The GameDaily One-Minute Review

The first X-Men Legends was so faithful to the hero brand and yet also delivered a play experience that they were worthy of, instead of some other action brawler that was forgettable in six weeks. Rise of Apocalypse further expands on this with a new "auto-upgrade" feature that smooths up the rough surfaces of the first, as well as more characters to play (THE BROTHERHOOD!) and online play. It's not a dream sequel, but, thank God, it's no nightmare. The Legends rule once more.
