X-men Legends: Rise of Apocalypse: So, I've covered the original X-men Legends game before. Most of what I've said applies to this game as well. The controls are pretty much the same and so's the gameplay. The major differences are obviously the storyline and the characters. Due to the story involving the Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-men teaming up, you get a much wider selection of characters (even at the very start of the game). This makes for a game with more scope than the original and also means you're not stuck playing the same characters over again. Another change is how things like experience points and equipment are applied. The first time you get anything, you're given the option to manually apply them or to have them applied automatically. You can also select whether to keep this behaviour throughout the game. This is a great feature as before, whenever I reached a save point, I found myself interrupting the game for a while as I sorted all my characters out. Definitely a game to pick up for anyone who enjoyed the first game.

More X-men
So, I'm not going to bother to date this as these posts are now so erratic. I'll just give my opinion on the game.
