X-Men: The Official Game (Xbox 360, 2006)

I encourage everyone who is curious to rent it.. Trust me, you will be glad you didn't waste your cash on buying it. This game is awful. One thing that stands out as just down right crap, is the cut scenes where you would normally have a cool exciting animated clip to watch. Instead, its a still frame shot of your character with awful voice acting and mouth doesn't even move. The game runs extreemly sluggish and awkward. It's replay value sucks. This is just a scam with a low budget trying to make profit from the hype of the films. Even the June release of Game Informer gave this a 4/10. Stick with X-Men Apocalypse II, and hope that Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (release date Winter of '06) will be better.

Let me begin by saying that X-Men: The Official Game is the reason movie licenses receive such a bad reputation when it comes to video games. Taking place before the second and third movie “allegedly,” this game lacks the quality of the last couple of Marvel title releases. A big downside to the game that appears immediately to the gamer as they start this train wreck of a game is the opening sequences and cut scenes. Created to appear as a “talking” comic, the game misses the mark at creating the ambiance it was attempting to achieve, yet instead comes across as a weak design to remove CGI cut scenes, save money, and release the game along with the movie (and for the money). At first, the concept was unique, until I remember they used it on the original X-Men game on Sega Genesis.

The controls for the game are really weak, and the responsiveness and accuracy is off base. Accomplishing your attack sequences can come across as a crap shoot at times. What can be frustrating is controlling Iceman. When surfing around, you cannot help to notice the lack of control you have with this character, even with the balance mutation filled completely. Along with the controls, the camera angle fails to let you discover the areas appropriately, especially when searching for the in-game extra sentinel pieces.

The two saving graces for this game are playing as Nightcrawler and this is a good game to build up your gamer score. As Nightcrawler, you can teleport around the boards, fighting foes, using this disappearing act to your advantage. It was nice to see the 360 keep up with how fast I kept the blue man going. As for the gamerscore, with some persistence, you can get an easy 1,000 points with this game.

Overall, pick this game up as a rental for a week. If you play the game on novice, you can beat the game in 2-4 days, but if you are striving for achievements, may take you a bit longer. If you are an extreme X-Men fan and a button smashing game lover, then here you go – otherwise this game is just another missed movie licensed game.

Well i bought the game on ebay the other day.. started playing it and its actually not that bad.. im only about 2 hours into it.. but playing with nightcrawler is awsome! :) the graphics are decent but im sure xbox 360 could have done a little better on them.. other than that the gameplay on it is pretty sweet and im excited to have summer break so i can start to play the game a little more.

My advice: wait tell the game gets a lil bit cheaper before forking over more than 40 dollars for it

I bought this game because I wanted to see the graphics and get a feel for the idea behind the new movie. (I love the XBOX 360!)
I love the fact that you are not confined to playing one character. You control Wolverine, Ice Man, and Nightcrawler.
The hard part is learning all three separate sets of controls for these characters. I enjoy a challenge and this game provides that in plenty.
The only thing that I do not care for is that when it goes into "movie" sequences it is comic book form and not actual clips from X3. This makes those sequences a little choppy but it does not deteriorate the gameplay experience.

With three different characters to choose from, X-men can feel like 3 different games all rolled into one. But those games can be hit or miss. First is Wolverine. He is a very repetitive character and can tend to make the game drag on. Nightcrawler is almost the same if it were not for his special ability. Teleporting is a lot of fun and can make for great fighting too but fist to fist is boring. Ice man is the best of the three because he surfs the sky on a sheet of ice. The story is a prequel to the movie but that is no excuse for only allowing three character when we really want them all. Graphics are not a big improvement on the 360 at all but there is a slight increase in texture detail. Maybe that's just my HD though. Controls are solid except for maybe Nightcrawler's combos but practice makes perfect. No multiplayer is bad news and the single player can be completed in only a few hours. Still can be a fun game though. But even fans should Rent before you Buy. 3.5/5

This game could have been alot better. It lacks in all areas.

Graphics are mediocre. In game movies are'nt that great. They try to give it a comic book feel by using still images that occasionally move. The voice acting is terrible and lack enthusiasm.

Gameplay: The game gets difficult at times and is very repetitive right from the beginning. You'll find yourself using the same move over and over. The characters are fun to play with especially nightcrawler and iceman. They could have added some more moves to either one of them to make it more interesting. They had some great ideas going but couldnt quite get it right. This is what greed gets you.

you can get this game at a great price on ebay and you will have much fun with it. you can not pass the chance to own this game if you are a true gamer. trust me.

I loved this game. As wolverine you get to slug it out in close combat balencing your healing factor against your speed at carving through enemies. As Iceman you race trough tunnels and around buildings and giant sentinals. As Nightcrawler you flip and teleport trough combat keeping your enemies off balence.

This game is great for the die hard X-men movies fan. Graphics and story line are amazing. Nightcrawler and Iceman levels are by far the best. Wolverine's are bit far fetched from the movie. Overall, great game! Good Play!

I like that you play the game as 3 different players and not just one. I have not been able to play much, but so far I like the game.

This is by far the most fun i have ever had playing an X-Men game. The 360 is an excellent platform to introduce this game on, the graphics are smooth and the game-play is fast and exciting. As the game progresses the villains get harder to beat and the game overall gets more challenging. I would recommend this to any X-Men fans or to anyone who likes a fast and exciting challenge.

The game is not good at all, I thought it was the new wolverine game that just came out. However, the game is in good condition and was sent quite fast. I just wish I would have paid a little more attention to the game title. My bad!

There are a few "wow" things in this game but it is a button masher. It it worth $15...only if the seller has free shipping.

This game skips! My son loved the game I gave him for Christmas until it kept skipping. Sad day for both of us. :(

I bought this game as a Christmas gift and I am sure my son will love it. I was very pleased with product and fast shipping!!!!!! It was just as described.

I like how it plays I think that it was made the right way. I bought it for my son, he is three so I know he will like this game.

i decided to buy it, cuz it looked like a good game. I beat the story line very quickly though. the characters were good, i enjoyed it very much

Hi, Shipping was very fast, but the game has never worked. I didnt contact you I thought it would be such a pain, but no ebay is telling me to rate everything I bought.
Hope all is good for you.

I didn't receive the item yet. The seller never response to me. Then i decided to call him, he said i should get it soon but its been a couple of months already. i dont have it yet

Booo this game was totally weak, i should have rented it first and read some reviews. This game stunk as far as story line amination? The story was comic book pages with the actors voices no movement what the hell was that? Kids, and when i type kids i mean children that arent old enough to pay attention to the gameplay would like this title. Shame on you game makers for making a crappy game out of an excellent all time favorite comic book series FOR SHAMEEE!!

Very speedy shipping! Was very informative in item discription. Was very upfront and kept in touch untill item was shipped.
