X-Men: The Official Game
Game Description
In the realm of Activision’s multimedia symphony, the crescendo of X-Men: The Official Game resonates, entwining seamlessly with the narrative tapestry spun by the 2006 cinematic marvel, X-Men: The Last Stand (or X3: The Official Game). Situated betwixt the celluloid realms of X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand, the game immerses players into the intricate lives of Logan, Iceman, and Nightcrawler. Within this digital odyssey, the shadows of HYDRA loom, unraveling the enigma between the films and providing context to Nightcrawler’s mysterious absence.
On January 1, 2014, the game was de-listed and withdrawn from all digital marketplaces, along with most other Activision titles that exploited the Marvel license.

Mutant Machinations: Embarking on this mutant odyssey, players seize control of iconic X-Men personas, including Logan, Nightcrawler, and Iceman. A clandestine scheme to exterminate mutants unfolds, interspersed with occasional alliances with fellow X-Men. The Nintendo DS game introduces Magneto as a playable character, while the Game Boy Advance version heralds Colossus into the fold. Logan’s resilience as the sole healer in the GBA game introduces strategic dynamics, allowing players to cycle through characters at their whims.

Logan’s Gauntlet: Within Logan’s domain, players confront swarms of armed soldiers, grappling with retractable claws and a dwindling life gauge. A dance of healing and combat ensues, as Logan, devoid of target locking, relies on strategic blocking and the accumulation of a Fury Bar. The ebb and flow of battle transform Logan’s attacks, creating a visual symphony that mirrors the chaos within his turbulent existence.
Nightcrawler’s Shadows: Nightcrawler’s stages unfold as ethereal landscapes, blending platforming with teleportation. His ability to traverse visible realms brings forth a unique dynamic, coupled with the constant drain on his life gauge. A master of shadow, Nightcrawler’s “Shadowmeld” echoes homage to comic book lore, allowing him to vanish into the obscurity of invisibility, striking with precision against adversaries.
Iceman’s Frigid Flight: Navigating the icy expanse, Iceman’s stages mirror flight-sim intricacies akin to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. A perpetual ride on his signature ice slide, Iceman orchestrates a frozen ballet, unleashing ice beams, frost shields, and hailstorms. The delicate balance of speed on the slide becomes paramount, as Iceman weaves through the frigid tempest, healing himself during moments of respite.

With 31 primary missions and 105 side missions, the game’s open-world setting is inspired by Barcelona and features destructible objects, alleyways, and shortcuts via business buildings. There are few foot tasks that are completed in the third person, but most of the missions are driven. A variety of weapons, such as assault rifles, handguns, and role-playing games, are available to the player. Through an exclusive feature called “Airjack,” players can take control of an enemy or civilian car by locking onto it and leaping out of the one they’re driving.
The Pontiac G8, which has been shown in Wheelman trailers, is one of Milo Burik’s vehicles in the game. The Opel Astra is also said to be drivable, according to reports. The license plate in the demo reads MRTL KM8T, which is a reference to Midway’s popular fighting game Mortal Kombat.
