OK, so I bought a PS2 for my husband a long while back. He didn't like the games I picked out for him(I wasn't into games at the time) and so he picked out X-Men legends. I picked it up for grins one day cause he keep bugging me about it. I was instantly hooked.
Now, I don't know anything about Marval and their comic books, but I have to say that this game is truly one of my favorites. You get to choose for of your favorite characters to play with at one time. You can also push the directional buttons to switch between characters. For instance, if you're playing with Cyclops and you need to fly somewhere, just hit your directional button to the person who has flight and off you go. Fly back and you can instantly change back to Cyclops or one of the other two characters.
When you level up, you get points to distribute amoung your attributes and your skills. The game is rather stingy with the points so spend them wisely. Also, spend money wisely because there isn't a whole lot.
Most of the characters are awesome, a couple are worthless, like Jubilee and Psylocke, but they don't take away from how awesome this game is. The graphics in the game are rather bland and tend to run together. The voice work for the most part is good, can get cheesy at some points in the game. The storyline is simple and easy to follow, that's good for me.
Overall, there is nothing too complicated about this game so long as you allocate your skill/attribute points accourdingly and have the appropriate items equipped. This game is even great for the young ones to play.
If you like X-Men, well, this is it... - Reviewed on 2007-04-25
I used to read the X-Men a lot when i was a teenager and when i went to college, well, this is game has it, the same feeling when you read the comic book, it is as good as Wolverine's revenge and i can assure you it has a lot better plot than Ultimate Alliance. You can walk in the mansion and use the danger room to get experience points. The game is like Champions but with cell shading graphics. The game is based on the comic books and not the movies and is a great addition to anybody's superhero game library. The game can be played in 1, 2, 3 or 4 players, and if you're playing your game alone and somebody comes in and wants to join, you can simply do it pausing the game and adding the control to the second, third or fouth player immediately and if that friend or family member has to go or simpley doesn't want to play anymore, you can pause the game and simply turn off the control to the player.
The game is long enough to keep you busy and fun enough to keep you playing.
I give this game four stars 'cause the second game has better graphics and you can use both good characters and evil character 'cause the plot makes good and evil get together to confront a common enemy.
If you like super hero games, don't doubt it, this is it and you can find it very cheap for it is an old game; and if you like the X-Men, well, what are you waiting for?
