The title of best X-Men video game ever isn't saying much - past efforts have bordered on criminal. However, Legends offers a fresh spin on the comic book genre by placing it in an RPG format. With a total of 15 playable characters and the ability to control a party of 4 at any given time (except for the first stage in which you start with Wolverine), the game offers a high level of variety which creates high replay value. Some of the pros and cons are:

Pros:
Many playable characters
Control any one of the 4 members of your current party
Good combat and experience system
Excellent story reminiscent of traditional x-men comics

Cons:
Mediocre graphics and sound
Must unlock certain characters as the game progresses

This game took me about 20 hours to complete. The level designs are long, but there are save points along the way where you can save and change your party if you want. Playing the game through a second time is an option not only because of the number of characters, but you can pour experience points into various skills, essentially changing the same character each time you play.

If you are a fan of the X-Men, you will love this game. It is well worth the price tag.

Best X-men game ever. All your favorites are here and then some. This is a brilliant action/RPG that plays like Sudeki if Sudeki was made up of hour-long battles and featured 15 playable characters that you can switch in and out of the action as the situation dictates. You get to assemble teams of four x-men at a time and tackle such notable villains as the Morlocks, Pyro, Blob, Mystique, Shadow King (yes, you do get to travel to the astral plane), Sabretooth, Havok, Juggernaut, and many, many more. Your four x-men of choice are highly upgradeable and each have at least four immediately helpful uses for their unique powers. Flyers can fly (and can be upgraded to carry teammates over gaps), powerhouses (Rogue and Collossus for example) send enemies flying offscreen and even toss Wolverine into enemies, Emma Frost can turn enemies against each other, Magma and Iceman can build bridges, Wolverine heals himself, Storm's whirlwinds suck up enemies and debris, Gambit and Jubilee can charge outside objects with energy and chuck them to explode in the midst of your foes, the possibilities are awesome. You can also pull some wicked power combos by combining any two special attacks by any two X-men. For example: Cyclops' optic blast + Wolverine's claw flurry = optic assault. This is everything an X-fan could ever hope for. In between levels, you get to explore the X-mansion as newcomer Magma and learn about your fellow heroes through conversation with them and by snooping about their rooms for cool stuff about their personal lives. You can also access the Danger Room and unlock all kinds of other cool features as you progress through the game. The only possible problems with the game is the graphics, which are appropriately comic-like,but not terribly detailed and the fact that not all of the dialogue is spoken. Some of it is and some isn't. It kind of takes you out of the game when a line of dialogue pops up and you don't hear the character's voice; but that's a pretty minor complaint. Other then these gripes, the game is utterly perfect and I can easily recommend this as another in a growing collection of nearly flawless xbox RPG's.

In an age where big name licenses never live up to the hype (Enter the Matrix, Bruce Lee, the list goes on), I must admit that even after all of the coverage, screen shots and FMVs of the actual game play, I was still a tad bit skeptical on my latest purchase of X-Men Legends. The plain fact is, just about anything that has "RPG" tacked onto its genre, I need to have because of the scarcity of quality RPGs on the XBox. I was lucky enough to get the last copy at my local video game store. That should have been my first clue that this game was worth the purchase. After getting home, pressing the "A" button through all of the publishers when the game first loads, I got to an unimpressive menu screen. Ooooo, Cerebro...Anyway, then I started the game. My initial reaction after watching a well done CG intro, I'm looking down on the man himself, Wolverine. Experimenting with the attack buttons, fighting Anti-Mutant soldiers, I'm thinking to myself, "Typical hack-n-slash". That was, of course, until I hit the 'game tips' icon that was ominously glowing. What's this, combos? In an action-RPG? I haven't had this since Xenogears! This turns out to be a great addition to this game. Finding different ways to string together combos to dish out maximum damage is really cool, especially when other X-Men are available for 4-man missions.

Raven Software did a great job with the presentation of this game. The characters in XML (not to be confused with the mark-up language, people) are very colorful with black outlines to give them a more comic book look. The most surprising thing is they brought in the voice talent of Professor Xavier himself, Patrick Stewart. Unfortunately, they didn't bring in Rebecca Romjin-Stamos for Mystique.

The story of XML is around Magma, the newest member of the X-Men. The first stage plants you in the middle of a rescue where you use Wolverine to release the soon-to-be Magma from the clutches of the Brotherhood of Mutuants, while giving you gameplay tips along the way. As you progress through the game, the X-Men are trying to uncover the reason for Magma's attempted kidnapping and fight through Anti-Mutant soldiers and Brotherhood mutants. The action is fast paced, and sometimes confusing when you have a four-man squad fighting off hordes of enemies. Other than the bane of all video games, camera angles, this is a top-notch addition to the X-Men franchise.

Leveling up is cool in XML. You can choose new abilities for your heroes, or improve the ones already in your inventory. In battle, they are accessible by pressing the right trigger, then A, B or X, making the beauty of decently-stringed combos easier to come into fruition. The level-up menu is a little confusing, so after a while, I just let the game level up my character with the recommended abilities by pressing Y. Just make sure you press the start button to accept the changes, or else the level up won't take.

Just about everything displayed on screen is destructable, from park benches to bus stop shelters, sometimes yielding energy and health potions.

Once more X-Men are unlocked, you can pick and choose which X-Men you would like to use for missions. Note, some X-Men are better than others for certain missions, as you will need their abilities to access unreacheable areas or to even advance. The game supplies you with decently placed X-traction points where you can modify your team of X-Men so you can, for example choose Iceman so that he can make an ice bridge to cross over to the next section of the stage. During battle, you can call for help from the X-Men that you've chosen, by simply pressing the left trigger. This will call your other heroes to your side and attack the enemy that you are currently locked onto. Doing this can give you more experience if they use their powers. For instance, using Iceman's freeze blast on an enemies and calling for aid from, say, Cyclops by using his optic blast will give you extra experience. The cool thing is that the name of the special combo appears on the screen. In this instance, the combo is called the Optic Freeze. Nice.

This game isn't always as perfect as I'm describing. It does have it's glitches, some of which is annoying. As an example, I destroyed a garbage can to find some much needed energy, and a potion popped out and disappeared into the frickin' wall behind the garbage can! Also, the AI for the enemies that you encounter can be a little, hmmm, how do I put this, stupid? If you are not close enough to the enemies that are on screen, they run towards you and....turn away? It's like they're trying to get to you, but they realized that it's too far to travel to fight your mighty X-Men. The last thing really urked me, but it only happened once. I was walking up a hill on my first mission, that was off to the side of the screen. As I was walking, the character I was controlling fell through the ground and died! Other than that and the fact that if you corner an enemy with your attacks, sometimes they get knocked back up a wall and don't come back down. This doesn't happen that often, just often enough that it's noticeable.

The game isn't always battling the Brotherhood. You can always retreat back to the Xavier Institute to visit with other gifted youth and X-Men, or you can even go to the danger room to practice honing your skills. By taking Danger Room "courses", you can obtain experience for your X-Men. This comes in handy if you take a mission and get destroyed every time. You can go to the nearest X-traction point and head into the Danger Room. Once you have enough experience, you can pick up where you left off, hopefully with better results. You can also visit with Forge to buy items and armor, most of which can be found in destructible items on your missions. Every now and again, you'll find "rare" items to equip your team with.

X-Men Legends is a pretty decent action game with good RPG elements to customize your X-Men with the powers that we only read about in comic books. Other than some slight oversights by the programmers, this is a pretty decent game. You'll spend a lot of time experimenting with a lot of different heroes and combos. You'll also spend a lot of time leveling up your characters if you want to do this manually. It's a well-rounded action RPG with a famous franchise. Who would've thunk it?! See below for my stars.

Graphics - Very "Marvel"ous. Nice comic book touch- 4 stars

Sound - Decent voice acting, superb voice acting from Patrick Stewart. Music is ok, but not annoying. not noticeable, either - 3.5 stars

Gameplay - Hack-n-slash with hot combos a la Marvel vs Capcom with above average RPG elements. Some of the same moves too! Knock a character in the air and continue to combo? Oh yeah. - 4 stars

Controls - Very responsive and accessible. What else do you expect from an overhead action game?! 4 stars

Replay - I'll let you know when I finish the game. Long levels, a bunch of stuff to destroy and find. Good deal - 4 stars

Downside - 1.The camera angle is a little too overhead for my taste. You rarely see your characters' faces.
2. The glitches in design and AI!
3. When the screen is filled with enemies, this game changes from an action-RPG to a button masher...but you can't find your character
in all the melee. So press buttons and pray.

Overall? - The best game out with the X-Men name on it.

Questionable stuff - The best line in the game is when Magneto says, "I must put my house in order!" Why couldn't they sneak the arcade version of the X-Men in as an unlockable? I can just walk right into Cerebro. No eye scan, no voice prompt, nothin'.
Finally...who would've thought that by smashing a park bench, you can find a cool X-Men utility belt?!?

I really liked this game. I played through pretty much the whole thing doing co-op (whcih is much easier if you've got someone to do it with you) with my dad. It is clean enough for kids and challenging enough for adults. I really enjoyed it. You can be fifteen different charactars: Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Rouge, Gambit, Colossuss, Jubilee, Magma, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Phylocke, Professor X, and Iceman. You unlock the charactars at different parts of the game. You start with Wolverine. You play as a team of four (though some levels have a limited number). You can upgrade your charactar's powers (Wolverine's healing ability, Cyclops' beam attack, Storm's lightning, etc.) and equip them with special packs and belts you find throughout the game. Also, there's the Danger Room, where you can test your character's strengths and weaknesses. The best teams are ones that combine people with good meelee attacks and good ranged attacks (example: Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, and Rouge are a good, strong team). If you liked the previous X-Men games, or like the movies of comic books, you will really like this game!

I buy a _ton_ of games that I try and then never play. But this game is a lot of fun and I keep playing it. Great combination of action and RPG. X-Men is the perfect balance for me (as opposed to getting bored reading too much text). The graphics are nicely done. Effects are really cool! The difficulty is perfect. Not too easy, not too hard. I love being able to switch which players are in the game, and being able to quickly switch which player you control at any time in the game! Want to slash someone with Wolverine...press a button. Want to freeze somebody? Quickly switch to Iceman. What fun!

One of the best features of X-Men is that your friends and join/leave the game at any time! This is awesome! Some friends may just wanna play for 10-20 minutes without committing. This allows them to come and go. If I stilled lived in a college dorm, it would have been absolutely perfect.

Finally I love the little touches-- like being able to browse concept art and such. Of course you aren't required to do this and it only adds to the experience. Sort of like DVD Special Features that are nicely integrated into the game.

Highly recommended. I haven't noticed any glitches.

Fun multiplayer game. I had played it on PS2 a few years back and bought it again recently to play with my boyfriend, since both of us are Marvel fans.
My only major complaints are that the game felt short and that it is not backward compatible for Xbox 360.When I put the disc in my 360, it informed me to check Xbox.com/games for an updated list of playable original Xbox games, which hasn't been updated since November 2007.

This game absolutly rocks!! The best xmen game yet!! You all remember the old Xmen games from way back in the day? This one blows them all away and then some. With 15 Xmen to choose from including, Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Iceman, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Jubilee, Rogue, White Queen and Magma. The combos you can pull off are incredible. Mix Storm's Lightning Attack with Iceman's Ice Beam : Electric Freeze! The upgrade system is quite easy to use, making your characters any way you desire. If your Xmen's power has more to do with throwing badguys off the roof or uppercutting them across the screen like Colossus or Rogue, build their Strength. Or if your character's mutant abilty is more energy based, like Gambit, Cyclops or Storms build up their Energy. The game pretty much revolves around your core mutant abilities but at the same time you have other abilities you can use which function at all times. Cyclops for instance has the Leadership ability which raises the parties defense and evasion whenever he is on screen. Excellent story line, great graphics and the killer sound quality which, in my opinion, are all utlized best by playing on an XBOX. LOL

I got this game as a lover of action games and RPG's (Role Playing Games). Overall I think this is a great game and from what I have seen the best of all of the x-men games available right now. Let me shoot right into what I liked and didnt like:

Likes:
Role-playing as some of your favorite x-men characters is great.
Graphics and sound are very good (not the best but still good)
Controls are learned very quickly and become natural fast
Lots of fun background on the various characters and storyline info.
Patrick Stewart is the voice of Professor X (Heck yea!)

Dislikes:
Not a very good tutorial in the begining.
I tended to get frustrated when your characters would walk off a bridge and die and the annoying element of bringing them back. (Unlike with other RPGs you don't have Phoenix Downs or Resurrection Potions... you have to basically buy their revival from a save point)
Individual Character looks and costumes... I know its wierd but some of the characters (Wolverine) look just a bit off for my taste... yeah I am being picky but hey thats just me.

Overall, I would say that its a worthwhile game which has a decent length of playtime. Lots of cool missions in addition to various training simulations. If you are into x-men or into RPG's I would say give this one a try. ENJOY!

X-Men Legends began with a great concept - take the most popular X-Men and let a group of up to 4 friends pick their favorites and go on a smashfest while engaging them in a comic-esque story. The concept was a good one, and as far as smashfests go, it's pretty fun. Unfortunately, a lot of little things combine to make the game frustrating.

First off, the ally AI sucks - several times a game your ally will walk off a cliff. In-game pauses don't actually pause the game sometimes, like if you're flying over a crevice - which expends energy - and the game brings up a dialogue box, your character continues to spend energy, and if they run out ... well, I hope you saved your game. Also, character levels max out at 45 (why not 99? ask the developers), which would be fine if 45 points would max out your skills ... but they don't. And since bonus skill points are rare - only one that I've come across without help - it's impossible to completely max out anyone. And since each character only has three skills - only two attacks and a boost - in addition to attribute bonuses and the super attack (which you have to actually unlock), people who like to train their characters will be sorely disappointed. Also, some of the boss fights get way too busy on screen - the one against Magneto is particularly bad, and it's hard to keep track of who you're actually beating up.

On the plus side, I love the levels in this game - with one exception they're all unique and unrepetitive (with one exception, but there's a good reason for it). While the staples like Cyclops and Wolverine are there, I love the inclusion of some lesser-known characters like Magma, who is the central character in the story and is awesome once she's playable.

Overall, XML laid a good framework for the Marvel franchise, but the game is clearly a beta test. XML II and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance fully realized the vision, and players will most likely want to steer clear of this title and go for one of those instead.

This is a fantastic game! The graphics are comic-book like and the story is amazing. If you are a X-Men fan you should really get this game. You can explore the mansion, throw bad guys off buildings, and trip giant robots. It is a fun game and it really gets you stuck on it. The peoples powers are amazing- Use storm to throw bad guys in a tornado! There are many ways to kill guys like cornering them and beating them, zapping them, freezing them, punching them, and throwing them

I highly recommend this game!!!!
