I got this game after seeing the movie and it does not follow the story line. It is an O.K.game but lacks real fun. It has no multi player mode and all you do in the levels is run around killing people. You never have to think or solve puzzles. I would recomend some thing fun you can play with freinds ( madden, pac man etc. ) Don't get this unless you are bored & have a lot of spare cash or a die hard X-men fan.

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.

X-men: The Official Game is a typical movie-based game. It's fun in terms of immersing yourself into the storyline. In terms of gameplay, though, it doesn't offer a lot.

I'm not sure what's up with these franchise style games. Do they figure enough people will buy it because of the X-Men name and therefore they can skimp on developer costs? Why not produce a stellar game that ALSO has the X-Men name on it, and get high sales plus high ratings?

In any case, you get to play three characters here: Wolverine, Ice Man riding non-stop on his icy slide, and NightCrawler with his teleporting. You would think this would lead to a lot of incredibly cool puzzles and strategies as you figured out the challenges of the map. Unfortunately, no. You are primarily bash, bash, slash and bashing your way through enemies.

They do have training missions but they are pretty much unnecessary. Just keep hammering on buttons and you'll do fine.

This might have been fine if they drew you into a wonderful storyline which filled out the X-men universe. Unfortunately this isn't true either. The cut scenes involve static pictures of various characters with babbling voices in the background. It really leaves you feeling a "this is all there is??" frustration.

I'm a real fan of the X-men series, so I did enjoy learning some things about the X-men universe. But really, I didn't need to pay this much money in order to move my way through a stationary graphic novel. I could have watched a YouTube video of the cut scene clips and gotten as much enjoyment out of them. Probably more, because I wouldn't have had to bash my way through a series of enemies to get to them.

Still, I hate to give the game an awful rating. The characters are at least reasonably fun. You do learn some things about the X-men world. You do get to play some levels as interesting characters. So I'll give this a 3/5 - this is a game to rent, play through, then give back. Or buy it very cheap on the used market.

I bought this as a gift for my 11 year old grandson, he loves the game

The service was great. Game case, booklet, and disk were all in great condition. It was delivered very quickly! The game itself is really cool. The story parts are kinda weird, because its just stills. No actual action or movements, but not bad. I bought this for my husband. He really enjoys it and from what I've seen, it looks like a lot of fun! Very satisfied! :)

This game is extremely good, good tactics peel effect characters each person the power to recommend a very good game

I thought that X-MEN THE OFFICIAL GAME was a very fun game. My son loves playing it. I asked him some questions about the game and these were his answers:

1) Who was the best character?
I think it would be Nightcrawler. I love that you can teleport as much as you want. In the beginning of the game when you are first him, after you beet the enemies, you can just tele port around the whole building! He even made his own story by doing that!

2) Who was the worst character?
WOLVERINE. His powers are stupid no matter what and this game brought out how stupid he is even more.

3) Do you think that other people would like this game?
Yes! Although you can only be 3 characters, it is fun. You will love Nightcrawler's levels the most!!!

First off I want to say that many people think this game is the worst thing since Lego racing for N64. It's a really good game I recomend it to the die hard X-Men fans ,but a normal person no.It's too short the fighting styles are cool and the bosses are easy even the last boss. One problem though you have to earn mutations through harder difficulties and you only get at least one on easy mode sometimes you don't get nothing. Very good though otherwise has me hyped about the movie coming this Friday.
