X-Men Legends for PlayStation 2

Pros: Great story, intuitive gameplay, fantastic characters...
Cons: Some slow loads, missing (favorite) characters...

Superheroes have always been my main interest as far as comics and animated television. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, X-Men—they all rock as far as I’m concerned. So when it was announced that Activision was to release a new X-Men video game I ...

Pros: Good graphics/sound effects/voices/storyline, lots of extras, 4-character team orientated gameplay
Cons: Gameplay gets redundant, recycled 3d characters, long load times.

X-Men: Legends (XML) follows after the successful overhead RPG hack and slash games like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath. It takes the overhead run-hack-slash action game and combines it with some RPG elements such as leveling up ...

Pros: Nice detail; variety of gameplay; multiplayer action; It's the X-MEN fer cryin out loud
Cons: Glitches, graphics could be better, replay value questionable

I've been an X-men fan since the early 90s. I used to wonder about the feasibility of an X-men streetfighter game as well as an X-men RPG game. Capcom answered the call for X-men streetfighters in the late 90s, and now Activision finally brings us ...

Pros: Plenty of comic book references, good RPG-like system
Cons: Play is buggy at times, gets a little dull near the end of the game

This game managed to do something truly incredible, which many other video games have promised, but failed to deliver. It captured the essence of the comic-books as seamlessly as Hugh Jackman's transformation to Wolverine for the X-Men movies. And if ...

Pros: A lot of Characters, great controls, cool upgrades, great team dynamics!
Cons: Story a bit linear thus far, Camera angles are a bit off!

First off, this game is just fun to play. I have not completed the game yet, but it's definitely one that I plan on finishing. There's a level of replay in the game, since you can upgrade the characters differently, which would change the game in many ...

Pros: Great for X-Men fans, characters to choose from. Good voice-overs, interesting storyline.
Cons: Graphics weak. Game repetitive for many players not used to hack ‘n slash games.

We've been plagued by so many poor licensed super hero games over the years that I was shocked to see X-Men Legends for PS2 actually getting decent reviews. After 2003’s horribly Wolverine’s Revenge, I assumed that X-Men Legends would follow suit. I was ...

Pros: 16 X-men, deep storyline, Classic Danger Room encounters
Cons: Forgettable music, funky camera angles, sometimes slow action

So, the appeal of the X-men is quite far reaching and long-standing due to a deep, realistic (and yet still fantasy), and exciting series of storylines. The X-men have held the hearts of kids and adults ever since the 60s. Only until recently have the ...

Pros: Good Graphics and Sound.
Cons: Bad music, not enough voice acting.

Until the recent City of Heroes, Spider-Man 2, and Freedom Force, games based on comic book characters have often been resoundingly dull and in many cases abysmal gaming experiences. With the success of the X-Men movies fans were waiting with baited ...

Pros: Good RPG/action game with even better multi-player options!
Cons: Load times may drive you crazy at times!

X-Men Legends is part RPG (role-playing game) and part action game. This is one of the few games I've bought on a whim, and I'm glad I did so. The Story: As the game begins, tension between humans and mutants is nearly boiling over. A ...

Pros: A lot of different characters.
Cons: Game can be slow to load and finding a save point can be frustrating.

This is a really fun game. Lots of cool characters to play as and use their powers. Getting to play as Professor X was awesome. His powers kick butt!!
