I liked it better in the first how you didn't have as big of a selection and you built it up. Seemed cooler to me.

They should've added more characters I think, I mean, how much harder is it to add more?

The gameplay is almost identical to X-men Legends 1, there's really not that much thats different other than unlimited flight so long as you have energy, new attacks, story, and characters. I find that Iceman is way better in this game then he was in the last, but as for useless characters, I really don't use anybody out of my four-team. My team is Wolverine, Iceman, Storm, and Nightcrawler.

One cool thing that they've added, although I've only come across it once, is that certain characters can do certian things. For instance, theres a computer in one of the Genoshan levels that can only be opened by one of the brotherhood members.

I'm not very far at all and so far the game is awesome. I don't know about you guys but one of my favorite things is the trivia game, in this one I think they add new questions depending on which Act you are in. I don't know for sure though because I am still on act 1.

Gambit's powers are better, so are Nightcrawlers. Instead of only being useful for telporting through walls, he now has a sword which has a pretty heft mutant attack. One thing I don't like is that he can't teleport through forcefield type barriers or locked doors, so you have to do it old school and go smash/configure whatever is making the barrier.

I'm definitly glad that theres no POV character like Magma, I found her so annoying. One thing I'd like to see more of is cinematic cut scenes like in the trailer, but then again I am only on Act One.

Lady Deathstrike? I used Storm, Wolverine, Iceman, and Nightcrawler. Just use up your mutant powers qucikly and make sure you keep on attacking. Once your power is done, switch to the next X-Man on your team and just keep using mutant attacks. Just stay close and attack a lot and eventually she'll die.

I think Deadpool comes att he very end which would suck. Not that far yet though. Also, with Bishop I haven't really noticed them using his absorption, but I only used him to gain his levelso I pretty much used Storm and let him reap the XP benefits of fighting with higher level X-Men.
