X-Men Legends
www.Ign.com
X-Men Legends also known as: X-Men RPG X-Men: Legends The first 3D action-RPG based on the popular Marvel characters, X-Men Legends challenges players to master the attributes of their favorite X-Men by creating, customizing and controlling teams of four mutants in real time. Assuming the role of more than a dozen popular Super Heroes, each with individual mutant powers and fighting skills, including Wolverine, Gambit, and Storm, players lead teams of mutants as they battle the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and other Marvel villains on a quest to stop the extinction of mankind and determine the fate of the world. A World that Fears and Hates You Legends begins with the government abduction of Allison Crestmere, better known as Magma. The young mutant's powers have just begun to emerge. She's scared, confused, and in need of assistance -- you know, the norm for muties that attract the attention of the X-Men. Not only does the government want to get their hands on the out-of-control mutant, so does the Brotherhood, a group of mutants who take the opposite approach to Xavier, one of violence and aggression. Why the Brotherhood is so interested in Magma is a mystery, one you'll discover when you play the game yourself when it ships later this month. The first level takes place on the streets of New York. To help get players accustomed to controls, a single character is available at first, Wolverine. The world's most famous Canuck (sorry Gretzky) gets about 15-20 minutes of solo time, tackling humans and tussling with the blue-skinned minx, Mystique. Eventually you begin collecting a team and by the end of the level have four full-fledge X-Members. This means that the awesome four-player co-op doesn't really function at its fullest in the first level, but don't worry, beyond the initial introduction (which is an immense level) you'll be able to select any unlocked X-Man to form your four-person team. The story, written by Man of Action -- a group consisting of a few comic book writers who know their X-history -- doesn't take place in regular X-Men continuity. Instead, it's an amalgam of different X-Men backgrounds, taking bits from different storylines to create its own universe, somewhat in the same way that the X-Men movie universe was created. The character designs are generally modeled after the Ultimate X-Men comics, but there are also numerous unlockable classic outfits, including at least five alternates for Wolverine. In this universe, the mutant crisis has been in affect for a while and the X-Men are not some new group. Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Jean Grey, Wolverine -- they're all old school guard at this point, with some new blood, such as the effervescent Jubilee, added in for spice.

Yeah I've been following this for a while, being a massive fan of the X-Men Universe I can't wait for this to come out. It doesn't look the greatest but frankly I don't care. It's the X-Men.

I agree it doesnt look the best but being that its X-men Ill buy it as well. It kinda looks like its set up like Gauntlet: Dark Legacy which is cool and being that its multi player that makes it just as awsome. |
