Story:X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse is an action role-playing game and a sequel to X-Men Legends. The player controls a party of four characters, though only one at a time can be controlled directly. Besides switching the characters for combat purposes, the player is often obliged to do so, because some of the tasks in the game require the specific abilities of a certain mutant. For example, Iceman can put out the fire, Magneto can generate a metal bridge across a gap, etc. Most of the time, however, is spent in combat, collecting loot and acquiring experience points. Unlike the first game, items dropped by enemies are random. The character will level up, become stronger, and learn new skills. The player can opt to allocate all the experience and skill points manually.Show more

It was one of my favorite games growing up. I didn't even know much English, but I grew up watching the X-Men cartoons—both the classic '90s series and Wolverine and the X-Men. I loved how it mixed hack-and-slash gameplay with RPG mechanics. It was also the first game I had on the Xbox, which my mother and aunt bought for me. I remember playing co-op with my neighbor friend. I heard there's modding now, and I would love to buy and play this game on GOG.

I would trade all of my other votes to upvote this so much higher on the list. Ive hunted down old hardware and discs to play this over and over again. As a 90s kid the X-Men have always been my favorite corner of the Marvel Universe and this game got so much right. The game can be a bit janky at times for sure but everything else makes up for it. There are so many sweet mods too. I cant tell you how much i want to praise this game and demand another one. I could bore you and easily take up all 2000 characters, upvote this game or i just might!

Licensing hell makes this one almost impossible to bring back but so much great memories with this title. It's one of the greats and had everything a Marvel fan could have asked for in a X-Men game. Great story, great villains, a tremendous roster of playable characters, light RPG mechanics, great voice acting, bunch of extras, tons of costumes for the heroes. It's a shame how lost this game is. Introduced me to Deadpool as he was one of the playable characters and pretty much the sole reason I got into comic books. All around wonderful stuff.
