 - Good use of licensing, average game overallOn occasion I get into what I call "moods": instead of randomly putting in a music CD, it tends to be one specific artist until something new catches my attention. Lately I've been in a big comic book kick, more notably, X-Men, so it makes sense I'd check this game out. Ironically I haven't beaten the first Legends yet but this game has a new story that you don't really need the first one to enjoy. While it is awesome to use X-Men characters, some of the gameplay designs just seem underdeveloped as well as other concepts. Story: As you can probably tell, the game centers around the Age of Apocalypse storyline as him and his 4 Horsemen capture a couple X-Men and leads an assault on Earth. Professor X's X-Men has to reluctantly team up with the Brotherhood in order to bring down this powerful menace. Their trek will take them to the Savage Land, mutant city Genosha as well as Canada and Egypt. Graphics: Basically a more nicer looking Legends with a noticeable cel-shaded look to everything. The in-game graphics are okay but nothing that spectacular. Certain environments just look repetitive while the characters aren't super detailed. However the FMV looks awesome and one particular one involving an air-strike is just as good as anything in cinema. Sound/Music: The music is pretty forgettable. It fits the scenes well but once the thing's over, you can't remember anything about it. The voice acting is kind of a mixed bag from the good such as Xavier to Kitty Pryde to Forge to kinda bad such as Toad, the Ahnuld-sounding Colossus and pretty much every raspy voiced villain in the game. Gameplay: The game features many playable characters and some unlockable ones. While you do get fan favorites such as Gambit, Wolverine or Nightcrawler(teleporting as never been so much fun), some questionable entries such as Scarlet Witch or Sunfire seem a bit strange. Would've been nice if they included Beast, Angel or Psylocke, or even Kitty Pryde. Instead they're relegated to NPC status, except Psylocke who doesn't appear at all. You get weak and strong fighting buttons but each characters has special moves. Holding R and pressing either A, B, X or Y, you'll activate a special move such as Wolverine diving with his claws to Gambit throwing his trademark exploding trading cards to Colossus doing a huge punch. Only problem is that some seem a bit too familiar such as the women and some powers just seem kinda lackluster. Is the game difficult? Kind of. Some are simply easy while there will be sections that will drive you insane cause of how cheap a boss is or running out of health packs. Should you get it? If you're an X-Men fan than definately. If you're not, I suggest giving it a rental first. Rating:  - xmen 3 no way xmen legends 2 o ya!!!!!X men legends 2 is my favorite x men game it has **** grapics (4star) it has awesome fole play and story awesome upgrades and moves the fighting technique is great and too top it all of its a great game for x men fans with many new charecters like night crawler This games the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: - Just As Good As The First Or Better!Ok first this game is so much fun, mainly because you have tons of characters to select from the beginning, both X-Men and Brotherhood and of course you always have other characters you can unlock. There is of course the concept art, load screens, comic books, and cut scenes you can unlock after beating a level. You can also go play around in the Danger Room, play the trivia game which you can earn experience points for correctly answering the questions. There are also costumes you can get besides the ones the characters come with. I've already beaten the game on easy and now doing it on normal then hopefully hard, which by the way you can chose what level you want to play at. So all I have to say is...this is an AWSOME game!!! Rating:  - Like the 2nd movie, the 2nd Legends game disappoints...X-men Legends was a, pardon the cliched pun, x-cellent surprise in the 2004 holiday rush. It featured an interesting storyline that was a take off the X-men comics, all out action and brawling, a deep customization system to develop your characters, challenging yet thankfully and a great selection of characters, which also involved using strategy to keep up a well balanced team suitable for each mission. The sequel features some new improvements. First off, there's some slightly improved graphics. Second, we have deeper customization. Finally, there's a whole new roster of characters, some new, some old, and some bad, such as Magento or Juggernaut. With these features, it definitely seems like the sequel would be an improvement. Unfortunately, there's a big detractor in this game. It's easy. Over-the-top incredibly easy. I am not joking when I say that it takes about 5 hours to beat this game, even when you make sure to explore every area. Enemies(particularly bosses) that were challenging foes in combat from the original now can all be dispatched with a few simple blows. Areas that made use of specific powers(such as say, having Iceman build a bridge for the others to cross) can now be passed easily via an extra route or a switch, which pretty much kills having to switch for other members. Extra items to fulfill sidequests can now be found along the main path. With the game only coming out a year after the first, it seems like the developers made all the stuff for the game up, then rushed to put it all in without adding any difficulty whatsoever. The game is still worth a rental just to check it out, but overall, the original Legends game is just far more satisfying and fun. Hopefully if there's another sequel, it won't be rushed out as quickly. Rating: - Fabulous!I totally love this game! My family and I rented numerous games for our Game Cube in the past 6 months, and this is our favorite! We loved it so much we had to buy it - AND I bought 1 for my 23 year old daughter. This game can be family fun - my 5 year old son plays with my husband and I - we hook up 3 controllers and play as a team! It's totally cool when we hook it up to the big screen TV!
