3.0 out of 5 stars
The game is just as linear as FFXIII, sending you from battlefield to battlefield with no breaks or chance to explore and rest, with no open-world exploration at any point to make it feel justified. The game is running from one area to the next, looking for collectible X-Genes and Dossiers, defeating weak enemies, while all the real story happens between the X-Men and the Brotherhood through cutscenes.
By the end of the game's story, maybe 3 or 4 days have passed. Your character receives their powers for the very first time at the beginning of the game. Why does no one think it's strange that a 16 year old Asian girl who just got her X-powers is beating up Magneto and Juggernaut and Wolverine, joining the X-Men, and saving the world? Really? Clearly none of the X-Men think this is strange, because no one says a thing about it. Clearly IQ's dropped after Xavier died.
I played as a good guy, and joined the X-Men at the end. But my character did miss a whole branch of her powers, presumably that I think would unlock from playing as a villain, or making other choices. In that sense, the game has replayability. However, Silicon Knights touted this game as being "all about choice", and ultimately your only choices are which characters, the Brotherhood or the X-Men, to support on yet another endless beat-em-up challenge. All together each of the three characters has 3 powers to pick from, making 9 unique stories, and each character can join the Xmen or the Brotherhood, for a total of 18 possible unique playthroughs.
However, the developers left out a really important thing for replaying a game. There are no options at all to fast forward and/or skip cutscenes or dialogue. You have to listen to everyone speak each line. If you pick a dialogue choice you already clicked on, oh well. You have to listen to the whole thing again. Bad move, Silicon Knights.
I've played this game through completely once. Yes, that's right. The game released yesterday. My single playthrough lasted 7 hours exactly, and by the end, I had collected 36 of the game's 50 achievements, as well as collected the majority of the games X-Genes. Yet another strike against replayability.
In the end, what this game was expected to be was another X-Men Legends. What we got was the old X-Men arcade game, with a bigger story, and some RPG elements to make it fresh. The problem is that if they had actually marketed it as a refreshing take on the arcade game, that could have been successful. Instead they chose to say nothing.
Overall, I'd give my single playthrough a 6.5/10. I found it my single play entertaining, the art and voice acting is pretty good, I enjoyed the new powers they made up, and even collecting X-Genes to augment my powers was a fun quest, even though the genes offer a rather paltry boost to your own powers. However, bland combat mechanics, the lack of dialogue fast forward button, and a short, ridiculous plot and set of uninteresting new characters make me wonder if we'll ever see a Legendary X-men game again.

I pre-ordered this game many months ago. Because of how great the Ultimate Alliance games were, and considering how much I enjoy the subject matter, I figured that this would be one of those labors of loves that some developers do when they don't have to tie it around a movie. Well, it turns out I was wrong. This was one of those "We need to make a game that uses the X-Men" games. The combat is so boring and repetitive (and considering that is ALL you do) that you really don't want to take the time necessary to find out about all the other things that you can do (and you don't really want to do those things since you are going to be leaning on a specific power or set of powers anyway). You can play for the story, and there are some interesting features/character voices - but please don't pay full price if you want to do that. This game would be pretty good if it was 15$, but at its current price point - I kind of feel ripped off (which is pretty rare for a game, I mean, I play EVERY Dynasty Warriors and probably will till the end of time). I'd rent this one, or stay away from it until you can get it on the cheap.

Rented this out because I am an X-Men Fan.
Thank God I rented.
The cut scenes are not really good but just for that they make them extra long.
The models are very very last gen.
The decisions you make have less meaning because both sides still talk to you and move you forward.
Very straight path that you must travel. Unoriginal level design.
And the worst insult I can give a game:
It's really boring.

Horrid Pile of Garbage
I was one of the few people that didn't do research on this game and bought it on day 1. When I got, you were only able to select 3 mutants. Read more

It's no KOTOR, but Activision isn't Bioware
The title sums it up. I've said to friends since Ultimate Alliance, Marvel needs a new production company. It's not entirely Activision's fault. Read more

Lots of potential, but falls far short of expectations
There's not much for me to say that hasn't already been said by other reviewers; disappointingly linear story, mediocre gameplay, and not much replayability. Read more
