It's bigger and badder. But is it worth your while one year later?

By seaward12 | Review Date:
While the biggest and most obvious addition is the spectacular inclusion of four-player-cooperative online play, the doubled super powers, the playable evil mutants, the streamlined menus and more interactive environments make this sequel a worthy sequel in all respects.
Raven doesn't lose sight of its fans, either. This game is hopping with cool Marvel characters, NPCs cameos, and the ability to change outfits, strap on hundreds of gear types, and more. It's a giant treasure chest of X-Men goodness including unlockable comic book covers, art, screens, movies, and more. It's easily one of the top ranking comic books games of the year.

Presentation:Good, quick, and easy to follow menus. Quick loading times, and instant action. 9/10

Graphics: Not much graphic change from the first, although the new levels all deliver distinctly themed environments 9/10

Sound: Great voice acting from every VO Actor. Though...is that really what Sugarman sounds like? A low-level New York thug? 9.5/10

Gameplay: Great dungeon crawling stuff. The range of characters, addition of moves, and the partnering of the X-Men and the Brotherhood is priceless 9.5/10

Lasting Appeal: Fifteen hours to beat wihtout collecting everything. No online for Cubers is a bummer 9.5/10

Overall: 9/10

My Verdict: Buy It :)
