-Layout
In the first stage you start out with just Wolverine. Then as move along through the extremely long stage, you gather 3 more mutants. In the next few stages you will find the rest of your campanions.
As I said before the stages,all of them, are very long. I love this aspect of the game because it makes it more challenging and interesting. There are, however, save points throughout them which is good. At these points you can, of course, save the game, but you also can switch out the X-men in your party so that you do not have to stay with the same 4 all through the stage.
Do not be fooled! This game will be more of a challenge than you may expect. If you think it is going to be an easy, leisurely game like most of the other X-men games(No offense, I loved those games)then you would be wrong. There is so much more to X-Men: Legends. It is just a great all around game.
I would recommend getting it for sure. It is definitely at the top of my list, along with Zoids: Battle Legends(GC).

The game I've been waiting for...

After watching the first X-Men movie I remember thinking- why doesn't someone make a game where the player can control a group of X-Men and utilize each of their unique skills to complete missions? Apparently, the team at Raven where thinking the same thing and the game they have given us with Legends is a real jem! X-Men: Legends is an action-RPG. It's a genre made popular by PC games such as Diablo. For those who've never played an action RPG, In short- it's a combination of arcade action with the longetivity of roll-playing. The majority of the game plays like an action arcade game, but at the same time you're collecting money, items and gaining experience points. As your characters advance they "level up" and eventually the begin to gain extra combat moves and abilities. As with other RPG (Roll Playing Games) you can buy and sell items.

The action-RPG genre is hands down the best choice for any combat driven mythology.X-Men Legends is an excellent example of when this works. As a result of solid design and excellent use of a license, this is the X-Men game to have. I would love to see a Star Wars, Star Trek or even Transformers based action RPG (a G1 Transformers based action-RPG would be a dream come true).

Because the multi-player mode was added in as an after thought, the game plays best as a single player game and increases in difficulty the more human players you add. If you plan to play four-player mode, expect to invest a large amount of time getting everyone on the team up to speed and working togeather (you'll have to use strategy, the AI controlled X-Men sure do).

Overall a very fun and challenging game for all fans of X-Men.

Not Yet Released But Looks Good

Okay i no this item hasnt been realsed yet but i have heard a lot of information about it and it looks amazing. The first X-men RPG follows the storyline of a young mutant named Allison Crestmere (Magma) as she is discovered and rescued by the X-men. The game features 15 playable characters (Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Iceman, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Rogue, Beast, Colossus, Magma, Emma Frost/White Queen, Professor Xavier, and either Jubilee or Angel) you assemble a team of four mutants and can easily switch between controlling them while the game controls the other three. You fight popular marvel villians including Magneto, Mystique, Toad, Juggernaut, Blob, Sabertooth and Avalanche. Along the way you also meet atleast 13 characters relevant to the X-men universe who help you out including Havok Multiple Man and Moira McTaggert. A must have for X-men fans like me. This item is available for Gamecube, X-box, and Playstation 2 it is rated T (teen) for blood and violence. Playble for between 1-4 gamers.

Best X-Men game out right now

X-Men Legends is the first true X-Men RPG for video game systems, and it certainly doesn't disappoint. You control 4 X-Men at once, and battle against The Brotherhood(Mystique, Blob, Magneto and more). X-Men in the game include- Wolverine, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Jean Grey, Gambit, Rogue, Jubilee, Nightcrawler and many more. Besides the main story mode, there is the danger room, concept art, comic book covers, and tons more fun stuff.

This game is multiplayer FUN

First off, I'm a long-time fan of the X-Men. I've always loved it, though I had to stop the comic book habit about ten years ago when the costs of keeping up with it interfered with pesky things like rent. (Heh) I've never stopped enjoying the X-Men universe though, nor it's characters. So when I hear that there was finally a *good* X-Men game out, I was super interested.

This game was just fun. I got it for Christmas and myself, my boyfriend and another friend played together. We just finished it tonight. We're pretty casual gamers, but we could easily lose three or four hours in a stretch on the game without realizing it. You just want to keep going.

The mutant powers are fun. And building them up and seeing how high they get is great. My favorite character has always been Jean Grey and she's always either missing or terribly underpowered in previous X-Men titles. This one, she can really build up and be a strong character on her own. By the end - we spent a lot of time in the Danger Room gaining experience to max out our characters to level 45 (though you can't fully max out all skills you can come darn close) - I could fling just about anything with the telekinesis, use the psionic scream to push, damage and stun enemies not only in all of my room, but through nearby walls, fly, carry another person when I flew and even shield myself and all my team mates. Super, super fun for an always underrated character.

I wish there were more games like this. Multiplayer and just plain *fun.* Yeah, some moments were hard and we didn't know what we were doing wrong, but it felt good to figure it out and get past it. Thankfully, a sequel has already been announced and the ending hints at who the Big Bad will be in it. Sign me up; I'd love to have more of this to play.

This game is really best as a multiplayer experience so get together with your friends and have something to regularly look forward to playing. You'll really enjoy it.

X-men Legends is an entertaining game

This game is extremely good with good graphics and great story but unfotunately is lacking some elements that would have made it much better. First off you can't replay levels after you beat the game which basically means you have to do a seperate save at the beginning of each level which is annoying. Also one of the x-men universe's best villians, magneto is incredibly easy to beat which I found annoying considering how he alone has beaten teams of 10 x-men by himself easily before. But outside of other minor flaws this game was very enjoyable with almost all the levels being fun to play outside of the morlock tunnels.

This a X-Men games for the generations!!!

Of course I only mean for solid gamers cause if your a giver upper like my friend take a second about getting this. My advice is you should rent it first, but for me renting a game is spoiling the suprise. This game took me total of 2months. I didn't give up though. The plot is amazing follows the story froms different types of X-men comics to make for an amazing tale of legends. The Graphics I like cell shading I don't know about everbody, but they sure did capture the X-men look and feel right down to wolverines fury. If your looking for super fast attacks and speed I won't say this is perfect, but the gameplay is pretty fast. The attacs remind you just of X-men and there qualites and iceman is over used. The game could of last longer. It will only take you about 30min to get use to the controls. So if you like X-Men and wan't to take them home get cause with all famous characters, and the great story this will give you a blast.

X-Men Legends is the kewlest ^_^

There is only but one word to describe this game... TOTALLY AWESOME! I give this game a 5, count 'em, five star rating! (unlike that jerkwad Leon W. Blocker) But anyway, I was checking this game out on the website with all the previews and short clips of actual game play footage and all that other good stuff. The graphics are awesome with the cell shading because it makes the X-Men stand out more from the back ground and the dialogue is kool. This is probably the best game for the NGC! (until the new Zelda comes out). But i don't think that the powers should be on a gauge, except when you do special moves. but the normal moves shouldn't have to use up the gauge. But other than that, i give it a tumbs and big toes up!

Awesome Game

I am a X-Men fan and this game was more than I had even hoped for. It's definitly the best X-Men game so far. I hav'nt beeten it yet but it's still really cool. My ideal team is Storm, Magma, Rouge and Jean Grey.

X-Men fan of the 1980s

As a 34 year old, I am old school when it comes to the X-Men. I liked Prof. Xavier's second team (Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Banshee, etc.), but I also liked the original 5 members. Well, this game satisifies me on both those levels and I still haven't finished it.

My daughter (6 years) loves it as well. She has been a Nightcrawler fan since seeing X-Men 2 and has Nightcrawler on every mission she ventures out on. I, myself, have come to realize that you pretty much can not venture out without Cyclops and Iceman...their mutant powers are often required to overcome environmental obstacles and in some cases, the scenes have time limits - making it a hassle to go back to the save locations, where you can change teams. You'll find Wolverine will probably always be on your team as well...he's just that good of a fighter. Currently, I do not have Colossus (my childhood favorite) as a selectable member. I generally find Storm or Rogue fill my 4th team member spot best for me. I do play all characters though routinely, as I build up their levels. Magma, so far, only goes on training room missions, but MAN is she a pretty cabable character.

You'll probably love the 4 special power features each mutant has. I know I literally experimented one day with each character to see what they all were. Nightcrawler can turn invisible, Rogue can drain the enemy, Wolverine can go berserk, Storm can send various weather problem to one side of the room...etc.

The game is fun, but I find it really easy. Mystique, Blob, Toad, and the Sentinels were beat in a heartbeat by me. I will admit Pyro put up a pretty good fight and actually killed two of my team members, but don't freak out...they can be revived. While the game is easy for me - it is far from that for my 6 year old. I find myself virtually playing for her...but I am not complaining - lol.

Easy or hard...I highly recommend this game. It's great!
