Thus, the mutants have become quite popular, especially since they got portrayed by famous actors on the silver screens, such as Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman and Michael Fassbender. X-Men: The Official Movie Game allows you to personally take part in the events pictured in the movie and play with multiple characters throughout a wide variety of interesting missions.
Beside Wolverine, you can also confuse the enemies by playing with the illusive Nightcrawler, or freeze them to death with the use of Iceman's superpowers. Naturally, each time you switch characters, the gameplay changes as well, since they have different fighting styles and abilities.
You control three of the most popular X-Men - adamantium-clawed Wolverine, ice-spewing new boy Iceman and teleporting blue demon Nightcrawler, with each presenting differing gameplay experiences. Wolverine's levels are full-on melee combat, where you can employ a fury meter to unleash manic attacks against Al-controlled enemies, whereas Iceman's missions comprise of flying around on an ice trail and freezing foes with sub-zero blasts.
However, the most satisfying combat is with Nightcrawler, who can teleport directly behind baddies, before pummelling their stupid, surprised faces. You can also summon help from other X-Men such as Storm during certain levels, which is hugely satisfying as she strikes down numerous enemies - including the a-bit-crap enemy Multiple Man - with high-voltage lightning death from above.
A neat semi-RPG touch is the ability to enhance your character's abilities and stats after every level, although it's very basic stuff on offer. Yes, X-Men: The Official Game is a blatant console port, but there's enough throwaway gameplay here along with destructible environments, Havok physics, movie soundtrack and half-decent graphic novel-style cutscenes to warrant a look - if you're a Marvel fanboy after a game with a bit of X factor.
With a strong franchise to support, and picky fans to satisfy, it's no wonder the X-Men game has a few problems. Remarkably, however, is that this game raises above and beyond those problems and provides a varied and fun gameplay, something that stands out among today's flashy graphics driven games. Sometimes inept in its design, X-Men none the less delivered a unique design. Three separate games are combined into one, letting you jump from playing Iceman to Wolvering to Nightcrawler.
This lets you take a break from one game and jump straight into another when you get tired of the game you're currently playing. Wolverine's gameplay is a straight brawler, smashing through enemies. Nightcrawler gives you a bit of an acrobatic puzzler experience and teleporting combat, and Iceman's mode lets you play a flight sim.
Before each mission there are cut-scenes stylized as comics and characters are voiced by familiar voices. We will start for Logan, he needs to stop opponents and defeat Sabretooth at the top of the Statue of Liberty. Later, other protagonists also connect to the narrative. For each gameplay is different: for Night Serpent it is a stealth action game, Iceman will delight you with a high-speed shooter, and old Wolverine with a slasher.
The pumping is made in the form of genes that mutate, choose the ones you need, enhance combo attacks, distance for teleportation or regeneration to open up new ways to destroy enemies. Graphics by our time are no longer delightful, but the game keeps its face. A very stylish main menu, made in the form of Cerebro, and the official melody of the X-Men will definitely evoke pleasant emotions in you.
