I guess I can't complain to much being I got this game for the price of a value meal from a fast food restaurant. It could've been a free toy in a kids meal and I still would have thought it was lame. And those graphics (MORE LIKE CRAPICS), if I was one of the creators for this game I would have refused it's release. Now I never base my reviews on graphics alone. The gameplay (MORE LIKE LAMEPLAY IN THIS CASE) is the most important factor. Well that's another story.. it's just so lame. LAME LAME LAME!! WHAT A HORRIBLE GAME GAME GAME!!, & WHAT A SHAME SHAME SHAME... This is as bad as getting a fruit cake for Christmas. This game does get an award though, The award for worse game of the year. A lesson was learned here. More times then not.. you get what you pay for.

Has Potential, But Ultimately Disappointing

This game needs work. The graphics basically stink, the sounds and AI are often annoying, and you can't save at specific points. The fighting is okay considering you can execute different moves with different weapons. And it's cool that you have some NPCs to help you through the game. Overall, I didn't find the game that much fun to play...I'm going back to Halo!

What are these peope talking about?

The game didn't come out until today, look at the dates of the reviews. This game is a horrible, horrible game. It's a great exercise in button mashing though. Pretty much throughout most of the game you keep hitting the 'B' button until the enemy dies. Also I had the game crash on me 3-times within the first hour. It doesn't even look that good. It's a good thing I bought the game at Electronics Boutique, I can return the game there. I can't believe they actually put out games like this. And I only gave it one star because the scale doesn't go down to -12. Don't buy this game, rent it if you're really curious, but avoid it like the plague.

i played this game for 5 mins and i loved it

I got this game because the screenshots and previews looked so cool, but let me tell you, the most frustrating thing about this game is there is NO WAY YOU CAN DEFEND YOURSELF when the solders espciallythe tiger claw guys come after you. It's rudimentary and mundame combat sequences. You literally get stomped and jumped at every corner... there are NO DEFENSE mechanisms so if one of those little suckers gets a hit in, you just have to sit there and take the BRUNT of the combos. This makes for a truly frustrating game. The save function [is bad] as it will only save the beginning of the levels that you are playing, so no matter how afr you get in a level and you hit the save function, it will only save back to teh beginning of the level.

This game is all hype, no substance totally ...as bad as state of emergency. Save your money, RENT this game but dont buy.

The game previews looks so cool.

I am kinda mad that this game is delayed.
I thought the whole concept is so cool. I loved the Fear Effect game series. I like how games like that draw inspiration from Hong Kong movies, and chinese legends/fantasies. Can't wait till this game comes out.

Not a great game after all

You've been reading in the other reviews how wonderful this game is especially because of the many weapons the character may wield. Here are the "cons" to this game and they are substantial enough for me to wish I had never bought the game. Combat is elementary, bland, repetitive and, at times, quite annoying. The graphics are not to the level one would expect with Xbox. The story is weak. The most annoying element is the save feature. You cannot save as you go despite the menue and the process leading to this possible conclusion. This ends up being one of the most annoying and aggrevating features of the game. This game is definitly not worth your money. Imagine a worse version of Obi Wan.

Just started playing but am already impressed

New Legends is one of the next round xBox games after
initial launch. The concept of a primitive neo
futuristic china is both compelling and immersive.

The play style is very similar to Obi Wan with
the exception that you cannot kill your allies by
accident, which is a good thing.

The gave is very story line driven and may seem
frustrating in the beginning because you aren't
given a chance to fight the arch villains that are
stomping all over your kingdom.

Initially the combat seemed too difficult until
I learned to fight with a short sword and long sword.
Most importantly is the blocking, this will stop opponents
in mid attack.

Is it worth the [money]? I would say yes to that.

Decent game but rent b4 you buy.

GOOD: Lots of weapons to use; Interesting story; Cool and helpful sidekicks; Neat boss battles; Good character animation; Easy controls

BAD: Graphics are pretty weak compared to other xbox titles; The camera is not very helpful most of the time; Stupid enemy AI (there are cheap ways to beat the 2nd and last boss); Ending movie was too short; Horrible save system

Overall, the story and combat kept me engaged enough to finish this game. I'm not sorry that I bought it b/c I know I'll go back and play the boss battles a few more times cuz they're pretty fun. I would most likely recommend renting the game first to try it as most people either hate the game right away or they get interested in the story and have fun. One last note: the reviewer who says that there is no way to defend yourself in this game is lying, there is a block button that is essential to beating the game.
