The combat in the game is very entertaining and combine that with a very solid storyline and you have a game that will make any X-Men fan very happy.

This is fan service - and competitive gaming - done right. [Dec 2004, p.84]

Legends has features coming out of its ears - in keeping with the general mutant theme - but you'll need to be a RPG/mutant/comic fan to truly care. That's no bad thing, but this is pretty niche, if sometimes highly enjoyable and surprisingly complex stuff, with some niggling glitches.

"X-Men Legends" is an action RPG that resembles a dungeon-crawler. Each level features expansive environments with hidden areas, shortcuts and plenty of loot. As each X-Men character levels up, you'll be able to upgrade their stats and abilities. Solo mode is enjoyable, but the friendly A.I. doesn't always perform well. It's best to experience "Legends" with other players in co-op mode. The game has a good story, fun combat and plenty of unlockable content. I would rate it with an 8.1 out of 10.

Hidden Gem of 6th gen. Many characters with cool abilities. True successor of X-men TAS

As each character gains experience, you'll be able to upgrade their stats and abilities. Solo mode is enjoyable, but the friendly A.I. will not always perform in the best of ways. You'll get the most out of the game by playing in co-op (with up to three other players). If you're a die-hard fan of X-Men, then you'll love "Legends". I would rate it with an 8.2 out of 10.

One of the best comic games to come along in years … and it's certainly the best X-Men game I've ever played.

The action-RPG element really gave Raven Soft the ability to expand on the characters and give you more control than you've ever had with them.

The fighting is simple, addictive, and enjoyable throughout the long adventure. It's nice to see the X-Men get their due with a game that truly showcases what has made the comics great for three decades.

Legends is a compelling game for those who aren't fans of the license, but it's an absolute must-have for X-Men followers; the bigger the fan, the more you need this game.

Good for fans, but action-RPG gamers probably already have a better game in hand.

How is it possible to make a tedious game about the adventures of heroic mutants with super powers?
