Strengths: Good gameplay, awesome X-men game
Weakness: Harder in the later parts of the game, Kind of frustrating when playing by yourself.
This is the best X-men game on the Xbox. It is a really fun game, especially when you have 4 players. It is also cool how you can choose what X-men you have in your party. The downfall to X-men legends is that when you play by yourself it is a pretty hard game. It is also not as fun playing by yourself. I am a huge fan of this game, but i put it down for a while and bought it again due to the fun...
Strengths: Multiplayer action , good storyline, RPG elements.
Weakness: Bad character models, not online.
At this game's root is a basic brawler with dungeon crawling elements. But this game is so much more deeper then say a mindless game like Gauntlet and more appealling (due to its' X-men universe and characters) then something like Champions of Norrath. I guess you could say Legends takes the best from both worlds (Gauntlet and Norrath) and fuses them together into a fantastic X-men game. The...
Strengths: Great Co-operative gameplay Responsive controls. Nice graphic style.
Weakness: Not much orginaality. Single player, not nearly as interesting.
As goes with most of these types of multi-player action RPGs, it is always much better with more people. Playing X-men Legends with 4 players is a blast working together and doing co-operative moves. However, playing alone tends to bring out some of the games repetitiveness. The production values are of a much higher caliber than most super-hero fare, however they really just serve to dress up...
Strengths: Good graphics, 4-player multiplayer, good X-Men transition, enjoyable action
Weakness: Not online capable
X-Men Legends is a top-down brawler staring the characters from the X-Men comics. Up to 4 players can play at the same time, though the computer handles all of the characters that aren't run by a person, and control between the characters can be swapped on the fly. It plays like a button-masher in a lot of ways, though it's a fun game throughout. Multiplayer is more fun than single player, though...
Strengths: pretty accurate history and background for each character, good controls and good team mechanics, fun to play w/ friends as a group
Weakness: computer AI for your team mates isn't that bright, graphics are only so-so
XMEN LEGENDS FINALY ANSWERS THE PRAYERS OF MILLIONS OF FANBOYS WORLDWIDE WHO WERE CLAMORING FOR A DECENT XMEN GAME (THE ONLY ONES THAT WERE FAIRLY DECENT WAS XMEN APOCALYPSE FOR THE SNES AND XMEN THE ARCADE GAME). FINALLY, YOU CAN VICARIOUSLY LIVE THROUGH THE COLORED BOOTS OF YOUR FAVORITE XMEN. WILL YOU CHOOSE THE ENERGY PROJECTING TEAM LEADER CYCLOPS, THE MIGHTY BUT LUMBERING COLOSSUS, OR THE...
Strengths: Lots of characters from the comic, cool mutant abilities.
Weakness: No online and the game get's a bit cheap and difficult towards the end.
Xmen legends is an action rpg set in the Xmen universe, The combat is your standard hack and slash with some rpg elements, the mutant abilities are pretty cool, and the story is well done. The voice acting is very good with Patrick Stewart actually doing the voice for Professor X. Buy this game if you like games like Champions of Norrath, and The console Baldur's Gate Series.
Strengths: Multiplayer mode is excellent; character powers and selection are diverse; bright, colorful graphics
Weakness: Gets difficult if in single player mode, especially when the computer-operated players won’t replenish their health quick enough; cut scenes can be long and somewhat repetitive
X-Men Legends is entertaining, but is by far a better game when played in multiplayer. The fighting is very simple, an RPG with similar controls to that of the Champions of Norrath games or Baldur’s Gate. When playing in multiplayer, the characters can combine powers to attack enemies differently, which is cool. The game is long, especially at the beginning with the cut scenes that set up the...
Strengths: Multiplayer, sound, role-playing aspects, cut scene graphics
Weakness: In-game graphics
X-men Legends is a team based game in which you control the X-men to battle some of the fiercest villains in the Marvel universe. The game has an excellent team based mechanic which allows you to take four X-men into battle and use individual strategies for each character in order to take down the forces of evil. The cut-scene graphics are very good and so are the sounds and character voiceovers....
Strengths: great co-op play
Weakness: graphics, some repeatitive play
It has a great co-op, and the ability to play multiple characters at once is awesome. One thing that could have moved this game to the top would be better graphics. The graphics of this game are really bad. The amount of hardware the xbox has means that the game should have been better designed. I would recommend this game to other people.

Let’s face it; good superhero games are very few and far between. With the exception of City of Heroes (NCSoft’s incredibly addicting PC MMO), there hasn’t been a decent team-based superhero game in a long time. However, Raven Software and Activision are looking to change all that with the release of X-Men Legends. Legends takes our familiar uncanny buddies and puts them in a top-down...

Activision is on a roll lately with their superhero games. First Spider-Man 2 and now X-Men Legends. It is nice to see these great franchises get the love and attention they deserve and not just end up as yet more cookie-cutter bargain bin bound crap with a big license attached to it. X-Men Legends is a well put together action RPG that will keep both casual fans and the X-Men obsessed happy. <p>

With mutants, Morlocks, Magneto and Mystique, X-Men Legends stays wonderfully close to its comic book roots without alienating the new bunch bandwagon fans.

I have played some really, really bad X-Men games in my life. There really have only been a couple of good X-Men games throughout the entire existence of home consoles and not a single good one this generation. It's been nothing but disappointment for X-fans for the past few years. Playing Activision's latest, X-Men Legends, is a lot like day 41 for Noah -- seeing the first ray of sunshine after...

X-Men Legends
Strengths: Experience system
Weakness: Graphics aren't so good, but gives comic book feel
This game is actually really good. I've read it was kind of glitchy but I haven't seen any of those glitches. I enjoyed this game thoroughly and the best part is its 2 player cooperative. My roommate and I ran through this game, levelling up the characters and killing all the enemies. It brought back nice childhood memories of the x-men. I'd buy this game again in a second.
