* VanillaProtagonist: Grant is a very basic protagonist with very little character development since throughout the game he mainly seems obsessed with becoming a hero regardless of which side he joins, while in contrast Aimi and Adrian go through more changes due to their different backgrounds, with Aimi being the daughter of Sunfire, and Adrian being a purifier who now has to come to terms with the fact that he's one of the mutants he hates so much, whereas Grant is literally [[TheGenericGuy just some random guy]] who happens to be a mutant.

* AntiClimaxBoss: FinalBoss Bastion, who is both a disappointing retread of the Cameron Hodge/Prime Enforcer enemy type and a substantially less difficult fight than the Sentinel you face right before him.

** Aimi is implied to be Sunfire's daughter. When {{Creator/Disney}} decided to [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 adapt another team Sunfire was a part of]], Aimi's voice actress Creator/JamieChung was cast as one of his teammates.
** In addition to reprising his ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'' role as Cyclops, Creator/NolanNorth also voiced Adrian's father. Adrian's voice actor, Creator/ScottPorter, would voice Cyclops himself in the ''Anime/MarvelAnimeWolverine'' and ''Anime/MarvelAnimeXMen'' anime, and ''VideoGame/MarvelHeroes''.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Adrian Luca is the most popular of the three protagonists due to having a unique backstory and for having a more emotional journey in the game due to his Purifier past and complicated relationship with his dead father.

** If you're going to fight alongside established X-Men as a newcomer, why didn't they just allow you to create your own unique character? The multiple backgrounds for the new characters would have been nice origin stories. Not helped by the fact when the game was first announced some fans thought this was the route the game would go.

This was originally the intent, but it was cut due to the studio’s disinterest and continual decrease in staff working on the project.

* ItsEasySoItSucks: One of the two main charges leveled at this game, with the other right below. How valid they are will vary from person to person, with casual gamers generally more forgiving and hardcore gamers more inclined to just say ItSucks.

* CatharsisFactor: Activating the Critical Mass ability and basically going [[Characters/XMenRoguesGalleryAToL Exodus]] on hordes of mooks can be very satisfying indeed, especially when the move is fully upgraded and you can even float in front of the bosses completely invulnerable to their attacks and watch as their health slowly whittles down.

* PortingDisaster: In addition to the expected downgrade in graphics and presentation, the Wii version of the game is missing several bits of content, including pretty much '''the entirety of the second act''', leaving behind several gaping holes in the plot.
