X-men Legends 2 - Xbox Game (Retro Fam)

This game was really cool, and my buddies and I have been playing it pretty much every night of the week, unlocking every part we could. Eventually, one of my friends and I got to Sugar Man, with Bishop, Deadpool, Iceman and Gambit in tow...for some reason, Bishop being the time traveling genius he is, decided the wall was more dangerous than Sugar Man, and decided to unload all of his energy on it. Needless to say, we got thumped when he used all of our energy packs on a wall that wouldnt die. We jumped him out of our team for good, and I kept using Deadpool, also equipped with twin pistols. Guess what he did...he spent about a full minute shooting a wall with nobody there first chance he got. Even though he is one of my favorite marvel characters, I was so mortified by this act, that he got second string position...he's on the back burner. The only other problem with him was that fighting against Deadpool, he had a much better voice than the Deadpool that you play as after you beat the game. We spent a lot of time just laughing at him. Anyways, despite the shortcomings of these two characters, and that Colossus is too weak in the game for what hes like in the comics, I found the game amazingly built. The only thing preventing a 5 star rating is the idiocy of characters with guns. If Forge were playable, id prolly be crying, instead of just wincing in pain, because he'd do the exact same thing.

great game !!

This was indeed a saddening experience. The first X-Men Legends was pretty flawed, but this one was really a blast to play for the most part. I was smelling a five-star rating until the last third of the game, when serious problems crop up to make this game sometimes frustrating, sometimes infuriating...and at this point, unplayable (more to follow).Pros:- Most of my criticisms of the previous games have been acknowledged. Character abilities are much more diverse, so they feel much more like unique personalities now. And who wouldn't like playing with Magneto, Toad, or Juggernaut?- Character training has been improved. In the previous game, the biggest problem was that you get so few ability points that you don't get to play around with some of the less useful, more exotic character skills. Here, characters can be customized to an impressive extent.- Bishop was always one of my favourite X-Men, not to mention one of the few genuinely black characters (instead of a white character with brown skin, like Storm) in the comics. Great to see him in this game.- The new "Blink Portal" feature allows you to call up a save point in most places every five minutes. This is an excellent balance between not letting the player save for 20 minutes straight (a major problem in X-Men Legends) and so many saves that the challenge goes right out the window.- The fighting system has been tweaked, all for the better. Enemies are smarter, and sometimes it's frustrating to fight them, but.

This is a really fun game. The graphics were well designed and the game play was unique, not like other games I've played before. It was fun being able to choose which characters to play and designing my own team. I would recomend this game. It's not the best game in the world, but if you like X-Men you'll like this game a lot.

JUST AS GREAT AS THE FIRST ONE, THE STORYLINE IS MORE INVOLVED. THE BEST THING IS THAT YOU CAN PLAY AS THE BROTHERHOOD LIKE JUGGERNAUT AND MAGNETO. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME FOR ALL THOSE WHO LOVE COMICS.
