Horrible level design, frustrating gameplay, incredibly difficult - Reviewed on 2006-11-18

I played this game for 4-5 hours with my 8-year old son and it was unbelievably frustrating. I've never played a game before with such horribly designed levels, where you fight your way through hordes of bad guys for 2 hours only to find yourself facing a bridge and the WRONG X-Man character to get across it, so you have to start all over at a long-gone save where that particular character is still alive, and someone manage to keep him/her alive long enough to reach the bridge. The camera view is horrible, so that you can only see about 10 feet in front of your characters. There is no way to heal your most vulnerable characters because there are woefully few health drops. The A.I. controlled X-men characters are so freaking stupid that they'll walk right off a cliff and die, which means you have to constantly switch from your favorite char to one of the idiot A.I. chars to get them in the right place, and they constantly get stuck and are too stupid to jump over little obstacles to keep up with you. This game is fun when it works, which is only really when you're playing solo or 2-player co-op, when you don't have to deal with the stupid A.I. Overally, I became so frustrated and angry while playing this game that I had to shut it off. Only an X-men fan would give this a 5-star rating because the game levels are a confusing mess, the A.I. is stupid, there are no clues for solving puzzles (like crossing damaged bridges), and you have to use a specific X-men character to solve certain parts of the game, with no warning in advance, and that char probably will die before you reach it. Horrible, horrible game. The only game I've played that's worse than this is TMNT for Xbox, and I play about 100 games per year.
Love it!! - Reviewed on 2006-05-19
Finally, at long last, a game worthy of the X-Men title. X-Men Legends is a really fun game with a very intense story. Playing the new student Magma, you learn as you go along through the game as she does in the story. The animation and FMVs are excellent. You have your choice of your favorite mutants, with the exception of some missing.
The voice talents in the game are great. Patrick Stewart reprises his role as Professor Charles Xavier. The voice talent has to be good for this game since there is a lot of talk that you can go through in this game. One of the coolest parts about the game is that you can tour the X-Mansion with free will; this allows you to basically go to any part of the mansion you desire. While walking around, you will bump into other students and famous X-Men. You can talk to them which adds another cool aspect to the game. If you talk to some X-men, you will be able to play a flashback story. Here, the X-Men will be in their classic attire from the comics. These levels don't have to be played, but they add so much more to the overall story.
If you aren't traditionally an RPG fan, you will still find things to love in this game. Whether it is the story, game play or just because you get to play most of your favorite mutants, this game has a lot to offer. The game play is fun and easy to learn, a must play for all X-men fans that have been waiting for a great game. You have found it here.
