Item Description

Ever wonder why Nightcrawler vanished between X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand? X-Men: The Official Game was built to answer that question. Activision's 2006 tie-in, developed for the PlayStation 2 by Z-Axis, is set in the gap between the two films, and it was co-written by Last Stand screenwriter Zak Penn and legendary X-Men comics writer Chris Claremont. That pedigree gives it a story that feels like a genuine missing chapter, with Hugh Jackman, Alan Cumming, Shawn Ashmore and Patrick Stewart lending their voices.

Rather than one style of play, the game splits into three, one per hero. Wolverine's levels are brawlers, as Logan cuts through crowds of armed soldiers while his healing factor patches up minor wounds and a building Fury meter makes him faster, stronger and more savage. Nightcrawler's stages are acrobatic platforming, teleporting to any spot he can see and blinking behind enemies to chain together combos. Iceman's missions play like a flight shooter, as Bobby races along a self-made ice slide, firing ice beams and hailstorms and keeping his speed up so he doesn't fall.

The plot pulls in deep-cut villains the films never touched. HYDRA turns out to have helped William Stryker build his Sentinels, Lady Deathstrike drags Logan to Japan, where he faces the Silver Samurai, and the giant Sentinel Master Mold rises from Alkali Lake to threaten Hong Kong. Stryker's son Jason and Sabretooth both play their parts, and the finale sets the stage for Jean Grey's return in The Last Stand.

Reviewers found it uneven, but the three-hero structure gives it more variety than many movie games of its day, and the Claremont connection gives longtime readers something to smile about. Activision pulled its Marvel-licensed games from digital storefronts in 2014, so the disc is the way to play it now: a slice of mid-2000s X-Men history with the film cast behind the mic.

About the game

X-Men: The Official Game (also known as X3: The Official Game) is Activision's tie-in video game to the 2006 film X-Men: The Last Stand. The game covers the events of the films X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand, specifically following the characters of Wolverine, Iceman, and Nightcrawler. It also bridges the gap between the two films, explaining why Nightcrawler is not present for The Last Stand and also introduces new foes to the X-Men film canon, such as HYDRA, who FOX didn't own the film rights. The game was released on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, developed by Z-Axis; Nintendo GameCube, ported by Hypnos; Microsoft Windows, ported by Beenox; Game Boy Advance, developed by WayForward Technologies; and Nintendo DS, developed by Amaze Entertainment.
