Q. How do I unlock Deadpool/Iron Man/Professor X/Pyro/Sabretooth?

A. If you have the PC version of XML2, Pyro and Sabretooth will be 
available to you at the first Xtraction point in the Genosha Sanctuary. If 
you don't have the PC version of XML2, you're out of luck.

Deadpool is unlocked when you beat the game for the first time. You can 
unlock Professor X by collecting all Danger Room discs and beating all the 
Danger Room scenarios.

Iron Man is a bit more complicated. In each of the five Acts, you can find 
up to six homing beacons. Find four of them and a secret Blink Portal will 
open back at your base. Go through the portal and defeat the enemies. In 
Acts 1 through 4, you recover a piece of Iron Man's armor. In Act 5, you 
rescue Iron Man himself and can then use him in the current and future 
games.


Q. Should I get this for PC or one of the consoles?

A. It's up to you. XML2 is not that demanding on PC hardware, so even mid-
range systems from two or three years ago can probably run it. If you can 
play newer games such as Dungeon Siege II or Ultimate Spider-Man, XML2 will 
run like butter. The PC offers two more playable characters (albeit ones 
very like Sunfire and Wolverine), much shorter load times and better 
graphics. The downside is a complicated control scheme unless you have a 
decent dual-analog gamepad and possible bugs or conflicts with your 
hardware. Oh, yeah, the PC version is $10 (US) cheaper.

Still, it's your call.


Q. Can I play as ?

A. In the Skirmish mode, you can choose various enemy mutants. You can put 
enemy mutants and some non-playable mutants on your team in Story mode, but 
it involves hex editing your savegame, so you'll need to look elsewhere for 
that info.


Q. What's the correct answer to ?

A. See Section H of this guide.


Q. What's the best setup for my gamepad?

A. A complete overview of the controls is in Section B.01, including how to 
set up your gamepad to mimic the control layout of the consoles.


Q. How do I hit combos?

A. Section B.03 covers combat in all its permutations.


Q. How should I level up ?

A. Section D of this guide covers all 20 playable characters, with complete 
lists of skills and recommended leveling procedures.


Q. What's the highest level for the X-Men?

A. 99, and, even if you get that high, you still won't be able to buy every 
rank in every skill.


Q. Is this just like XML1?

A. There are a lot of similarities; however, it is different enough--
especially in the heroes and their skills, that you'll need some time to 
get used to it. Still, it plays close enough to the original that you can 
jump in and start killing bad guys right away.


Q. How many savegames can I have?

A. The PC version of XML2 allows 10 savegames. They are stored in
      My Documents\Activision\X-Men Legends 2\Save
   You should rotate at least three or four saves in case you mess
   up real bad.
