Legendary is refreshing after all these poor releases.
The story is simple, taken directly from a 90's action movie. It makes little sense, or it's just well over the top, and it's great! You know instantly than you need some popcorn for this. The game is filled with cinematic moments, and the action is non stop. No, it's not the best FPS and far from it, but in a time where most games fail at keeping you in your toes, this one gives you little time to rest. There is no need for saving ammo, they want to make sure you keep things dead and give you refills almost instantly, and even though I didn't find the game hard, it has its moments where you die.
Sometimes it has some moments some people might think its frustrating, but I find those moments the thing that makes the game what it is. For example there is this Hydra-a-like think in the sewers, and its tentacles can almost insta-kill you, after you passed the whole map with the thing below you, when you are safe something fails and you hit the water. That's the game, if something bad is bound to happen, it happens, you have to kill it all, eat popcorn.
I recommend this game for:
People who like senseless action movies.
"Oh cool!" cheesy scenes.
Action, instead of losing 10 minutes walking around trying to find what to do (*cof* Fallout 3 *cof* (Good game, though. Simply different.))
Humor in obviously clichéd situations, like "We were the only ones who got out of there safe!", then suddenly random mythological creature eats his head. Funny! ;)
I recommend you to try it, and then judge.
