How to play X-Men: Next Dimension on Mac
Game summary
X-Men: Next Dimension (originally 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 game 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, 3-D 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 plot of the story mode is loosely based on the comic story "Operation: Zero Tolerance".

Play X-Men: Next Dimension on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play X-Men: Next Dimension on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
