Since this game is really comprised of 3 segments, I'll break them down individually..
Wolverine: This is how most of the game is.. It's also the most pointless action I've ever played. You just sit in a giant room as enemies spawn at you. There are moments here, but it's overall putrid. It's unresponsive, has canned combos, and is in several ways uninspired.
Nightcrawler: These levels were actually pretty good, which is why I gave the game a 2 instead of a one. The reasoning behind that is the Nightcrawler levels go by way too fast, and there aren't even that many to begin with.
Iceman: I may have given this game over a 2 if not for these abominations to gaming. They're supposed to be like a flight game I suppose, but if I strapped two honey baked hams to my feet and jumped onto a snowy slop I would have more control than you have in these levels. Iceman just sorta glides around aimlessly. You tell him to do something, he sits there a few seconds, and then says, "What?"
These are separate from the other problems plagueing the game, namely the subpar graphics, generally abysmal control, and only 3 characters.
My advice: Rent either of the X-Men Legends games or wait until Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is out. Any one of these are better uses of your time than X3. Especially considering you can get the X-Men Legends games for 20 bucks or less, and in fact, around 13 here from GameFly.
Overall:
GRAPHICS: 4. Servicable, but far from satisfactory. Overused bloom effects galore.
CONTROL: 1. Ugh. That's really all I can say about this.
REPLAY: 1. None. The Achievements are worthless, and you can obviously tell they ran out of ideas. "This Achievement is awarded when the gamerscore reaches 950"... Instead of simply making the hardest Achievement worth 50 more points.
FUN: 2. It's sorta fun I guess, if you're incredibly stupid and/or high. It only lasts about 4 hours, which would be better spent watching the first two X-Men movies again. Also, cheap deaths abound! YAY!
