Mutant Academy 2

Yeah, it is mostly garbage. They're still very popular in all the places I've lived. I used to spend Saturday mornings driving to all the garage sales. It was a family thing.

Thanks for the tips! smile

I was wondering what you had to do for the other extras. Spiderman was the easiest to unlock, I think the game will gain even more popularity once SM fans figure out hes in it.

100 survival in a row huh? frown

Best I have managed so far is 32. I kept getting Beast, Sabertooth, and Wolverine thrown at me. And once had to go agaisn't the computer playing nightcrawler. Man I could barely keep up with all the bamfing. If you are on the recieving in of his attacks it is easy to get lost. smile

Just of keen curiousity, how much do a PS2 cost? And the game itself? (You make it sound so darn interesting.)

**BAMFCentral** · September 23rd, 2001, 08:58 PM

PS2 about 299

X MA 2 about 40

PS1 memory card 15 (PS2 memory card didn't work for me with this game; I do recommend this, after you unlock all the items and dont save it is a painstaking process to reunlock everthing. Or just wait for the MA2 hint book to come out {or search internet} and find the code that unlocks enerything, then no memory card is needed.)

It isn't exactly cheap, but the nice thing about the PS2 is that it will also work as a DVD player smile

. The thing to watch for is to make sure the plug that goes to your TV is the correct one, it is one of those 3 pronged ones, you may or may not need an adapter. Depending on what electronical equipment you already have.

Hey Darkholme, who else have you beaten the game with?

I beat it with Rogue, just barely, and Psylocke. But Juggernaut didn't unlock.

Have you figured out how to unlock Xavier yet? I was thinking maybe beating it with Beast or Mags, but I am not good enough with those characters to get far.

So far I've unlocked Spider-Man, Psylocke (beat it with Wolverine), and an additional costume for everyone. Only have to beat it with Rogue & Psylocke to unlock Juggernaut. And I haven't tried to win 100 Survival matches in a row to get the Pool Party mode yet.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Beast and Sabertooth I have the most trouble with. I tend to attack and retreat. If I get to close they clobber me. Retreating is easy with NC.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Combos and throws are the key to beating these two. And don't be afraid to use your counter (L1)...you may only have three per match, but if you knock them back you can start your combos again (My favorite being the teleport slash followed by a jump and axle rotation).

Too much fun...although yesterday I actually found myself looking at PS games...something I thought I would never do...accursed Activision.

Doh! What I meant above was that I only had Psylocke & Rogue left to beat the game with. You have to beat it with the 15 regular characters (don't have to win with Spidey) to unlock Juggernaut.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Have you figured out how to unlock Xavier yet? I was thinking maybe beating it with Beast or Mags, but I am not good enough with those characters to get far.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Once you beat the game with Juggernaut (pretty much can just use his throws to win), Xavier will be unlocked (highlight Magneto and hold down L1). Xavier doesn't have too many moves, being in a wheelchair and all, but he is too much fun to play with. Especially his throw. And his "Wheelchair Dervish" X-Special. Once you beat it with him, you get a little movie that shows the highest damage combos for everyone.

I still have to beat it with Spidey...hopefully that will unlock the Movie costumes. I know they're in there...they've shown up in the demos. I think it's only for the original 10 Mutant Academy people, but still. And I haven't had a block of time to commit to beating 100 rounds of survival mode, but I'm pretty sure I can do it with Nightcrawler.

Maybe tonight...

Found this tidbit at Activision forum. I'm chopping at the bit to try it. smile

... Press Select, Down, R2, L1, R1, L2 at the main title screen.

Unlocks all secrets. smile

Yep...it works. Or at least unlocks everything I've heard about so far (no movie costumes though...). Pool Party battlefield for VS. mode is just wrong...

Some of the changes...
Sabretooth has water wings.
Forge & Mystique wield Super Soakers.
Gambit is now brandishing a pool skimmer.
Magneto has a beach towel tied around his neck as a cape.

and as for Kurt...

He's wearing red sunglasses, wielding a spatula (for flipping burgers on the grill), and has a red Speedo. Yes, ladies, your favorite fuzzy elf is wearing a Speedo. I don't have any way to capture images from my TV, but I'm sure some pics of it will show up at some point.

- Darkholme
still going to try to unlock it the regular way at some point...
