X-Men Legends II, considering the incredible amount of mods made for the game.

Legends 2 is better but legends 1 felt more like a proper x-men game to me. And it was a lot harder. Legends 2 was too easy

Yeah. I try that PS2 before i found the Cheat.

XML1 is a hundred times better than XML2.  The only things I want from XML2 that wasn't in XML1 are the extra powers and the extra X-Men.

Well, I think both cool.

I say both because I liked how XML1 was based in the X-Mansion and how Jubilee, Psylocke, Beast, and Emma were in it.  I also think the story flowed better.

For XML2 I liked that the powers were expanded.  I really didn't like the brotherhood members and ironman replacing spots that X-men could have occupied with the exception of Wanda.  I also liked how characters had more skins. 

Both are very different and deserve a playthrough though.

I agree with matt here. EVERYONE!  If you didn't try them, than try it out now! :D

I liked both games but I prefer X-Men Legends 1. I think that if XML 1 was modificated with more powers, more skins and more X-Men characters (I think that Iron Man shouldn't be in the games...) it would be an excellent game.
Also I agree with Matt that the story of XML1 was better.
So my alineation of X-Men would be:
:beast: :colossus: :cyclops: :emmafrost: :havok: :iceman: :kittyp: :marvelg: :nightcrawler: :phoenix: :polaris: :psylocke: :rogue: :sage: :surge: :storm: :warpath: :wbane: :wolverine: :x-23: :xavier: :cable: :cball: :hellion:

XML1 for sure. Better story. Better environments. I like that stuff in a game. I'll admit that XML2 had better powers and better replay value (it sucked that you couldn't go through XML1 with Emma, Psylocke etc) but it could have been way better. The Brotherhood was a waste. Only 4? No Pyro, Mystique or Avalanche? The average person only knows Scarlet Witch as an Avenger. Pathetic. And why take out the X-Men that were in the first game? The story was abysmal. All over the place. They should have kept the original writers. I will stop now because I am ranting haha. If they make another game with just X-Men, they better not make the same mistakes. They need to build off of the groundwork that XML1 laid with the added perks from MUA.

I agree to some extent of your comments made shadowbox. But you cannot compare Scarlet Witch to Pyro, Avalanche and even Mystique for that matter. Scarlet Witch is such a LEGEND and was part of the original brotherhood in the sixties and since the game is about LEGENDS how can you favour characters like Pyro and Avalanche and Mystique over her? Her palce on the brotherhood team is a lot more worthier than theirs. If people don't know who she is then their not true fans of the x-world. I thought the legends 2 story line was great. I was a big fan of the age of apocalypse and have all the comics released involving that storyline so I was pleased that they took that opportunity to tell that story marking its 10th aniversary. I have to say legends 1 story was better. The only thing I hated was Psylocke. She was seriously underdeveloped and I felt that she should have been given the acrobabtic and grappling stats like Beast and Nightcrawler since she is a skilled martial artist. Plus there should have been some expert difficulty once you completed the game the first time which would allow you to play as all the characters from the beginning. But yeah legends 1 was better only because legends 2 was waaaaay tooo easy.

Wanda was an original member but she wasn't in the first game. The other three were shown to be active members. To just remove them and add her was just a strange move. It's like making Toad an NPC and adding Unus the Untouchable. Makes sense but is weird if you just look at the games. Which brings me more annoyances. Juggernaut? He only appeared in the First Class flashback in XML1. Making Blob playable would have made more sense. They should have been interchanged it and had Cain as the NPC. Just makes more sense in the game world. I seriously think the creators just chose who they wanted and not what made the most sense in the world they created. Bishop? Really? Didn't we save him as a child in the first game? They really should have explained that or at least referred to it. And what happened to Psylocke, Magma, and Jubilee? Would a few dialogue boxes really have made a difference? Instead of that, they added pointless cameos. Ok. I'm done once again. For now at least. ^_^

See thats where your going wrong. The Legends 2 story is not a follow on from legends 1. Its based on the 'Age Of Apocalypse' stories. There was never the intention for there to be continuity between the two. Avalanche, Magma and Pyro had nothing to do wth the story so there was really no need for them to be there but it was nice Pyro was included in the story. Personally, I don't much care for Jubilee, she irritaates me but I did feel Psylocke should have been there. As for Juggernaut, he appears TWICE in the first game like Blob does. You also fight him at Muir Island. And when you talk about LEGENDS Juggernaut beats Blob to a pulp hands down! You have to read the books and then maybe you'll understand better. It was a fantstic epic story where the X-Universe was turned upside down. Although they took some liberties tweaking the story a bit i.e keeping Xavier alive, adding pyro and so on, they did a pretty good job. Bishop was a prominent character in the books so he had to be there. And since its based in a different reality from legends 1 there was really nothing to explain for him being there. And why would you want Pyro as a playable character anyway when you already have Sunfire? That would ave been a wasted slot. And what else can Mystique really do apart from shoot guns badly? Leave that to Bishop he's far more cooler at it.

Though I love the Age of Apocalypse storyline I think the story in XML2 was done very superficial. But I think XML2 has the better gameplay, with a lot more skills and things like that and of course these great mods here. I think the storyline in XML1 was done a lot better because you had parts were you had to play Magma for example or classis events from the past, like this sentinel attack. The dialogues were "fresher" in some way too. In XML2 you are almost never outside, you always fight against villains in dark creepy caves or buildings. In XML1 you were a lot outside, I loved especially the first stage in New York.

You're right about the Juggernaut thing. Totally forgot about Muir Island. But saying that you don't need Pyro because you have Sunfire is like saying you don't need Colossus because you have Rogue. Similar powers but different ways of using them. And where are you getting that XML2 isn't a follow up? It is. At the end of XML1, Apocalypse threatens the X-Men. The story only takes certain elements from the AOA reality. If it followed it exactly, Xavier and Scarlet Witch would be replaced by Dazzler and Exodus (because Charles and Wanda were dead in AOA). And I'm not saying that Magma, Avalanche and the others missing from the group had to be playable. They could have been NPCs. What I'm saying is that they at least deserved a mention. I'd rather hear about what happened to an important character from the first game than hear from Havok. And why wasn't he playable? He says the X-Men don't trust him? They're teaming up with Magneto and his lackeys! They let villains fight alongside them and had a heroic man who made one mistake chauffeur them around? The game's characters and story were just weak compared to is predecessor.

Rogue and Colossus are nothing alike. Rogue can fly, absorb, do other stuff colosus can't. Pyro and Sunfire are exactly alike. I don't see how both of them in the game could have worked

With the exception of Pyro's Firebats.

I think another similarity would be the other PC exclusive: Sabretooth and his long-time archnemesis Wolverine. I would have liked to see a better variation in their powersets.

You are misunderstanding me. I know that Pyro is a copy of Sunfire in the PC game. I was talking about the comics. Pyro shapes fire that comes from the tanks from his back/lighter because he cannot generate it. Sunfire can generate fire and radiation. They could have been made completely different with some creativity. I was using Rogue and Colossus as an example of how characters who can do similar things are very different.

Well, I think the "PC exclusive" characters aren't that exclusive. They are just copy of another character. But, on other platforms, the exclusive characters I think really exclusive (I'm not sure, I didn't tries, just the PC game).

Agreed

X-Man, Cannonball, Cable, and Dark Phoenix are pretty unique. They don't sound exactly like another character.

I love X-Men Legends, but X-Men Legends 2 didn't seem to live up to it.

Why X-Men Legends is good:
1.Decent characters :phoenix: :magma: :emmafrost: :jubilee:
2.Good powers
3.A storyline that would proberly happen :magneto:
4.Wasn't realy easy

Why X-Men Legends 2 is good:
1.More characters :bishop: :cball: :cable: :deadpool: :juggernaut: :magneto: :scarletw: :xman: :stark: :toad: :sunfire:
2.Better boss :apocalypse:
3.More powers
4.Mods are made for it

I agree to this, but I didn't had the time, to try X-Men Legends 1, but I believe to you guys.

XML1 is a classic though. Just like JLH has the cinematic potential to reach Justice League Unlimited, I think XML1 may have the potential to make a few cinematics that would go into one of their cartoon shows.

I like both, but I'm going with X-Men 1 cuz it's much darker and deeper :)

i like both one xml  :beast: second xml2 had :cball:
the four i used
:juggernaut: :bishop: :gambit:  :cable:

Do you realy think XML2 is better?
I gonna tell you guys the reasons who Xmen Legends 1 is very very better.

1- a decent history
2- Good Characters
3- Excelent Powers
4- Missions who is really cool to play
5- Level Dificult
6- Is a Game who no have contraditions in the real xmen history

I adore both! Because they are games about my favourite x-men!

I liked xml1 storyline but I love xml2 too because i can mod on it  :P
I adore both!

I like X-men legends 2 better as there are more playable characters and feel the battle system was better, like been able to bring up all of your powers at once during a fight, there were more bosses and the graphics were improved alot.
I do feel the first game had a better storyline but they are separate games, I feel there were some charcters in XML2 that should have returned:

Pyslocke, Jubilee and Magma.

XML2 gives you more detail on certain characters if you have certain xmen in your team on sub bosses like Jean Grey and Archangel, furthermore there are more costumes and you can make mods. :D

I love both. :storm:

XML is good but XML2 is batter because there is more power, more character 

If the first game had all the powers of the second I'd take it any day. I loved the original XML.

I of course bought X-Men Legends 1 first, but I got stuck on the mission where you are on the boat and Jean is holding it together, and you are on a time limit and I could never beat it. So it just kind of sat there.

I finally got X-Men Legends 2 and it was so much fun! Villains and X-Men both playable was amazing, like Teancum said the powers were amazing, money was so much more easier to come buy, unlocking things was so much more easier, where as in XML1 I found everything so difficult.

So XML2 takes the cake for me!

Oh I remember that day when I had the same struggle Midnight I couldn't pass that mission on the boat, but after a while I finally passed it. So I feel you. :storm:

Yeah, when I was really sick I just started the whole game over and beat it the same day. X-Men Legends 1 I thought was much more difficult, like the mission where you fight Sabertooth in the lava area or what ever, and the final mission oh god, I used every hero I had because they kept dropping like flies.
