[St. Cuthbert]

Do you know when its coming out? Did the article say?

[stark's heir]

SWEET! Fall of '05. Pretty sure I saw "Death/ Angel" in there swinging his wings...

[nu tengu]

I'm all psyched out and ready for this game! Here's the official website which just opened a few days ago:

http://www.xmenlegends2.com (http://)

There are only 4 characters that have been revealed so far: Wolverine (of course), Storm, Magneto and Juggernaut!!! Check out the videos!! The game intro also borrows some scenes from X-2!

[turdburglar47]

If they got rid of Colossus to make room for Juggernaut, I doubt I'll buy it.

[The Qwardian]

ArchAngel was in there for sure.

Cant wait.

Hopefully this time they will let you play through again at your new level.

[turdburglar47]

Oh, Bishop is totally in it. I was at E3, and he was big in the big-### ad image for it.

[Heinrich]

This is looking SO awesome! They KNOW how to do super hero video games! Its great that it provides the uniforms for both the new and classic characters so that you have a choice. Not having that choice will make me probably stay away from the Ultimate Spiderman game (I hate Ultimate Electro!).
The trailor shows Mystique and Sabertooth(who looks a lot like Wolverine though!), as well as Juggernaut joining in. I see they show the bald Bishop, I wonder if the old uniform has his long hair version. Apocolypse looks coolishly evil! MAN THEY HAVE JUST GOT TO DO AN AVENGERS VERSION THIS WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO AN AVENGERS VERSION! DO AN AVENGERS VERSION! DO AN AVENGERS VERSION! DO AN AVENGERS VERSION! DO AN AVENGERS VERSION!

[Heinrich]

Holy Smoke! I just looked at the trailor in slow (pause) motion, and its got ARCHANGEL in it doing a wicked slicing wing spin against Bishop and Wolverine. Perhaps the 4 horsemen will be emphasized! This is going to be soooooo good!

[Heinrich]

Watching the XMen cartoon episode tonight, about Apocolypse capturing the psychics to stop time at the Nexus of time. It seem to be a good fit as to what we are seeing in the Legends II video game previews. Using this cartoon as a basis, you may see Mr. Sinister, The Nasty Boys, Rachel Summers, Cable, Shard, The 4 horsemen, Kane from Six Pack, Stryfe, Mesmero, Immortus, the Gamemaster, Thyphoid Mary, Domino. It opens up a lot of possibilities. All would be great!

[nofx242]

I think it was review on IGN or saw in a magazine but it did say that Apocolypse and the 4 hourseman would be villians, and savage land would be a location.

I just hope the fix the 2 bigest problems with the first

1. The AI needs to be better, too many times I had one of my own teammates running off cliffs or standing in fire.

2. The game should roll over when you are finished, that way you could play the game over with your characters at the same power level. Add on a new difficulty level, this will give the game more playablility like Baulders gate, Diablo etc...

Small update.

[turdburglar47]

Grr. No Colossus.

[The Qwardian]

Theres still a chance, but slim as it may be. I think Jugger its taking that spot.

[turdburglar47]

Which may just mean I save 50 bucks.

[The Qwardian]

Oh hush, you know you want to play anyways.

Its got ArchAngel.....

[turdburglar47]

I'm still bent out of shape that it took so long to get to Colossus in the first one. I wanted to play the WHOLE GAME with him. And I think Archangel is a bad guy.

I'm still annoyed they didn't make the game so I could completely and entirely ignore Gambit.

If they ditch Colossus, I doubt I'll buy it.

[The Qwardian]

in all honesty I dont like the idea of using wolverine for the entire freaking thing, i would rather start off as a dead cat then wolverine.

Added additional info

[Smurf's Up]

Chee hee! Mr. Sinister! His face doesn't look as demonic as I'd like to see, but it's still cool that we have him in this game. The Qwardian, I think you can add brood to the list because there was pics of them in the insect tunnels.

[Thawmus]

OMG, where to start?

I really liked X-men legends, but after beating it twice, I decided it was worth selling back to the store. Surprisingly, it had some excellent buy-back value.

Colossus was TOO cool in that game if he was used right. A lot of people didn't use him right. I shoved a ton of points into his knockbacks and his Charge, and he was a monster when I had him. My friends and I were playing Gauntlet-style, and when I did the knockback combo on a baddie, it sent him off of the screen and still into a wall. My friends initial reaction: "HOLY @#%@!!!"

And if you gave him enough screen room, his charge was scary too. I loved how my controller shook and the screen shook a little too when he used it. Not to mention what happened to the receiver of it.

Then of course, the fastball special was nice too. My friend always took Wolvie, and I kept throwing him into crates and stuff instead of just smashing them, because it was so much funnier.

Anywho, discarding Colossus would be a big no-no.
I would ditch the White Queen, Psylocke, Jubilee, and perhaps one or two others from the old game. They just really weren't all that effective in the old game, or they came too late in the game for me to care.

And if they put Rogue in this next one (which I can't see how they couldn't), they need to make her much much more useable. She was way too slow and used up way too much energy to fly.

They also need to change how they factor in Wolvie's damage. He's a killer, but he HIT harder than anyone else in the game. That's not really comic-realistic. His blades need more precision than continually jabbing them into the same spot repeatedly.


Anywho, I'm excited about this one coming out, but I think it'll be a close call between this and Nemesis for me.

[R0GUE]

Sugerman is a character from the Age of apocalypse saga. He is a hideous mutant who ran the "Seattle Core" for Apocalypse, a power plant that used mutant slaves for energy (ala the Matrix).

[The Qwardian]

Isnt he also the guy that eats people?

[R0GUE]

According to the Marvel Database his powers are:

Sugar Man is a mutant with the ability to control his mass. He can become larger or smaller based on his mass distribution. He possesses four arms and a tongue that can shoot up to ten feet. The tongue is dense enough to be used as a weapon. He also seems to have an enhanced sense of smell that allows him to smell fear.

Nothing about him eating people, but I certainly imagine he could. I read AoA but i can't recall if he ever devoured anyone.

Cyclops and Lady D have been added. Brood is now confimedI know alot of yousaid they were, however the original pictures look like normal bugs, you can clearly see the brood now and they are listed.

[R0GUE]

The latest Wizard magazine confirmed Sabretooth as a boss in a new article.

[The Qwardian]

As a boss? Really.

He is in the opening video........hmmm.

I will make the changes next update.

Thanx for the info.

[The Qwardian]

I will also add to the list a few others, Angel being playable, and some new bosses such as

Four Horsemen of Apocalypse (Archangel/Death, War, Psetilence, Famine)
Holocaust
Marrow
Sentinals

Prof X may be on the chopping block as far as playable characters. same as Beast

[R0GUE]

Yeh it might be something like Sabretooth says in the opening scernes "If the runt's in, I'm outta here!" or something to that effect. :p

Anyhow, just reporting the news.

[The Qwardian]

He could be a playable character and a villian like Angel.

[R0GUE]

I don't know if they've confirmed that any of the bosses will be "palyable" or "unlockable" have they? I know they will most likely be unlocked for the Danger Room again, but as for the gase itself, I am not sure. Still, he'd go in your "enemies" section if Wizard mag is to be trusted.

[The Qwardian]

I've been getting my info from alot of sources, so far it has all panned out, one source leaked that you will be able to use a villian(s) after you defeat them. Angel is the number one suspect right now.

[R0GUE]

That would be sweet all right! I certainly hope so. I also hope there are some unlockable NPCs who aren't villains.

[R0GUE]

Sorry to double post, but you know - no edit.

Sunfire is going to be one of the playable PCs from the start of the game! It was leaked in Playstation Magazine.

Here is an image:

Update

[FoxInStocks]

My biggest concern about this game right now is the Multiplayer part. Not the co-op, the player-vs-player. It blew chunks in the original Legends. They need to give four-player access to any of the maps and just let them go all out on each other. No small rooms, no time limits...just a huge map and infinite DEATH.

Another thing that would be nice (and add the almighty replayability factor) is to let you restart the game after you beat it with your leveled-up characters.

The roster looks good so far...hopefully they'll cut down on the useless characters like Emma and Jubilee.

Emma was occasionally useful - I liked her ability to make enemies run away and give you time to get positioned.

Jubilee, eh. And Gambit. Don't forget Gambit. Always useless, always worthless.

I would like to be able to play through again after being leveled to the max, though. But then again, I love video games where you can just kick ### and not worry too much about dying.

[The Qwardian]

Looking at some of the new screen shots it looks like the kree may be in the game.

[FoxInStocks]

Yes...I must admit, that was one thing Emma was good for. However, it didn't justify her existence in the game at all.

But Gambit useless? No way. Once you really powered up his kinetic punch thing and his staff slam, he was awesome against physical-resistant guys.

I think part of the games problem was that several of the characters weren't that good compared to someone else...and THAT was due to some characters, like Wolverine and Cyclops, being too good too early. I mean, remember that level in NYC where you meet Bishop, and fight billions of Sentinels? I beat almost the entire thing with JUST Wolverine. Everyone else died, and so I just had Wolvie hit, run, regen, and hit all the way through.

I wouldn't say Gambit is useless. I'd use him and psylocke together every chance I could. Both of their boosts to help the team out really pack a punch. For fun I'd run Colossus, Gambit, Psylocke, and Emma, Beast, Wolverine, or Rogue. That's my up in your face team. :classic:

[FoxInStocks]

The second time I played through the game, which was just to level everyone up as much as I could, I tried to use Wolvie as little as possible. It made the game a LOT more challenging.

[DarkCrisis]

One you make Storm's Lighening Attack into Legendary status the game was over.

You just had Storm walk into a room and use her Legendary Lighening. She cleared the room except for a couple guys (usually resistant to energy) and then you had a brawler (like Wolve) finish those off.

Game was easy.

The question is...who ever used Storm enough to level her up? No one in my group did. I think we used her once, declared her useless, and moved on to Jean Grey, who was fun.

Now, Colossus made things easy once you Legend-ed up his Hand-clap thing.

[Heinrich]

I found Storm when she had her Tornado powered up was so dominate that it almost became too easy. One Tornado swoosh and all enemies were reeling.

[Uknown352]

The X-men legends game was not challenging at all unless you used jubilee as your main fighter. All of the powers had very similar effects no matter who you chose. Hopefully the next game will pose more of a challenge. BTW for the sentinel level the first time I beat the game I used the same tactic with wolverine, second time around I just used nightcrawlers flurry attack with nimrods hammer.

toynewsi.com in the marvel forums. Find the topic about game there, still on the first page in the marvel forums. :classic:

Just to back myself up, I'm not saying this is true. It has just been stated elsewhere, n thought I'd bring it here. Scarlet Witch seems farfetched to me that's why... :classic:

[FoxInStocks]

I'll wait until the offical site actually updates with one of these characters so I can see if the graphic is the same.

That said: I missed Wanda on my first read through. That makes me gleefull, but also sad since Pietro is missing.

[The Qwardian]

Sunfire is officially on the list.

[Thawmus]

Dude, I love the Allies, and the enemies seem pretty fun so long as I don't have to take on 4 of them at a time :confused:

Highlights:

Magneto, Juggernaught, Colossus, Cable on allies, and Deadpool, Apocalypse, Sugarman, and Mr. Sinister for enemies. It just seems too cool.

Which is why I am skeptical this list is real............... :(

Here's another reason: IGN claims that Jubilee is in the game. Jubilee doesn't appear on this list. So, either the list is fake OR the hacker missed Jubilee. Take it for what you will.

[Smurf's Up]

deadpool (http://xmenlegends2.com/assets/character_images/deadpool.jpg)
bastion (http://xmenlegends2.com/assets/character_images/bastion.jpg)

I'm gonna back it up that these guys are in the game. Change the names of the links to people like cyclops, juggernaut, magneto, etc. n they appear just like how they do on the offical xmenlegends2 site.

[Heinrich]

I couldn't find any site to back up the list. But it would be an interesting list. I find it strange that Stryfe would be in the game without any of his team, he rarely fights alone.

[dj_sha]

DEADPOOL?!?!?!?! Holy #### in a hat, this game is gonna ROCK! Wow, he has to be the last person I'd expect to see. Too bad you can't play him as an ally as well.

Bastion? Hmm, he seems like more of a major boss guy. Odd they have him share the spotlight with Apocalypse.

[Drashia]

Up to this point I was dissapointed with no Psylocke (who else in the game is a ninja psychic?) however, Deadpool, that's just crazy

Dj_sha: he might be playable in the Danger Room much like the first game when all characters were playable

just a thought

Deadpool and Lady Deathstrike I could see as mini bosses in the Weapon X facility

[Drashia]

I hope we can play danger room with the NPCs!

Guardian - Red and white costume
Vindicator - New green and yellow (Heroclix should make this one)
White Queen - with a dress?

[Smurf's Up]

Zealot has been confirmed on the official site. :classic:

[Heinrich]

The picture of the White Queen looks like she needs to lay off eating beans.

[Drashia]

who is that [Zealot] suppose to be?

[Drashia]

Omega Red just confirmed.... sweet... but where's my HC version??

[Mattman]

Gambit is confirmed, as are Bishop, Angel, Sunfire and Colossus.

Deadpool is a boss character, and Emma Frost (sadly) has a role only as a NPC.

Not fair!!!!!! I loved her powers!!!!

[Smurf's Up]

At ign.com, under the multiplayer video, you can see toad and scarlet witch are playable characters. :classic:

[Mattman]

Wanda kicks ###!!

I don't mind losing Emma to put Wanda in.

[Heinrich]

At ign.com, under the multiplayer video, you can see toad and scarlet witch are playable characters. :classic:


Ice Man was included there, too!

[R0GUE]

At the official site they have added up Mikhail (Rasputin I wonder?), Sauron, and Ded-poo.

[DarkCrisis]

Deadpool? If you can play as Deadpool I will geek the fudge out.

[R0GUE]

Deadpool is listed as an enemy. But I heard he will probably be one of the unlockables.

Also I forgot to mention Bastion is on the enemies list.

[Kaitouace]

Deadpool is playable but you have to beat the game once to unlock him.

The other unlockables are Professor X and (get this) Iron Man.

[R0GUE]

I heard that Iron Man rumour. It seems so out of left field. If Rogue is left out, but Iron Man is an unlockable OMG I will kill someone. :P

[DarkCrisis]

I believe Rogue is one of the main characters.

I wasnt to know who are the 2 PC exclusive characters and the 4 exclusive PSP characters.

[DarkCrisis]

A real LACK of female characters does kind of suck BUT it does have Deadpool.

And the PC and PSP version have extra characters. Hopefully one will be Blink.

[R0GUE]

Yeh I'm pretty sure Rogue is in too, but its just kind of an example. Wouldn't you be peeved if your favorite X-Man were left out of an X-Man game but Iron Man was in it?

I think its cool that they include Marvel characters that aren't X-Men, but I think if they make him playable, then Emma Frost and some of the others should be unlockable as well.

[dj_sha]

You can play as Deadpool?!?!?!

####ING A!

Now I'm definately going to have to buy the game!

And Iron Man too! That's pretty sweet.

It's a bummer Psylocke's not in it, but I won't lose sleep over it. I can't believe there's actually people that are that enthusiastic about Jubilee. I never played as her in the first game because she looked horrible (and I think the character's lame too).

But Deadpool! Yay! I think I'll look forward to playing it through the second time more then the first. Anyone know who the voice actor for Deadpool is?

[R0GUE]

Jubilee is fine. I like her, but won't be too upset she didn't make it.

But there are some hardcore Psylocke fans out there. I imagine they are crying right about now.

[DarkCrisis]

There is always hope that characters like Psylocke made it into the PSP and PC "Extra characters".

As for Jubes, yea she sucked inthe 1st game but I played her anyways. Especialyl near the end game when every battle was "Storm nukes everything and then mop up".

[dj_sha]

The game came out today. Anyone gotten it yet? Thoughts? I'll have to wait a while, since right now I'm struggling to afford the Marquee and my comic book advance orders. Not to mention I'll also want the Ultimate Spider-Man video game...curse all these awesome things coming out at the same time!

[Heinrich]

I have to wait too, Dj Sha! I was looking at the web site and I have a couple of questions. Is Grizzly being a villain part of the Ultimate line or something, because he was an ally of Cable in Six Pack. I'm missing something there!
Is it just me or does everyone in this game seem to have some sort of pulse wave? Something about that doesnt' seem right.
Holocost and Sauron will be great and I will have to do some homework on Abyss. He looks like someone who would know Shadow King.

Among the Missing listed, I know Iceman is one of the missing. I believe Pheonix will fit on either the enemies or allies, but I'm not sure on that one.

Hopefully someone out there who bought the game can clue us in!

[DarkCrisis]

I have the PC version! Sabertooth and Pyro are the exclusives but they SEEM to be more or less copies of Wolvie and Sunfire.

BUT Blink is in the game!!! YEA! I hope the PSP version has Blink as playable! And she's voice by Tara Strong!

[R0GUE]

I picked it up for XBox and played into the wee hours of the morning. Its a lot fo fun. 3 allies are blanked out at the beginning. The 3 "unlockables" I guess. Although you only have 15 to begin with. There must be one mystery 16th ally which you unlock fairly early. I notice he is still blanked out on the Mutant Vault, whoever he is.

YAY! You don't have to start out as Wolverine and Cyclops!

[Heinrich]

Ok, I couldn't wait and sold the farm to get the game. Its awesome! I was estatic to find that Stryfe (Screenshots on the website) was in the game! To each his own, but he is one of my favorite villains! And considering Stryfe, Apocolypse, and Grizzly is in the game, it is my bet that Cable is the last XMan! It would make sense to me. Its like the first game showed you how to play it, and the second game throws you right into the middle of the action!

Slight Spoiler:











Grizzly was early in the game and he explained that he was a hired gun eager for a "killin Spree". That reminded me that that is why Domino (I believe it was her) had to kill him (in the comics) to keep him from killing more. Now the Villain tag makes sense!

[R0GUE]

YAY! You don't have to start out as Wolverine and Cyclops!


Well during the "tutorial level" you have to play Wolvie, Cyke, Storm, and Magneot. But its a very short level, and then you get to pick anyone to make up your team.

The 3 unlockables are Professor X, Deadpool and Iron Man (seriously).

Professor X=beat all Danger Room Missions
Deadpool=beat game
Iron Man=collect all Iron Man Armor pieces and save Tony from Apocolypse

[silent-h]

The sequel looks great. I want to collect all the AOA skins. :rolleyes: Who are the rumored unlockable characters for PC and PSP on XML 2?

[turdburglar47]

Professor X=beat all Danger Room Missions

If you can unlock Deadpool after you beat the game, can you then USE Deadpool to play the game over? Do you get to keep your leveled up characters this time?

[R0GUE]

SIGHT SPOILER

Anyone else found the "bonus combos" of characters yet? I figured out "Old School" "Brotherhood of Evil" "New X-Men" and "Double Date." These are really cool. :)

[Smurf's Up]

Well, after you beat the game you can use deadpool, so I'm gonna go ahead n say you can play him in the next run through of the game. I don't know if the characters stay leveled up or not, though. For the bonus costumes/teams, go to gamefaqs.com for a list of the bonus teams. :classic:

[turdburglar47]

I didn't find out about that until they just shoved me a New X-Men set into the Danger Room, and I wasn't sure what that meant.

I think I messed up in unlocking Avenger Boy, though, as I didn't get all the parts on the first board, cuz I didn't know what I was doing. I wonder if I'm screwed on that one.

Although once I get Deadpool, I'm totally playing through it again using him ALL THE TIME, so maybe I'll get a second chance.

[Drashia]

Deadpool is pretty darn funny as a character, almost at lv 40 with him

Ironman's pretty sweet too, a good alternative for Rogue

there's Age of Apocolypse as bonus

the full list is available on gamespot

Happy gaming

you can access all the previous areas you have completed. just use the x-traction site, and go to whatever act u missed the beacons

[R0GUE]

How is Bishop a "New Avenger"? Is it because they think he looks like Luke Cage. :p

[venarnage]

Ok guys. I picked up the game like 2 days ago, and I'm a good ways through it. I'm in The Core, and there is this giant machine that has the blue X symbol ontop of it. I try to use my mutant powers or super strength to do something with it, but nothing seems to phase it. I've tried every character, or so I've thought. Is there just something I'm missing, or do I need to go on and complete another section to unlock something about this mystery machine? Can anyone help me?

p.s. THIS GAME IS FREAKIN SWEET!

I just got the game as well.

In regards to the blue x items:

I've found that if you either can't access it, move it by telekinesis/superstrength, or turn it on, then destroy it.

Usually this will either complete a prerequisite to open up another area previously unavailable or complete a task.

[doctor_x]

Some of you guys said previously in this topic a few pages back that Gambit was useless??? :confused:

WTF are U guys smoking!? lol

I totally trashed the first Legends game with Gambit.
I had it where he could drop Sentinels in just a few attacks. He had a hard time against the Sentinel Platforms though-but didn't every character? lol

He's one of the best well rounded characters in the game. He has ranged attacks, melee extroidanaire, and he can kinetcially boost his teammates speed and defenses up.




Onward....(MINOR spoilers):

I just got XmenII a few days ago and I am waiting to fully explore the game when my kiddos come over tonight as they will be pissed that I started it without them but can U blame me? Well yeah but I'm a X-Men fanatic...

I have played through most of the first level. I have not gotten to Abyss yet who is the first boss.

Noticable changes from the first game and this one:

Beast is just a storefront now.
You buy things from both he and Forge.
I didn't like Beast that much in the first game anyways.

Angel is first off a support/non playable character-then becomes an enemy.


Yes the 4 Horsemen are in the game.

The game has AoA characters like Mikhail and Abyss. Oh and Blink.

Blink is a non playable character though that gives you access to her 'ports at anytime, anywhere in the game after you find her. She's in the first level.

The blue X's/savepoints are now able to take you to any other X in the game. makes travelling much easier. They work the same as Blinks 'portals.

Now the BIGGIE: GAMEPLAY.

I noticed that this game has had an upward powercurve.

My level 4 characters were taking out the first level enemies with like one or 2(at the most)single blows. Even the Brood dropped fast. Iceman's icebeam does major damage now.

Most of the characters appear for use in the first level. So you Colossus fans that hated the fact you had to wait for him halfway through the first game(same as with Psylocke-GrrrRRR!)will rejoice! Only 3 characters remain unlocked or for you to find.

I hope one is Mystique-but I doubt it as she's already talking trash to the Xmen in the first level by Magneto, then she's standing sidelined by Sanctuary. Bummer. :disappoin

But the bosses are the challenge.
I got to subboss Zealot and he took a huge beating from my combos and he still was standing. They make you chase them around too. I did fight subboss Grissley as well before reaching Zealot. He was a bit easier than Zealot as he was a minor boss. But Magneto, Wolvie, Gambit, and Iceman combo'ed him out easily.
Magneto is just plain MEAN...

Storm no longer has leadership-they gave that to Magneto and Cyclops.

My characters levelled up INSANELY fast using both Mags and Cyks with their leadership both up to level 3.
My combos were netting just under a 1000 experience points with both guys on the same team.
JOY!!!
Iceman is one of the main bridgebuilders, and you will have to have a bridgebuilder in the first level. I'm sure Jean Grey is one too, but I haven't checked her out yet. Something about that just sounds WRONG. :rolleyes:

All the mutant abilties can be unlocked quickly. Some require a certain character level and some just require the initial prerequisite power to unlock it's next level up simultaneously.

This is part of why the power curve amped up.

I am wondering if the game is only going to be fun/playable on hard setting?

I hate it when a game is TOO easy to beat.

There are tons of powerups and gear everywhere.
The gear, belts etc are all different from the first game and add differing abilities. All have different names.
There are also power up stations along the way that let one charcter touch them and take whatever it is they add to the fightingers' stats.

But so far I am impressed and stoked.

I can't wait to engage Deadpool, Omega Red, ArchAngel, etc.

Oh, and all the AoA costumes are available. Magneto with a ponytail!!! yeah!!!

I love, love, LOVE the AoA tie in with this game like Sugarman etc.
He's one of the most sick n twisted villians ever created.

That alone sold me on it as I think AoA was/is the best ever Xmen story to date.

Also I am glad that Emma Frost is not a playable character in XmenII. She was a great melee fighter in the first, but Psylocke was much more fun and a better fighter IMO.
Too bad Psylocke's not in the sequal(???), but I can forgive that offense as there are some great characters to keep me interested.
I'm not sure who the final unlockable character will be as it's still not up on the official website yet.

And of course-my boy Gambit!!! I am already playing the game as him and he can definately hold his own.

Jubilee BTW-was great in the first one. She held her own easily if you knew how to play her.


Begin rant now:

I have ONE beef though with XmenII.

WTF did they give the PS2 and PC versions EXTRA characters to play as but not the Xbox!!!???

That is just SO wRonG....lol


/rant.


lol

[doctor_x]

My kiddos and I got to play through the game a bit now.

We defeated Abyss. He was so kewl looking and very true to his AoA persona during our battle.

We found that there are some very powerful team boosting abilities some characters have-especially Bishop.

With Bishop on our team we trashed Omega Red in one megacombo hit from Bishop, Mags, Gambit, and Nightcrawler.

So far the hardest boss to beat has been Sugarman, but again with Bishop, we wailed him into submission.

We are now in the Madri Temple.

LadyDeathstrike was harder to beat than the other subbosses so far that we fought.

She turns green for some reason while fighting her and she is very fast.

As you beat some bosses and regular enemy characters-they appear in the dangeroom for you to use the same as in the first Legends game.

[Rando]

I picked this game up a few days ago and I'm most of the way through Act4. I'm a big fan of how they altered the characters to make them significantly more different this time around, as well as giving you access to a limiltess amount of skill points so you can't screw yourself into a corner. Sadly the difficulty hasn't been increased much. I'm also glad that after you beat the game the first time you can ply again with all your levels and equipment in hard (where the enemies apparently start at level 50).

What teams/characters is everyone haveing success with? I'm greatly enjoying Jean Grey, Juggernaut, Sunfire, and Scarlet Witch.

[R0GUE]

My best team so far is Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Rogue, and Sunfire. Though I also enjoy my Storm, Toad, Scarlet Witch, Colossus team.

[doctor_x]

The Madri are more of a challenge than the rest of the enemies I've faced so far.
They are very well organized and fight pretty tough when in a group. And they are backed up by some type of giants at times...

I have been taking on the Madri quite easily though with this team all in AoA costumes:

Gambit, Mags, Cyks, Toad.

G&C are at level 30, Mags is at 29, and Toad is at 25.

I have Toads defense up insanely high from all the gear etc, and Mags leadership is almost maxed out.

Gambits Mutant mastery is almost maxed out as well.

He regens energy really fast to support his card and staff attacks.

I throw him into groups and staffslam them to death with a hp regen item on his belt.
It gives him a little hp everytime he kills a foe............eViL!


I haven't figured out yet if the enemies are weaker or if the heroes got stronger in LegendsII.

I think it's a little of both with a tad more leaning towards the mutant abilty side.

[Ultimate2099]

My favorites are:

Magneto, Cyclops, Bishop and Sunfire. These guys are bad ### together. And now that I have the AoA skins they get the 100% attack bonus too.

[DarkCrisis]

Wolvie is just plain broke. Especialyl since I found some gloves that negates his foes DEF value.

[coad14]

i used wolverine, jean grey, iceman, and nightcrawler the whole game. amazing combo.

i really liked jeans new ability to rez downed charecters. made it a lot easier than going back to a x-traction point if u lost someone.


i am going to go redo the game now, but use different guys for a challenge. thinking maybe a brotherhood team, Mags, juggernaut, deadpool, and scarlett witch

[Heinrich]

I am about in the middle of the game right now (just finished the factory with Guardian), and Storm is the first of my figures to reach the 20 level mark. Its an exciting thought that with all of these characters, each one can become so killer at this level. For some reason, its always Storm for me. I think its because she is the only one I know that can clobber people without going into the room. And when I use Juggernaut as her offensive line to keep villains off of her, there doesn't seem to be anyone she can't smash with that lightning bolt of hers. But her gaining in powers make me want to see what the others can do. The action is fast and great and I love it.

[Rando]

Man, Juggernaut is amazeing, his Crimson Rage attack makes his damage temporarily stack up exponentially, by the end of the game I killed every boss by just walking up to them and then unloading all my energy in rage attacks (and my juggs only had like 35 focus) they went down in literally seconds.

by the way here is a link that will has a list of every hidden thing in the game, so if your really wanna find something here ya go:
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=927390&topic=23727049&page=1

[Mattman]

I'm about to enter the Pantheon of Apoc, and Wanda is doin' it for me.

She's at level 39 and is currently my most advanced character. Reality Shift kicks all sorts of butt. Wolverine is great too, way better than before. And Jean is still Jean. Juggs is great. The penalties from Widowmaker are practically ignorable.

[DarkCrisis]

I ditched Wanda. She's to weak.

I tired out her solo Danger-room mission.

She blew.

Now, Iceman. He kicks butt.

[venarnage]

Yeah. I mean, I've played the first one numerous times, and I'm pretty far into this one. I know what the blue X's do, but I cant seem to get this one to activate. I'm running Magneto, Juggs, Wolvie, and Scarlet Witch in my team, and I've tried the tk, and pushing it, but nothing has happened, and I cant seem to access it at all. I just dont know...

[Smurf's Up]

Beat the game for the first time in 28:16. Got me all the characters now. professor x was a pain to get, so he better be worth it. My final team consisted of scarlet witch, cyclops, magneto, n juggernaut. Magneto being my all-star member of the team. I was surprised at how good scarlet witch got, but this is at level 30+ when she shows her usefulness.
For the witch, have the powers heal, combustion, n her power that makes enemies take damage back onto themselves. For the legend danger room missions, her power to make the enemies take damage back was what got me through them. :classic:

[Drashia]

Fyi - looks like a recurring theme, the game seems to crash once beyond level 45 on both systems

Post here if it does thanks

(crashed on me and the game is now unplayable)

[turdburglar47]

I like the Scarlet Witch. She and Colossus have been on all my teams - especially after Mystique, I think, made the comment that Wanda's been drooling over him.

She can turn enemies into crates... and when I fought the Sugar Man, he somehow immediately killed everybody but Wanda, and she was able to finish him off by her lonesome. She's got my vote.

Anyone else have Colossus dying on them FAR too easily all the time? It's driving me nuts, how often he's gotta go through health potions.

[Heinrich]

I was trying to use all characters by using the 4 characters with the lowest levels to start each level. Some would get damaged quicker than others and I would retreat and get the next 4. But now I am in the Madri Temple, and after slicing through my bottom 4 like butter, I have had to resort to my bigger guns. Storm at level 23, Nightcrawler to get into places nobody else can and escape to the extraction mark when needed, Iceman to make bridges and freeze multiple opponents, and for the last usually Juggernaut, but it could be Bishop, Magneto, or Colossus depending on what was needed. Bishop for range and strength, Magneto as a Jack of all powers, Juggernaut as Super Muscle, and Colossus when I think he can handle it. Like somebody noticed, Wolverine has been almost non existent.

[Drashia]

My team was mainly the Brotherhood. +15% xp is hard to pass up.

I've used Wolvie just to get various conversations with the NPCs.

Fave team by far

Deadpool - all round brawler, guns and swords
IronMan - Flying superstrength is a must
Juggs - All round tank
Phoenix - Psychic and telekenisis rules

[R0GUE]

About Colossus dying easily. I almost always pump up his Body when he levels and going into a fight I always use his steel skin power. So he has never died on me.

My favorite battle so far has been against Sugar Man. I played as Toad and we had a battle of the tongues! LOL

[Maniac_nmt]

My favorite group so far is: Cyclops, Wolverine, Colossus, and Jean (I had been using Magneto, but swapped out for Jean).

Cyclops, once he gets his irradiated beam deal is pretty brutal. I wasted Omega Red and Mikhail without even trying with it (and I mean flat wasted them).

I don't know why, but Juggernaut just doesn't work for me. He's always getting the snot kicked out of him (maybe it's his no defensive powers thing, which totally blows my mind for juggernaut). Colossus always lasts and lasts and lasts with his various passive def buffs.

I know Ironman, Xavier, and Deadpool are unlockable, who else can you pick up?

Also, is there anyway to get Ironman or Deadpool onto the team sans beating the game and collecting all of IM's armor?

[turdburglar47]

I don't think there are any cheats to unlock them, no. But thainkfully, you can go back and grab what you missed later, which is good for me attempting to get Iron Man.

Is there some sort of trick to making power combos happen? I can't for the life of me pass any of the Danger Room things that involve making 10 power combos happen, because it seems so random. The closest I came was getting Colossus to toss dudes at his teammates, but the accuracy on those throws isn't what it should be.

Still not to Deadpool. Just whipped Bastion's ### though.

Colossus, Magneto, Wolverine and Scarlet Witch are my main four. If Rogue had her Australian era outfit, I'd stick Rogue and Storm on it and have the Outback Days with Colossus and Woofie. I love the Siberian Express. I love the Metal Minion.

[Drashia]

Power combos are pretty difficult i find.

I did manage to pass them and here's how...

Combo with little maggots, I had Iceman, Jean, Scarlet and used Sunfire....
All I did was time Jean's Psychic Scream/Dark Phoenix with my Lava Post and voila (spam the call for help button as well). Would have worked well with Storm of Cyclops.

Combo vs humanoids in cage area, I had Juggs, Colossus, Deadpool and Toad. In this case it was a bit easier since my "power" combos consisted of Batter Up..

If someone's interested in playing online some time, drop me a line

[Maniac_nmt]

An incredibly easy way to score combos:

Use one character who can throw human sized opponents. Grab your foes, and throw them back at your fellow mutants. They will punch/kick/power them and you can rack combos up.

I'm in New York right now, and using Colossus or Juggernaut to throw the infinites/etc back to my crew.

With Cyclops and Magneto on the team, both with several points in leadership you can make a fair ammount extra in combos.

[doctor_x]

Yeah. I mean, I've played the first one numerous times, and I'm pretty far into this one. I know what the blue X's do, but I cant seem to get this one to activate.

Ok, I think I know the problem you're having if you haven't figured it out yet.

I got to the same machine and had some trouble. Is it just one the other side of a bridge?

I have found that you need certain Brotherhood characters on your team at times and certain Xmen as well to complete some levels.

Usually it's Magneto(flyer, bridgebuilder, and he triggers switches from a distance, etc) for the Brotherhood, and Nightcrawler(teleporter) for the Xmen.

I got past your machine using Magneto.

No other character was able to access this one for some reason.

I think it's the co-op story line why we need certain Brotherhood and Xmen at times.


Good luck.

I scored a major combo on Omega Red.

It was a mega powercombo or something and I got thousands of ex points.

I did it with Bishop and his Xpower move that enhances all ex power moves and doesn't use any characters ex up.

Bishops team was: Mags, Cyks, and Gambit(my boy!).

We hit Omega Red all at the same time with Bishop in his superpower move-can't recall it's name right now.

Omega Red dropped in one hit bro.

One hit!

He never even got his tentacles whipped out or anything.

I played it over once just to give the poor slob a chance.

He managed to get one or 2 hits in the second time.

lol

[Heinrich]

A thing I love to do in this game is to play king of the hill with Jean Grey in New York on the Railway platform. I fly up there and knock all enemies back down the stairs with her TK. I can also knock them down in the subway holes then pummel them with Storms lightning bolts. And Along the same lines are using Colossus with a powered up uppercut and backing up enemies to high railings, then slugging them Street Fighter style high and over the railing and watching them drop. This was especially great to do in the tower! ITS A REAL HOOT!

Spoiler






I think he is right. For this game they are asking for specific characters to use the blue X. For the Machine on the other side of the bridge, I found Rouge sapped its power with no problem. I may of had her flying, I can't remember. But I had to go back and get her because she was the only one that I knew specialized in draining power.

[JKLantern]

Sometimes you need Storm to short things out.

[dj_sha]

I'm just waiting to see what turdburglar thinks of Deadpool. Hopefully I'll be getting the game tomorrow or Friday (four day weekend=lots of video game time!).

[turdburglar47]

I've had little time to play it. I just kicked Stryfe's sorry butt last night. Still no Deadpool yet. Stupid DAY JOB taking up my time! ;)

[Heinrich]

Tick, Tick, Tick, he ought to be hitting Deadpool right about ---------------NOW!

[turdburglar47]

So, I finally got to Deadpool.

His voice is kinda lame, but not as lame as I feared. Same with his dialog.

He was actually harder to beat than Stryfe, which I think is great.

Then, of course, my PS2 froze up before I got to save again, so I'll have to whip Wade's ###. I FELT BAD FIGHTING DEADPOOL. I WANTED TO LET HIM BEAT ME.

I can't wait to unlock him.

[JKLantern]

Okay, I have one serious beef with the game.

Y'know how you unlock multiple skins for characters?

WHY ISN'T THERE A XORN SKIN FOR MAGS?


(Of course, now you're going to tell me there is one and I'm going to feel really dumb. And then I'll want you dead. Really dead. So dead that you reincarnate as a corpse. ;) )

[Aeturnus]

I just won this game. Magneto...is cool.


OH YEAH. *Kool aid*

[turdburglar47]

Okay, I've unlocked Deadpool now. I also love being able to keep the leveled-up stuff in a new game. Wolverine kills goons in one slash now. Not that I'm playing him anymore with DEADPOOL.

I haven't gotten to play him too much yet, though. I like his crazy laugh for the wisecrack power, and his Nitrogen bomb move looks awesome.

Does Rogue only ever get three skins?

[dj_sha]

How do you unlock or access the characters' different skins?

[Heinrich]

When you go to the change character screen, choose a character and press L2, I think it is. It is noted on the task bar at the bottom when it is availiable. Most you don't get until later in the game.

[dj_sha]

Quick question: I accidentally didn't defuse the two bombs in the Seawall area, and also didn't destroy the last mooring. Will this affect me later in the game (as in not being able to get Deadpool, since that's my main goal)?

[Heinrich]

I can't say it will actually stop you later in the game. But I am at a point in the last level (level 5) that everything I have tried hasn't worked, and I think its because of some things I hadn't accomplished earlier in the game, so I am now going back and finding all the beacons, and such. Only time will tell if that is what I am missing.

[Aeturnus]

My Team (keep in mind that I'm only at the Nuwali Gateway:
1) Nightcrawler - level 20
2) Magneto - level 21
3) Cyclops - level 21
4) Wolverine - level 21

Are these good levels for that stage?

[Heinrich]

It seems to me after my first character (Storm) got past 20, she began to get progressively more powerful, and the gear she wore began to make more of a difference and even more fun was that the abilities began to unlock more and more at a quicker rate. I did think Colossus was going to be lame until he started going up in his 20's, and now with that Thunderclap of his and his uppercut, he has become almost dominant. So I look forward to seeing what all characters can do as the reach higher levels. It is as if they become different characters because of the difference. I'm sure your team will do quite well. But be prepared to change when the game provides a task for a limited list of Xmen.

Two words for Colossus: "Siberian Express."

[doctor_x]

Two words for Colossus: "Siberian Express."


I agree.

I like how both Colossus and Rogue have been improved from the first game.

I have one beef though-WHY DID PS2 GET CABLE AND NOT XBOX!?!

I would have loved to have teamed up Cable, Deadpool, Bishop, and Gambit for the second go round.

Oh well.

I'd rather have Cable than Prof X again.

Even more so than Iron Man although I have not gotten his armor yet.
I would have liked to have had maybe either Havok, Mystique or Sabretooth in Iron Man's place.

Maybe this is a preview of an Avengers game along the same formula as Xmen Legends?
I'd be into that for sure.



After I beat this game and get Deadpool, I am going to play it on hard level as the AoA damage boost to the characters is just plain broken after they all reach level 25.

Deadpool only lasted about 5 seconds when I beat the snot out of him with Nightcrawler, Juggernaut, Colosuss, and Gambit. Gambit is the only one who does not kill everything now in like one hit.

When I put all of them into AoA costumes, their attacks are around 1000 each, and their defenses are insanely high.

After getting Colosuss his special enhancement(regenerative armor?) from his danger room program, he can literally stand in place and get beat on and his health bar barely goes down!

It's sick I tell ya.

I felt so bad for the game, I toned it down some by using some of the characters that were not as high in experience.

I used Magneto(for leadership mostly) along with Storm, Rogue, and at first Scarlet Witch but changed her out for Gambit again. I got tired of her turning enemies into wooden boxes. lol

With the gals and Mags all in AoA costumes, they were still trashing opponants with ease.

I just got to ArchAngel.

So far this is the wyldyst part of the whole game with that teleporter beam running amok.

[turdburglar47]

I don't think the PS2 got Cable. the PSP thing that I don't know what it is? Maybe.

Then again, I can't figure out how to do 10 combos, so there's no way I'm ever beating all the Danger Room missions to unlock whoever's in the last PS2 slot.

[Heinrich]

I had the same problem with the first game as well. It seemed no matter how many times I punched the buttons in the proper succession, I couldn't beat the danger room challenge, and the same for a few on this game.

I think you are right about Cable on the PSP, but my hopes were up there for just a minute. But now that I think about it, I think I heard what you had said.

As for Archangel, Yeah, that fight was one of the coolest!

I'm using Scarlet Witch and Rogue both as medics a la heroclix, but it seems to eventually cause a freeze/lock up on the game.

Combos are best done with Magneto, and some bricks with might.

Magnetos little magnetic spin sucks in enemies and lets your bricks score combos when you release the button and fling the peons.

That or grab foes with X (on xbox, dunno on PS2) and throw them at your fellow team-mates.

You will rack up the combos quickly.

I've come to the conclusion that a powered up Magneto is totally borken. He eventually gets an ability which not only increases his armor rating, but also reduces the damage he takes. Toss in flight, leadership, mutant master, and levitation, bridge building, along with some slow/freeze attacks at range....borken.....borken....oh yeah, and borken....

[Dalandow]

Cable and X-Man are 2 confirmed characters out 4 for the PSP version.

Are you talking about the part in the temple with the 4 Statues? I have tried every power and combo that I can think of to do this. (To the point of spending tech bits to redistribute my skills to beef up powers and then rearrange them to try others.) And I can't seem to mave the dang thing!
Anyone know how to do this?
Oh by the way, Heavy Metal? Best Team Ever. +10 to all traits is all it takes. :cool: Although I am wishing that I made Iron Man into a Close Combat character. One of his defensive buffs is just sick for CC.

When moving the sun dial, only one of the statues can be destroyed at a time, and then a new one comes up to be destroyed. All the rest are invulnerable untill they get selected in turn.

I don't know if the selection is random or not, but the first one for me was on the far right side of the chasm.

Ok Thanks a lot! I haven't played in like 5 days because I got so tired of trying to make this work.

[Heinrich]

To tell the truth, too many nights falling asleep and letting my hours played run up has killed me. Refering back to a previous Wolverine game, I guess you can say Elsie Dee came for me after the 75th hour. The game wouldn't let me play without it freezing up after 75 hours, so I had to delete my progress up to that 5th level and go back to another saved game way back in the middle. At least I didn't have to completely start over. This time, Storm, Colossus, Rogue and whoever I may need to fill the fourth for the rest of the way, and not as much brousing around smashing useless stuff.

[Rando]

To beat the combo challenge from Sophmore and above just grab enemies and throw them into your team, the "Batter Up" combo counts for your total, it may take a few tries if you are killing your enemies really quick. In Freshmen take Bishop and as many area effect/multi-hit characters you can find (I prefer Nightcrawler, Storm, and someone else) tie Nighcrawler's multi-teleport and Storms hailstorm to the call for help button. Play as Bishop and use his Superconductor Extreme move constantly then unload as many area attacks as possible while pushing the call for help button constantly, eventually you will brute force your way to success. The "whoever" that is in the last slot is Professor X.

[Heinrich]

Thanks Rando!

[doctor_x]

I finally beat the game and got Deadpool.
He teleports!!!

Plus listening to him during gameplay is an experience. lol

"Everybody!!! Shield me with your bodies!"


Did anyone else have gamefreeze problems while fighting Apocalypse?
I sure did.


Here are some new character combos I found:


Deadpool
Gambit
Bishop
Nightcrawler

=Special Ops(I've been using this team and they are BRUTAL)+5% damage

Gambit and Deadpool do alot of combos together.


Storm
Wolvie
Nightcrawler
Colosuss

= New X Men


Magneto
Scarlet Witch
Toad
Juggernaut

=Brotherhood of Evil

[Heinrich]

I am having freeze problems constantly. I don't know what it is. It could be too many things on my memory card.

[Heinrich]

I am having freeze problems constantly. I don't know what it is. It could be too many things on my memory card. I can't even complete the game.

[Smurf's Up]

I am having freeze problems constantly. I don't know what it is. It could be too many things on my memory card. I can't even complete the game.

Same here. I beat the game once, n now I can't complete it on hard. I made 3 new games already, they all keep freezing. My game musta froze 14+ times. Everytime it freezes, I restart, n juggernaut is the load screen. Maybe it's just a coincidence that the juggernaut screen is there everytime, but just saying... :classic:

[doctor_x]

I tried a few things to help alleviate the freeze up problem.

First off, I got rid of as much gear and stuff in my hero stash by either selling it off to Forge or dropping it. Then I made sure it was never maxed out.

Then I kept all of my characters that weren't being used in regular play levelled up.

The first few times the game froze up on me, it was about midway through the Core I believe. I shut the console off right after it happened and let the unit cool down.

I noticed it froze up usually after long sessions of play.

But during the battle with Apocalypse, it froze up without the unit being on for hours.

That's when I sold off my excess gear to Forge.

Then I was persistant.


If the game froze up-I kept rebooting it and eventually got past the freeze up problem.

I do not know what causes it-but I suspect it was something in the memmory like already mentioned combined with extended playtime.

It took me about 4-6 tries to get past Apocalypse this way.



I found another weird memmory glitch early in the game.

I ended up with 2 of the same special gear belts specifically for Scarlet Witch.
I don't know how.
I think it was the one that appears in that little side/underground tunnel section that merely links 2 hallways early in the Madri Temple.

The game would not let me equip her with one of them until I got rid of the one that was in my hero stash.

In fact, I was not even able to see it listed on Scarlet Witch's belt inventory screen, but it would appear on all the other characters screens.

I could see it on Rogues, but not on Scarlet's.



Weird huh?

[Uknown352]

Could someone tell me where the last homing beacon is in act 5? I keep searching for it but I cannot seem to find it.

[Heinrich]

Spoiler

After finally getting a new memory card and restarting, I finally beat the game! Adding Iron Man to fight with the mutants is cool! If only they would of let you play with the Beast and Quicksilver so that you could of done an Avengers team! Now as to the last beacon in level 5, I don't know which one you are talking about, but one I found was in the corner of a somewhat small room in the Labyrinth, I believe. I only remember that its shade of green had it blend in and I almost didn't see it among the debris of the broken wall. I don't remember the others well except to say that they all seem to been found in hindsight and by stumbling accidently on to them. But they were all found soon enough before Tony Stark could be rescued so that Iron Man could help against Apocolypse.

[Uknown352]

I found it like a week ago it was in a room were I had to hit a switch to get it. I am almost done with hard mode now.

[Thawmus]

Has anyone here played this on Xbox live?

I can't seem to find any games, and my upload speed isn't good enough to be a host. :(

[Thawmus]

So, I finally got to Deadpool.

His voice is kinda lame, but not as lame as I feared. Same with his dialog.

He was actually harder to beat than Stryfe, which I think is great.

Then, of course, my PS2 froze up before I got to save again, so I'll have to whip Wade's ###. I FELT BAD FIGHTING DEADPOOL. I WANTED TO LET HIM BEAT ME.

I can't wait to unlock him.

Yeah, I don't know anything about Deadpool, so forgive my ignorance: Is he like this in the comics at all? I mean, I thought he was funny as a boss, but then he's always making stupid (yet funny) jokes.

[Heinrich]

I am not an expert on Deadpool, but he has his own comic and has become very popular. He is from Wolverines Weapon X program.

[R0GUE]

The cmic Heinrich is referring to is Cable and Deadpool, which is awesome. Check it out.

[RaptorM79]

If anyone dosn't know there is another team, the new avengers:

IronMan
Scarlet witch
Bishop
Wolverine

Its like 15% health or something

[Thawmus]

If anyone dosn't know there is another team, the new avengers:

yep.

There's like a lot to choose from. Gamefaqs has a complete list of them.

I FINALLY unlocked Professor X tonight (got the game last friday), so now I can join other people's games and just be like "Yeah, I'm professor X.......what now?"

But in all seriousness, Iron Man is my favorite character in that game. I love giving him that animation boost, it makes him into such a kickass machine. Couple it with some hella energy regeneration and Repulsors, and he's just rapid-fire delight!

[dj_sha]

Has anyone tried online mode yet? I tried it once a little late at night and literally no one was on. I'm hesitant to go back again. Anyone have any luck with it?

[dj_sha]

By online, I mean the PS2 version online.

[Thawmus]

I play on Xbox live a lot. I'm usually searching for games like every 10 seconds, though, for the same reason. And nobody is patient enough to get a full party. The ONE time I got the other two guys to be patient enough to get 4 people, we had a blast, but that's probably one of the biggest reasons why "nobody is playing". Nobody is patient enough to leave a game up for more than 10 seconds.

[DTM]

I don't know why, but Juggernaut just doesn't work for me. He's always getting the snot kicked out of him (maybe it's his no defensive powers thing, which totally blows my mind for juggernaut). Colossus always lasts and lasts and lasts with his various passive def buffs


Wait, what? One of the most durable characters in all of comics doesnt have any of the Colossus/Rogue ultra Skin Armor powers? Youre kidding me!

Still waiting for this game to arrive here in New Zealand, and with Colossus one of my favorites in the first game (LOVE that Knockback), I was itching to try Juggernaut now. But hes got no defensive armor build up powers at all? None??

Also, whats the verdict on playing your powered up characters the second time around in this game, can it be done? Didnt find much replay value AT ALL in the first one (though is someone knows some please feel free to tell me).

[Thawmus]

Since someone else brought this team to light....

There is a passive skill called "balanced form", which is easily one of my favorite passives in the game. It boosts Juggs defense, and his attack speed. It takes a while before you are able to put points into it, but if you're looking for a power that will boost his defense, that one is easily better than the ones Colossus and Rogue get.

A Side-note: Colossus is practically invincible with 5 or 6 points in steel skin. Needing only to activate it every time he goes into another room, I have taken his fellow team members out from time to time, for boss battles.

I haven't been following the X-men for awhile, but can someone tell me what the weird spiky type skins are that colossus and nightcrawler are wearing?

[Heinrich]

Somebody correct me if I am wrong because I haven't read the story, but I believe those are looks from the "Age of Apocolypse".

[Mieir Link]

Thanks for the response but its not those ones that I mean, I read AoA so I'm familiar with those skins (always loved AoA sunfire) but there are two that (as far as I know only colossus and Nightcrawler have, they are after the AoA skins. Its those ones that I have no idea where they originate

I know what you mean. Wolvie and Cyke have them too, though the spikes are hard to spot.








I got a friend to play this with me the other day, and he and I went through the whole campaign together. He got a kick out of using Colossus, and I helped him progress through his skills so that he was able to do the Siberian Express in almost every encounter. He loved using the skin with the helmet and going "Wanna ride the train, #####??" :p

[SaferSephiroth]

BUT Blink is in the game!!! YEA! I hope the PSP version has Blink as playable! And she's voice by Tara Strong!

[spiderman9797]

I have to ask, is Proffessor X any good?

[doctor_x]

Yeah, when powered and leveled up, Prof X gets real mean damage wise.

Equip his belts, etc up right and he's almost unbeatable.

It's not untill very late in the game that you can start using his buff to defense (found it very late in the game, and by that time it wasn't that snazy as he wasn't that powered up).

I went through the second time with my powered up characters, and here Juggernaut finally started to shine, but still pales in comparison to Colossus. I enjoyed it as some characters don't open up untill late game, and I finally had the points to trick out others (ie Scarlet Witch was actually fun with her move that turns things into crates cranked up).

Colossus plus his special amor, plus a few of his powers makes him all but invincible in game (it doesn't hurt that one of his X powers makes him completely immune to damage for a time). It was hard NOT to use him on my teams.

Iron Man is one of the most powerful characters in the game. His motion amplify makes him pretty broken. Dump your points into this and watch him clobber things FAST.
