2005 Game of the Year

Strengths: Gameplay (Single and Multiplayer), Cast, Visuals, Replay Value

Weakness: Camera angles at times can be awkward, No Cable in this version :(

X-Men fans rejoice. This is truly a game worth every penny. To begin, if you enjoyed the original, there's nothing not to like in this one. All the elements you loved from the original are re-introduced here, and then improved on. The cast of characters is solid, now uniting the X-Men and the Brotherhood. There are more mutant powers to choose from, and most are easily swappable in-game to give...

A worthy sequel

Strengths: More characters. More action. better customization. Looks fantastic.

Weakness: No major improvements.

X-Men Legends II is a very good sequel to numeral uno. There is a greatre ability to customize your characters. Also, this tiem you can team up with villians like Magneto and Juggernaut to fight the forces of Apocalypse. So The extra variety of characters is very cool. So it's a great new adventure with more options, more characters, and it looks great. Other than that, it doesn't add a whole...

Can't wait for a third

Strengths: Improves on the original and expands the world

Weakness: Felt a little more buggy than the first game

For multiplayer beat-em-up action, Legends 2 is a treat. Solved were the two main problems from the first game: automatic stat assigning when levelling up (so you don't have to pause the action) and making it feel more multiplayer. In the first game, there was a lot of downtime searching for people to talk to before missions, and at the start of the game only one person could play. In the sequel,...

X-Men Legends 2

Strengths: XBL-capable multiplayer, expanded roster of characters, good graphics

Weakness: None apparent

X-Men Legends 2 takes the first game and gives it some nice improvements. First to be added is XBL-capable co-op gameplay, which adds some nice replay to the game. The character roster is expanded with characters from both the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. The graphics get a minor tweak, and still look good.

More X-Men

Strengths: Online play. Awesome cinematics. Tons of characters. DEADPOOL !!!

Weakness: Boring story. Repetitive gameplay. Too much dialog. Noone plays online.

X-men Legends 2 is the cash in sequel to the first X-Men Legends game. The first game was a refreshing take on comicbook games. Like the first game you control 4 characters at once. You can switch between each character and take direct control of them. It is basically a hack n' slash RPG set in the X-men universe. For the sequel, online play was added yet there is never anyone online. This is...

Great sequel to the hit game

Strengths: Impressive presentation; interactive environments; extensive use of X-Men franchise; satisfying music and voice acting; Xbox Live

Weakness: Too many load screens; sound effects a bit weak

X-Men Legends II is the sequel to the popular X-Men Legends, and this game is just as impressive as its predecessor. This game makes great use of the cast of X-Men characters and does so in a manner that fans of the series will surely enjoy. The environments are interactive and destructible just like the first game. The music and voice acting are impressive yet again. However, what makes this...

X-men Legends II

Strengths: Game play, sound, storylines, character choice

Weakness: Graphics, repetitive

X-men Legends II builds on its predecessor (already a great game) by adding many new characters and storylines from the X-men universe. This Gauntlet-type hack and slash game is one of my favorite games. The game play is excellent. Taking control of 4 mutants and using their powers effectively on the many environments and against a variety of enemies are stunning. Also, the additional RPG...

X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse (Xbox).

Strengths: The game that X-Men Legends should have been. It's got four-player online co-op, it's got tons of playable characters including a healthy range of X-men and the Brotherhood of Evil, and it's bigger, more interactive, and it's re-organized for more eff

Weakness: In the grand scheme of things, nothing major has changed here. The cut scenes need some work

If your a fan of the X-Men comic books, you will love this game. If you can't for this summer's X-Men 3, you will love this game. Some of the plot of this summer's movie are in the game -- but that is not a spoiler because the game is not based on the movie. What you get is the entire X-Men universe and you get the chance to team up some of the foes and villians in some spectacular battles. While...

Great comic Game

Strengths: co-op

Weakness: camera

This game is how all comic book based games should be made. It is fun, exciting, has depth, and has multiplayer. The game is 20+ hour diablo style romp through the world of X-men. You should defintley buy this game.

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse

The rescued man in question, who is slumped over in his wheelchair, is Professor Charles Xavier. The same Professor Xavier who runs the School for Gifted Children and is the psychic force that guides the...
