"X-Men: The Official Game" - Bridging the Gap

[HUMAN]

Okay, so I preordered this from Gamestop. The release is tomorrow. I'm excited as hell! I only hope I can see enough of the story mode before X3 next week and still have some replayability left in it.

 

[Horrorfan]

It's out here in the UK friday...let me know your thoughts when you get it.

I'm torn on what version to get....the 360 looks ALOT nicer, and has achievements, but I just don't know

I am looking forward to it though....

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Should that even be a question??? Go with the 360 version man, you cant miss, compared to the others. Im still not sure if ill pick this game up or not.

 

[Horrorfan]

Yeah but its ten bucks extra and theres FIVE games i got my eyes on in two weeks....davinci code, and next week, full spectrum warrior 2, hitman and urban chaos

 

[BizarroAids]

I just ordered the game off of Amazon, it should be here by Thursday. I"m kinda hoping it's not like Wolverines Revenge, that was HORRIBLE.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

On GameRankings, the 360 version got a 74%, PS2 and Xbox got 69%, and Gamecube and PC both got 93%. It's rare that a GC version is the best.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

you guys are suckers. buying a game based on amovie when you can have real x men game available to you like xmen legends and x men legends part 2. which has better game play.

 

[HUMAN]

No doubt X-Men Legends 1 and 2 were great, but we've already played those. I'm mostly interested in seeing and playing Nightcrawlers portion. Plus I'm a heavy X-Men movie fan, so this is a must for me.

Sorry I haven't gotten my initial opinions up. Look for something more indepth from me on Friday of this week. Work from 5 am to 1 pm then school/clinicals from 2p to 9:30p is killer.

 

[Benstamania]

Seeing how Batman Begins and Spider-Man 2 are the only good movie to games out there, I'll probably give this a rent....just to see what happens with Nightcrawler.

 

[0neDisturbedSOB]

It's a good game, definitely could've improved on the fighting techniques like adding a grab or a throw, and giving Wolverine a little bit more speed--but it's a good game nonetheless. I am disappointed in that we're only allowed to play as 3 characters rather than some of the new characters from the movie, and I'm disappointed we don't get a Juggernaut level....as much as I hate his look in the movie it still would've been fun to square off against him as Colossus (who has a TERRIBLE voice in the game).

The cut-scenes (or lack of) bother me as well. I get the whole "comic look" but I wanted to see some damn video!

So far I'd give it a 7.5/10

 

[Horrorfan]

Shame you can't play as Colossus


I hope to get it on friday when it finally comes out in the UK.

 

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Yeah, they definitely could've added in a little bit more versatility as far as characters go, but oh well.

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

On GameRankings, the 360 version got a 74%, PS2 and Xbox got 69%, and Gamecube and PC both got 93%. It's rare that a GC version is the best.

How can there be such a big quality gap? I always thought the GC was the weaker console?

 

[vampireslayer97]

I got mine a few days ago for the 360. I think I'm on level 7 and there's 28 levels. The game is allot of fun, but I wish you could have played the movie out instead.

 

[Smirnoff]

Wolverine is all you need.

 

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I'm definitely bummed they didn't include Beast, Angel or even Juggernaut, but I understand that this takes place BEFORE X3 so I guess it makes sense.

Still would've been cool though...

Right now I am in Japan as Wolverine about to square off against Silver Samurai.

 

[블라스]

Teamxbox gave it a 5

I still want to rent it to see what happens with Nightcrawler.

 

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Ouch a 5??

 

[Kritish]

The graphics looked really sub par.

 

[kytrigger]

Yeah, this game is completely average. Nightcrawler's levels are pretty fun, but Wolverine's are awful. And the "cutscenes" remind me of "Tom Goes To The Mayor". I don't really even want to finish this game, but my X-Men geekiness is compelling me too.

 

[블라스]

Then again, Gamezone gave it an 8.9...

I TRUST 'TEAMXBOX'.......THEY'RE USUALLY ON TARGET.

 

[블라스]

I know that

 

[Horrorfan]

I have heard a lot of good things as well as bad, so I'm still betting it's at least worth checking out....

NOT FOR $60, IT ISN'T. I MAY RENT THE 'PS2' VERSION.......WHICH IS ONLY $40.00 NEW!!!........BUT I'M SICK OF THESE HIGH-PRICED PORTS.
