Warning: Spoilers
This game benefits greatly from an interesting roster and an even greater intro, however the level design alone almost turns this mutant romp into an ordeal. Unlike the last game, which took us to interesting places like the Shadow King's domain and an arctic base(basically every x-locale you can think of along with the mansion and danger room), this game is a generic tomb/factory/cave fest, an idea that is hammered into your skull before you can even get to the somewhat interesting New York level. Even though the plot leaves much to be desired(2 betrayals and a whole lot of shut this and that down), the boss fights can be amusing; the battle with the titular baddie lives up to expectations and the early throwdown with abyss is a the show stealer. Recommended if the 1st game wasn't enough for you.
