THE BEST X-Men Game (So Far) - X-Men Legends 2 - Retrospective

This game and the ultimate alliance games hold a special place in my heart. So much fun

I so wished that we had gotten a 3rd X-Men Legends. Ultimate Alliance was tons of fun but the two Legends were by far my favorites in the whole series.

When I was a kid, my mom got this game for me as a Christmas present. I never heard of it, and I never asked for it. But when my mom was trying to find games for me, she asked a clerk that worked at the Wal-Mart electronic section for what games I would like as a kid, and sure enough, the clerk immediately said "X-men Legends 2 is a great game. He would LOVE it." And she got it. After playing it, the clerk was right. Thank you, random Wal-Mart clerk. Without your input, I never would have played this amazing game. You are the real MVP.

What blew my mind was finding out the same voice actor who plays Apocalypse in this game is the same voice actor who plays Sully in the Uncharted games.

It's really jarring to hear juggernaut with a southern accent. Though I love that they touch on one of the smallest details, the fact that he's Xavier's step brother.

I really liked Magneto's and Xavier's relationship in this game. It definitely reminds me of their current alliance in the comics as co-leaders of Krakoa. Also it's pretty cool that they included Iron Man, implying that just like him, the other members of the Avengers were captured, leaving New York vulnerable

I just love the dark, serious, grounded vibe of this game, so nostalgic

I feel like they probably had Xavier say “my home” in the destroyed X-Mansion because you could have possibly had a team of all Brotherhood members, and it’s certainly not THEIR home, lol. Xavier was also born there and grew up there. It’s the rest of the X-Men’s home too, but he spent the most time there and it was his family’s estate.

This game did a far more better job at portraying every Marvel Comic Mutant than any live-action X-MEN movie.

THIS was my game. Apocalypse is my favorite X-Men villain and the roster was solid even if it was missing some favorites like Psylocke. It had some awesome boss fights and the expansion of the skill lists for the characters added a lot. I've lost track as to how many times I've played through this gem. The ending inspired me to do a write-up for what X-Men Legends 3 would have been about and what it would have featured.

What I love about Dee Bradley Baker being nightcrawler, is that he's also Klaus in American Dad. And since they are both German, he uses basically the same voice. When my ex and I first played MUA, she called it instantly. "Is that fucking Klaus?"

X-men legends 2 is definitely one of the greatest marvel games of all time, the story is incredible, the gameplay is fun, the characters are amazing, and i just overall love this game. As both an x-men and marvel fan, this game put a smile on my face. The wait of definitely worth it for your marvel retrospectives always nerdy. Awesome video as always and i cannot wait for the marvel nemesis retrospective video

This is one of a few games that I still wish would be remastered. The way they incorporated Marvel and X-Men lore into the game was mindblowing to me as a child

X-Men Legends II remains one of my all-time favorite superhero video games! I wished we had an X-Men Legends 3.

I legit just finished my replay of this game, I’ve probably played this game every way it possibly can be played. I still can’t believe how much joy this game gives me and how much it actually means to my family life, the reason I got into comics, my love for Iceman, and my love for video games. Honestly I’d love to write a whole story here but I won’t, definitely went through a lot of nostalgia watching this video and I’m so glad this game has the love it deserves. X-men Legends III although I want soo bad with Ultimate Alliance 3 being out could never even come close too this game. Fun fact: this game taught me how to read through the in game dialogue.

I’ve just noticed that the prison guards in the opening cinematic look almost identical to the guards in the opening cinematic for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game, also developed by Raven! Another great game!

This game hits me with nostalgia so hard, It's still enjoyable play it even 15 years later.

Top ten game all time for me id kill for a remaster or even just a basic port. Its not even available for me to buy on my ps vita. Love your retrospective series and id like to throw in a possible game for you to do if youd like, Xmen origins wolverine the game. Movie wasnt great as we all know but the game was pretty great. Not sure if it ages well but just thought id give you some possible ideas for future videos. Thanks for the great content as always!!

Such a great complex game, I wish it would get more love, it fckin deserves it. All of the heroes are so unique and have different play styles. I mained the scarlet witch with the box ability and combustion, turning goons into cash boxes and then burning them was ecstatic

This game was my introduction to Deadpool.
