Too many problems with the game

I got half way through this game and then it froze up completely. It happened to me during the Archangel battle, and happens every time in that spot. I've even tried different disks (rented one and tried it in order to get past the problem spot), but it didn't help.
$50 down the drain.
I wash I could give it a review, because it is a terrific game -lots of fun. But if it doesn't work, why bother buying it!
Fun but a bit repetitive

This game is fun for its multiplayer, but it gets a bit repetitive and the superpowers are powerful enough it seems.
Awesome game, but the glitch is a *

This is a great game, but the glitch is annoying! It tends to freeze up while in the Danger room and while changing characters. So save often!!!!!!!! I first wrote that it was the Xbox version that had the glitch, but I found out that it happens on all platforms. I also found out that if you keep your inventory low (Hero and item stash) then you can minimize the freeze-ups. (The key word here is minimize, it will still freeze.) Also, it's good to keep a back up saved game, just alternate saves. This way you won't get stuck losing hours of game play like I did. I was just starting Act 5 (the last act) when my game wouldn't load... and I had to start over... not happy. So save yourself some time and frustration by following this advice.
Truly a Legend of a game

This sequel to the hit video game, X-Men Legends, is incredible. Not only do the game makers stick with the original gameplay set up of the first one but they improve on it as well. Making it easier to customize as well as give more choices for your team. Thus far I've reached Avalon in the Savage Land and I've not been disappointed yet. Along with the graphics, sound, and gameplay the storyline is intriguing and entertaining as well.
If anyone attempts to tell you that this game isn't worth the fifty bucks, know then that they're probably stuck back in the stone age with the SNES or Sega. Trust me, this game is an incredible buy so quit wasting time reading this and go buy it.
Game is very fun

I picked this game up one day so my friends and I could play it. Right from the start it was fun and there were a lot of characters to choose from. This game is one of the best multiplayer cooperative RPG games i have played so far. My friends and I have a lot of fun with it, and if you are into X-Men and are a comic book fan, then this is a must. The one point that didn't allow me to rate it a 5 star is that sometimes the game freezes and also, the game is very short. So make sure you save a lot on the way.
Have Fun!
Great game to spend a weekend with friends

This is a great multiplayer game. 4-p coop games are hard to find and this game really made the weekend gathering with my gaming buddies a lot of fun! There are a few little flaws but they are just minor annoyances, do little to take away from the fun.
Pros:
- easy to get into
- good graphics and very good music
- lots of playable and customizable characters
Cons:
- unintuitive menu system when it comes to multiplayer. some controller can be disabled, some can't. sometimes everyone can control the menu options, sometimes can't. etc.
- auto equip re-equips EVERYONE with the "best" equipments, as determined by the AI. if one player has auto equip option turned on, when he/she picks up an item, everyone was affected.
- gameplay is repetitive after a while.
- but repetitive gameplay is not a big factor because game is short, we beat the game in 1 full day+night.
It's An Overall Good Game

I Like This Game More Than The First Cause There Are More Characters In It, Throughout The Game From The Playable Characters, The Bosses, And The Cameo Characters. Besides, Some Of My Favorite Marvel Characters Are On This Game (Juggernaut, Omega Red, Sugar Man, Stryfe, Mister Sinister)There's Nothing Really Wrong With This Game Besides When You Beat It You Might Not Wanna Play It No More (lol) Just Play With 3 Other People It'll Bring It Back

My wife and I played the first game, and then immediately bought this one. We're doing the easy difficulty first. Once we're done, we'll probably go back to the first game and do it again with a higher difficulty. The only negative with the games is that sometimes characters get jammed into tight places (eg a stairwell) when they get too spaced out and you have to bring everybody back to the same spot to "rescue" the one character. Yeah Wolverine!
great fun

Lots of fun. Lots of Menu time but lots of fun. I would say this is more fun than the first X-Men.
