Every choice has a consequence, as your destiny is determined through the decisions you make as you advance through the game.

Evolve and customize your core mutant powers with an opportunity to earn and equip “X-genes” to expand and alter your power base. Choose which path to take in key moments that impact your story and how other characters respond to you. Fight alongside and against famous mutants from the X-Men comics, including Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma Frost and more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good concept, but ultimately falls flat with Silicon Knights, September 28, 2011

This review is from: X-Men: Destiny (Video Game)
The game is just as linear as FFXIII, sending you from battlefield to battlefield with no breaks or chance to explore and rest, with no open-world exploration at any point to make it feel justified. The game is running from one area to the next, looking for collectible X-Genes and Dossiers, defeating weak enemies, while all the real story happens between the X-Men and the Brotherhood through cutscenes.

By the end of the game's story, maybe 3 or 4 days have passed. Your character receives their powers for the very first time at the beginning of the game. Why does no one think it's strange that a 16 year old Asian girl who just got her X-powers is beating up Magneto and Juggernaut and Wolverine, joining the X-Men, and saving the world? Really? Clearly none of the X-Men think this is strange, because no one says a thing about it. Clearly IQ's dropped after Xavier died.

I played as a good guy, and joined the X-Men at the end. But my character did miss a whole branch...Read more

This review is from: X-Men: Destiny (Video Game)
I pre-ordered this game many months ago. Because of how great the Ultimate Alliance games were, and considering how much I enjoy the subject matter, I figured that this would be one of those labors of loves that some developers do when they don't have to tie it around a movie. Well, it turns out I was wrong. This was one of those "We need to make a game that uses the X-Men" games. The combat is so boring and repetitive (and considering that is ALL you do) that you really don't want to take the time necessary to find out about all the other things that you can do (and you don't really want to do those things since you are going to be leaning on a specific power or set of powers anyway). You can play for the story, and there are some interesting features/character voices - but please don't pay full price if you want to do that. This game would be pretty good if it was 15$, but at its current price point - I kind of feel ripped off (which is pretty rare for a game, I mean, I play...Read more

This review is from: X-Men: Destiny (Video Game)
Rented this out because I am an X-Men Fan.
Thank God I rented.

The cut scenes are not really good but just for that they make them extra long.
The models are very very last gen.
The decisions you make have less meaning because both sides still talk to you and move you forward.
Very straight path that you must travel. Unoriginal level design.
And the worst insult I can give a game:
It's really boring.
