X-Men: The Official Game bridges the story between the second and third X-Men movies. In the game, the player controls Wolverine, Iceman, and Nightcrawler as they deal with the aftermath of the incident at Alkali Lake. The heroes return to Alkali Lake to recover two stolen Cerebro parts, and find out that an unknown organization is conducting a salvage operation on the base. What they uncover reveals a threat to all mutants...
The three playable characters have distinct fighting abilities. Wolverine fights from a fixed third-person view; the player must mash buttons to defeat hordes of soldiers and villains like Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike. Iceman can fly, using his ability to traverse obstacles such as an ice bridge to reach places like a nuclear power plant and the Statue of Liberty. As Nightcrawler, the player views the world from a free third-person perspective; he possesses a teleportation ability, allowing him to surprise enemies while retrieving Cerebro parts and saving the Brooklyn Bridge from Mirror Man.
X-Men: The Official Game was released on May 19, 2006, for the Xbox console.
