About The Game:

Synopsis: X-Men: The Ravages of Apocalypse is a full conversion for Quake based loosely on the Marvel comic book characters. You play a well armed soldier entering the X-Mansion, fighting off clones of the X-Men that were created by the evil Apocalypse.

Your enemies include dopplegangers of Archangel, Beast, Bishop, Cannonball, Cyclops, Gambit, Iceman, Pheonix, Psylocke, Rogue, Storm, and Wolverine. Weapons include a power fist, shotgun, chainsaw, plasma cannon, flame thrower, orb-launcher, duel rocket-launcher, and the nuclear energy radiation dispatcher.

Personally I'd rather be playing an X-Man like Bishop or Wolverine against some of Apocalypse's henchmen from the comics like the Four Horsemen, Hell Hound, The Riders Of The Storm or the Alliance of Evil, but I guess more X-Men on screen sells more games. I've heard complaints that there is not enough ammo in the game, and too many doors can't be opened. There is a demo version available for download for those who want to try it out.
