'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is the sequel to the [[Sega Mega Drive]] game ''[[X-Men]]'', released in 1995 by [[Headgames]] and [[Sega]] under license from [[Marvel Comics]].

 +
==Story==
 +
The game is based on the current story arc from the comics at the time of development. The plot is narrated through the Cerebro and Professor X's communication with each other. Cerebro detects that the techno-organic alien race known as the Phalanx have returned and have contaminated a sentinel manufacturing facility. Learning this, Professor X sends the X-Men (Beast, Psylocke, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Cyclops) to destroy the Phalanx virus, but discovers that the virus has spread to Avalon, home of Exodus and Magneto.
  
 
==Gameplay==
 
==Gameplay==
−
Each character can attack using either a normal punch ({{B}}) or one of their special powers ({{A}}). They can also jump ({{C}}) and can jump on walls and wall jump (similar to how Mighty the Armadillo wall jumps in ''[[Knuckles' Chaotix]]''). Plenty of character specific moves exist. Unlike the original ''X-Men'', special powers are not limited in the amount of energy you have to use them; in fact, you can even charge them for even more power. Each time you die, you can choose to continue with a different character.
+
{{ScreenThumb|XMen2 MD CharacterSelect.png|width=200|Character select}}
 +
The game is an action platformer like its predecessor. Characters walk with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouch with {{down}}. They jump with {{C}} and jump down from platforms with {{down}}+{{C}}. Characters do a basic short-ranged attack with {{B}}, which can while crouching with {{down}}+{{B}} or directed upwards with {{up}}+{{B}}. Each character also has a unique mutant ability that is performed with {{A}}. Unlike the preceding game, special powers do not require energy to use. Some special abilities can be charged by holding {{A}}.
  
−
Health is restored by collecting DNA strings, which come in three sizes, corresponding to the amount of health they restore
+
Characters have a health bar consisting of multiple segments. They lose segments as they take damage from enemies. When the character has high health (indicated by the two yellow segments at the top of the bar), his or her attacks and abilities are especially powerful. If a character loses all of his or her health, the player loses a life and must restart the stage. The player can choose another character to play. The game ends if the player runs out of lives.
  
−
The game is notable for starting you with a random character on the first level upon turning on the system; beating this level takes you to the title screen, and from there, the next level of the game.
+
The game supports two-player simultaneous play, with each player controlling a different character.

===Characters===
−
Assist characters are gone, but the playable cast has been boosted up to seven different X-Men: Beast, Psylocke, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Cyclops are initially playable, and a seventh character becomes available around a quarter into the game.
+
Beast, Psylocke, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Cyclops are initially playable, and a seventh character becomes available midway through the game. The assist characters from the first game are no longer available.

Wolverine also has an extremely strong sense of smell, making it very difficult to ambush him.

| desc=A concentration camp survivor, Magneto dedicated to mutant race just like Professor X, even though his depiction of ideal world is much more different than him. Unlike Professor X, Magneto is a much more hardened and ruthless character because of terrible experiences he suffered in the past.

Despite being one of most relentless enemies of the X-Men, Magneto is a pragmatic man and in some instances he joined forces with his enemies in order to eliminate a much more powerful threat.

X-Men 2: Clone Wars is the sequel to the Sega Mega Drive game X-Men, released in 1995 by Headgames and Sega under license from Marvel Comics.

Story

The game is based on the current story arc from the comics at the time of development. The plot is narrated through the Cerebro and Professor X's communication with each other. Cerebro detects that the techno-organic alien race known as the Phalanx have returned and have contaminated a sentinel manufacturing facility. Learning this, Professor X sends the X-Men (Beast, Psylocke, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Cyclops) to destroy the Phalanx virus, but discovers that the virus has spread to Avalon, home of Exodus and Magneto.

Gameplay

XMen2 MD CharacterSelect.png

Character select

The game is an action platformer like its predecessor. Characters walk with Left and Right and crouch with Down. They jump with C and jump down from platforms with Down+C. Characters do a basic short-ranged attack with B, which can while crouching with Down+B or directed upwards with Up+B. Each character also has a unique mutant ability that is performed with A. Unlike the preceding game, special powers do not require energy to use. Some special abilities can be charged by holding A.

Characters have a health bar consisting of multiple segments. They lose segments as they take damage from enemies. When the character has high health (indicated by the two yellow segments at the top of the bar), his or her attacks and abilities are especially powerful. If a character loses all of his or her health, the player loses a life and must restart the stage. The player can choose another character to play. The game ends if the player runs out of lives.

The game supports two-player simultaneous play, with each player controlling a different character.

Characters

Beast, Psylocke, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Cyclops are initially playable, and a seventh character becomes available midway through the game. The assist characters from the first game are no longer available.

X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Characters.png
 Beast
Real Name:
Hank McCoy
Beast is the son of an American astronaut who was subjected to cosmic radiation. Originally depicted as a likeable brute, he was later retconned to be a smart and talented scientist. He gained blue fur thanks to a medicine he developed and used on himself. In addition to his sharp intellect, Beast is a formidable fighter thanks to his large muscles and surprising agility.

Beast attacks with his claws with B. He does a low slap with Down+B, which hits foes beside him, and a vertical mule kick with Up+B, which hits enemies directly above him. He performs a leaping dive and a roll with Down-left+C or Down-right+C. He can also stick to walls by pressing the D-pad in the direction of the wall and holding B (or jump off walls with the D-pad and C).

His mutant ability is slamming the ground with A, which sends shockwaves around him. He does a somersault spin kick with A when airborne.

X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Characters.png
 Cyclops
Real Name:
Scott Summers
Field leader of X-Men. Calm, reserved and responsible. His parents were kidnapped while traveling in a plane and both Summers and his brother parachuted off. A head trauma during landing made his optic blasts uncontrollable, so he has to wear specially designed ruby quartz goggles in order to prevent accidental discharges.

Cyclops attacks by punching with B; he does a combo punch by pressing B twice in quick succession. He performs a flying kick by pressing Left+B or Right+B while airborne.

His mutant ability is firing optic blasts from eyes with A. He can charge the beam for a larger and more powerful attack by holding A. The beam can be aimed in any direction except directly downward by holding A while standing. It can also be fired while crouching (though only horizontally) or jumping.

X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Characters.png
 Gambit
Real Name:
Remy LeBeau
Former member of New Orleans thieves' guild, Gambit joined to X-Men simply to have fun. While he cares about his friends, he is mostly in it for a ride and to spend more time with Rogue. He is intensely agile thanks to his training as a thief. His mutant power allows him to empower physical objects with kinetic energy, which allows Gambit to detonate them when thrown. He generally uses a staff and his deck of 52 cards as his signature weapons. Likeable, roguish, and a ladies' man.

Gambit attacks by swinging his staff with B; he does a double staff swing by pressing B twice in quick succession. He performs a flying kick by pressing Left+B or Right+B while airborne.

His mutant ability is throwing kinetic cards with A. He can charge the cards for a more powerful attack by holding A. The charged attack throws two cards in a slight spread. The cards can be aimed in any direction except directly downward by holding A while standing. They can also be thrown while crouching (though only horizontally) or jumping.

X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Characters.png
 Nightcrawler
Real Name:
Kurt Wagner
Wagner was taken in by a group of gypsies and worked as an acrobat for a traveling circus before being recruited into X-Men. His mother is Mystique, cunning and calculating lackey of Magneto, which might explain his physical appearance. In addition to his natural agility, Nightcrawler is an expert fencer and can crawl over many solid surfaces. His mutant power is his ability to teleport short distances. Deeply religious and has a strong sense of justice.

Nightcrawler attacks by punching with B. He performs a flying kick by pressing Left+B or Right+B while airborne. He does a spinning jump by pressing C twice quickly. He can also stick to walls or ceilings by pressing the D-pad in the direction of the surface and holding B and then climb along the surface with the D-pad.

His mutant ability is teleportation, in which he disappears and reappears in a nearby location by pressing A and using the D-pad to choose the direction. He can charge the ability to teleport father by holding A. Teleporting damages or kills enemies that are in the way.

X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Characters.png
 Psylocke
Real Name:
Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock
Braddock is a very powerful psychic from Britain. After a certain event, Psylocke changed bodies with a female assassin from Japanese criminal organization called "The Hand". Psylocke is a very powerful telepath and capable of projecting pure psionic energy from her hands. She is also a very talented and agile close quarters combatant thanks to the skills she inherited from the owner of her new body.

Psylocke attacks with a katana slash with B; she does a double sword slash by pressing B twice in quick succession. She can swing her sword in a full circle by pressing B while airborne. She does a spinning jump by pressing C twice quickly. She can slide along the ground with Down-left+C or Down-right+C. She can also stick to walls by pressing the D-pad in the direction of the wall and holding B (or jump off walls with the D-pad and C).

Her mutant ability is her "psychic knife" with A, which is a short-ranged but powerful telepathic energy blade that can phase enemies out of existence. If used in the air, she charges forward with it.

X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Characters.png
 Wolverine
Real Name:
Logan
Wolverine is a small-framed but lethal mutant. Before joining the X-Men, he worked as a secret agent for Canadian government. With years of experience under his belt, Wolverine has several other abilities that make him the toughest mutant alive. His "healing factor" allows him to recover even the most severe wounds and significantly slows down his aging process. His signature weapons are claws retracted into his knuckles when not in use. Every bone in his body is laced with "Adamantium," one of most resilient metals in existence, making his bones extremely difficult to break. Wolverine also has an extremely strong sense of smell, making it very difficult to ambush him.

Wolverine attacks with his claws with B; he does a double slash by pressing B twice in quick succession. He does a spinning jump by pressing C twice quickly. He can also stick to walls or ceilings by pressing the D-pad in the direction of the surface and holding B and then climb along the surface with the D-pad.

His mutant ability is a claw swipe with A. Wolverine jumps forwards and slices the enemy, causing massive damage of killing them instantly. He also recovers health slowly when not engaged in combat.

X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Characters.png
 Magneto
Real Name:
Erik Lehnsherr
A concentration camp survivor, Magneto dedicated to mutant race just like Professor X, even though his depiction of ideal world is much more different than him. Unlike Professor X, Magneto is a much more hardened and ruthless character because of terrible experiences he suffered in the past. He believes that mutants should rule the human race, rather than living together in peace with them. Despite being one of most relentless enemies of the X-Men, Magneto is a pragmatic man and in some instances he joined forces with his enemies in order to eliminate a much more powerful threat. Magneto is capable of controlling magnetism, which makes him one of the most powerful mutants in history since pretty much everything contains some amount of metal in it.

Magneto attacks by shooting energy orbs with B. The orbs can be aimed in any direction except directly downward by holding B while standing. They can also be shot while crouching (though only horizontally) or jumping. He can also levitate by pressing A while in the air. He can attack in any direction while levitating. He stops levitating if he is attacked or if the player presses A again. He also has a very high jump.

His mutant ability is the magnetic destruct orb, which is fired across the screen with A and explodes after a duration for large area damage. The orb can be fired a longer distance by holding A.
