However, I do have those moments of enjoyment where everything feels good and proper. I do find some places to be idiotically hard for no good reason though. Like in the sewers where you are often SWORMED with enemies. Some of them will stun your whole group over and over again while the bigger annoying asses pound on you doing a ridiculous amount of damage. And there's not nearly enough health packs to be found, considering there's a insane abundance of MP packs that I rarely even need to pick up.

It is fun though. I'm reminded a lot of my childhood x-men memories. Cool stuff. So far it aint bad, but I'm getting kind of frustrated at parts.

The complaints you have are the same ones I have. I go through Energy like crazy, but I dont worry about it because I always have a ton of Energy packs, while quite often I'm scrambling for survival because there is no Health pack to be found. And yes, the AI can be EXTREMELY annoying. My brother and I have been playing through the entire game together, so I have only had to put up with 2 stupid people...but that was more than enough. What I find most annoying about them is how they get in a doorway and just stand there, not letting me through.

Overall though I still say it's a great game. If it starts to get frustrating I just head to the danger room and gain a couple of levels, then I can easily wail on the enemies. I am enjoying this game more than any other one I have played in a while. There are few games now days that can keep me interested for so many hours straight.

And Dylan, that is a great team. If you level up Cyclops and Storm's leadership ability, you can gain insane amounts of bonus XP from combo's.

Today I unlocked collosus....and he does have the coolest voice in the whole game! My brother has elected him to be one of his new core characters. I like all my characters too much, so I am constantly switching them around, which results in my characters being a couple levels below my brothers, but I dont care.
