Mike Bracken reviews X-Men Legends 2, and it causes himto ponder an odd trend:
"I've noticed a weird trend regarding game sequels in the past few years—sequels seem to come into existence a lot faster than they used to in the days of my youth, and most of them are more like expansion packs to their predecessor than a full-fledged new installment. I suppose this practice is almost inevitable in a gaming market that wants a fresh sequel to a hit franchise released once a year, but it feels like a bit of rip-off to me. Each year, some company expects me to run out and drop 50 bones on a game that's really not much different than the one I spent money on less than twelve months prior. Sure, there are always a few tweaks and upgrades, but I often feel that those tweaks and upgrades are so obvious they should have been in the earlier title in the first place. And all of this pretty much describes how I feel about X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse. It's a great game, but if one's played last year's iteration, it's hard to shake the feeling of déjà vu that colors every frame of this title."
