X Men The Official Game

X Men The Official Game Overview:

X-Men The Official Game is officially a lame action game cash in on the upcoming movie. The lousy movie licensed game genre claims another victim in X-Men The Official Game. Based loosely in between the stories of the second and third films, X-Men is a completely unremarkable beat’em up (with a few boilerplate shooter elements tossed into the mix) that feels just haphazard enough to likely have been rushed through development to get it onto store shelves ahead of the film. It’s not that it’s entirely broken, mind you, but X-Men’s missions are entirely generic and devoid of captivating content, and there are enough annoying little glitches and other obnoxious things prevalent throughout to give the game that thrown together feel.

The X-Men are back! Well a select few of them, anyway.

X-Men seems to follow the basic plot concepts of the X-Men movies, but it centers its focus around three of the heroes: Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Iceman. Whether this was a deliberate choice, or a direct response to which of the film’s actors Activision could actually get to reprise their roles for the game (Hugh Jackman, Alan Cumming, and Shawn Ashmore are indeed in the game), we’ll likely never know, but Nightcrawler’s inclusion is specifcally to explain why he’s not in the new movie. For what it’s worth, Jackman, Cumming, and Ashmore all do serviceable jobs voicing the characters, as does Patrick Stewart, who returns to voice act Professor X. Unfortunately, the remaining cast is mostly made up of soundalikes, and none of them are particularly good.

By centering on these three characters and setting up the mission structure as the game does, you’re left with a fairly disjointed sense of where the story is going. For instance, early on in the game, all three characters go through quick training sequences to get you familiar with how they work. The next mission is a return to Alkali Lake (the site of Jean Grey’s tragic demise at the end of the second film) to recapture parts of the Cerebro machine taken by General Stryker. You start off as Nightcrawler, and are given the option later on to play either as Wolverine or Nightcrawler for another section. Once you’ve made your pick, you’re stuck with that character for the duration of his missions during this chapter (which can go up to around three or four in a row, at times). Only after you’ve completed it can you switch over to the other available character. Not to mention that Iceman just disappears during this whole section and we don’t join up with him until significantly later, in a completely new scenario that’s given next to no plot exposition. It’s not that a game of this type has to be some kind of brilliant work of fiction to succeed, but X-Men tells its story in such a perplexing and disconcerting way that it’s difficult to care much about what’s going on.
