For a licensed title, the game lacks the usual gloss you’d expect, with cutscenes simply being animated static images, missing voice actors and a rather disjointed storyline.
While this might be disappointing to anyone wanting to relive the movie, it does have a few upsides namely the inclusion of Nightcrawler – who’s absent from the third movie – and a plot that won’t ruin the movie if you’re yet to see it. Rather than a blow by blow account of the movie, developer Z-Axis (the people behind the rather excellent Aggressive Inline) has created a game that sits between the second and third movies. With X-Men 3 hitting cinema screens this month it was inevitable that a game would be released to coincide with it the quality of the game is no more surprising. Games like King Kong may be carrying the torch for the genre, but unfortunately Ubisoft’s effort is the exception to the rule. No matter the pedigree of the company or the quality of the license, it’s impossible to approach a move licensed video game with anything but caution.
