Professor X and Magneto from the Marvel comics are enemies, but when the super-evil Apocalypse shows up, they have to join forces to battle him or it's all over. X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse puts you in control of both the good guy X-Men and the bad guy Brotherhood teams on the Gamecube, PC, Playstation 2 and Xbox. Here's our review of the mutant mayhem!

X-Men Legends II - Heroes, Villains and Action!

From Wolverine to Nightcrawler and more, this game is packed with mutants. When you battle, you build a team of four mutants and control one at a time while the computer controls the rest. You use their skills to whallop enemies, solve puzzles and stomp huge bosses on the way to defeating Apocalypse.

The coolest thing about this game, other than the awesome comic-book story and building crazy superhero teams, is that it's a multiplayer game. Whether it's your buddies crowded around the TV or even across the Net (sorry Gamecube players, not for you), it's a blast! It's also fun cuz you can tear things apart, throw objects around and even hurl your enemies through walls. Plus, you can power up your mutants and unlock super attacks.
