Pros: The action, storyline, the music, the graphically stunning stages, the summons, and Seig's hair.

Cons: Stages are too short, Lord Delacroix is a emo-Sephiroth wannabe, and load times.

Yeah.... it was worth it.

This was actually one of the first games I ever placed a pre-order for. I ordered it, waited for it to come in, picked it up , took it home, opened it, ever so gently placed it into the PS2, turned it on and began to play.... what would turn out to be one of the BEST games I have ever played. The graphics and art work in the game are beyond good. The gameplay is smooth and intense. While not quite as break-neck as some of the Devil May Cry moments , the combat makes you think a bit more, and you are rewarded. The feel of the game is intense and inviting. Worth every penny. Incredible game.

The BEST PS2 Game ever!

I have over 40 PS2 Games and I rate this game the BEST over Devil May Cry, and any other role/action game. I cannot wait for its second version to come out! Must buy!

Come get some

Very addictive - it is in your remit to collect powers with which to go against your adversary and enemy.
Travel various stunning locations upgrading your powers and abilities until your 'legion' is respectfully motivated to kick arse.
Not everyones favourite game but I found the game easy to play and the upgrades easy to follow.
Made it through a second time for alternate end - I got two weeks out of it - with this I am impressed.
Stylish if not long enough.
Don't pass this one by.

Good, but lacking game.

Pros: Chaos Legion is fun, challanges you, has a fairly good story line, and great music.

Cons: Repetitive enemys, poor and anoying voice acting, camera makes you motion sick, the game felt too short, and no stratagy really

All and all it's not a bad game, it's cheap, fun, easy to get a hang of, I wouldn't recomend it for those that like puzzles, but for those that simply wish to beat the crud out of something.

Hope this helps you all.

I LOVE THIS GAME.

It isn't perfect; the story is largely the typical throwaway reason to fight a bazillion demons and monsters...regardless of what other reviews say. However, the gameplay is stylish, unique and deeper than the first few hours suggest.

Chaos Legion was marketed by Capcom as a cousin of Devil May Cry. While the tone and subject of the game suggest similarity, however, the gameplay is a totally different beast. In fact, the comparison probably hurt the game, because reviewers went in expecting a DMC clone rather than being open to letting the game's unique strengths take hold.

Some reviewers have argued that the game is repetitive. This is true only A) at the beginning before the importance and depth of the legions is revealed and B) on easy difficulty. If this game is to be enjoyed, it if for those people looking for a challenge. In that way, it is similar to Devil May Cry. This isn't a game to run through in 8 hours...that might be less than enthralling. The real joy in this game is that of discovery and accomplishment. In fact, the game is so difficult that it has a system much like DMC3 where experience from ATTEMPTS at beating missions can be kept to level up legions.

Your character plays a bit like Dante with maybe slightly less moves. However, depending on the legion he has equipped, he can perform different moves and gain different abilities.

And then there are the legions. The legions are spirits that the main character summons to fight at his side; each one has very unique strengths and weaknesses. Combined with the abilities they add to the main character, which legions are equipped at the beginning of a mission makes a big difference.

The controls for the legions are surprisingly deep...they are by no means simply autonomous once summoned. It takes several hours to understand half of the strategy behind using them and most of the game to master it. Combine this with the ever present challenge of staying alive and you have a very compelling action game. Luckily, the game also features a relatively forgiving checkpoint system.

Of special note are the boss battles, which are very fun to figure out. When you bring down these bad boys, you know you've accomplished something.

In addition, the graphics and character animations are very well done...especially for the main character.

Finally, and importantly, a very impressive soundtrack accompanies the gameplay. Most of it is a mix of techno and chanting/choral work. All in all, it does a SURPRISINGLY good job of elevating the combat and making you and your legions feel like a force to be reckoned with. The soundtrack is so good in fact, that I OFTEN listen to it by itself...probably more than any other soundtrack I own.

I didn't expect much going in to Chaos Legion. The reviews had been mediocre and most people said it was repetitive. And these complaints underline an important point: Chaos Legion isn't for the casual gamer....it's for those in search of a challenge. That said, Chaos Legion is the source of some of my most memorable gaming moments in the past year, and I play a lot of games. For those with the appropriate skill, Chaos Legion is a must play and an absolute steal at most game stores.

"Devil May Cry" meets "Final Fantasy"

While not the best game for the PS2 in the Graphics or Story departments, you'll still find this game oddly addicting. It is a compelling play, though you'll probably only have patience for a single playthrough.

It's time to show you the Abyss of the Darkness.

When you first read the introduction line you may think that the game is bad. Well in case you didn't know ''abyss'' means ''a primeval chaos''. In this case that definition fits this game perfectly. "It's time to show you the Abyss of the Darkness," is also one of the memorable quotes from this game, and is a quote I shall soon not forget. Well here I go...

Story 9/10
I don't want to give out many spoilers here so I'll make it short. You are Sieg, a young knight. Your old friend Victor has turned to the darkness, and has the power to create chaos, and disaster to anything thing he wishes. To do this Victor turns all of these creatures lose to come after Sieg, and his allies.

Graphics 10/10
Wow. Capcom has outdone them selves with this one. The graphics are incredible. First of all the backgrounds, they are so detailed, and lush that you actually feel like you are right beside the character that you are playing as. Now we have the character designs. I must admit that these characters are the coolest looking ones ever created for a video game. The enemies are all uniquely designed and look awesome. I think you should be able to visualize that the graphics are nothing to be let down by.

Game Play 9/10
The game play may look similar to people who have played Devil May Cry, and Dynasty Warriors. However while it is like them, it has a cool twist to it. The twist is that you get to summon legions. Legions are summons that you acquire during the course of the game. Some use Swords, bombs, claws, etc. To go along with that Sieg has a sword, and can slice and dice enemies with it, cool? Oh yeah. Also you play as one of Sieg's allies, Arcia. Now let me tell you something very important about Arcia, she has guns, and an awesome fighting style.

Sound 9/10
To go along with everything else in this game you have the cool tunes to go along with your hacking, and slashing. Oh and the sound effects are incredible also. For example, Arcia's guns sound incredibly realistic. The voice acting is very well done.

Replay 8/10
To tell you the truth the game is so fun you will just want to play it again and again for the fun factor. But then Capcom has put in some extra stuff, such as super mode, and playing as different characters in different levels of the game.

Overall 9/10
Chaos Legion is an incredible game, which no one should pass up. With great graphics, sound, game play, and replay value, Chaos Legion is a near flawless game. Pray for a sequel!

Fair

My title for this review basically states on how I feel about this game. If I can beat a game within 24 hours and not really remember the story then I'm definately not giving it a good review. The game play is too much like Devil May Cry. I must say the cutscenes were good, but that's it. I bought this the day it came out and also beat it the day it came out. If you like repeative, easy games than this is for you.

Well what can i say it's fun but!! it's no classic.........

Chaos legion definitely is a fun game but!! some how i think that this game lacks substance to give it the kind of appeal like a DMC OR MGS , i feel it has no genuine replay value, the graphics are great but!!! after a while it's just a brawlers haven, if this game had came OUT before DEVIL MAY CRY i may have like it a little more but didn't!!! and i can't say this is classic,,, borrow this but don't buy this it's limited, banal, trite and feeble.
it has it's momment but that all try MSG3 laterzzz folks / gamers
