Good, but definitely not perfect
I must say, I enjoyed this game. It was quite fun. However, the gameplay does get quite repetitive. You can't unlock new abilities, just make ones that you already have slightly better. Occasionally, I found myself bored with the game, but not for the majority of the time.
It was nice to finally be able to see Iceman in action, and riding along the paths of ice that he creates was quite fun. I think out of the 3 playable characters, his levels had the most variety. However, I got the biggest kick out of playing as Nightcrawler. His teleportation attacks were quite awesome.
Wolverine, on the other hand, was the least fun to play as, and he definitely had the least original style of gameplay. Unfortunately, you play as him for more time than the other two characters. Another problem was the cutscenes. Obviously, very little time was put into them. I know that the creators of this game were trying to give them a comic-book feel, but really, they were absolutely terrible. Another problem was the fact that only 3 characters were playable. Sure, you fight alongside other X-Men like Colossus and Storm, but it would have been nice if you could play as them.
Once again, the game was fun, but somewhat repetitive. If you're looking for some great Nightcrawler or Iceman action, you should try out this game. If you're wanting to play as Wolverine, you'll find lots of him here, but I would instead recommend that you play X2: Wolverine's Revenge, which was, from the Wolverine aspect of things, a ton funner. If you're looking for a more comic book-y look, try Ultimate Spider-Man, X-Men Legends, or X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, three games that were a ton funner even than this one. Lastly, if you're just looking to play as X-Men other than Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Iceman, I also recommend the X-Men Legends games, or even Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.Read full review
