The game is okay at the beginning, but as it progressess it gets more and more boring and you get lost in the ruins. The bosses are kind of cheesy themselves. Plus the graffics aren't that great. But then again its just my opinion.

Games not that great

i dont think this game is great its okay for a regular game but it doesnt meet the expectations you would think mega man deserved. The graphics arent amazing but okay as far as the 3d goes but the textures are terible. The game play isnt that bad its just not worth the money. This game is almost as good as the regular megaman series but its not as good as the mega man x series. this game is good for ages 7 - 12 but if your a teenager or adult get one of the mega man x games.

I recently just rented this game, and I thought the storyline line was great, but the game was too short. But if you take your time(unlike me) you can get some very cool weapons. If you want to get this game, I'd say GO GET IT!

Good, but not really a Mega Man game

In recent years, Capcom attempted to bring their classic Mega Man franchise into the new millennium. They gave the series a complete makeover, in a number of ways, and thus, the Legends series was born. How does this, the first game in the Legends series, measure up? Read on and see.

PROS:
-IT'S A FULL 3D GAME. Many fans of the Mega Man series had long been awaiting such a game, and at long last they have one. Well, sort of.
-THERE ARE TONS OF WEAPONS AND ITEMS FOR YOU TO FIND AND USE. The island where the game takes place is filled with ruins which it will take a good deal of time to explore in their entirety.
-THE STORYLINE IS BETTER THAN SOME PEOPLE MAKE IT OUT TO BE. This is NOT really a Mega Man game, but the storyline the game has is an interesting one nonetheless.

CONS:
-THE BIGGEST CON IS THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE - IT ISN'T REALLY A MEGA MAN GAME! Capcom just used a Mega Man look for many of the characters so that they could sell more games. For shame, Capcom.
-THE GRAPHICS ARE HORRIBLE, EVEN FOR A FULL 3D PLAYSTATION ONE GAME. The characters look like they were made out of paper, and I don't mean that in a good way. The 2D Mega Man games on the Playstation had graphics way better than these.
-THE CONTROLS SUCK. If you want to turn, you have to rotate the camera. This becomes extremely annoying in no time at all. There are also several other control faults.
-THE GAME LEAVES TOO MANY QUESTIONS UNANSWERED. If the series really IS somehow connected to the other Mega Man game series, the game fails to tell you how. Likewise, your character's origin is never explained.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a good game, but it wasn't really what I was hoping for. That's not to say you won't have any fun with it - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you find this game in the budget bin, pick it up. It may surprise you.

It's okay but its not all that

This is an okay game. You play as a boy named Mega Man who was found by an old man(forgot his real name, just call him gramps). But their ship starts falling onto an island named Katalox!That's when Gramps runs into the engine and try to fix the ship. But it is no use. On the island named Katalox Mega Man runs down a trail, but before he does a police car comes. Run back to the ship wreck and talk to the sheriff. He says later, One of you will have to come with us. Gramps answers, he will. Follow the trail which leads you to Apple Market. Sneak up in somebodys conversation and you will get a pass to a door you couldn't get to before. Inside that door is a city. A cut scene will appear. The city is divided into 5 pieces. Apple Market, Downtown, Uptown, City Hall, and Old City. In the Old City watch out for dogs... as they will attack you. Now I'm not going to tell anymore.You'll have to find the rest out by BUYING the game. That should have encouraged you.

I never liked mega man games. This one changed my mind. It is incredibly interactive provides lots of stuff to do and awesome power ups. I get kick out of just walking around in the city areas in the game. In a few words kick *** story, game, powerups etc. The game is worth every last penny. It's great for newbies and experts.

Pull out your buster, put on your helmet and have fun!

I have been a true lover of Mega Man games since the early games on the SNES, but this stands above them all. This game has a story, the other games just had you run through levels with three simple tasks, blow up, pick up, beat up. Legends brings straight into the world of Megaman, along with his family, friends, but no starnge lizard-type bosses.

The game has smooth controls that are easy to use and are very simple. You can walk, run, talk (and if nessecary shoot). The game has a great story where things yo u do affect things in the game. Say you want to get a soda, but don't want to spend the money. You kick the machine to get the drink. But the more you do this, the more people don't like you. But if you do good people with think highly of you.

Now to a thing that alot of people worry about in games: BLOOD. Well one word can tell you the blood factor of this game: ZERO. All enemies are machines, robots, servbots and huge machines controlled by villains called pirates.

Allot of the game consists of you finding things. Such as finding things like a vacum piece will help you build a gadget that lets you suck up items. Also this game feels that weapons should not be allowed in a city. For right as you walk in you weapons go bye-bye. This game is enjoyable because of the thrill of finding things, building new items, and going on missions that you dream of but can't do. (Because when was the last time you saw a red spaceship with a pirate's flag on it?) Unfourtunatley, people with a short attention span will give up when they have trouble figuring out the next mission. Though in the end, this game is just damn great.

To me, Mega Man Legends is one of those games you'll remember years after playing it. The game itself doesn't break any new ground and has its share of flaws, but the overall experience is definitely rewarding.

Mega Man Legends pretty much plays like the earlier Tomb Raider games control wise. Unfortunately, there are a few problems with the control scheme, such as a lock on system that doesn't allow you to move while locked on an enemy (which was fixed in MML2), and the fact you also must contend with moving the camera manually in order to compensate for the lack of a better lock on system to hit your mark.

Legends also uses a pretty similar graphic engine as Tomb Raider as well, complete with all the flat, 2D scenery that rotates with the camera and all the pixilated surfaces and clipping problems that accompanied that era of Playstation gaming. Unlike Tomb Raider, the environments in Mega Man Legends are much brighter and colorful, adding to the games cartoon-like feel, rather than the dark, dank death-trap ridden tombs that Lara Croft raids.

The pretty low difficulty level of the game is also an important factor to look at as well. Considering this game is somewhat geared towards an younger audience, this isn't an error so to speak, but older, more experienced players will fly through the game in a handful of hours (especially considering most of the game bosses can be defeated by constantly circling around them and firing). Thankfully, Capcom added an unlockable difficulty setting to make the game harder for those looking for an additional challenge (oh and is it ever a challenge). Add to this Capcom increased the difficulty on Mega Man Legends 2 a few notches, and all can be forgiven here.

So with all these problems, why is Legends such a good game? Heart, and lots of it. Mix in a good story, a wonderful cast of characters (and enemies), and throw in some of Capcom's more respectable forays in voice acting department, and you got a winner. While some may claim that Legends carries a "kiddy tone", I actually find this to be one of the game's charms and strengths. Honestly, if you don't laugh when one of the Lego Men, err, I mean Servebots messes up and angers Tron, there is something wrong. Seriously, it isn't anymore kiddy than a Mario or Zelda game (or most of Nintendo's gaming library for that matter).

The other thing that makes the Legends series so great is the fact Capcom decided to quit while they were ahead. While I myself still wish they would churn out a Mega Man Legends 3 (considering some of the unresolved issues in Mega Man Legends 2's ending), at least Capcom didn't make a zillion sequels and drain the series of all it's fun and respectability, of which they have done a fine job of doing to the original series and X series.

In the end, Mega Man Legends is not a game you'll remember for amazing graphics, razor-sharp control, or challenging quests. Instead, you'll walk away with a overall memorable experience.

The original "blue-bomber" is back !

This is the continuing story in the "Megaman" series but, with an all-new plot . Megaman must duel w/pirates, reaverbots etc. to save an imperiled island, while trying to find the mysterious Mother-Lode, which is a powerful treasure . I really liked the voice dubbing in this one . The weapons are awesome, the acting is PERFECT, and the mini-games are nicely done .(not to mention the missions) if you thought "Megaman" 1-9 was hard, just wait until you try this one ! p.s. Also be sure to check out "Megaman Legends 2" !

Capcom makes a Mega Man that works!

Mega Man Legends is a great game. Its long, it has good audio,and it's fun. Witch to me is the most important part of a game. It's only bad points are the graphics(it's 3d inviorments,but 2d figures.)Another bad thing is the controls witch take a while to get used to. Except for that,the game is a keeper and I highly recomend it.
