Good game with fatal glitch
5 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
After a deeply confusing start were the brother hood and x men rescue xavier(didn't even know he'd been kidnapped )we discover apocalypse is to blame and has also kidnapped polaris ,a minor marvel character that we never really meet or care about. After that we get a training mission and fight to liberate genosha from apocalypse and so on. The bad guys, the levels and the heroes are quite varied and you'll need a varied team to do all of the puzzles (puzzles-lite) a super strength guy like colossus or rogue to move giant objects,a teleporter like deadpool or nightcrawlwer to take short cuts ,a fly guy like magneto or iron man to reach certain areas etc. the levels of aggressiveness can be altered so they (AI) don't run about claiming all your kills.This is slightly more difficult with long range attack characters like cyc, gambit or ice man. Over all the game is well done the in game graphics are the same as the first game. The cut scenes are a lot better, meaning apocalypse looks completely different from game to game. The last level and certain other temple based levels can be annoyingly long winded and certain other brilliant levels are relatively short.

The only problem with this well done game is a major glitch you'll probably find discussed in message boards all over the net. When replaying the game using old saves consoles tend to crash.It is entirely down to all the add ons you can attach to characters to boost their abilities.I rectified this by simply deleting them all and relying on gaining xp and boosting character bit by bit. I would expect this kinda glitch from a PC game but not from a dedicated gaming console.perhaps they were too eager to cash in on their success.

I still recommend buying this game the good far out weighs the bad
