Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
X-Men Legends expands into the whole of the Marvel universe with a game featuring more heroes, villains and superhero brawls than a hundred mighty Marvel crossovers.

The lowdown:
It was hardly the deepest action role-player around, but with X-Men Legends, developer Raven found the perfect balance for most comic book fans, between simple action and an expectedly convoluted storyline featuring as many characters as possible. This is basically the same game turned up to 11, as you initially take control of Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man and Wolverine in a battle against Dr Doom and his newfound allies. The graphics are perhaps not quite as detailed as they could be but the scope of the story and the variety of the settings more than makes up for it. Considering how much the game packs in there’s few Marvel diehards that will be disappointed by this.

Most exciting moment:
Although the game works perfectly well on your own it’s really at its best when playing with friends. Depending on the system, you get both online and four-player options, with each player controlling a hero. Many of the superpowers can be combined into a single special move making team work a must (until there’s a fight over a health power-up anyway).

Since you ask:
Although all the obvious heroes are included as playable characters some of the more obscure unlockables include Black Panther, Daredevil, Nick Fury and Silver Surfer. There’s also four exclusive characters for the PSP version (including Captain Marvel and Hawkeye) and more for the Xbox 360 such as Colossus and Moon Knight.

The bottom line:
The ultimate celebration of the Marvel universe in interactive form.-HARRISON DENT

Great for multiplayer
Fun game, brilliant for multiplayer. Not many games let you go through the story with up to 4 players on the SAME console. Great play, great for the family or for a party. Decent game that isn't over too quickly.

Great selection of characters and good fun single or multi player.
Well, this is the sort of game that is more fun with friends but is still enough fun solo to really enjoy it. the graphics are solid but not breath taking by any stretch of the imagination. The plot is a mish mash of marvel staples thrown together it ties the action along pretty well.
worth splashing out for.

Playing it is awesome with all the different characters like Fantastic 4 and X men.I've got to admit that people say you can't get Daredevil but you can.It takes some money though about £8.50 to download special characters like Docter Doom etc.YOU CAN EVEN UNLOCK INCREDIBLE HULK.


35 Super heroes at least!

Playing it is awesome you can use speciaal attacks like Y attacks

My favourite world is Murderworld

GET THE GAME

Great multiplayer, dull single player
What more could you want from a videogame than dozens of superheroes from the Marvel universe getting together in one game to save the world(s)?! Most of the best are here including Spiderman, Captain America, X-Men, Ironman, Fantastic 4, Thor, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, Blade, Elecktra and many more, but unfortunately some of my favourites such as The Punisher, Dare Devil and The Incredible Hulk are missing for some reason.

That aside, it is a fantastic game where you run around literally bashing everything in sight, so it is not much of a thinking game at all. One of the best things about this game is the end of level bosses which are huge. Also, in one of the levels about halfway through there is an arcade machine section where your superhero is sucked into the cabinet and then has to play through a level of the classic 80's game "Pitfall" to progress.

On single player this game unfortunately gets very repetitive very quickly, but on multiplayer this game is great fun where between 2 and 4 players can team up and go through the main story together.

As a bonus to the main story there are various comic book missions where a selected hero plays out some of their most famous stories from the comics.

Overall this is a good game that is fun while it lasts but there is not really any replay value in it at all.

My son bought this game and he loves it it is great as it is four player co-op and you have a choice of over 20 characters, from people like the Thing, Wolverine, Spiderman, Ghost Rider, DareDevil and lots more. But this game is not only for boys there are also five women characters aswell so even a girl could play.

This game is one of the best co-op games around and this is coming from someone who loves co-op games!!!!! THIS IS A MUST BUY!!!!
