X-Men Legends II ushers in a new day for PSP gaming! The fact that the PSP can handle a 100% port of a new console release is AMAZING!
Gameplay
Exactly the same as the PS2 and other console versions. All cutscenes, voice overs and elements are included. You take 4 characters (either X-Men or Brotherhood) around with you at all times. Characters will be allocated skill points upon leveling up that can be distributed either manually or automatically. Items drop off kills that can be equipped by your characters. Plays like a true hack n slash in every way shape or form. The best aspect for me was that certain quest's could be accomplished in a number of different ways, but it begs you to mix up who you run with to get a feel for all the different skills the mutants bring to the table. I personally have a newfound love of Bishop and Gambit, 2 X-Men I had never appreciated befor. This game is dripping with quality and is what Untold Legends should have been.
Graphics
AMAZING! The cutscenes are incredible ... Just as good as their console counterparts. The in-game graphis are very well done as well. My buddy has the X-Box version and he was shocked at how nice they looked. One negative is there are occasional hiccups every now and than where the game stalls for a second or two, but was not an issue for me! PSP owners are finding that load times may be the Achillies heel for the PSP. The load times are not as bad as say Madden or Midnight Club, but they are noticeable after you have played for a while.
Replayability
HUGE! As I mentioned above the game begs you to try new combinations. There are also comic book missions you can unlock and play at any time as well as going into the training computer to test out the skills of any of your mutants. Not to mention MULTI-PLAYER options. You can hook up with a friend and play 2 of the 4 players co-op! Huge bonus for that alone!
Conclusion
As you can tell I love this game! I believe this should be a GREAT day for all PSP gamers because this game shows perfectly what the potential of the PSP really is! I hope GTA: LCS can pull off what Activision did with this title. This game I absolutely a MUST have for anyone who likes a good quasi-RPG hack n slash or anyone who wants a good 30+ hour romp through the X-Men Universe! I so wanted to give this game a perfect score but the hiccups and load times dropped it a notch or two. Definitely not deal breakers though!
i just thought it was funny that you were here talking about the perfect score thing on this thread too
and i dont assume you think nothing can be better, i assume that when the better game comes out, you can only give it the same perfect 100 even though one is better. but please just chill out, no one is attacking you personally.
I just want to say that I picked this game up after playing the XBox version and enjoying it so much. I had the original one and it was fun but had major issues. The second one was just much more playable and cool. The PSP port is pretty darn good, and I love the online gaming factor for it as well. They did a darn good job and it does show the potential of the sleek little black machine.
i heard that battlefront 2 is a suck-fest on PSP. i have it for Xbox and i love it but after reading some reviews i think i'll get X-Men L2 instead for PSP
