Released in 1995, X-Men 2: Clone Wars is a platform game created by Headgames and published by Sega of America for the Mega Drive/Genesis. Serving as a sequel to 1993's X-Men, the game is inspired by the Marvel Comics superhero team, the X-Men. This marks Sega's second X-Men game for the Genesis. In this instalment, an extraterrestrial entity called the Phalanx aims to take control of the Earth, and the X-Men emerge as humanity's last line of defence against this impending threat.

Review RehRomano 2/5 · May 1, 2026

Stunning sprite work and animations accompanied by very frustrating gameplay. I very quickly remembered why I never made it past the third level and can't believe human beings could beat this without cheats or abusing save states in the 90s.

Stunning sprite work and animations accompanied by very frustrating gameplay. I very quickly remembered why I never made it past the third level and can't believe human beings could beat this without cheats or abusing save states in the 90s.

It's a shame because it's really fun to experiment with each character's playstyle and move set on each level. I'd love a spiritual remake of this with a more condensed campaign.

"I'm the best there is at what I do. But what I do best isn't very nice."

When my brother and I meet up, we like to play old co-op games. Neither of us excel at them, so we often end up using cheats. This one was no exception... we wouldn't have made it past the first boss otherwise!

When my brother and I meet up, we like to play old co-op games. Neither of us excel at them, so we often end up using cheats. This one was no exception... we wouldn't have made it past the first boss otherwise!

Like the Double Dragon games, we enjoyed this one in spite of its clumsy platforming. Having multiple X-Men to choose from is really fun, especially since they're more than just skins... each has clear strengths and weaknesses.

The visuals are often really great. In particular the sentinel stages look super cool. Other stages were less enjoyable... we could have done without the entire Savage Land section.

If you like arcade-style co-op beat-em-ups and are very skilled, very patient or very willing to use a Game Genie or other cheat device, you could do far worse than this game.
