Better than the alliance

In my humble opinion, the X-Men doesn't need an alliance with other marvel characters to defeat any enemy, why? if you've played Ultimate alliance i think that you've used wolverine, or at least you've it in your actual party of marvel ultimate alliance.

I used to read the X-Men a lot when i was a teenager and when i went to college, well, this is game has it, the same feeling when you read the comic book, it is as good as Wolverine's revenge and i can assure you it has a lot better plot than Ultimate Alliance.

The game is like Champions but with amazing cell shading graphics. The game is based on the comic books and not the movies and is a great addition to anybody's superhero game library. The game can be played in 1, 2, 3 or 4 players, and if you're playing your game alone and somebody comes in and wants to join, you can simply do it pausing the game and adding the control to the second, third or fouth player immediately and if that friend or family member has to go or simpley doesn't want to play anymore, you can pause the game and simply turn off the control to the player.

The game is long enough to keep you busy and fun enough to keep you playing.

Compared to the first game this has better graphics, better sound but equally good storyline, my game didn't freeze as the other people in this page and it works perfectly.

The good thing of this game is that you can switch from one character to another depending the situation, and you can use celebrities of the X-Men comic books, like Magneto or Toad.

If you like the X-Men or the marvel universe and action RPG games this is your kind of game.

If you've had a dissapointment as i did with marvel ultimate alliance and you think the game is over rated but you're afraid that this game will be a big dissapointment also, think again, this game is a lot better that the alliance, i can assure you that.

Hope this helps.

X-Men Legends II is pretty good. The action is nice and the animations are smooth. But this game isn't great. It gets pretty boring at times and you mainly just punch and do combos ( which is cool, but I expect Spider-Man to do combos). Anyway I highy reconmmed it, although you might wanna to rent it first.

I returned this product due to it being defective. overall the game is great, i purchased it from amazon due to what i thought was an error in my existing game. after purchasing a new copy from amazon, there is a game gliche in it which causes the game to freeze up @ a certain point. I spoke to cindy @ customer service who took me through the appropriate steps in returning a defective product. the game was mailed on 9/19 & should be received by you soon.

This is one of the greatest games of all time, and is a HUGE improvement on the first game if you ask me! I mean here you find health packs every 5 seconds I think they maybe even made this game TOO fun! I have beat it about three timesand I still think it rocks! Definitely worth 20 bucks!

this game totally rocks!!!!!

I don't play many video games, especially roll-playing games. This one was fun and I did get hooked. I had to finish the game. There are several characters to choose from and up to four players can play at once. The storyline was interesting. Also with cheat codes, you have more power.

Not much fun

I bought this to play with a friend, but we gave up on it after an hour or so. I was hoping for a good beat-em-up game with some neat moves, but X-Men Legends II can't decide whether it wants to be an RPG or action game. Sometimes an action RPG can be fun, like Oblivion. But XMLII gets overly mired down in the crappy story. You wind up in a pattern, fight 10 or 20 enemies, then it goes to cut scenes about the uninteresting story. I really just want to beat stuff up. You're constantly finding items and powers that you're supposed to intelligently distribute, we always just used "auto distribute" or whatever and kept on going. After all, it's no fun sitting around watching the other play distribute powers and items.

The graphics aren't very good, the characters are fairly small, the alien planet scenery isn't that interesting. Sounds were decent.

Overall if you're looking for an action game with RPG elements and a constantly intruding storyline, this game is for you. Otherwise pass or just rent it.

A quick review - highs and lows

At its heart, this is a button mashing action game. The role-playing features are secondary to what amounts to a very "Gauntlet"-type experience (for those of you familiar with that franchise). On the plus side:

-The many powers you can unlock for each character make the game interesting and really do provide your characters with improved performances.
-The voice-over is faithful to each character.
-There are many secrets to unlock (characters, abilities, items, etc.)

On the "negative" side:
-The combat system is real time, which for me meant that the learning curve was pretty high at first. I had to learn how to assign powers, use them, switch mutants, and heal everyone...all while being atacked.
-There are so many abilities for each mutant to build up that, at times, it gets to be too much to remember.
-Same goes for the items you can buy or acquire from enemies. After a while, if you want to switch belts, or gloves, or anything else between mutants, it's going to take you a bit.
-Finally, the hack and slash style of play gets a little old.

When the last installment came out it left alot of Unanswered questions answered. So who wouldn't have thought the next installment release wouldn't have done the same. With the Rise of Apocalypes it have only done just the opposite, such as why is the angle of the camera so difficult to readjust?, also when are the characters going to be able to use their powers during flight? Once you get past the intial hangups the game play is back to the original. SO if you are a FAN of the 1st installement then this next venture is exactlly what you are seeking for.

This just may be my shortest review yet... all I can say is take the first game, X-Men Legends, and times it by 2. The game delivered in everything I had hoped it would have, even more mutants, great sound and ambience, nice storyline and fantastic gameplay.

All that held me back in even the slightest was the fact that it was a quick game. Not blink and its over quick but turn your head to look at your poster of White Queen and its over quick. :)

If you liked the first game.. you have to get this one... if you never played the first game... find my review on that one, rent it and see if its anything you like, than buy this game. :)

Don't buy this. DO NOT buy this.

This is one of Marvel's more pathetic attempts at a video game. And probably one of the worst games out there as far as PlayStation2 is concerned. Why? Because while the gameplay and controls are fun, the actual game itself is filled with glitches, sub-par graphics, and some levels are almost impossible to get through unless you have a stroke of luck and find out what exactly you are supposed to be doing.

Like Marvel? Like the X-Men? Well buy the game based on the movie, instead of buying this. This is just pathetic. Even the first Spiderman game was better.
