This game is decidedly average. I had more fun playing xmen 2 for the PSP (which rocked). Wolverine is not fun to play at all. Nightcrawler is cool. Iceman I liked also but too much work and concentration to fully enjoy. I also wish games would stop using lasers in every scenario, Been there, done that. Graphics are not at 360 level. Have played at least 1/2 a dozen games with better graphics.

Horrible...

Xmen the official game is a really fun game that lets you control 3 different xmen. You command Iceman, Wolverine, and Night Crawler. You hack and slash your way through HYDRA units and fight numerous bosses, unfortuanutely the hacking and slashing is quite repetetive and boring.

The fighting in this game (the only thing you do) is very shallow, there are only around 4 different combos and each isnt really spectacular. With Night Crawler you can kick, puch, teleport, teleport to kick or punch, and other really boring moves that make gameplay tedious. For Ice man all you do is fly around shooting either raptors down, or giant mechs. Overall gameplay is lame and really boring.

The graphics should have been cartoon because the way they are now, anything would have been better. The graphics are ugly and colors are plain. The cutscenes in the game are cheap and stupid because its like a non moving comic book cartoon. The bad graphics combined with horrific gameplay really holds this game down.

The game is kinda fun though. The only reason I played it was for the achievements, but otherwise there is no insentive to play because there really isnt a story mode, its really weak and the game isnt that fun after tapping the x button for half an hour to beat the level so you can get to the next level which is not in any way different besides surroundings.

Xmen the official game is a really half finished game that is repetetive and boring. I strongly recommend steering clear from this disaster, or renting. But do not buy it however low the price because youll be done with it in 3-4 days.

Good points: Fun, simple gameplay

Bad points: Difficulty, gets REAL repetetive, boring combos, only 3 characters, stupid cutscenes, graphics are horrific, extremely weak story mode, and the game is really slopped through.
