Marvel's mutants come to the PSP in a great action-RPG that's slightly marred by some technical glitches

The PSP's technical limitations bring the game down a bit. The load times are ridiculously bad, but to be fair this was expected. The console versions had bad load times so we expected them to be worse on the PSP. That doesn't mean we're happy about it, though. There are also several portions of the game where the action greatly slows down. Sequences that feature large amounts of characters on screen often come to a crawl.

Despite its technical flaws, this is a great game for the PSP. There aren't a lot of action-RPGs for the platform and this is arguably the best one to date. If you can live with its technical shortcomings, you're sure to enjoy X-Men Legends 2's fun gameplay and great story.

You'll love
  • Fantastic co-op gameplay
  • Online play is a snap
  • Bonus characters are fun
You'll hate
  • Load times are terrible
  • Slowdown in heavy action scenes
  • Accessorizing is quite forced
