable if your not looking for it.
