Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Although it was actually the first X-Men film that ushered in the current wave of (mostly) quality superhero films, the best the video game world has ever had to shout about is the Spider-Man games. This could all be about to change though as X-Men: Legends looks to be one of the first games to both do justice to its source and play a decent game at the same time.

Rather than being a simplistic fighting game, X-Men: Legends is actually an action role-playing game cum real-time strategy. The game is viewed from an overhead perspective and you get to take control of a team of four X-Men, chosen from a wider range of the comics best and brightest. You can only control one character at a time though, with the others following along behind and reacting to danger semi-autonomously.

You always have full control of the mood and tactics of all your team members though, being able to set them as passive or aggressive as well as choosing their formation and position in the team. Each level also features multiple "extraction points" so you can quickly swap new team members into your group and generally you're given as much control over strategy and tactics as you could wish.

It's always nice to see a company trying something a bit different with a license and, although both graphics and gameplay do occasionally appear a little simplistic, X-Men and RPG fans alike should find plenty to enjoy here. -- David Jenkins



Product Description

X-Men: Legends features favourite characters from the powerhouse Marvel franchise in an immersive action RPG. The story begins when the X-Men learn that Magneto, their greatest adversary, has devised a plan to give mutants the power to reign supreme over humans. The X-Men are then forced to battle Magneto to prevent global chaos and stop their foes from imprisoning the human race. In order to save the world from certain destruction, players must build the perfect X-Men team by recruiting new members and deciding how best to upgrade their powers and abilities. Players will need to choose the best combination of heroes to tackle each unique obstacle as they face a threat that could destroy all of mankind.

Gamers can pick their favourite X-Men character and upgrade each character's attributes to create their perfect team. Recruiting from 15 different heroes including Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and Jean Grey, players gain experience, upgrade their team, characters and unlock new abilities to aid in the quest. X-Men: Legends also features a multi-branching, mission-based storyline that allows for abundant replay value. Players can play solo or cooperatively with up to three friends as they battle evil mutants. Dynamic joining allows new players to become part of the adventure at any time during the game.

4.0 out of 5 stars An EXtremely Good Game, 28 Oct 2004
By Scarlettspiderg (Salford, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
At last an X-Men game thats good. Choosing a team of 4 X-Characters (From 15 unlockable characters) you get to take on the Brotherhood, Morlocks and Sentinals in a variaty of landscapes.

The games creaters have mixed together the Ultimate X-verse and the normal Marvel universe to create a fresh but familar feeling that sits right for the game. The game itself is RPG (destroy enough enemies to grow and then choose new attributes)/team based (choose the right characters to complete the task) but one annoying feature is that Wolverine seems to level up faster than other characters, he is the only "all rounder" type character and you have to start out as him.

Other features include amazing cutscenes, collectable comics/concept art and a battle mode (where you can fight another player - sadly not XBox Live).

I'm a big fan of Marvel Comics and loved this game, its worth picking up just to play the 70's Sentinal level).

4.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly good., 5 Nov 2005
By S. Gray - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This game is inetresting, in that it works like a slightly changed Diablo II, you have a variety of characters to control. Each character comes with only four abilities that get stronger and bigger, but then consider that you control four at once, and suddenly the game gets a lot bigger. And it does it quickly. All the faves are here, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Jean Grey. Jean Grey becoming more fun in later levels, when you pick up cars and throw them at sentinels, if you so wish.

That graphics are somewhat chunky, not so much that you notice during the game, but during cutscsenes you'll be wondering why they all have flippers for hands.

Overall the game is fun, and people looking for a fun game that will keep them enetertained I would easily recommend this game too. Graphics aren't cutting edge, but they don't need to be when a games just goddam fun without breaking any new ground.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good game, 24 Aug 2005
This game is highly reminiscent of Baldur's Gate, except in some ways better but in some ways worse, so it kind of balances out. Playing as the X-Men is great and features loadsa characters each with cool powers, some better than others. The graphics look like the comics but in a nice 3d way so the game looks very good. Like Baldur's Gate however, the gameplay gets slightly repetitive in just going around killing people. The game adds a feature in which you can change between your team of four characters in the middle of a fight which is a nice addition. There are loads of unlockables throughout the game such as comic books, original art designs, movies and discs where you can play through scenarios in the danger room. The sound is what you'd expect, and there are lots of the city sounds whilst traversing the different levels. There are lots of cool things to do throughout the game apart from the main missions such as the danger room and playing flashbacks. I thought that the constant visits back to the mansion were slightly unnecessary however and became a bit boring. When you first start the game there is a news show on the TV and the footage actually looks real. So much so, that when I played the start to my friends, they didn't even know it was a game. Each character can have four mutant abilities which can be levelled up and can be used. Each character also has several other abilities which benefit either them or the entire team. when levelling up though only a certain amount of points are given to you and the highest level you can get to is 45 I think and all the points you get means you can't have all the abilities so you must choose wisely. You can also upgrade your basic attributes to increase health, defense, attack etc. The reason this game loses a star is simply because of the repetitiveness and no presence of tactics because you can't even block. Overall it is a good game worth the price, so I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good action RPG.
