  1. The presentation, solid storyline and good use of the X-Men characters lift Rise of Apocalypse into the top echelon of PSP games. [PSW]

    Offers a great collection of heroes to choose from and has plenty of replay value. [Jan 2007, p.63]
  3. It should go without saying that if you already own one of the home console versions of X-Men Legends II: Rise Of Apocalypse, then you can almost certainly live without the PSP version.

The story is so boring and uninteresting. Acts 3 and 4 are unnecessarily long and awful. The bosses battles have weird gimmicks. The loot that you obtain will always be for 10 levels higher than your current one. The X men characters and their abilities and moves are varied every character plays differently and it is fun to play them. Other than that there is nothing good about this. Full Review »

    Truly horrible UI design that incur unnecessary interaction and time lost on the player. Missions are simply getting from A to B exercises.
