Iceman at least served up some cool, if awkward, aerial combat but again there wasn’t much variety in the action.
You’d think one of the star characters would be the most fun, but I found Wolverine an oversimplified bore, with a limited number of slashes, punches and kicks to clobber one enemy after another. In the Xbox 360 version, I played one of three playable characters depending on the level: the blade-fisted brawler Wolverine, the ice-surfing Iceman and the blue-skinned, teleporting Nightcrawler.
Set between the second X-Men movie and the new “X-Men: The Last Stand,” the game takes our misunderstood mutant outcasts to some familiar locales from the films, beginning with the cavernous dam complex at Alkali Lake from “X2.” “X-Men: The Official Game” certainly sucks the “super” out of the successful comic series and even more profitable movie franchise. ‘X-Men: The Official Game’ is far from super – Orange County RegisterĪs powerful as they are in comic books and movies, superheroes seemed destined for eternal lameness in video games.
