Only the second time I ever finished this game even though it's an all time favorite. Such a fun game even though the next two would improve on it in every way. X-Men Legends 2 in fact is one of my all time favorite games of the 2000s, maybe even ever. If you're looking to play this one now though, SAVE! As much as you can! This game has a wonky difficulty curve and is very punishing on death kicking you back to the last manual save with no checkpoint or autosave mechanics. This game's biggest downsides are the way that certain characters are required for certain levels. For instance you need a bridge builder like Iceman for the second level and a welder like Cyclops for the ship level and heaven help you if they get knocked out. Secondly the AI is dumb as rocks. The aforementioned second level is full of bottomless pits that the AI partners love to push each other off of because they are obsessed with moving forward as efficiently as possible.
