Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The X-Men must defend the world against Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Starting out as Wolverine, you will be able to choose and switch between different X-Men characters throughout the game. There are 12 levels to progress through, plus hidden characters and secret areas waiting to be discovered.

Product Description

A band of cyborgs is terrorizing the planet. Believing that Magneto is controlling the cyborgs, the X-Men try to defeat him. You take control of Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Iceman, and Gambit as they prepare for the battle to save the planet. Play the Story mode where you will explore nine levels of intense action that will reveal the relationship between Magneto and the cyborgs. Each stage holds a wide variety of power-ups, which can be used to help continue the fight, like superhuman jumps, flips and speed-ups, and projectile attacks. In the Fight mode, the heroes face a never-ending stream of enemies and must keep fighting until they are exhausted. Is Magneto really behind all of the cyborgs, or is something more sinister at work? Find the truth in X-MEN: Mutant Wars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could have been better..., November 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: X-Men Mutant Wars (Game Cartridge)

I like this game a lot, but I really think it could have improved. The enemies are relatively easy to kill. The bosses are a bit harder, but the overall difficulty isn't too high. You probably won't find yourself going back to this title very often. I reccomend it mostly to big fans of the X-Men. The graphics are nice and powers are depicted well, but Activision should have upped the difficulty and maybe included some puzzle solving features. The game isn't totally lacking though, you can play as Wolverine, Storm, Gambit, Iceman, or Cyclops and work with either anytime. You do have to use their powers to get past some obstacles so you could say it does have a small ammount of puzzle solving. For a little bit of replay value, you can go through the game playing only the bosses. I like the way the developers made the levels a side scroller and then made the boss battles more of a Street Fighter like play. All in all, its a fair game and would be good for those younger X-Fans and X-Crazed people. Be sure to pick up the X-Men Movie DVD along with this game!

I concur with the other reviewers. This game is pretty fun and I like the characters. I've been using it on the GameBoy Advance and it is pretty nice.

This game is very fun to play. It has lots of levels and each character has there own special moves. It has a boss at the end of each level which is cool also. If you like X-men or action, get this game!
