Marvel would make bank if they remastered the Legends series while Disney is pumping out X-Men content at the same time

X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends II and Marvel Ultimate Alliance are just legendary and enjoyable till this day.

X-Men Legends was basically my "Gateway" to comics and superheroes.

Great character interaction and special abilities. Flyers could lift other characters, Rogue's unique powers with the team, Gambit and Jubilee being able to detinate walls, using Nightcrawler to teleport teammates, Jean Grey using telekinesis to move enemies.... why didn't any other developer learn from this

X-Men legends 1 and 2 are in fact the best X-men video game ever! I hope they continue these agame to an X-Men Legends 3 some day. Ultimate alliance 3 was cool, I loved it (even if the style was changed to make it look more like cartoon).

I have a special place in my heart for xmen legends 2 cause playing as the villains as well was fucking sick

I’m literally playing this right now 😂😂😂

Man, this game was my childhood. Glad you covered it!

“COMBO!!!” “COMBO”!!! “COMBO!!!” Sorry, that just brings me back!!! Lol

wohoooo more people talking about x-men legends!!

The Colossus slap was my absolute favourite thing. Absolute room clearer.

Glad to hear your thoughts on the game too, Josh! Your passion and love for the game really shows and I always feel inspired to keep improving my own videos after seeing the mastery exemplified in your own. Keep up the fantastic work!

Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction needs a HARD remake/remaster which ever one. New engine new physics for the destruction, like go really stupid with it for Hulk.

I love how they got Patrick Stewart to do so many of these games as Prof X.

Legends 1 started off and remained tremendously slow up until you get the mid-high level gear. Legends 2 did not feel like a chore to play right off the bat.

❄️ Ice Man was my main, my homies slept on him though.

Damn straight it does. My brother would always be Wolverine while I’d be Cyclops.

Awww man back to my ps2 days i remember playin this and xmenlegends2 w my cousin lol they didnt look the best but the cutscenes wer dope and alot of xmen lore

I agree. X-men Legends will forever have a special place in my heart. Definitely is my childhood. They need to remaster this game. Including X-men Legends 2. Playing as the villains in the danger room modes was sick!

I just loved every one of these games growing up. I was glad Nintendo brought MUA 3 back to the comic book style. I wish they would remaster these games for the next gen.

I love the Legends games and the action RPG genre was perfect fit for the team based X-Men characters. My one gribe is the level design and the missions sometimes drag on too long, but the overall love for the source material and all the deep dives into the X-men lore more than make up for it to me.

Finally he's back!! This is such an underated channel btw

X-men legend 1 and 2 are my favorite games ever, I really wish we could have a 3rd installment!

Hell yes. Friends sitting around drinking and playing this game from beginning to end. Those were the days.

I played the 2nd one first. I didn't play this one until years later. I love the absolute hell out of these games. They are definitely on my list of all time favorite games. I've played through both many times.

I had a vague memory of playing an awesome X-Men videogame when I was in high school. I never knew the name of the game, but ever since, I would always look for the mysterious game that blew my mind. Thanks for bringing a years-long quest to a finish!

Played X-Men Legends 2 but never the first one. Still remember how good the cutscenes looked.

Omg this was my fave game on GameCube as a child- played it and beat it multiple times

I just wish you unlocked Psylocke earlier. By the time you get her, half of the enemies are resistant to her attack type.

I loved playing this game with my three boys back in the day. I still have it too.

Legends and legends 2 were revolutionary shit. They need to bring it back but only with minor updates and leave the majority of its style alone

Hands down one of the best multiplayer X-men games!

It's so nice seeing some love for the Legends series I played these games hundreds of times as a kid

This game is a Classic and it's actually a hardcore rpg. Them Sentinel is Opp that Beammmm will one shot u early game

The best 2 things in the game for me were: 1 - Building a kickass 4 man team filled with cool heroes that work together well, are diverse in damage types and can do good damage. Another important factor was how easily their powers were able to combo with one another. Mixing and matching and testing out characters to see if they were good enough to make the squad was fun as hell. Reason #2 - Getting to pick your favorite hero(s) and simply kick ass with them and use their powers. My all time favorite Xmen is Gambit. So he was always an automatic choice for me. My teams were built around him almost every playthrough of mine. I don't care what anybody says - Gambit could kick major ass if you built him right and used the right gear. The power he had where he'd throw down cards onto the ground in front if him that acted as proximity mines was the perfect power to combo with because it would pop enemies up and was just easy to time with other powers. I played the first one a bit and beat it once, but I don't remember it very much. The 2nd is the one I played the most and had several playthroughs of. It's probably my favorite Ps2 game of all time really. Xmen legends 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 are both prolly in my top 10 all time! I just love assembling a 4 man team of heroes and going around whooping ass and using powers as you level up and continue getting stronger and stronger. I guess you could throw in a 3rd reason - They're great games to play coop with a friend or your significant other. Which is what I did alot as I played Legends 2 and Ultimate Alliance with my wife alot and we both had a blast! I just really hated the character my wife liked the most in UA - Human Torch! Did not like him AT ALL! So her choices got under my skin and made our teams look weak lol. We'd always do 2 and 2. I'd pick 2 heroes and she'd pick 2. That way we both had an option to switch to for some diversity. We weren't allowed to use either of the other persons 2 characters. We had to stick to our own choices lol. I remember I had to sacrifice Iceman cause she grew to like him. Since I was better and could be effective with a wider range of heroes I went ahead and let her pick him for one of her spots. Anyways - awesome video! Thank you first sharing!

This game is only surpassed by its sequel. Also, Jean Grey have some OP abilities. Just level her and you can swatch up the rest of your team as you play.

1) the first boss fight where you need to execute combos to cause damage is a great way to force you to learn the mechanic. 2) trivia game in the X mansion to let you level up your characters was very helpful. 3) by end game you had to use Jean and Storm for their reduce damage buffs to all teammates, so it took away some variability, but who wouldn’t want them on your team anyway.

Fire. This and Ult Alliance. Wish they released a 3

Magma being used as a stand-In for the audience reminds me of how the Super Hero Squad Show used Reptil, another obscure Marvel hero.

Man, we need a sequel to that 2005 Punisher game. Continue the plot, bring back Thomas Jane, get the original developers, and I bet we can have a masterpiece.

Love X-Men Legends 1 and 2 ,Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2. UA 3 was a disappointment.

I still think about this till date I need to play rise of apocalypse again so bad 😭

playing Jean throwing around a sentinel during the 70's flashback.

You have to say, "no." There is literally a room of danger in the basement.

I played both, but played X-Men Legends 2 a lot. Loved it, and yes, the art style immortalized it so it looks good even today. I found that Iceman had the smartest a.i. when it came to dodging attacks from bosses.

X-Men: Next Dimension was another masterpiece along with this one

id have to say rise of imperfects, that game was underrated af

i used to love playing this at my friends house as a kid

What a coincidence. I just played this game today for the first time ever, and KZfaq recommends me this. A very well put essay. Having played Marvel Ultimate Alliance, I'm surprised by the sense of progression and the number of details that Legends has over its sequels and spin-offs. Also, XML combos > MUA combos. I actually wish XML2 and MUA games had the same level of care as this game does.

Are you going to review X-men legends 2 Rise of Apocalypse

Unlocking the costumes and assembling specific teams, like Xavier + Cyclops + Phoenix + Iceman was such a fun part of II

Has it really been over ten years since the last X-Men Legends? This game was packed with charm, and atmosphere.

They need to remake this game. It was so banging.

I remember buying this year's ago, nostalgia is really taking hold.

I love this game more than other and wished they bring back this game x-men legends games

Thanks for this video mate LEGENDS series is perhaps one of the most underrated gems of all gaming history i always play the hell out of both LEGENDS 1 and 2 i will never forget the crime of humanity for not giving us yet a true proper LEGENDS 3 by now there is just NO excuse love X-MEN very dearly and super glad that i still own both PS2, Gcube and PC version of this game honestly i love this 2 games much more than MUA3 i was so disappointed about SO MUCH that they nerfed in MUA3 there is so many things i find wrong with it but that would take me a wile to describe i totally recommend doing solo - No teams runs in this games you get to appreciate much more each of the X-men or brotherhood when you go through each situation as just one of them also keeps the game more challenging they did a much better job on Legends 2 by adding the REMOVE Hero mechanic something i deeply DESPISE that they removed on MUA2 and MUA3 Good video man, totally apprecite every time i see people giving love this epic games i subbed you in the name of X-MEN

Hell yea it does 🤙🏾 Your a real one for mentioning this. I still have this on GameCube. I’m subscribing !

Love this game!! Truly the Holy Grail of video games!!

That mid-2000s PS2 era of Marvel games is the best run of comic book based games we're ever going to get. X-Men Legends 1 and 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Hulk 2003 tie-in, Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, Spider-Man 1/2 tie-in, Ultimate Spider-Man, Punisher. All of those games drop within two or three years and all of them are great. It's never gonna be that good again. I was obsessed with X-Men Legends when it came out in 2004. Rented it first, then got a copy for Christmas that year. Got X-Men Legends 2 on release date. Loved that game too. The gameplay has always been really addicting to me, I love the stories in both games, I love the customization afforded to the player with stat points, upgrades and even gear. I wish MUA 2 and 3 were closer in spirit and gameplay to these games, but I fear we'll never get a proper return to this style of game again.

Gosh l still remember that l didn't have a memory card so l couldn't save my progression. So l played the game from start to end without saving, good times

So awesome to see this legend (pun intended) of a game is still talked about and noy forgotten. I friggen adore this game and was obsessed with it. Best X-Men game to date.

I love the legends series. I was glad that the ultimate alliance games finally had a 3rd game. Although I hope that should there be a third legends game, I’d prefer that they keep the tone/atmosphere and writing team of the first 2 games. Because the uA3 game was fun, but the tone wasn’t entirely the same as the first game (understandably). Given the X-men being under Disney, I hope that they do legends 3 with the origami legends team.

I loved this game back in the day my best friend and I would pick our favorite x-men Storm and Jean Grey, kill off the other two characters and run as much of the game as we could with just the 2 of them!

I need to break down and just buy me a copy of X-Men mutant Academy 2

I'm still playing this game on my ps2.. love it.. legends 1 & 2

Were the Man of Action behind this game the same Man of Action who created Ben 10? Because if so that's pretty cool.

Great video! Thanks for sharing!😁

I was obsessed with this game and it still holds a special place on my heart and I played through it again recently.

Legends 2 is even better with new environments and adding brotherhood to your roaster

I would like to play this game again on PS5

Merci! I spent so much time on the two games... Tons of unlocks to grab..

I think this is the best X-men gameplay too!! I wish I could play it now😭

This game was a masterpiece along with marvel ultimate alliance games

I’mma let you finish but, X-Men Legends II had the best video game of all time.

I'm so glad I stumbled across your video! I'm an active modder of the x-men legends games and belong to the marvelmods community which specializes in modding x-men legends and its sequel as well as the Ultimate Alliance games. I would like to encourage anyone interested in these older titles to check out our community as adding your favorite character to these games goes a long way in providing a fresh experience for veterans and new player alike! We even have resources to help people get access to these titles as they can be hard to locate due to their age. I hope videos like this one will help more people find and try out these old gems. It'd be great to see more people engage in the modding community for these games too!

Awesome video josh! I'd love to see a video on spiderman 2 such an amazing game!

I wish they would remake this for ps5, because I used to play this for hours on end. I wish I can make a request to the developers of this game for a remake.

Legends 2 was superior in every way.

Xmen legends is my childhood I've sent tons of hours on it till the game and my original xbox crashes Loving the good old days I would play it today ❤

great review man :)

I haven't played the X-Men Legends games yet, though I do possess them (currently packed away for transit). However, I really enjoyed both of the Ultimate Alliance titles, so once I'm relocated in some new digs, the Legends will certainly be coming out of their box. Really, nice video, Josh. Hope you and yours remain safe, Dude. All the best. :)

The thing I loved about this game that they dropped as the series went along and morphed into Ultimate Alliance was the micromanagement of things like gear and upgrades. I get why they streamlined it, but I loved the less easy but far more rewarding systems setup in this game and in it's sequel.

Literally one of my favorite games we need another!

I never played X-Men: Legends. It looks awesome. Makes me wish I could go back in time, buy the game and play it on my old PS2.

Marvel Nemesis Rise Of The Imperfects is pretty cool

One of my favorite games ever. I'm a HUGE X-Men fan. I use Storm as my main. Her red lightning move is so powerful and looks really cool😁. Great video bringing attention to this amazing game.

Damn this game was the best, Jean was my fav and still is lol

Such a great video. I love these games. I'm tempted to buy an Xbox '01 console so I can replay them.

Wonderful review! Loved this game on the Gamecube. Still own it and the 2nd one, which I really need to play.

Dude you are so right!!! This game still holds up today as it did back then. I remember playing this for the first time. It reminds of both, the X-Men animated series from the 90s and also the first 2 movies directed by Bryan Singer. Getting Wolverine's classic yellow suit made me so happy. A time when you had to earn the extra content, not buying it

I absolutely love this game! This and the Hulk Destruction and Marvel Alliances are the absolute favorite games! Especially MA cut scenes. I Get a real kick out of the acting, especially Doom's favorite line-- Make No Mistake...!

I remember that!! I used to play that and champions return to arms on ps2 all the time... I loved playing characters that had the telekinesis power and just throwing people off cliffs lol

Oh how I miss The Punisher game. I still remember how crazy that game was at the time. Anyone remember that Yakuza level where you had to alter a painting to activate the secret exit? I got stuck for a long time trying to find it.

I didnt even start watching this video before I gave it a like! I loved this game. And part 2 as well!

I LOVE the first two X-Men Legends games. Was so fun to upgrade the powers. Really enjoyed characters with flight. And cough-coop peeps could just jump in at any time.

I love xmen legends or the orginal marvels ultimate alliance 1 and 2.

I need to play this game asap! It seems like ultimate alliance 1 and 2 which I absolutely love! I'm so glad u put this video out!

Im really glad to see xmen legends in talks . I really love to see this as a remaster an 2 an maybe even see a 3rd one down the road

Nice video! Imo the second one is better because you don't have the Magma section between mission which were boring and daunting at some point, plus you can play Iron man, Professor X and Deadpool so there is that. My only complain with the second one is you can't play Psyloke unfortunately she was soo good in Legends 1 :(
