What Parents Need to Know
This review of X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse was written by Jeremy Gieske
Parents need to know that comic-book style action abounds, but there's little blood and gore. The fighting is in the third-person, making it seem less visceral, and corpses melt away and vanish. Minor profanity is pretty much restricted to a few cut scenes. There's some commercialism: Players can find comic books that allow them to view Marvel comic book artwork. Parents should be aware that this game is online enabled. Common Sense Media does not recommend online play for anyone under 12.

What’s the Story?
Players familiar with the X-men franchise will be happy to see many of their favorite mutants, from Magneto to Wolverine, ready to battle it out in X-MEN LEGENDS 2: RISE OF APOCALYPSE. Here's the twist: A new evil forces an uneasy alliance between X-Men and The Brotherhood. Diabolical Apocalypse is determined to create a new super-mutant race, and he, along with his minions, have overrun The Brotherhood's refuge. In desperation, Magneto frees Professor Xavier from prison, offering a temporary truce to take on this new threat.
Players are given the option of using both X-Men and Brotherhood characters to defeat Apocalypse. There is a lot of flexibility: Players can decide if they want a more strategic role-playing experience or constant action. They can partner with someone on the same machine, or online through Xbox Live. Players can take each other on in skirmishes, or play cooperatively through any of the single-player campaign levels.

Watch out!
Although this game is for people 11 and up,the parents must be careful!Are you sure you are ready to show your child the bad meaning of violence and bad language?The good thing about the violence,though,is that they use it for good purposes.
