The X-Men team up with their sworn enemies, Magneto and his Brotherhood, to
stop the greatest threat of all: Apocalypse. This sequel for the PC to the popular
console-only original allows players to control both good and evil mutants in one of
the most popular franchises of all time. The game begins with X-Men Wolverine, Storm,
and Cyclops and the Brotherhood's Magneto, Sabertooth, and Mystique saving Professor
X from Apocalypse's prison. Apocalypse, one of the most powerful mutants in the X-Men
series, has destroyed the mutant haven of Genosha and kidnapped four powerful mutants,
including Quicksilver, Magneto's son. He plans to extract their powers and incorporate
them into his own, making him unstoppable. Players have 15 mutants to select their
party of four from, including Gambit, Toad, Bishop, and Pyro. Each mutant has his or
her own unique abilities and powers, and players will need to learn how to use each
to get through certain areas. The game is divided into five stages, and the end of
the first four, players will face off against one of Apocalypse's powerful henchmen,
the Horsemen. There are also many more cameo appearances scattered throughout the
game, and a number of unlockable extras like hidden characters, classic uniforms, and
other skins. Many of the mutants who appear in the X-MEN movies are voiced by their
movie portrayers, including Patrick Stewart as Professor X. |
