 Video Game April 10, 2008
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.
EXELLENT GAME December 5, 2007
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!!!!!
 game defective September 23, 2007
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.
Better than the alliance April 25, 2007
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.
FUN BUT FREEZES DURING GAME PLAY! March 15, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The second version of X-MEN LEGENDS 2:RISE OF THE APOCALYPSE is really a fun game. It's pretty much like the first version where you take control of four heroes (x-men or brotherhood or both-and you can switch between them), solve mysteries like finding and talking to certain characters, and fighting your way to Apocalypse. And like the first version, each hero comes with their own unique mutant powers.
One thing that was improved over the first X-MEN LEGENDS is that techbits(money) are plentiful and health/energy packs are usually dropped by every other enemy you defeat. Another improvement is that players have a choice of difficulty setting, so yes, there's an EASY setting, so the game doesn't get too frustrating. Also, the heroes and the enemies are more evenly matched, whereas the fist version had the heroes starting out at level one--while enemies seemed to be at level ten-- making it difficult to pass the early stages of the game.
Another plus is that when you finally beat the game you can choose to continue a new game with all your gear, levels, and unlocked characters intact, which didn't happen in version one.
However, the bad thing about X-MEN LEGENDS 2 is that it crashes/freezes when you get to ACT FOUR. This happens if you start carrying and stashing too much gear and is hateful! There's nothing that can bring you down faster than having a fun game suddenly freeze on you. It happened to me during a fight and I had no idea what happened. The game just froze and I had to start all over from the save point.
Anyway, it kept freezing pretty much on or near the same spot, so I thought it was a defective disc. I exchanged it for another one and had the same problem. So I contacted Activision, via email, and they contacted me an hour later with the solution (I posted it in the forum section). That fixed the problem, so at least Activision has good tech support, but still...the freezing thing was not good!
That's why I gave this game a 4/3 stars, otherwise it would have easily been 5/5.
