The human race is in danger! Magneto and his brotherhood of evil mutants are on the loose and nothing can stop them... except you, Professor Xavier, and your uncanny X-Men. Cerebro, your advanced computer system, displays the various missions, all of which must be completed in order to end the threat posed by Magneto.

With the help of Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Iceman, you will select the best team for each battle based on their combination of superhuman skills.

- Your X-Men must work as a team in both the 1-player and 2-player games.
- The 2-player game features simultaneous control where cooperation and teamwork are key... but beware, once one of your superheroes is incapacitated, he's out of action for the rest of the game.

Good luck... the fate of humanity is in your hands!
