About X-Men: The Game
Co-written by Zak Penn, the screenwriter of
movies X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand, and legendary comic book
writer Chris Claremont, X-Men: The Official Movie Game (working title) immerses
players in an original storyline that provides the back-story for the upcoming
X-Men: The Last Stand feature film. For the first time ever, the game enables
players to truly command the powers of popular characters from the X-Men movie
universe by allowing players to assume the roles of Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and
Iceman as they wield and upgrade their signature powers and maneuver through
unique environments designed to showcase their Super Hero abilities. Assisted by
other X-Men characters, players will use an advanced control scheme to master
and control the characters like never before as they unleash Wolverine’s combat
rage, experience Nightcrawler’s acrobatics and teleportation powers, and glide
through the air on Iceman’s ice slide.
