The story in The Official Game is one of its high points and also one of the factors that will keep you playing through to the end of this rather short game, especially if you’re a fan of the films. Its story bridges X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand and introduces the Sentinels and Mastermold, the Silver Samurai, further expansion of the underused Lady Deathstrike character from X2, and the circumstances that lead fan favorite character Nightcrawler from being excluded (or saved depending on how you look at it) in the third film in the series, X-Men: The Last Stand. Up until the release of more recent “X” films like 2011’s First Class and last year’s the Wolverine, X-Men: The Official Game could be considered canon to the first X-Men trilogy. Both games featured elements of the movies (Mutant Academy had unlockable costumes from X-Men as well as promotion material Wolverine’s Revenge used Hugh Jackman’s likeness on the cover art and featured the voice of Patrick Stewart as Professor X) but neither were set in the time-line of the film series something Activision remedied in 2006 with X-Men: The Official Game from developer Z-Axis.

The X-Men films are no stranger to tie-in video games: A few days before the original X-Men’s release date of July 14th, 2000 gamers were able to pick up the underrated PSOne fighting game X-Men: Mutant Academy from publisher Activision, and several weeks before the first weekend of May release of X2: X-Men United, a solo Wolverine game titled X2: Wolverine’s Revenge was launched to store shelves.
