Synopsis
With the late William Stryker taking over Cerebro and using it powers against in X2, the X-Men lost a member of their team and the ability to defend the world. A team of Nightcrawler, Cyclops and Wolverine decided to return to Stryker lab at Alkali lake and re-obtain Cerebro's components to stop Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants. In the caverns the team divided and late Jason Stryker telepathically tried to drive Nightcrawler away, revealing that he was alive. Jason wanted to fulfill his father's dream and destroy all mutants by activating the Sentinel project. At the same time Wolverine encountered and defeated Lady Deathstrike, who was considered dead too.
Thanks to the team, Cerebro was repaired and Professor X used it to find more information about the Sentinel project. Charles sent his team to Japan, because there was some activity related to it. Rogue, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Iceman came to some Samurai castle. Iceman encountered Pyro, who became a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants, and defeated him. Wolverine had a fight with Silver Samurai and won as well. Samurai revealed that Hydra went into business with Stryker to build the Sentinels and the giant robot Master Mold. He also said that Master Mold can be defeated using some back-door: an inhibitor device that was kept at their Hong Kong facilities. The team went there, as well as Magneto. X-Men decided to join forces with the master of magnetism and defeat Master Mold together. However, the robot was too hard for Magneto to defeat and X-Men were forced to fight him alone. X-Men destroyed Master Mold and Jason Stryker's spirit posed no threat anymore.Notes
- In the game you play as Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Iceman with Cyclops and Magento being playable only for a short segment. There's also a simplified version of the game with 12 levels similar to each other, where you play through all of them as Wolverine. This version also omits most of the story elements and Pyro boss battle.
