3.0 out of 5 stars Great Game. On-line? Where is everyone?, December 4, 2005

This review is from: X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse (CD-ROM)

This is a really great game for what it is. Reviewers on the XBox and PS2 pages for this are right on with most of their reviews so I won't repeat. In short, this is Diablo with less dark plot, more spiffy powers, and choices. In general this is definately a worthy purchase for anyone and I like the PC version because of the two bonus characters. However one of my biggest reasons for buying this was to play online (in a similar style to Diablo) however I don't think I've ever seen anyone logged on. Its even free to play online! In general the story is solid, the graphics are passable, and its definately a fun way to blow your free time. If you're looking for the next great award winning master piece though, don't look here.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the coolest X-Men characters in a cool game with a cool storyline and cool quotes!, January 14, 2006

This review is from: X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse (CD-ROM)

This is the best X-Men game I've ever played. In it, the X-Men and the Brotherhood team up to try and put an end to Apocalypse's reign of terror which could destroy the world. You can play as Wolverine, Magneto, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Sabretooth, Rouge, Pyro, Cyclops, Gambit, Mystique, Beast, Juggernaut, Jean Grey, Storm, Bishop and Toad. There are other characters you fight against, and more you can unlock. I would love to play as Apocalypse, since he is my 2nd favorite X-Men villain next to Magneto, but too bad! He's the final boss in this game so you can only fight him. And maybe, if you are lucky, unlock. Whatever, it is a cool game anyway. The characters say lots of cool stuff, they can perform all sorts of awesome powers, they can level up and gain more power and the villains you fight against even have some funny or wicked things to say, not to mention nasty combos that make this game all the better. I could go on, but that would take all day. Anyway, I can only imagine what I'll discover when I go further in this terrific game, and all in all, it has the same "top of the tower" greatness for X-Men games as lions do for animals. Period, hands down. Anyway, if you like X-Men, buy this.

I just finished the first "Act", and I am soooo hooked already! I am losing sleep on a regular basis just to play this awesome game. Not since Freedom Force 1 and 2 have I been this excited to play "just one more mission" in a game. Let me just leave it at that, because mere words can't even begin to describe the thrill of playing X-Men Legends 2. I am glad it's available for the PC... why should console kiddies have all the fun? :)
