X-men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse Review

Okay, well my thoughts: the graphics are def better on this system. There isn't heavy cell shading at all, instead you get 3D looking graphics. The only draw back is that the screen is a bit too small for the game, its better to apperciate on a console. And the load times for each level or area ranges anywhere from 10-20 seconds (usually the later). HOWEVER the psp version does have its perks. Not only do you get EVERYTHING (including the movies)from the original platform version in this version but you get a ton of exclusives. The first sets of exclusives are 4 ADDITIONAL unlockable characters. The characters are: Nate Grey, Cannonball, Cable and Dark Phoenix. The second exclusives are 9 additional missions (which are called comic book missions). These missions include the following scenrios: X-cutioner's song, Age of Apocalypse, Fatal attractions and much much more!

So if your a big X-fan and you have/want a PSP...def get this game. The cast becomes more diverse with the additonal characters and its always fun to play more levels!

40 Years of the X-Men Review

First off, this isn't a game, or a movie.Its a DVD-rom that can only be viewed on a DVD capable computer.
THE GOOD
This the first 40 year run of the comic book X-men, currently titled Uncanny X-Men.It includes issues 1-461, in order by year, including Giant Size X-Men 1.It also includes all the annuals in a separate menu.These are high quality scans, all in PDF format.
THE BAD
This includes ONLY Uncanny X-Men issues. Thats all fine and dandy, until you get to the mid-80's when X-Factor and New Mutants began their runs.So when you get to major cross over events, like the Mutant Massacre, Inferno, X-tiction Agenda, X-cutioner's Song, and the minor ones inbetween, you only get the Uncanny issues.This leaves some major holes in the stories.Sure, you can go buy the TPBs of the crossovers, but then you're re-buying the Uncanny issues.All the Age of Apocalypse is missing too, along with X-franchising one shots like X-Men Prime.
THE UGLY
You'll have to play around with the viewer settings to make the pages readable on a standard screen, without making them too difficult to flip through.All pages seem to be scanned in two page spreads.And all the original ads are intact.
Overall, its nice in and of itself, I just wish something could have been done about the cross-overs.That and the general lack of knowledge about this product here on Amazon and on the net in general are probably making this a rough sell at $50.
