    Magneto fans will be attracted to the DS version of Activision's "back-story" game that leads into the new X-Men movie, since the Master of Magnetism is a playable character only on the DS. [July 2006, p.95]

    While the use of the control scheme is innovative, X-Men: The Official Game is a pretty uninteresting experience.

    X-Men fans would do better to stick with the "Legends" games. If you absolutely need some mutants on the go, however, you could certainly do worse.

    X-Men: The Official Game just isn't fun at all.

    The game isn't that good, i mean in the ds version you can play as magneto which is kinda cool but there isn't enough action. I mean all you do in the game is use the stlyus to point at enemies to attack them. I wouldn't recomend you getting the game at least for ds, save your money for a better game.… Expand
