DESCRIPTION

X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse is full of the characters from Marvel's X-Men comic books. To start, there is Wolverine, Cyclops, Psylocke, Gambit, and the blue man himself, Beast. From the onset, you can choose which of these characters you want to control. Professor X gives the basic plot, and from there each character has to complete their own level until all can move on. You have two lives for each character. You can kick, punch, jump, or use a super move. Super moves differ for each character, and you can only use them when they are available to you. Wolverine's super move is a hurricane punch with his claws. Cyclops gives a burst of optical energy. Gambit throws one of his ever-present playing cards at the enemy. Beast rushes towards the enemy with a shoulder-block. Psylocke uses her mental abilities while running towards the enemy to defeat them.

In addition to the mission mode, which gives you the full story, there is also a training mode, in which you have unlimited use of the character's super move, as well as three lives per X-Man. ~ Mark Kanarick, All Game Guide
