Legendary

As we may have discussed before here on X360, 1998 has been scientifically proven to be humanity’s greatest ever year. After all, gamers up and down the land were embracing their Dreamcasts with a sense of Soul Calibur optimism. Happy days. Sadly, borrowing the year’s template for shooters in these enlightened times feels as dated as overheating consoles that break all the time. Wait a minute…
Anyway, during our adventures playing Legendary we found all of the following, adding up to a game that simply doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Constantly spawning enemies. A lead character with no hands. Unskippable cut-scenes you must continually sit through. Solid walls that light can leak through. NPCs that can be shot at, but not harmed. Action sections that feel like a movie you just happen to be walking through, and not interacting with. A majority of action that focuses on what some guy’s doing in a vent shaft rather than the majestic beasts littering major cities. There’s more to tell, but surely that’s enough?
