The game X-Men: The Official Game is based on the third film in the X-Men series. The game lets you control one of four characters - Wolverine, Colossus, Iceman or Nightcrawler - through 25 stages of a traditional side-scrolling beat-'em up.
You move through the levels usually to find the exit. The stages can scroll from left to right, top to bottom or are designed more like a labyrinth. Enemies can be defeated by using a variety of punches. The characters differ in range and the damage they deal. Every character also has their own special attack and some abilities of their own.
The characters start off as Wolverine but are later joined by the other three, allowing you to switch between them at any time. Each X-Man also has their own power bar, which is filled up by collecting blue symbols that can be used to increase damage for a short period of time.
