X-Men Legends for PlayStation 2

Pros: Plenty of comic book references, good RPG-like system

Cons: Play is buggy at times, gets a little dull near the end of the game

The Bottom Line: This game is a dream come true for fans of the comic books, but don't worry, it's still fun for everyone else.

Review: This game managed to do something truly incredible, which many other video games have promised, but failed to deliver. It captured the essence of the comic-books as seamlessly as Hugh Jackman's transformation to Wolverine for the X-Men movies. And if ...

Pros: A lot of Characters, great controls, cool upgrades, great team dynamics!

Cons: Story a bit linear thus far, Camera angles are a bit off!

The Bottom Line: This is a MUST HAVE!

Review: First off, this game is just fun to play. I have not completed the game yet, but it's definitely one that I plan on finishing. There's a level of replay in the game, since you can upgrade the characters differently, which would change the game in many ...

Pros: Great story, intuitive gameplay, fantastic characters...

Cons: Some slow loads, missing (favorite) characters...

The Bottom Line: Like RPGs? Like action games? Love the X-Men? This game is for you!

Review: Superheroes have always been my main interest as far as comics and animated television. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, X-Men—they all rock as far as I’m concerned. So when it was announced that Activision was to release a new X-Men video game I ...

Pros: Good graphics/sound effects/voices/storyline, lots of extras, 4-character team orientated gameplay

Cons: Gameplay gets redundant, recycled 3d characters, long load times.

The Bottom Line: A buy or rent game depending on how much you enjoy these types of games. Not much replayability, but easily at least 20 hours of entertainment.

Review: X-Men: Legends (XML) follows after the successful overhead RPG hack and slash games like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath. It takes the overhead run-hack-slash action game and combines it with some RPG elements such as leveling up ...

Pros: Nice detail; variety of gameplay; multiplayer action; It's the X-MEN fer cryin out loud

Cons: Glitches, graphics could be better, replay value questionable

The Bottom Line: Has some weaknesses, but all in all one of the best super-hero games ever made, and a real treat for X-men fans

Review: I've been an X-men fan since the early 90s. I used to wonder about the feasibility of an X-men streetfighter game as well as an X-men RPG game. Capcom answered the call for X-men streetfighters in the late 90s, and now Activision finally brings us ...

Pros: 16 X-men, deep storyline, Classic Danger Room encounters

Cons: Forgettable music, funky camera angles, sometimes slow action

The Bottom Line: This is a must have for any true X-men fan.

Review: So, the appeal of the X-men is quite far reaching and long-standing due to a deep, realistic (and yet still fantasy), and exciting series of storylines. The X-men have held the hearts of kids and adults ever since the 60s. Only until recently have the ...

Pros: Good RPG/action game with even better multi-player options!

Cons: Load times may drive you crazy at times!

The Bottom Line: I recommend X-Men Legends to RPG and action gamers alike. Its an amazing mix of the two genres! With wonderful multi-player modes too!

Review: X-Men Legends is part RPG (role-playing game) and part action game. This is one of the few games I've bought on a whim, and I'm glad I did so. The Story: As the game begins, tension between humans and mutants is nearly boiling over. A ...

Pros: A lot of different characters.

Cons: Game can be slow to load and finding a save point can be frustrating.

Review: This is a really fun game. Lots of cool characters to play as and use their powers. Getting to play as Professor X was awesome. His powers kick ...

Pros: Great for X-Men fans, characters to choose from. Good voice-overs, interesting storyline.

Cons: Graphics weak. Game repetitive for many players not used to hack ‘n slash games.

The Bottom Line: X-Men fans will finally be able to live out their comic book fantasy. But anyone expecting fluid graphics or varied gameplay will be disappointed.

Review: We've been plagued by so many poor licensed super hero games over the years that I was shocked to see X-Men Legends for PS2 actually getting decent reviews. After 2003’s horribly Wolverine’s Revenge, I assumed that X-Men Legends would follow suit. I was ...

Pros: Good Graphics and Sound.

Cons: Bad music, not enough voice acting.

The Bottom Line: If you are a fan, then this is for you.

Review: Until the recent City of Heroes, Spider-Man 2, and Freedom Force, games based on comic book characters have often been resoundingly dull and in many cases abysmal gaming experiences. With the success of the X-Men movies fans were waiting with baited ...
