X-Men 2: Clone Wars is a platformer released in 1995 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, developed by Headgames and published by SEGA.

It landed about 6 years into the Genesis's life. Other notable Genesis releases from 1995 include Mortal Kombat 3, Comix Zone and Ristar.

It is part of the X-Men series; on the Genesis you can also try X-Men. The series also appears on other systems with The Uncanny X-Men (NES) and X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse (SNES). Headgames also made Pink Goes to Hollywood and Virtual Pinball for the Genesis.

X-Men 2: Clone Wars supports up to 2 players, including cooperative play, which makes it a strong pick for playing with a friend.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you want a game to beat together with a friend

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives

What playing X-Men 2: Clone Wars is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
