X-Men Legends

Anyone else got this game? I'm sure other people have it considering the number of comic book and video game fans here

I think it's a fantastic game. Best X-Men game I've ever played, playing co-op with other people is great too when you get a good team going

What's everyone's favourite team?
Mine is Gambit, Cyclops, Storm and Wolverine because they give a good range of attacks and skills. The only problem is when you need to have a bridge built really

I've never played the game so I couldn't really say. From what you've said it sounds real cool.

I LOVE this game. It's probably the best X-Men game since the old school sidescroller of the early 90's. It feels like a beat 'em up (which I like) combined with several RPG elements. Almost like a more advanced version of River City Ransom.

My favorite team is Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Wolverine, and Jean Grey. Nightcrawler's teleportation skills are just too sweet, and he can access hidden stuff that can't otherwise be reached. Cyclops is killer when you max out his optic blast, and he gives bonus experience points for combos. Wolverine's healing factor is awesome when maxed out, and the guy is perfect for frontline fighting. Jean is great for disarming strong enemies from a distant, and her psychic scream allows the rest of the team to take advantage of stunned opponents. Oh, and her flight ability helps out a lot whenever you come to a broken bridge. Just pick up fellow team members and drop 'em off on the other side.

I can't wait for the sequel... There are rumors that Angel and Shadowcat will be joining the cast.

I suppose bridges wouldn't be a problem for me if I actually spent points on Storm's flight skill

Which X-Man do you generally play as? I use Gambit mostly because of the wide radius of the staff slam attack and his general all-round usefulness. But if there's just one big enemy that needs taking out I'll use Cyclops and the big optic blast.

My team has Gambit because of the staff slam/detonation attack and he's quite good at melee too. Cyclops because of 'leadership' to gain more XP and the oh-so powerful optic attack. Wolverine because he's great at melee and can heal himself and Storm because she's good for getting combos, I need another ranged energy attacker and she also has 'leadership'

I like playing as Gambit sometimes because he's one of my favorite X-Men. I agree that his staff slam is a good way to clear a room. But most of the time, I find myself playing as Cyclops. I think it's easier to perform combos when using Cyke because his optic blast can be executed quickly while teammates are in the middle of doing their super moves. Great way to rack up XP.

I always find for combos they leave a couple of seconds to get both moves in. Especially with Storm, you hear the thunderclap, the enemy's hit and then you staff slam and you get your combo. I love Colossus' knockback too, that's just fun

I need to play this game... but I don't have the money to buy it.

My girlfriend actually just bought me the PS2 version of this game (Mostly so she could see it, she's a huge X-Men fan) and I'm totally in love with it so far.

Watch out before you buy it- It has a weak ending and gets very glitchy at times with Storm and/or Jean Gray doing mutant attacks (PS2 version anyway).

[raphael_is_cool]

On the Xbox version I find it only lags on the Avalanche and Sabertooth boss fight. But I guess that's kinda understandable: 6 mutants all fighting it out on rocks with lava around, billions of energy flashes and things and one mutant just happens to be making the whole ground and everything shake
