An action packed mutant mayhem that will have you teleporting, freezing and slicing your way through.
The game takes place after Xmen 2 and before Xmen 3. The X-men finds themself driven into the world where the world hates and fears them, they combine there forces to stop the evil Mastermold, from producing millions of sentinel, that haunts mutants.
You get to take control of Three X-men; Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Iceman.
Wolverines, stages are pretty much a hack and slash where you find yourself surrounded with non-stop baddies being thrown at your face all at once. Sometimes it feels like its never going to end. However, with wit, and much patience you find yourself growing in to Wolverines rage and it become a breeze.
Like all action games, this game has some RPG style of leveling up after you defeat a level, depending on the difficulty you set it. There are
Iceman, the cold hearted will find you creating and saving fires from Pyro. While this type of gameplay will take you out of the Hack and Slash, you will have Iceman creating Ice slides with speed and freezing up things and destroying robots in your way . You pretty much control iceman as a plane, its your choice if you like it inverted or not. It's pretty fun and challenging.
On the other hand, the real treat is controlling the german indigo eyed, NightCrawler. Like in the fighting games, Nightcrawler is one the fun characters you can play in a game. Impossible to be hit because there is no limit to your powers. Nighcrawler can Bamf, anywhere he wants as the bad guys find themself very confuse to where you are. Its pretty much fun to watch as you BAMF you way from behind and Bamf from another character to character. One of the most challenging moments is where you have to fight Multiple man, and his clones. Nightcrawler can be all in many different places. If you have watched Xmen 2 then you would know what I'm talking about. One mission, you will have to go from another robot to the next to shoot as they shoot each other.
More features..
As you play your characters, you will find that you will be able to command Storm to help you kill 5-6 enemies all at once. (Remind you of the Xmen game on Genesis?)
Overall, this game is fun and very challenging if you have time to traverse to the world of Xmen, as you get ready to watch Xmen 3 the last stand.
Graphically, this game has soft shadowing and more intact than the rest of the systems. However, if you dont have an Xbox 360 or you dont want to to spend 60.00 then you can stick to the current gen. The game comes with a 5.00 dollars concession food purchase when you watch Xmen 3.
