Storyline

The game begins with the abduction of Alison Crestmere (Magma), a mutant on the verge of discovering her powers. Wolverine witnesses the abduction and chases Mystique and Blob, teaming up with Cyclops to rescue Allison. After safely escaping in the X-Men's jet, Allison is brought to the Xavier Institute where she can talk with the X-Men and students, and explore her powers. The X-Men continue to explore leads that might indicate why Mystique and the Brotherhood of Mutants are interested in Allison.

Gameplay

The game has multiplayer co-operative and skirmish options for up to four players. Co-operative play is similar to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 but more refined with the addition of combination attacks and character interactions.

This format of a mission and then character development is followed throughout the game. While at the mansion, one person controls Alison as she explores and learns about herself and the other X-Men.
