X-Men III movie game goes mobile
Marvel superheroes return for a third crack at mobile game stardom
You won't be able to escape the X-Men this summer, what with the upcoming X-Men III movie and all manner of tie-ins.
One thing worth looking forward to, though, is the mobile game, sensibly titled X-Men III.
Characters you can play in X-Men III include Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Iceman. On certain handsets, you'll also get to play as Cyclops and Magneto.
Each character has their own special moves – close-combat for Wolverine, teleportation for Nightcrawler, freezing for Iceman and so on. Another key feature is character development; you upgrade the X-Men's powers as you progress through the game's eight different stages.
Enemies include Pyro, Lady Deathstrike, Silver Samurai and Master Mold – and no, we didn't make that last one up.
The storyline has been written by movie scriptwriter Chris Claremont. Intriguingly, it's set before and after the movie, rather than trying to replicate its plot.
