For your "Ones that got away," you don't actually need 6 people for X-Men, just 6 controllers. You only need one other person, presuming that you have at least one other controller. Also, for finishing the game on the hardest difficulty in Bourne, you can play the game on the easiest difficulty and just quit and continue on the highest difficulty after you hit the last checkpoint but before you finish the level. It takes a little attention to a guide, but it saves a lot of annoyance on some of the tricky sections.
