I wasn't sure what to expected when i got this game for christmas, but when i started playing it, i couldn't stop. The effects of the game were great. I found the game challangeing. The hardest part for finding the crew members on the ship. I like the fact that you don't have to play as one x-men but with a group of x-men. The only problem i had with this game was all of the loading. I felt like i spent more time waiting for it to load then i did playing the game.

The game tries to keep with the story line of the comic book. Magneto breakes out to destroy the earth and the only ones who can stop him are the x-men. The game is great for anyone who like to play long games or just enjoyed reading the x-men comics.

I loved this game and I only got it seven days ago! The controls are really easy, but have a lot of good combos. You choose a team of four X-men before every mission, and if one gets killed, and you have enough backups, you can switch it out for another X-Men. The leveling system is amazing, tons of abilities and stratigies. Also, when you get a kill for with one character, everyone (not just your current team) gets expeirince. Also, it warns you when a character is about to die, so you can heal him/her before he/she dies. That prevents the questions like: WTF? I thought I just healed him? When you really didn't. Well lets wrap it up.

PROS:
Amazing Level up system
Really good and easy controls
Great Co-Op system that lets someone joing right in without stopping the game
Over Fifteen choosable mutants with all different things to say and do
Tons of levels and secrets, but not those "impossible" secrets
Good plotline
Tons of purchasable abilities and Statistics

CONS:
Camera is difficult
Cannot save whenever you want (Makes the game more challenging, and it also fits the gameplay style)
Comic-Style Graphics (I liked them but some people might not, but it allows for those wham - wham lines when you beat the living daylights out of someone)
Just too many cool X-Men, I had trouble choosing :)

X-men legends the best x-men game ever

X-men legends is the funnist co op game that I own. This was one of my first indeverse into the relm of a co op rpg game. It was awsome. The game wasn't too hard once you got used to the controlls and haveing a friend there to talk to and yell at when they mess up is fun. It's better and more sane than yelling at the computer characters for being an idiot. "The computer characters are idiots." The game is long enough to last for a while. Just when you think the game is about to end it doesn't. There is also a great story within this game. The only downside to this game is the parts when you have to be Magma and walk around the X-mansion. Your friend just gets to sit there while you finish the solo objectives. There are fifteen x-men each with there own 3 special moves and one mega move.
THIS GAME IS AWSOME, ESPECIALY FOR X-MEN FANS!!!!!
I can't wait untill a few weeks when X-men legends 2 comes out.
I know that Archangel and Bishop will be playable X-men in the new one. There might also be some playable brotherhood members in the next one including Magneto.
P.S It's unfortunate that Beast moves stink so bad in this one. I hope that they will improve on him in the next one.
P.S.S A few reviews down a guy said that this game was garbage. It's not and I'm not garbage for liking it. I'm not the one who is too poor to efford a plate to eat hamburger helper on.
no offence to whoever wrote that review, just a friendly quip

What are you people, on crack. This was the worst piece of crap game I have ever played.The menus go 800 miles an hour making it impossible to do what you want. The graphics suck and when I die with no X-Men and I havent saved the game I have to start from the beginning. Mark my words, It SUCKS

This game was about two weeks of on-again, off-again fun with some frustration like most video games. If you're a hard-core X-Men fan I have no clue if you'll like the game--I've only watched the movies--but I'm guessing you'll find enough to complain about because die-hard fans are never happy with any adaptation.

I thought the game was pretty fun though. A lot of fun brawling with various bad guys. The story was kind of ridiculous, but then what do you expect? Basically an evil general is out to spawn a war between mutants and humanity so he can justify genocide. The machinations of this are long and complicated and require you to of course go all over the world from New York to the Weapons X factory in Canada to a nuclear reactor in Russia. Thrown in are a couple throwback missions to Juggernaut rampaging through the mansion, Sentinels attacking New York, and Wolverine waking up in the Weapon X factory that let you play in the retro '60s/'70s-era costumes so Wolvie can wear his yellow spandex.

In between globe-hopping you focus on the story of Alison Crestmere, aka Magma, whom Mystique tries to kidnap until the X-Men rescue her. So you get to explore the world of the X-Men as she does by wandering around the Xavier mansion talking to characters and snooping around their bedrooms. You can also review sketches, comic book covers (none of those I thought were very impressive), and bios of the X-Men and evil Brotherhood, which was handy for a novice like me. You can also train in the Danger Room to work on your skills and add to your X-Men's abilities.

The game wasn't without flaws though.

Part of the problem is everyone has their own favorite X-Man (BTW, why do women call themselves X-MEN?) and with 14 characters to choose from you're not going to get much use from all of them. In fact, I relied heavily on maybe 5 characters: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Iceman, and of course Wolverine. I used Jubilee once, Beast & Gambit not at all, and Psylocke/Emma Frost in the Astral Plane missions. It's not that I don't like these characters, but I didn't find them terribly useful. Colossus, Magma, Storm, and Rogue I used occasionally, but there's hardly any need to.

What I found slightly disappointing is by the end the game became so easy when you figure out how to best use the mutant powers of the characters. Most of the time if you use Jean Grey's psychic shield, Wolverine's brutal slash, Cyclops' optic blast, and Nightcrawler's teleporting frenzy attack you'll wale on the opposition without hardly chipping a nail--or adamantium claw. I just about breezed through the climactic battle with Magneto using this crew. As a result there doesn't seem to be much point in having 14 characters when you really only need 4.

Other than that, I'd recommend finding a walkthrough on the Internet to help you avoid getting stuck. That comes in handy because the game doesn't always spell out what switches you need to hit or what mutant powers you need to use to achieve some objective. For instance, when you have to repair the Russian nuclear reactor, there's only a blue X that shows you need to use a mutant power, but which one? Turns out you need to use Jean's psychic ability to push something in place AND Cyclops' optic blast to weld the thing. That's the kind of stuff that isn't painfully obvious and can lead to some head-scratching (and cursing) trying to figure out what you need to do.

The most annoying feature was the lack of a continue. So make sure you save at every checkpoint. Otherwise if you screw something up or the power goes out or the machine just decides to lock up for no reason you might find yourself repeating a bunch of stuff.

The camera angles could be very annoying at times. Sometimes I'd go into a room and have to try and fight with this faraway overhead camera so that everyone looked like dots pretty much. A little more manual control of the camera would have been nice so I wouldn't get saddled with fighting from funky angles.

The CPU fighting of your allies is sometimes pretty abysmal. They seem to sometimes pretty much stand there or take weak swipes at enemies instead of disposing of them ASAP. That can be annoying when you're in a big fight and don't want to switch back and forth between four people.

The inventory system was irritating at times when you've got a full load and want to pick up some new toy. Like the characters, though, a lot of those rare and unique special items go to waste. The Hammer of Nimrod I found most useful because it helps Wolvie destroy Sentinels quicker. Erik the Red's Armor may also have helped Cyclops against Magneto. And the Astral Stone was useful for Jean in the Astral Plane. Still, most of those items didn't do a whole lot.

The graphics use that process so that everything looks kind of cartoonish, which I guess the idea being that since it's adapted from a comic book that made sense. The drawback is everyone looks like they're wearing oven mitts. The downside of using the newer costumes that more resemble the movies is that everyone seems dressed in black/yellow so it can make it hard to figure out where your character is in the middle of a fight. I recommend finding the "cheat" code to get some of the X-treme uniforms, although I wish you could play with the retro ones right from the start.

The flaws can all be overcome so the game is still fun to play, at least for this novice X-fan. It's a good value too and I'd wager more satisfying than any games based off the movies.

I loved both Essential Uncanny X-men and Essential X-men book. I liked movie.

This game hooked me on, but just for four missions, more or less. It takes part in catacombs, sewers and shady interiors, so there is repetition in that.

AI is sometimes really stupid, since I lost my almost entire team crossing ice bridge because they fell off.

You also must know how to develop skills in advance, you simply need Storm's pick and fly ability at one point and if u don't have it...

Sometimes, you must save best characters for the end and you don't know which are the best in the beggining of the mission and you might get best killed early in mission.

Game is technically great, graphic and animations are great, but there is no humour or dialogue like in new Bard's Tale. I would reccomend this to people who don't mind phisically laborous , long levels and to X-fans. Me, well, I don't know whether to give up or try it in few months since beggining

Enjoyable

At first I didnt like this game. After so long playing flashy games, this takes you back to old school graphics. You soon get use to the arcade style graphics and in the end you'll enjoy the game.

Read this before you bye the game.

This is a great game, but if you like games that you can keep playing,after you beat the game, you dont want this one. Dont get me wrong, this is a great game but when its over, its over. Once you beat the game there is no playing on. All you can do is re-play the game. Most games, you can play something extra, but as I said this game doesnt have that extra play. plus, this game is short. I think it took me a total of like ten to fifteen hours to beat it. It was easy. There are a lot of highlights though. The co-op is awsome. But it is fun in single play too. And you can play co-op and single player in the same file. There is alot of info on the x-men in the game too. if you like the x-men you will probably like this game. overall, its a good game and I gave it a four out of five.

a lot of reveiwers dont know what garbage is.

First off garbage is stuff you throw away, and x-men legends needs to be thrown away. I bought played it for about an hour and then use it to eat hamburger helper off it. I not even going to go into details. If you think this game is fun. Your garbage too!
