Product Description
Legendary is a first person shooter for PC and next-generation consoles. Developed by Spark Unlimited, Legendary tells the story of a thief – Charles Deckard - who is duped into stealing the mythical Pandora’s Box. Like Pandora before him, he cannot resist the temptation of finding out what’s inside. By opening the fabled device, he unleashes hordes of creatures thought to be merely the imaginings of our ancestors. However, murderous werewolves, unstoppable gryphons and other creatures of ancient lore prove all too real as they wreak havoc across an unprepared modern world.Product Details

Customer Reviews
Average Game nothing new but not horrible, meh!
This game doesn't really do
much to stick out, its graphics are standard second tier, like Fall of
Liberty, but not as bad as the other reviewer claims; HL2's graphics are
still better than 90% of current games so there's no comparison there
but I'm positive they are better than HL1's with some genuinely cool
looking creatures such as a giant made out of different objects like
cars, fire hydrants and other things in a busy NY street.
Story:
Well this is somewhat muddled centering around the mythical Pandora's
Box opened in the modern world and the consequences that ensue. You can
read the summary of it elsewhere but I didn't find it all that engaging
or interesting, usual get framed stuff and try to get out of it. There
seem to be mythical bad guys scattered in this game like gryphons and
others that seem just thrown in. Of course you have your buddy on the
radio keeping you updated with story info and other things. You also
have standard PDA that you can get info and objectives from as well as
picking up dropped data scattered in the levels, I haven't really used
it though.
Gameplay: This is a no surprises type of shooter with
the occasional environmental puzzle mixed in to get to your next
objective think HL2 but not as sophisticated. This seems to have a sort
of Bioshock-esque infected hand weapon that you get from grabbing PB in
the first scene and you use this to fight the mythical bad guys as well
as the human bad guys. I've played the first level and you use it and
recharge it by killing the baddies and getting their energy or something
like that, the discharge from your hand doesn't go very far but it is
used to stun the baddies and then you finish them off with your other
weapon, either a melee axe or a firearm, you can also carry
molotovs/grenades. I'm not sure if there is an upgrade system to this
like in Bioshock. The guns are pretty standard fair in both sound and
look. You can find where you are supposed to go next by pressing the Q
button and it will popup. You seem to be an expert at using a bypass to
get past electronically locked doors of all kinds simply by using the E
button to pop open the keypad and reroute power and it seems most doors
are like this. Also you use E to turn valves and do other general
actions, again pretty standard. Nothing hugely wrong though.
Graphics:
Like I said these are generally second tier level with the some things
being better than average. I didn't find the environments anything that
special, the humans are not very good even in the cutscenes and the bad
guys are nothing special either. Most of the textures are bland and not
well detailed, but they are not horrible either. I wouldn't say the pics
shown here are really that representative of the actual in game play,
but almost none in a sales brochure are for any game.The water is not
the type of advanced level you see in a Crysis or the latest Tomb Raider
and neither is the fire. I don't think there is any atmospheric fog or
any of that type of thing in this game. Again it's pretty unamazing
stuff that could be said to be a step up from Far Cry 1's or Fall of
Liberty but it's hard to compare a game that's colors are dark to a game
that has bright colors like FC's. Some of it seems like an afterthought
such as the museum statues are pretty bland and not detailed much and
the cars are about the same way as well as the usual bland drums and
boxes scattered about.
Sound: This was also par for the course,
not really that immersive but the rock music let's you know that this is
mostly a run and gun action game and is fast paced most of the time. I
didn't find the music too much to handle though and it's not always
blaring just when you are in an action heavy sequence like COD4's rock
music gave you that urgent feeling. The weapons are all pretty generic
sounding to me.
Value: Again I've only played through the first
level that takes place in the museum, the streets, and the subway so I
can't say how long this is. This game like many others seems like they
just wanted to put something out there knowing that it was nothing
special but it was cheap to produce so they didn't need to do too much
to turn a profit. This game is already lost in the jungle of many games
coming out and probably will stay there. Based on the unremarkableness
of this game it's of course not worth it, it's worth twenty-five to
thirty dollars brand new or around there. For the full fifty bucks or
less you can get an exceptional game like Deadspace, COD, Gears of War,
Brothers in arms, Crysis, Tomb Raider Underworld, HL2 and others.
If
you want a standard FPS with nothing really innovative but a decent if
uninspiring play through this would probably work. Again this shouldn't
be considered at anything above thirty bucks brand new but you could
probably wait a month and get it for even less than that. There don't
seem to be any major flaws in the game and it does entertain but it's
not a top tier game in any sense, I can't see playing this through more
than once and there are so many excellent games both new and not new
that you could pass this by and not miss much.
Great Game!!!!
This game was better than
what I expected.I have been wanting this game after I first seen the
trailer for it a while back.I did not see too many good reviews about
the game.So I waited played the demo. which then made me purchased the
full version.If you like Half Life,Painkiller games and the Underworld
movies you will like this game.If you have a good video card and crank
the resolution up the game has some nice visuals and graphics.The only
bad pick about the game and why it did not get a full set of stars is
the save system.It uses check points and you can only start from the
last saved check point.I wish game creators would get away from this
type of save system and just let you save your game whenever you need
to.If you don't mind that minor flaw about the save game system pick
this one up and have fun blasting werewolves and other demon creatures.
Pretty Fun Game
Although i agree with one
other gentleman on here, where he says this game
doesn't really
justify $50, i still think this game is pretty fun.
The graphics
are powered by the unreal engine, and i personally think they look
pretty good, even running on medium settings. I also find the story to
be interesting and different.
I also love the look of mass chaos
in the game, makes it seem like everything is falling apart.
So
all in all i think it is a good game worth playing. I would wait till
the price drops a little bit, then pick it up
