Genre: Role-Playing
The
Brotherhood of Evil Mutants has freed their leader, the
diabolically intelligent Magneto. An unprovoked attack on
mutant-kind by a secret Sentinel army compels Magneto to
plan his most maniacal scheme yet. He intends to use his
mutant superpowers to shroud the Earth in cosmic debris,
blotting out the sun and plunging the globe into eternal
winter. From this chaos the Brotherhood will emerge to reign
supreme over humankind. As the Sentinels continue to wage
worldwide mutant genocide, the X-Men must confront Magneto
and save the earth from certain destruction.
Penned
by former X-Men writers and based on the Ultimate X-Men
comic book series, X-Men Legends blends visceral superhero
action, a dynamic experience system and a vivid, cinematic
story into one of the most thrilling forays into the X-Men
universe yet.
Recruit
your squad of 4 mutants from a team of 15-including Wolverine,
Gambit, Nightcrawler and Storm-and battle evildoers across
a vast, interactive, fully destructible landscape. Switch
among squad members at will and use their unique abilities
for puzzle-solving and combat. Upgrade your heroes' abilities
on the fly. 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.
We
say: Raven Software's last game was Jedi Academy, which
was pretty damn cool. The string of bad games based on the
X-Men license could be over. Could be...
