Ballistics Report

Pros

Gameplay
It’s four-person Diablo with X-Men characters and a more diverse selection of abilities than the original. Sure, the items aren’t as cool, but they’re X-Men!

Sound and Graphics
Though not top-tier quality, which is no surprise given the console origins, the sound and graphics work together to give an almost hypnotic experience of chaos.

Replayability
This sounds very odd for a linear game, but min/maxing your characters and messing with party combinations (certain teams of four get special bonuses!), combined with the highly addictive gameplay can make a second or third time through pleasant.



Cons

Length
X-Men Legends 2 isn’t short, per se, but we could certainly use a bit more of it.

PC controls
The standard PC control setup isn’t all that intuitive and we don’t see it getting any easier unless you get a gamepad.
