About X-Men 2: Clone Wars
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. The gameplay closely resembles the side-scrolling action of its predecessor. Notably, there is an expanded roster of playable characters, including Beast, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Wolverine, Cyclops, and Magneto.

A well-liked X-Men action game that costs more than most US carts, and far more in Europe.
X-Men 2: Clone Wars is a 2D action platformer developed by HeadGames and published by Sega, a sequel to the 1993 X-Men game. It came out in North America on 15 May 1995 and in Europe in 1995. It was one of several Genesis games in 1995 that came in a paper box rather than the usual clamshell case.
Complex later ranked it the 18th best game on the Genesis, and ScrewAttack ranked it 20th, praising what it considered the best soundtrack on the system.

“In the final analysis, X-Men 2 is a good game, but not a classic by any stretch of the imagination.”
“The game kicks off at a cracking pace and gets more furious as you progress, moving at a fair lick and coiMtantly throw¬ ing In now enemies and hazards. In short, this Is one of the best action plat¬ formers Sega has released In absolutely ages.”
“Even though some of the jump moves are a bit jerky, this game boasts impressive graphics and some unique hidden levels.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Genesis version.
