3. X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse
Both X-Men Legends games established the style that Ultimate Alliance would later be built on, and it uses dungeon-crawling systems similar to that of Diablo or Baldur’s Gate. There’s a big cast of characters to choose from when building your four-person party, and there are even a few non-X-Men that join the party like Iron Man and Deadpool. Even better, the X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants join forces to take down Apocalypse, and dialogue can change depending on who you have in your party.
Cinematics were a huge upgrade to the game’s visuals, but the actual graphics during gameplay leave a bit to be desired. Even so, the ability to play in co-op both locally and online adds a ton of value to X-Men Legends 2. A fun story, varied characters, and RPG systems, make this one of the best Marvel games.
