X-Men: The Official Movie Game Review
ReviewPosted 31/05/2006 - 3:29am GMT+1
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. Games like King Kong may be carrying the torch for the genre, but unfortunately Ubisoft's effort is the exception to the rule. 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.
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. 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. 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.
The game sees you taking on the role of Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Iceman. Each character gets his own selection of levels and is often helped by other X-Men who can be called upon to give a hand. Wolverine is the most basic character to control, with a number of slash attacks and a set of special powerful attacks that inflict more damage on enemies. Ice man uses his ice powers to soar through the air, and he can also throw ice at enemies and put out fires. Nightcrawler is the most interesting character, as he can teleport from place to place, but his hand-to-hand combat feels a little sluggish in comparison to Wolverine's.
No matter how unspectacular the combat, the game would have been plenty good enough for fans to get some enjoyment from, but some stupid design decisions have made a game that is an absolute chore to play. The biggest problems come when you're playing as Wolverine. Without any ranged attack or the ability to teleport to enemies, he's incredibly vulnerable to gun fire. So, in order to make the game as frustrating as possible, these are the enemies that you seem to encounter more than any other. His health system doesn't help much either. A recharge system for small amounts of damage is a nice enough idea, but if your health drops too much you need to stand still and wait for it to replenish. This is next to impossible during the many five-minute plus fights against endless hordes of enemies, and a few health pick-ups certainly wouldn't have gone amiss.
On current-gen systems the game isn't stunning, but it's hardly a travesty, which is more than can be said for the Xbox 360 version. Had it been released for the same price as the other versions it would have been the version to recommend, as it looks considerably smarter running in High Definition and features a smoother frame rate, but at £50 it's almost disgraceful. It's possibly the least impressive Xbox 360 title released to date, and asking extra for it is a joke. The aforementioned cutscenes disappoint throughout the game, and while the voice acting of the main characters is solid, many of the other characters simply feature sound-alikes, and not the actors from the movies.
There really is very little to like in X-Men: The Official Game. The idea of giving the player three fairly unique characters to play as is good one, but the game design verges on plain stupid at times. There's no real variety to the tasks you need to carry out as the three characters, and the story is told so poorly that it'll make little sense even if you've seen the movies that surround it. With movie licensed video game reviews there's usually a little caveat which states that you must be a big fan of the movie before thinking about buying the game. In X-Men: The Official Game's case, I can't think of any reason at all for giving it a look.

Skoda Yeti
German car maker Skoda has stepped into the SUV market in India with its recent launch Yeti. Yeti will be Skoda’s first SUV in India.
Priced at 12-15 Lakhs in India Yeti comes with a power packed engine. Though its look is not so impressive, the power of the vehicle will make it special to the Indians. In Europe Skoda Yeti has been awarded a 5 star rating for Safety by the Euro NCAP. The additional features of Yeti are Electronic Stability Programme, Anti Locking Braking system, Hydraulic Brake assist, Anti-slip regulation and an Electronic Differential Lock.
Skoda Yeti is a four wheel drive and it comes with a 2.0 litre diesel engine TDI. It’s powered by a 108bhp, 138bhp and 168bhp, plus a 158bhp 1.8 TSI petrol unit. A two wheel drive is also available in Diesel engine variant. With its power and performance Skoda Yeti will surely be a tough competitor for other SUV’s.
Hollywood Star's Cars
Julia Roberts' Prius
Julia Roberts has to have several cars to cart her new twins around, but her fave is the environmentally-kind Toyota Prius, a hybrid vehicle that sips fuel so sparingly it gets 55 miles per gallon. Yes, the real whistleblower for the environment, Erin Brockovich, whom Julia played in the movie of that name, also drives a Prius.
Denise Richards' S55
Denise Richards married Charlie Sheen and they're expecting their second child in June, so the catwalk model-turned-sex symbol needs a child-safe car. She's opted for an S55 Mercedes, a $100,000 vehicle capable of 145 miles an hour but we're sure she won't be driving it at that speed!
Britney Spears' Mercedes
Britney Spears had a Mercedes convertible, changed it for a Jaguar and is back in the Mercedes fold again, with a sleek, $150,000 SL 500. She has an interest in fast cars and once sang the national anthem at Daytona before telling the racers: "Gentlemen, start your engines!"
Charlize Theron's Land Rover
Charlize Theron starred in "The Italian Job" as a Mini Cooper-driving hot shot, but in real life the South African stunner drives something better suited to safaris -- a Range Rover. This ultra-luxurious off-road pack mule sells for around $90,000 and is the latest in a 31-year line of Land Rovers like those in which Charlize used to roam the veldt as a teenager.
Anna Kournikova's Escalade
Eye candy Anna Kournikova, 23, married pop star Enrique Iglesias in Puerto Vallarta , and sported her wedding ring for the paparazzi. She's retired from tennis, but still gets about $15 million a year in endorsement income. Her choice of wheels: a Cadillac Escalade just like the ones tennis officials used to transport the players to Flushing Meadows for the U.S. Open.
Madonna's Maybach
Madonna has a Maybach. When you have a Lear, a yacht and a helipad-equipped mansion, a $360,000 Maybach 57 completes the set. The passenger compartment boasts business-class style reclining seats with headrests stuffed with Hungarian goose down, and the dash is a symphony of leather and walnut. Oh yes, it will carry you silently at 155 miles per hour and leaps from 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds, all of it registered not on a speedometer, but on a "current velocity indicator."
Halle Berry's Thunderbird
Halle Berry has her own personal version of the new Thunderbird. Ford produced a limited edition of the car the beautiful Berry drove in her "Die Another Day" Bond flick, and painted it Sunset Coral, to match her bikini. It sells for around $43,000, and no, Halle isn't an optional extra.
