 For hardcore X-Men fans ONLY. Watch X-Men beat up your spare time. June 4, 2008
Pros:
There are X-Men in this game, Wolverine Iceman and Nightcrawler.
Iceman's levels are pretty good (hence the 2 stars).
The voices of the actors in the movie are used (which may have cost so much is explains the cons).
Cons:
Only 1 decent cutscene in the whole game, and all curscenes are drawn, like moving comic pages, like putting a comic in front of your face and impersonating an X-men character.
Wolverine's levels are poor, he has about 4 different moves ONLY, and he's the worst part of the entire game. Nightcrawlers levels are just frustrating, and should not be played if you are tired of life in any way.
There is no comparison between this game and class games like X-men Legends, they both begin with X, comparison abruptly ends.
You may be thinking "I love X-Men, I'm buying this anyway."
Buy & enjoy as much as possible, but you have been warned.
 Don't waste your time on this one February 25, 2007

You can actually buy a used copy of this game for really cheap right now if you know where to look, so I was tempted to check it out and I rented it (as a FREE rental). I spent no money on this game, but it is so bad that I regret that I actually wasted the 10 or 15 minutes that I spent putting the disc in my console and "playing" this drek for as long as I could stand. This game has gotten a lot of bad reviews, and it earned 'em. Another cheap movie-license game carried out as if nobody involved even cared about making a real game. I wouldn't own this game if it was free. Don't waste your time.

I really enjoy the X-Men series, and was looking forward to learning more back-story to the latest X3 movie. It was disappointing that this game seems to have been rushed.
First, you can only play 3 characters - Wolverine, Iceman and Nightcrawler. I really like the Wolverine character, but his game action is rather feeble. He just hacks, hacks, and then hacks some more. In comparison, Iceman and Nighcrawler are much more fun to play. I enjoy the Iceman's sliding along the pathways he creates, and I love the BAMPF as Nightcrawler teleports from place to place.
Still, all 3 are guys! Surely they could have come up with a female character or two for me to play as well? Storm would've been fun, or any of the myrid of other females in the storyline.
The sound in the game is great because in general they used the correct voice actors from the movies. So you get to hear Patrick Stewart and all the rest giving their lines. It really does help to immerse you in their world.
On the other hand, the graphics are surprisingly poor for an XBox 360 release. I understand that X-Men was a comic strip. I understand the "artistry" behind wanting to keep up that same world. However, the implementation here comes across as pure silliness. You start with a speech being given - and the character who is "speaking" just stares, motionless, at the screen the entire time. Later scenes are even worse. It's almost as if you're watching popsicle-stick theater, with little cardboard representations of the characters being waved around.
I appreciate the thought behind this game, what they were aiming for. I think if they'd spent more time developing it, they could have had a really great result. The Iceman sliding and the Nightcrawler BAMPFing was very cool. If they'd added in more characters, provided a more involving environment and given a bit more intricacy to the main gameplay, it could really have been great. As it is, there's not a lot to draw you in and keep you playing.
Recommended to rent.
 Another Comic Book Title semi-WASTED!!!!!!!! June 18, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Another comic book title semi-wasted. This game has alot going for it. Unfortunately it was very poorly executed. The game has the movies music, feel, and atomosphere down pat. But that is about it. It really lacks anything innovative in a action adventure brawler. I have to say that Wolverine is the worst character to play in this game. His hack & slash levels are so ordinary. Ice Man & NightCrawler seem to have the most entertaining rounds. Ice Man is always on his snow glide & Night Crawler can do his teleporting effect. Its such ashame we couldnt pick Storm, Colossus, Angel, Magneto, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Rogue, or Shadowcat. Another down side is that the game is not created for 2 players. I dont have an Xbox 360 but from what everyone tells me it has the most impressive graphics on the 360. I got a GameCube version & the graphics are fine but seems like it was made for the Nintendo 64 & Playstation 1 if anything. I got my game at Best Buy for 29.99 cause i was in no mood to shell out 39.99 for this game after all the bad press. All in all a decent game, but not on any level is it EXTRA-ORDINARY. Another thing is the animated cut scenes. There not so ANIMATED!!!!!! If you know what i mean? Its setup like your reading a comic book & the only characters that ever move in the cut scenes are the non X-men characters. All in all a decent action/adventure game & hopefully when the next X-men game comes out it will be so much better. A recent comic book video game that just came out that is really GOOD is Teen Titans & its only 19.99. Give Teen Titans and this one a try , X-men is not as bad as everyone says it is. But just wait till the price drops to 29.99 & under before making your purchase.
A truly dissapointing game overall June 3, 2006
