Way better than the first one!
User Rating: 9.6 | X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse GC
I was wondering how could Raven software could have made X-Men Legends a better game.... Here's the answer! Rise of Apocalypse is better than is predecessor in every way except the fact that he is shorter, but with much more replay value. X-ML2 has a better cast of playable characters, the music is incredible, especially in the Madri Temple. The team management as improved in the good way : more powers, higher max lvl (45 > 99), more items... The only point that is on the downside is the Danger Room. Less playable characters in Sparring mode, less DR missions in the main game. Another thing that I less liked, is that the collectible comic books don't give bonus anymore, so there's no apparent reason to cellect them. But still, a lot of collectibles is great. The tech stations is a great addition because it can help your less powerfull units. In overall, a longer story could have made a perfect X-men action RPG.
