The X-men are back with this second installment of X-men Legends. If you liked the first game then you should like this one even more. Improved graphics and sound, new attacks and equipment are featured. However, the cream of this the second chapter is the addition of all the new characters that are your to control or have in your party. Very cool that you can control Magneto and a lot of his minions. Come on...who does not want to be the bad guys! The game itself is not too difficult, and the final boss is a little too easy, but there are lots of missions and the replay value of the game is great, especially if you play it online.
The only complaint I could see people making is that it is overall very similar to the first. Strange that Gamespot ranked it lower than the first chapter, but I have a feeling it is for this reason. Anyway, I loved the first, had fun, and think the second chapter is even better.
