Not exactly what I had hoped for in the first next-gen X-men title...
This game however I didn't enjoy, No doubt about it X-Men Legends is probably the best X-men game we're gonna get. The game itself takes place after the events of X-men 2 and before the events of The Last Stand, You play as Wolverine, Night Crawler and Iceman. Each of which have their own style of play.
Iceman is always on his IceSlide and often has the larger environments to do battle in, even though his controls are simple and responsive it still gets pretty boring fast.
Wolverine plays like the majority of button bashing games, fighting wave after wave of enemies, although there is little gap between each wave which makes trying to Heal annoying. and just cutting you're way through them , the only problem i really found with Wolverines levels is often you'll be fighting too many enemies at once (or the more difficult settings) for example i was in a situation more than once where there was at least 20 guys standing around me with these shock things, they didn't even have to move and Wolverine was taking damage, at that point there is very little you can do to escape that.
Nightcrawler is probably the best thing about this game, the only levels and character I really enjoy playing as would be him. Teleporting feels free, for him it basically jump from here to there, swing on that, teleport to that destroy that, kill him, kind of thing. And out of all the enemies for Nightcrawler to do battle with whose better than Multiple Man?
The graphics are probably what sold this game, with pretty accurate renditions of each of the characters adding their won voices to it also help sell it.
Overall i do think they could of done a better job and maybe make it last a little longer (some stages will have you stay in one room for 5 minutes and then the mission is over).
Hopefully the next X-men title will be more true to what X-men deserve.
