Publisher's description of X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse demo
To defeat the greatest evil, the X-Men will join their greatest enemy. X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse introduces the epic story line of an uneasy alliance between the X-Men and the hated Brotherhood in a fight to reclaim Earth from Apocalypse's grasp. Impressive gameplay enhancements include more than double the superpowers and customization capabilities, the debut of several new playable characters, over 100 diverse types of enemies, and a breathtaking range of exotic and real-world environments--from the Madri Temple to Egypt.
This official demo for the comic-book superhero game includes a cinematic introductory movie, a tutorial, and the two levels "Sanctuary" and "Dead Zone."

- Version reviewed: X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse demo
If you didn't get a chance to check out the original X-Men Legends, now's your chance to try it with better graphics and different superpowers. The sequel to the action RPG doesn't tinker with a successful formula. You control four mutants at a time in battles with Apocalypse's minions, earning experience and collecting items along the way. The demo offers a great introduction to the gameplay and story line. It's too bad the included mission isn't long enough to get a better impression.
The demo includes a cinematic cutscene, a breezy tutorial level, and one short mission in which you save the mutant Blink from the Dead Zone. You control one character directly--your "hero"--and three other party members with adjustable AI follow along. In the new story, the X-Men and Magneto's army join forces to fight the supermutant Apocalypse, who threatens both groups' survival. The default mutants are Magneto, Cyclops, Wolverine, and Storm, and Bishop and Juggernaut can be substituted into the mission to save Blink. The game plays much like most action RPGs, with lots of fighting, box smashing, item grabbing, and character leveling. The Dead Zone mission can be played on three difficulties, but all can be finished so quickly that many gamers may feel a bit cheated by the 336MB download.

Version: X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse demo
Pros: I loved the feeling of actually being drawn into the game, being compelled to play all the way through the demo (which happens so rarely with any game I ever play). The characters have humorous, witty remarks, adding personality to them, with their voice overs being done pretty well I think. The games controls are a tad unusual, but still pretty intuitive and easy to pick up on. Ingame action is similar to Dungeon Siege, in that theres an overview from an angle. All in all though, I really did enjoy the demo, and am seriously considering getting the full version.
Cons: It was too short lol, it ended just as I was really beginning to get into the game.

Pros: I like this game. Once you get in the gameplay is very good and the whole switching characters and leveling up makes it very interesting.

Version: X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse demo
Pros: The game is quite solid and the characters are quite true in terms of their powers, abilities and essense in the comic.
The gameplay is decent however the fighting is too quick and doesnt seem to depend to much on player interactive, in my opinion.
Cons: The camera controls are diffucult and it isnt always possible to see and turn easily towards where the enemies are from.
