A good game plays by a set of clearly defined rules; a great game gives you plenty of clever opportunities to break those rules. X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse breaks the rules by letting you create an unlikely mutant dream team of heroes and villains from a cast of characters that includes the legendary X-Men as well as Magneto’s sinister band, the Brotherhood. In most respects, the game doesn’t differ much from the first title in the series; but the novelty of teaming up the good guys and bad guys to go after the really bad guys is enough to make this game enjoyable in its own right.

Brotherhood and X-Men unite to fight Apocalypse, one of the baddest mutants around.
The story in X-Men Legends II kicks off with a great rendered cutscene that shows Magneto, Mystique, and Sabertooth teaming up with Wolverine, Cyclops, and Storm to free the enslaved Professor Xavier. Even if you’re only a passing fan, you know that Magneto and Professor X aren’t exactly best friends anymore. However, the Brotherhood and the X-Men are forced to set aside their differences in order to focus their collective attention on the newest (oldest) bad guy in town, Apocalypse. Actually, to call Apocalypse a threat is an understatement–he’s one of the most powerful mutants in the Marvel universe. The game picks up shortly after Apocalypse has all but destroyed the mutant haven known as Genosha. Eventually, Apocalypse kidnaps four mutants, and with the help of the crackpot geneticist Mr. Sinister, he plans to extract the mutants’ powers and use them to make himself even more powerful. One of the kidnapped mutants happens to be Magneto’s son, Quicksilver. As you can imagine, that really pisses Magneto off, so he sets out to defeat Apocalypse. And thus begins a tale filled with all the dramatic twists, turns, treachery, and triumph you’d expect from a comic book story.

The game is divided into five acts, which conveniently translates to a fight with one of the Horsemen of Apocalypse in each act, with the big guy waiting for you at the end. Of course, there are all kinds of minibosses and goons for you to fight as well, and the game draws deeply from the extensive X-Men mythos that Marvel has woven together over the past 40 years. Whereas the first X-Men Legends game focused on a single character, this one focuses on the relationship between Brotherhood and X-Men. In fact, Magma–the character introduced in the first game–doesn’t even show up here at all. You probably won’t miss her too much though, since you have access to 15 playable characters from the beginning of the game, with three secret characters to unlock later. If you’re playing the PC version of the game, you’ll get Pyro and Sabertooth right from the start as well. In all the versions you’ll see familiar faces like Wolverine, Magneto, Gambit, and Juggernaut, and slightly less-well-known characters like Toad, Bishop, and Sunfire.
