how good is xmen legends? I've still got a few more files to go downloading it!
It's awesome... I love it, IMO one of the best games I've played in a long time as far as real-time action RPG's are concerned... I've always been a big fanatic of X-Men games since SNES, and to finally put together a great RPG is like a dream come true...
there are 15 different characters you obtain all together which you can switch in and out of during missions and at some points you will HAVE to to use their powers...
completely destructible environments... i mean you can destroy almost everything. tons of enemies fighting you at once, kinda like the old TMNT: Turtles in time food soldier guys... ah the memories! Upgrading system is very easy to use and has a variety of things to upgrade for each character, also you don't have to worry about using each character equally as characters not in use will still gain exp pts.
A lot of missions like i said i've spent 32+ hours and i'm just now on the final mission... there are very few rpg's anymore that make the time they take to beat worth your money and actually fighting a decent amount... as much as I love movie sequences I hated FFX's loads and load of them.
I will critique the downfalls... the graphics as they are cell shaded make the characters look kinda funny at close up range, but from a distance the environments look great. There are also a few glitches with edge control... sometimes you can push your character off the edge and kill them, so be careful (this is a good point to watch when you have to fly characters across a gap).
Overall the game rated an 8+ and i'd give it an 8.5-9
