In a nutshell:
X-Men Legends expands into the whole of the Marvel universe with
a game featuring more heroes, villains and superhero brawls than
a hundred mighty Marvel crossovers.
The lowdown:
It was hardly the deepest action role-player around, but with
X-Men Legends, developer Raven found the perfect balance for most
comic book fans, between simple action and an expectedly
convoluted storyline featuring as many characters as possible.
This is basically the same game turned up to 11, as you initially
take control of Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man and Wolverine
in a battle against Dr Doom and his newfound allies. The graphics
are perhaps not quite as detailed as they could be but the
of the story and the variety of the settings more than makes up
for it. Considering how much the game packs in theres few Marvel
diehards that will be disappointed by this.
Most exciting moment:
Although the game works perfectly well on your own its really
at its best when playing with friends. Depending on the system,
you get both online and four-player options, with each player
controlling a hero. Many of the superpowers can be combined into
a single special move making team work a must (until theres a
fight over a power-up anyway).
Since you ask:
Although all the obvious heroes are included as playable
characters some of the more obscure unlockables include Black
Panther, Daredevil, Nick Fury and Silver Surfer. Theres also
four exclusive characters for the PSP version (including Captain
Marvel and Hawkeye) and more for the Xbox 360 such as Colossus
and Moon Knight.
The bottom line:
The ultimate celebration of the Marvel universe in interactive
form.-HARRISON DENT
