X-Men Legends is the shiznat. Anyone else played this game and loved it? (Or hated it?)

Good game. Can be pretty tough sometimes. I was suprised on how good it actually was.

I currently have the game from Gamefly, but haven't gotten to play it. I just got my XBox fixed and back, and am fully immersed in Fable now that it doesn't crash on me. That and Doom 3 is finally mine. But tomorrow I hope to play some. I'll post impressions if anyone wants them.

I'll I can say is the commercial is fucking funny as hell.

Well I finally got around to playing the game, and I'm glad I did. It's much better than I thought it would be and rather surprised me. I'm not too far in, but the game's really growing on me. Damn, another game I want to buy. Action, RPG, and X-Men fans alike should really give this one a look.

i played a lot of this game when i rented it. so i advise anyone that plays watch out when you throw large objects.

this might have sounded like a joke. but it isn't one. if you throw a large object into a door way it may glitch and get stuck there and then you can't get past. this happened to me and i had to have weezerjedi get past the place i was stuck in his game and then copy his save. it was annoying as hell. if only i had had nightcrawler at the time.

Throwing objects... check

Here's another tip. If you come to an area that has a moving platform or an X icon where you can create a bridge, prepare to lose on of your AI-controlled characters. They absolutely WILL jump to their deaths for no good reason. That said, the developers did at least attempt to code enough sense into the AI to wait for the bridge to be created, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Also, don't be fooled by the game's menus. Though they look like menus and smell like menus... they're not menus. Having a menu implies having a choice to make, so one would think that each time the menu dialog popped up one would be able to pick between at least two options plus the option to cancel. Not so in the Legends world. When you click on the holopanel in the War Room be ready to start at least one mission because sometimes you won't have a choice not to.

The fact that this game could really use a patch doesn't take away from the unmitigated joy of "Eviscerating" a Sentinal with your adamantium claws, but it made it harder for me to stick with it. Still, play it for sure if you're an X-Men fan.
