Switching characters is done via the controller's directional pad. As in the first game, players traverse levels in a group of four mutants, although you only have direct control of one character at a time. The two teams are then forced to work together to free Picard - I mean, Professor X - before turning to the bigger problem of how to stop the rampaging Apocalypse.Īfter an excellent opening cutscene, players are thrown straight into the action. At the beginning of X-Men Legends II, Apocalypse has kidnapped X-Men leader Professor X (once again voiced by Patrick Stewart) and has laid waste to Genosha, Brotherhood leader Magneto's island base. The impetus behind the X-Men joining forces with the Brotherhood of Mutants is Apocalypse, the near indestructible ultra-bad mutie who has once again hatched a plot for global domination (insert evil laugh here). There are few notable additions to gameplay, meaning veterans to the series will feel like they're playing the first game all over again, albeit with different characters and settings. This game is as chaotic, as addictive and as much fun to play as the first X-Men Legends, but it doesn't go much further than that. That's not to say, however, that the actual gameplay in X-Men Legends II pales in comparison to the storyline.
