X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse Preview

GameSpy has put together a two-page preview of X-men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, after spending some firsthand time with the action RPG sequel during a visit to Activision's offices. Check it out:
Raven's emphasis toward online multiplayer is a step in the right direction. The idea of a tweaked and improved X-Men Legends in combination with the sort of online hack-'n-slash elements that made Champions of Norrath so popular will go over nicely with gamers. The entire game, from beginning to end, can be played with buddies over Xbox Live or PS2 online. Voice chat will be an implemented feature. Saving will be fairly easy as players can jump in and out of a game as necessary while maintaining their progress. The save system will be dependent upon who has started the game, so that people can't just import their highly leveled characters into an online session and just mow through the storyline.
