Anyone playing X-men Legends II?

I know you are.

My copy is coming today. I can't wait - the first one was lots-o-fun.

Thoughts? Impressions?

Just started playing today - Xbox version. Just as fun as the original. Still getting used to the X-men/Brotherhood team-up as far as combos go. It's kinda weird having a huge roster available from the start. I like the level design so far and know that they'll be upping the difficulty as it goes along.

Again, highly recommended for X-men/hack-n-slash/dungeon crawler fans.

I'm still playing the first one, though I just got it. Probably wait till it drops in price a bit, as I have other things to play with once I finish the origional.

I like the game but collosus and jugernaut suck, and our poorly designed. Collosus gets a temp invuln power but jugernaut has weak ass defenses. He's the firkin jugheadnaut he should have a strong passive damage resist vs everything(he's got a minor damage resist/attack passive which sucks) and a temp invuln power. Otherwise the characters are fairly cool, and the game is fun to play.

I haven't been playing with the Brothood characters at all because I see this as a heroic type game and so, just personally, I prefer the Xmen characters.

I also shy away from the tank characters just because their skills aren't as flashy

But I've been having great fun using sunfire, storm, nightcrawler, iceman, gambit, cyclops, and jean grey

I think lots of the powers are fun to use and much more customizable than the first game. I haven't tried many of the 'trap' type nor boost type skills yet just because I never get around to actually using them...



I have had an issue where I am MISSING out on a couple key areas of levels because I happened to walk past that area (thinking i'd go left instead of right and the left passage took me to the next map, etc) so I have had to Xtract myself back a couple times to find areas I missed two acts ago, for instance.

Some of the bad guys and references are a bit esoteric for me... but, none the less, it's been a fun game for me so far

My sutie mate at school rented it and we've been playing through it. We have a nasty team consisting of Juggernaut, Colossus, Wolverine, and a rotating cast of ranged support characters. As soon as we see any enemy the big guys throw Wolvie at them and then we procede to dish out a massive three man beat down.
