Finaly Midway realese this one, cant wait to play the final version. I played the E-3 version, and I was prety surprise they actualy pull it off with this one. You get to pick and recruit Knights. Switch from them, give them orders for them to do, while you attack one brige on your own, or take a few knights with you, while the other heros will decapitade and fight for you, perhaps losse their life for the KING! The effects that I saw were pretty good, some nicer than other, but fitting for the spells that they were symbolizing. Second level was tough, even thought it seems liek you can just go and run around to attack armies; if you dont plan how to do it, you are a definate a shiskabob! stragedy is a rule factor of this game. This is the same designer that worked on Command & Conquered, so expect similar, but improved ways to set stragedy. Overal I think this game will be one of those games, that at first looks liek any other game, but once you have your battalion follow you orders to victory, you will be in for great sence of acomplishment. I know I was!

No words can describe this game, it is a MUST have for a PS2 owners. Its graphics are phenominal and controls are easy to lean, but the game play is the best. WARNING, this is a super-addictive game. I would say Legion: Legend of Excalibur ranks right up with games such as Tony Hawk PRO Skater3, GTA-3, GRAN TURISMO 3, and the Final Fantasys. This game is what you bought your PS2 for. Turly, I think a possiable game of the year.

The Most Misleading Title Released in Years

DO NOT BOTHER TO SO MUCH AS RENT THIS GAME!... I bought it, pre-ordered it even, and I have to say this is one of the worst games released on any platform ever!... I'm not even joking. This game is that bad. Seriously, the sprites for this game are microscopic and the gameplay is ackward and redundant. I was seriously disappointed with this title and am writing this review in hopes that someone out there will be spared.

Where is that turbo control...

In short, if you like repeatedly tapping a button over and over again, then this game is for you! If you are really interested, this is a rental at best, only has about 12 hours of playing time. If there is an upside, some of the animation sequences are quite nice.

a game like no others

First of all, I was not sure if I was to give it 3 or 4 stars, But then, in my humble opinion, no game deserve a 5, and it is not the game of the year so... let say 3.5. This game have something that I can't describe. You play it and you say to yourself, why ... am i playing this game! Yet, on second thought, you realise that you can't stop... and that you like it. The fight are simple yet too hard, all you have to do is keep the rythm to do your combo but you can't make the...combo!!! Also, intelligent like you are, you split your team, Gwenevere will protect the town peoples while Arthur will go hunt some barbarians... Slashing time! Can't do the damn combo!! The town's being attacked! Switch to Gwenevere... oh no! no pause to give your orders, damn real-time games!.... I think you get the picture. You've been killed, and now you must restart the mission cause there's no in-game save... but you will start over. You'll not stop until you succeed this mission... then, you'll try the other... just to try it once... nooo... not once! You'll win this one too! Finally, I can't finish this review without saying that the movies are incredible! But beware, if you're a Flanders-like guy or girl, you'll be shocked, cause there's a lot of blood but, that's the way it was in the medieval time and, that's the way I like it!

THE GAME IS GOOD, A STRAIGHT 3 STAR GAME WITH DESENT GRAPHICS GOOD PLAY AND GREAT STORY LINE. But it is missing the ahhh, that a lot of playstation 2 games do have, because your this 1 inch character on the tv screen swinging a sword back and forth calling it a combo. Legion would make an awesome psx one game but not on ps2. So rent it but don't buy it

GREAT GAME WITH A MINOR FLAW

First off I love the Arthurian legend, so this game appealed to me before I started playing it. The graphics are nice, and the strategy in the game is very good. Mission 2 is hard at first, but when you finally master it it becomes much easier. I did get frustrated at first but as I played more, it did get better. It is relatively hard, so if you enjoy a bit of a challenge this game is for you. I like the way you control other characters and can command them to do things, but I wish a bigger party was possible and some characters are better off not being used at all so you need to re-use the same ones. The biggest flaw with this game is how it saves data. You do not get to choose where and when you save, the game autosaves and only works off of one slot. If you missed an item or anything else, you cant go back and are stuck once it saves. If they wanted to do an autosave, the should allow you to re-do missions. Because of the save feature, this game gets 4 stars out of 5.

Could have been better.

It is a great game with lots of potential. I enjoyed it. There are some missions a little harder than others. But all in all it has only taken me a few days to beat it. I would say borrow it or rent it. If you are overseas like me you really have no choice buy it or borrow it, no places to rent. Anyway, enjoy the game I did.

The good, the bad, and the ugly

Well, what to say? I really liked this game. If I had to compare it to other games I would say it is like a combination of diablo and gauntlet legends. In some portions of the game it was repetitious to say the least and in some parts I got so mad I through my controller. But for the most part it was fun all the way around and it was just hard enough to keep me coming back for more after licking my wounds.
