X-Men: Next Dimension (alternatively titled X-Men: Mutant Academy 3) is a fighting game, released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube video game consoles. It is the third installment in the X-Men: Mutant Academy[1] fighting game series, following X-Men: Mutant Academy and X-Men: Mutant Academy 2.
Next Dimension expands upon the concept of the first two games by adding several new characters, 3D maps, and a story mode, which allows the player to fight a series of battles in between short movies that move the plot along. The game’s plot serves as a sequel to the events of the comic story “Operation: Zero Tolerance“.
