PC Gamer UKLots of swearing as you protect a world that hates and fears you. [Aug 2006, p.85]
-
PC FormatA solo Nightcrawler game could rock, but this team effort is cash-in gibberish. [July 2006, p.100]
-
Like many games of this style, there is some vague, half-guilty pleasure in the mechanical repetitiveness of the game's combat. But ultimately, X-Men is in the time-honored tradition of licensed games -- rushed, derivative, and well worth avoiding.
-
PC GamerI need Professor X to wipe the memory of this game from my brain. [Aug 2006, p.85]
-
As it is, X-Men: The Official Game is “officially” a horse’s turd of an experience that’s approximately as painful as Wolverine’s claws inadvertently sliding out while he’s wiping his arse.
-
Play MagazineX-Men: The Official Game is pretty awful. [July 2006, p.71]
-
The idea of giving the player three fairly unique characters to play as is good one, but the game design verges on plain stupid at times.
-
Edge MagazineHad The Official Game provided a consistent overall challenge, it would have been bearable, if unexciting. But it hasn’t, and it isn’t. [July 2006, p.88]
-
games(TM)When accurately describing videogames, we tend to use the word ‘dross’ rarely, but this particular X-Men title has forced the word from us in a spectacular fashion. [July 2006, p.130]
-
Almost everything about this movie cash-in is cheap and incompetent, from the short, forgettable levels to the poor control system to the hand-crampingly repetitive action.
-
Computer Games MagazineThere's virtually no effort made to adapt the controls to a PC, so make sure you've got a gamepad handy. Although the far better alternative is to just have a better game handy. [Oct. 2006, p.75]
