X-Men Legends - PlayStation 2

X-Men Legends is an action role-playing game for the PlayStation 2 that brings Marvel’s mutant team into a cooperative, squad-based adventure. Developed by Raven Software and published by Activision, the game allows players to experience an original storyline inspired by the X-Men comics while assembling a team of iconic characters.

Players form a four-member squad from a roster that includes characters such as Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Grey, each with unique abilities and combat roles. Gameplay blends real-time action with role-playing mechanics, featuring melee and ranged attacks, mutant powers, and character progression through experience and skill upgrades. Team composition and power synergy play an important role in combat strategy.

Missions take place across a variety of environments tied to the X-Men universe, with objectives that combine combat, exploration, and light puzzle-solving. The game supports local cooperative play, allowing multiple players to control different team members simultaneously. This cooperative focus helped distinguish the game from traditional single-character action titles.

X-Men Legends laid the groundwork for future Marvel action RPGs, offering a team-based PlayStation 2 experience that emphasized character variety, cooperative gameplay, and progression-driven combat.
