Game Overview

In this exciting action RPG you will recruit a squad of mutants to take on Magneto who has figured out a way for the mutants of the world to rule over regular humans. With 15 different mutants available to recruit: Wolverine; Cyclops; Storm; and Jean Grey you will be able to create your own X-team. As you make your way through this mission-based game you will be able to level up your characters, such as choosing how you wish to strengthen your characters.

The Bottom Line

The first 3D action-RPG based on the popular Marvel characters, X-Men Legends challenges players to master the attributes of their favorite X-Men by creating, customizing and controlling teams of four mutants in real time. Assuming the role of more than a dozen popular Super Heroes, each with individual mutant powers and fighting skills, including Wolverine, Gambit, and Storm, players lead teams of mutants as they battle the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and other Marvel villains on a quest to stop the extinction of mankind and determine the fate of the world. Combine superpowers to unleash awesome mutant attacks that obliterate all obstacles and enemies in your path. Over 40 fully rendered cinematic sequences illustrate the cliffhanger plot and lead the X-Men into brutal confrontation with the greatest evil mutant-kind and humankind alike have ever faced.
