Full of uninspired backgrounds, bland water effects, and collision detection that will make your skin crawl. [Spring 2002, p.92]

It pains me to think of how much of the game was either changed or lost since it was intended to be released on the PC back when I first saw it a couple years ago at E3...after the game's been dumbed down to play on a gamepad, I think some of that original magic was lost.

An interesting concept for an action/adventure game with a deep storyline that evolves gradually, but it suffers from the scope of its technical glitches.

The combat is certainly fun, but not to the extent that you can overlook some of New Legends' other problems, like its camera issues and its short length. The game lasts only a little longer than five hours and lacks any extra features.

One of my major gripes is when you, Sun Soo, die the game just freezes then reloads to the options screen. If you die in mid-fall the game will pause and start to reload with the main character in mid-fall, no cool death scene, nothing.

The story isn’t a bad concept, the combat system is decent, and if the gameplay engine and graphics had been updated a bit, this could have been a good game.

I struggled with the controls, the camera and every other part of this poorly constructed game.

The missions are very basic and straightforward, with no real need for strategy or tactics. So unless you're a sadist and get a kick out of being disappointed, steer well clear.

The least helpful radar system yet; Terrible level layouts; many (and I mean MANY) useless rooms and areas.

SummaryNew Legends™ is a third-person action game setting man against militia, in a world of tomorrow where both technology and tradition blend to create a rich, and threatening world. It's a thrilling combination of mysticism and machines, of religion and aggression, of blades and bullets.
