x men legends

[Daredevil]

Does anyone know when this game is coming out??

[sleepindeath]

I have no idea, but I would not mind picking it up for my PS2. The game looks like it has potential to have a high fun factor. What is it like, you can have control of 4 X-Men at once. Now that could lead to some interesting game play.

[abarron]

I can't remember where but i heard spring 2005

[oxgambit]

I talked to the guy at EB and he said either the 23rd or the 25th of Spet. So soon.

[homerthegreat]

Spet or Sept?

:p

[Tattoo-S]

You guys might want want to wait, this close to X-mas, and a PS3 coming out, You might get a better deal, and or a better game. :)

[Tao]

PS3 is at least a year a way, probably 2. PSP is what is coming out early next year.

[sleepindeath]

TAO...What the hell is PSP?

[abarron]

PSP is Sony's handheld console. Its gonna be SOny's version of the gameboy.

Other than that i don't know a lot about it

[Gladiator Max]

Saw this being played at the SD Con and it looked awesome!! :thumbs2:

[Justin]

Just in case people were curios about the game
" X-Men: Legends Release Date: TBA

Penned by Man of Action, a studio of comic industry veterans, X-Men: Legends begins with the rescue of a young mutant and takes players through an engrossing plot that could unite mutant-kind, yet destroy the human race in the process.

Along the way, players will be able to assemble their ideal X-Men crew from over 15 of the most popular characters from the last 40 years, including Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Gambit and Beast, to name a few.

However, before players load-up their squad with heavy hitters, they will have to take their foes’ abilities into consideration as certain situations may benefit from the abilities of specific X-Men. While Cyclops’ optic blasts and Colossus’ immense strength are great for clearing a path through hordes of enemies, players can opt to bring Wolverine and Nightcrawler along on a stealth intensive mission to help circumvent detection devices.

Once the action begins, players can take control of any member of their squad and even execute multi-character combinations such as the famous Wolverine/Colossus Fastball Special. As they progress through the game, characters will gain experience points that players can use to upgrade the X-Men’s abilities and even learn new fighting styles.

Four-player co-operative mode is also planned, allowing multiple players to partner-up in X-Men: Legends. With dynamic joining, new players can join the adventure at any time, or gamers can take a break and pit their heroes against each other in the X-Men’s famed Danger Room."
i got that from nintendo.com.au

[Daredevil]

Looks like a MUST BUY!!

[grendelscott]

PS3 is 2006 (or maybe a surprise 2005 holiday surprise).

Alright Gladiator, PM me that site you got that avatar from. Just curious, not looking to replace mine... :D

[Perna]

I guess I'll be buying a PS2 and X-Men Legends soon :D

[JetBlackMac]

I was at EB today to pick up Madden for the pc, so I asked about legends.
The clerk said Sept. 22, so next week.
Also its for all platforms except the pc.

The PSP is going to be a whole lot more than Sony's verion of the Gameboy. The buzz on this is just phenomenol. Very cool, very powerful. Basically a PS2 that you can carry around with you. The graphics are supposed to be excellent. I'm gonna preorder one of these as soon as they put them up. I believe it is scheduled for release around March 2005

[The General]

The PSP looks great. Hey I heard the release date for X Legends is the 24th of this month.

[abarron]

According to www.play.com X-men Legends is released on 1st October here in the Uk so you guys in the states will most probably get it earlier

[Tattoo-X]

Does anyone know about the promo cards for the X-Men Legends game?
I NEED some.
Probably get the game too. :thumbs2:
Although it will probably just sit on the shelf with the other Marvel games.

[sleepindeath]

According to EB, it will be available in Canada(Toronto) on Sept 23, 2004.

In addition to needing these promos which may come in the game, I heard it was made by Activision...and I also heard it was scheduled for release near the end of Sept. So could be any day now. Often activision inserts the cards into the game box. If anyone buys this and has no use for the cards, we would be interested. Thanks

Tat S, you collect cards?

[Zurbaran1]

Tat S, you collect cards?

Uh, just where exactly have you been?

[sleepindeath]

hey Tatt, I most likely will be picking the game up. If there happens to be a card I'll PM you regarding it.

[Tattoo-S]

hey Tatt, I most likely will be picking the game up. If there happens to be a card I'll PM you regarding it.
That would be most appreciated, I did some research this morning. The game has either been released, or someone kyped some cards, (unfortunately the auctions had already closed) the promo sets are 5 cards each, and (I assume) they will be inserted.

I collect many different kinds of cards from all over the world, but my primary collection is Marvel Comics. You can PM any time you like. If you shop at Target buy the Marvel gift cards to use for purchases and I would be grateful for those cards as well. PM for any further details.

Thanks Bud....

[Perna]

Uh, just where exactly have you been?
I've been right here. Why? :rolleyes2

[MONSTER]

Not everyone has time to read every post like you do Zurb. ;)

[Zurbaran1]

I've been right here. Why? :rolleyes2

I love you man!

[Zurbaran1]

Not everyone has time to read every post like you do Zurb. ;)

Well, it is my job after all. That's why they pay me the big bucks.

[Perna]

I love you man!
Right back at you............I think :D

[Perna]

I was just flipping through my recent issue of Wizard and they have screen shots from X-Men Legends. It looks really cool, but my one beef about it is that it's the Ultimate x-characters and not the mainstream ones. Does anyone know if you can chose the regular versions of the characters instead of the Ultimate versions?

[Tao]

PlayStation Portable

Think PSP level graphics on a handheld device about the size of a TV remote. Plays Universal Media Disk, so will support great games and cinematics as well as CDs, DVDs and MP3s. Hot Spot enables for access to content, browsing and multiplayered games.

Battery life needs to be improved from the projects 1.5 hours, but the systems will rock.

Expect the price to be better than hoped for too. I hear $299....

[Tao]

Perna,

There will be classic version of the characters, as well as unlockable costumes.

Basically, the Ultimate versions are the looks of the characters, but the story covers the entire X-Men history.

As the game progress, some the levels are "flashbacks", which will have the X-Men in their Original costumes!!!! Or some in the ****rum era ones too!!!

I played this at E3. I think comic fans will be happy.

[Perna]

Thanks Tao, that's good news.

[Tao]

Wow, a moderator or something thought my listing of Dave ****rums name was a bad word.

Or is Rocky here now too? ;-)

[d rod]

Tao,
That's automated, not a mod. It takes certain words and however they are used, replaces them with "*". It doesn't know how it's used, just does it. This eliminates from mods having to check for so much. Sticks is some aspects but you have to take the good with the bad, i guess.

[Daredevil]

Anyone got the game yet??

[Perna]

I need to get a PS2 first...........

[ashley76]

Just saw a commerical on TV about it. If the commercial is any indication of how good the game is then this thing is going to rock.

[Tao]

All,

Just got the game and I am floored. The cell shaded animation is perfect! Easy to play and tons of goodies hidden in the game like X-Men trivia you can play when not on missions to earn more experience.

Very classic RPG on console controls, but with lots of action.

Great voice acting, they even got Patrick Stewart to reprise Prof X.

I would give 9 out of 10 to this, but I have only gotten into the first few levels. It may not hold up well in the long haul, like Spider-Man 2 didn't, but the intial experience is awesome.

[Perna]

Tao, sounds like it's a great game so far. Keep us posted.

[sleepindeath]

All,

I have opted to rent the game first...for one full week. As of yet, I like it very much. So, far The Brotherhood has eaten my fist more then once.

Most likely will purchase it.

[Tao]

Brotherhood is kicking my collective spandex butts all over the place too.

Took Pyro out pretty easy, but the Brotherhoold Marauders on the ice tunnel levels are just beating me with a pimpcane.

Still, love the game and think it will be a classic for comic fans.

[Tattoo-S]

I have a minor update on these cards......Apparently they were a promotion to pre-order the game. I don't know which one, and counldn't even guess, as I have none near me, but some video game store mostly found in malls had them as a pre-order promo. Anyone who purchases from a store like this, should be sure and ask if they have any more or if the promotion is still running. I understand that the game is to be released any moment now. Late Sept. I think we are there.......3 mo. till X-mas....:o better start thinking of other maybe by then we will all be a little less selfish? :)

[Car50n]

i have the game and have done a pretty good job so far. i've gotten to the first 'flashback' it's awesome. the classic costumes look sweet, green phoenix and sentinels, 'nuff said.

my biggest recommendation, SAVE OFTEN.

[sleepindeath]

Yep. save often.....Morlock tunels...enjoy.

[Zurbaran1]

My kids got me Star Wars Battlefront earlier this week for my Bday and I picked up the X-Men Legends game the other day, both for Xbox. Now if I can find a little time I'm gonna sit down with these two. They both sound like some good solid fun.

[abarron]

Yeah would like to see how Battlefront is before i buy it as i wont be playing it online so want to know what the single player levels are like

[ashley76]

Anyone got anymore info on X-men legends? I am going to get it next week but, I want to know if it is worth it. Is it good like Final Fantasy good or is it just good but, not Final Fantasy good?

[Car50n]

nothing is Final Fantasy good. this is a real time action RPG. at times it's almost it's almost arcade-ish. but there are a lot of strategic elements. if you're a fan of the X-Men comic History, this game is great. it incorporates elements from throughout, from 1963 to the Ultimates.

PS. they wear Ultimate style uniforms for most of the game, but the old-school uniforms are used during 'flashback' missions. and the story reads like an Uncanny book.

[Tao]

So far I really like the game, but I do have a problem with the inconsistent use of the voice actors.

The voice talent is very good, especially after dealing with Spider-Man 2. However, sometime the characters talk, usually between missions, but in mission sometime the voices are used, sometimes not.

Minor peev, but should be noted.

Graphics rock and the flashback sequences are fun. Good use of your dollars overall.

[oxgambit]

Hye is anyone else having trouble beating Marrow? i have tried a couple of times and can not seem to beat her. It may be because I do not have many health packs but she is just a pin to beat. Any suggestions?

[bigjohn550]

She killed three of my four players (including Wolvie). In the end I just started blasting the crap out of her with Storm's lightning strike.

[bigjohn550]

By the way, if you hit her with that lightning strike from a safe disatance she stand there and take it until she dies.

[Daredevil]

This game sounds difficult!

[sleepindeath]

It can be difficult if you do not level up all your characters. I mean for myself Jean happens to be my most powerful character so far. Heck, I do not even like her. But, her powers have come in handy so far.

[bigjohn550]

Right now my most powerful character is Rogue. But, I still haven't unlocked Colossus.

[oxgambit]

By the way, if you hit her with that lightning strike from a safe disatance she stand there and take it until she dies.

Thanks for the hint bigjohn550. I tried with Storm, Cyclops, Wolvie and I think it was Rogue and Marrow has beat me like 3 times. I will try your advice soon.

So how is Gamibt once you rescue him?

[Car50n]

Gambit is 'ok.' his cards are as lame as iceman's icicles his power. don't know if they become more impressive as u level up.

i'm kicking myself, i think i missed the Juggernaut Flashback. I couldn't find beast and went on to the next mission. i'm gonna be really pissed if i can't play it sometime down the road.

btw, rogue does seem to be one of the easiest players to power up. plus she can throw wolvie for a cannonball special. cyclops is the easiest character to do power combos with. you can sit back and beam someone as soon as your teammates use their specials. nightcrawler is deceptively good. his multi-port special is pretty cool and he can port with one teammate, that's just too cool.

[ashley76]

man this game sounds awesome. I can't wait to get it next week.

[Gladiator Max]

My Birthday is next week and my mom asked what I wanted and I said "X-Men Legends" - I am going to be 32! Classic!! :D

[Zurbaran1]

My Birthday is next week and my mom asked what I wanted and I said "X-Men Legends" - I am going to be 32! Classic!! :D

I was going to make fun of you but then I realized.
My Birthday was last week and when my wife asked me what I wanted I said "X-Men Legends" My kids asked me the same question and I said "Star Wars Battlefront" to them. I'm 48.

[Daredevil]

You BIG kids... Can't you buy the games yourself??!

[Gladiator Max]

You BIG kids... Can't you buy the games yourself??!

Hell no! Just got an e-mail from the Mom. Legends is in the Mail! Excellent!! :thumbs2:

[marvelboi77]

I don't think that there is enough health ups in the game. I am in the Morlock tunnels and it is hard.

[abarron]

Not even released yet in the uk still over a week to go

[Tao]

Marv.

Bust up everything you can. Heath and Energy power ups are hidden well throughout the level. Also, look at the enemy health bar when attacking. If you are fighting the Morlock Brawler, they are physical resistant, keep the melee fights off them and Optic Blast them to oblivion.

Watch out for the Morlock Goths, though they look like the goth chicks you wanted to asked out in high school, take them down first. They re-animate characters like the Brawlers, so you end up wasting a lot of energy on them. Take the Goths out first, the the minions.

And destory everything you can to find those power ups.

Hey thanks for the tip I was wondering why it took so long to kill those guys.

[marvelboi77]

I detroyed the 2 water pumps and I talked to Marrow and the Healer. Now what do I do. It does not have a new mission. I have not found Gambit and Marrow did not attack me. I guess I'm just not there yet. So far Rogue is my most powerful character. I really liked the Phoenix costume in the Sentinel flashback. Cyclops is the best character to fight them.

[ashley76]

You people are making me jealous. I have to wait until next week for the game.

[abarron]

Same here Ashley can't wait for this but have to :(

[oxgambit]

If you bring up the map you will see Red arrows, I find it is easier if you bring up the big map to see the red arrows. Go toward those and you will find Gambit trapped in a cage with Marrow gaurding him. You have to fight a bunch of people as well. make sure you take a flyer with you because there are two enemies that you need to fly to or jump to to get the power up from them.

[Tao]

Marv-
Listen to ox and that will get you through the level.

Agree with you that the 70's Phoenix costume rocks! Just wish that flashback scene unlocked her powers too.

[d rod]

ok, i'm buying this baby today for xbox if available. i have ps2 but i figured xbox might be better.

[abarron]

Yeah i have to get this for the PS2

and Star wars Battlefront

and GTA San Andreas

and Resident Evil Outbreak

and.....etc

[Tao]

I have it for the X-Box. Graphics are better than PS2, but not by much.

I am on the Siberian Power Plant level now. I have unlocked several characters and the hard part now is trying to figure out who I need for which missions. You would like managing 4 characters at a time would be a pain, but the game makes it pretty easy, so I wish I could have a larger team.

Can't wait to unlock Colossus and unleash my metal might agaist all who opposed me....except Magneto....and bad editorial decisions.

[d rod]

ok, just bought X-Men for the X-Box. gonna play some tonight before i go out. Let's hope it doesn't addict me and prevents me from going out!

[Tao]

Yes!

Just unlocked Colossus on the Power Plant level.

End is kinda tricky. Took a few tries to beat it. I won't give it away, but remember to use teamwork in terms of powers. If something needs to be moved before it is welded....

[marvelboi77]

I have 13 characters now. I love this game. jean Grey is becoming my favorite but it is easiest with Storm. With Storm you can pretty much chain lightning everything and win.

[Daredevil]

How many hours are you guys spending on it?

[marvelboi77]

yesterday I spent 7 hours. I think in total now about 20. My characters are all around 23 level. I have a good strategy, I have been taking there level ups and focusing on one power until it is at it's highest. Such as Storms lightning or jean Grey's TK....
Rogue I have not been funding her mutant powers that much she has been getting strength and defense.

The characters that I use are Storm, jean Grey, Rogue, and the 4th slot is usually Jubilee or Emma Frost. Sometimes I will use Iceman, and I will use Cyclops when it's time to fight the Sentinels his optic blast kicks butt.

Yesterday I fought Avalanche and Sabertooth together. They did not stand a chance with my lightning blast. I saved Psylocke but she is not playable yet.

[Wayne Industries]

What an addicting game........only about 1 hour a day for me though.....favorite character is wolverine....just tough as hell w/ healing to boot....

[Tao]

About 2 hours a day. I have a 2 year old, so when he sleeps, I play.

Just got through the Astral Plan level. Wow, Prof X kicks psychic @$$.

Now on the Weapon X level.

Think I enjoy playing with Cyclops, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Iceman the most so far. I agree with the previous post about focusing on one power at a time and maxing it out. Also important to really think about which characters should have the unique items.

Activision has a winner here and I am sure we will be seeing sequals.

[marvelboi77]

Ok I've made it to the 3rd seperate Astral plane mission. This one is supposed to save Prof X for sure. In the 2nd Astral mission Dark Avalanche was hard.

I'm asuming after I rescue Prof X I will probably be fighting Magneto. I think that I may sadly be almost done. But I will play again. and again.

[d rod]

guys, i bought the game and i'm trying to play w/a friend. does anyone know how to add a player w/out having to play the game to its entirety?

[Daredevil]

I thought it's a 1-player game unless you go online

[d rod]

up to 4 players. ok, i guess you have to go far enough into the game to be able to get another player in. what do you do w/the inventory, sell it to forge? i have a full inventory. don't know if i can use it or do i just sell it?

[marvelboi77]

My friend started playing with me just after I got Cyclops. Go to the option screen and I'm not sure right now because I'm not looking at it. But which ever one you select there will be two small boxes one on the left and one on the right. You have to make sure it say's 2player in the box on the right.

[marvelboi77]

When I talked to Forge I never saw a sell icon. So I've have been dumping the less powerful stuff.

[Wayne Industries]

when talking to Forge, there's two catagories...items that Forge has for sale and "current items"....go to current items and sell your items through there....

[d rod]

what do you gain for selling and should you?

[Confessor]

This game sounds cool! I just finished SW: KOTOR and my wife was getting steamed towards the end b/c of the late night time that I spent on it. If I bought this one so soon after the other and played it...I would catch a lot of grief!!

...It's so tempting...

[Wayne Industries]

Drod....the only advantages for selling are of course the money that you receive so that you can buy more powerful stuff and the space that you free up so that you can pick up more....and so the cycle continues....on the harder levels I end up buying healing to supplement the ones that gets picked up randomly....

Confessor......I got lucky and married a woman that plays the game more than me...... :thumbs2: the only problem I have is that she won't get off the games when it's my turn.... :D

[d rod]

it's a great game. the have different special powers. i don't knw yet how to choose which power u want to use but so far it's been fairly easy to win and progress. i'm only on level 9 w/most of my xmen.

[marvelboi77]

Storm is the character to use if you hardly ever want to die. You keep powering up her lightning and she destroys everything and everyone pretty easily.

[d rod]

my team right now is:
storm
cyke
jean
wolvie

i'm past pyro and some marauders in an ice cave. i'm thinking of changing wolvie for rogue since she should a more powerful character.

[Wayne Industries]

my team usually consists of
storm
cyclops
wolvie
jean grey...

very potent combo.....although I play the others just to mix it up a bit...

[d rod]

we have the same team but rogue is pretty tough. her health doesn't go down much

[d rod]

does anyone know if you can buy health from forge? i don't see it as an option.
wayne: you state that you buy healing. i didn't see it as an option unless it's stated differently.

[Confessor]

Confessor......I got lucky and married a woman that plays the game more than me...... :thumbs2: the only problem I have is that she won't get off the games when it's my turn.... :D

Good deal. The issue that complicates my situation is that I have three (wonderful) children 5 and under...so she keeps busy (as do I).

[Wayne Industries]

it's a little bit later in the game and it's not from Forge.....I'd hate to spoil things for you so let's leave it that.... :thumbs2:

[Wayne Industries]

Good deal. The issue that complicates my situation is that I have three (wonderful) children 5 and under...so she keeps busy (as do I).

very understandable.... :) I have two myself....an 8 yr old and a 1 year old so I'm a little behind.... ;)

[d rod]

cool. i'm in the level to rescue gambit. so far it's been pretty easy. haven't had anyone die on me yet. flashbacks were a cool change.

[mat falls]

drod: you should be working or going out, not at home playing xbox

[Devils Drifter]

Got this game last week, wow, I am impressed. Very cool game with a lot of surprises for the veteran X-Men comic readers. I also like how they merge all the different X-Men universes into one. My only gripe is the AI at times acts very stupid.

-DD

[ashley76]

I just got the game last night and let me tell you I spent three hours playing it. I suck though. I finally died after fighting pyro. Still haven't gotten the hang of swapping people to apply health packs. I eventually lose everyone but, Wolverine or Iceman. Very fun game though. The trivia in Xavier's mansion was cool also. I missed three questions I think.

[grendelscott]

I have to stop reading this thread...you guys are making me want to go out and buy it. That would go against my rule of buying games at full price...

[Gladiator Max]

Got the game yesterday at my Family B-day party. Got home late and decided to play for 30 minutes. 2 hours later.... Great Game!!! I almost called in sick to play today. :D

[Tao]

Finally, super hero games that lets you feel like you have the charactes abilities. Spider-Man 2 and now X-Men Legends. Even with their kinks, they games deliver the goods.

[d rod]

status report: in the ship. i can kick everyone's ass but i'm not fast enough w/the time limit. running a bit short on time.

Happy Birthday, nothing like a gift that gives you license for mayhem....:)

[marvelboi77]

I beat the game yesterday.. Damn Mastermold is hard. I had to use all 14 X-Men almost all of them were close to dying and I killed 5 of them.

[marvelboi77]

status report: in the ship. i can kick everyone's ass but i'm not fast enough w/the time limit. running a bit short on time.
You get two extra minutes for every hole you plug. Use Cyclops Optic Blast or Storms lightning to weld the holes.

[Wayne Industries]

I beat the game yesterday.. Damn Mastermold is hard. I had to use all 14 X-Men almost all of them were close to dying and I killed 5 of them.

...isnt' there supposed to be 15 playable xmen??? just something I thought I saw somewhere...

[marvelboi77]

yeah it's Prof X but you can only play him once

[d rod]

marvleboi77:
i think my problem is that i'm missing a crew to rescue. i've checked the map and it shows no missing "X" to get since the map marks the X where something is at. i go all the way to the end and the last one I find is #7. can't find #8. it's like 2 crew per section but 1 section i think i only found 1. i had about 6 min to kill and ran all the way back but didn't find any. hell, i have it down to such a science (this scenario), i don't even use health on anyone. let me know if you know of something that i'm missing on.
thanks

[marvelboi77]

There are 3 crew members on the last level. Try using Storm with her ligtning. Some crew members are where there are no doors and she will make the wall explode.

[marvelboi77]

I know the first section there is two. The 2nd section I don't remember. But I know when you reach the last section you should have saved 5 and the last section has 3 in it.

[d rod]

i finished it. had to do it 3 times. it was that one guy. man, i would have let him drown if it was up to me!

[Wayne Industries]

yeah it's Prof X but you can only play him once

...I see....said the blind man.... :p

[d rod]

couple of things i don't like. there are levels which you need special characters like iceman or cyke. don't like that cause you can't pick a favorite four and get their powers to increase. also noticed that as you go along, those that you don't use, their powers increase as is. gambit started like level 11 and now is 14 and i have yet to use him. gonna start using magma. she seems to be a pretty powerful one. i blitz through this when i use wolverine and have storm, cyke and phoenix. rogue is pretty tough but using wolvie as the main attacker and doing team power shots, you destroy this enemies. lol. i've posted more for this game on this forum than anything else...
oh, what i don't like much also is the camera angles. in the middle of fights, it can change it on you and you can't see what you're doing. i still think HALO is the best game so far in all aspects.

[ashley76]

When you press select to level up your characters, is there a way to save this. Everytime I go through a new tunnel or visit somewhere I haven't been I have to redo all of my characters level ups. Is there a way to not have to do this constantly?

[Perna]

This game sounds really awesome. Now an Avengers game along the same lines would rock!

[d rod]

ashley, when you are at save point, select characters, level them up to your choice but before you exit, make sure you press, (>) button so it saves it. then, save the game. now your characters are saved from that point on.

[VenoM]

Got this game and it is really good. This is NOT your tipical run through the level and fight a boss, you will have to collect items and level up each character from power to special moves. Yes it is a RPG like game but if you are a X-Men fan, get it! :thumbs2:

[Gladiator Max]

Happy Birthday, nothing like a gift that gives you license for mayhem....:)

Thanks. The actual Birthday is this Friday. Played this game again last night for hours. Missed my favorite shows. :D

[Tattoo-X]

I'll have to get this game. Mostly because it's Marvel. Hopefully find time during the holidays to play it. I bought a bunch of games last winter that haven't been played yet. All that darn OT. ;)
BTW, this should be my 500th post.....until the MODS find out. :eplus2: :laugh:

[ashley76]

Thanks for the info drod. I usually press start but, it still seems like I have the same amount of points to spread around for each person.

[marvelboi77]

I started playing the game again and it's cool I can be Jean Grey in the Phoenix costume. Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Beast, Jean Grey all have cool alternate costumes. Jubille, and Rogue have none. Storm, Emma Frost, Gambit's suck.

[Tao]

Hope to see those alternates soon. Maybe I can beat it tonight...

[d rod]

so far, once your team is around high level 20's each, this isn't even challanging any longer. mad easy. it's mostly approach and have the team hit with their super powers. doesn't even matter who i use. i guess the trick is to load on only one power until it's maxed. the toughest part was actually guessing how to kill some of the bosses but once you figured it out after a couple of tries, it's not hard. sorta disappointed. good story line though. i don't even use the danger room any more to get experience. the good thing is that you can actually use any character since they also move up in levels automatically when you progress.

[Tao]

Solved it last night and unlocked the Extreme Gear.

Now I can also skin the characters in various classic costumes. Have Iceman, Beast, Marvel Girl and Cyclops all running around in the old blue and yellow togs.

Cool for a little while.

I did not unlock all the characters. Anyone get them all on the first play through?

[marvelboi77]

I got them all who were you missing? I don't think it's possible to miss any.... There is one blank spot at the end because Prof X is no longer selectable.

[Tao]

Marv,

There are several black spots, I think about 4 on the character selection bar at the last extraction point on Asteroid M.

I thought it would other characters, like Havok, or such.

Went to www.gamefaqs.com and have not seen anything other than what I unlocked beating the game.

Either they planned on more characters and removed them near the end of development, or they are hidden and must be unlocked by a code something else. Game developers are sneaky like that.

Will dig around online and see what I can find.

[marvelboi77]

Yeah I hope we can play Havok. He does all the moves and has all the powers already programed into the game. That would be cool. Who else would there be Avalanche Sabertooth?

[d rod]

marvelboi/tao:
did you guys find it mad easy torwards the end? also, when i set the team to aggresive, they don't always fight. sometimes they even get stuck following me when going up stairs.
dunno, maybe i ask for too much out of a game. it'd be cool if you can make them fight on their own while you're doing something else. also, more fights against groups of villians would have been cool.

if you're ever short on health, just do a danger room scene but not enough to win, just enough to pick up health. set your xmen so they don't auto load health. maybe that's why it's so easy for me. if i ever ran low, i'd go to the danger room to get more. now i don't even change the xmen that the computer chooses just to see how different it would be.

[Tao]

Drod,

Yes, it was pretty easy. I took Mageneto down without much work and Master Mold was not to hard once I figured out to.....;-)

Good idea on the danger room. Will use that when I replay.

Love the foreshadowing with the OTHER villan at the end.

[marvelboi77]

I'm almost done with it a second time. I love the game. It's not so easy if you use characters that done have energy attacks, such as Rogue, Beast, Wolverine, Emma Frost. I love playing Phoenix, I think she is great.

[d rod]

master mold actually took me a while. had to revive storm a couple of times. hard to get the xmen to fight w/out you. it would be better if one could individually command them a different task like "fight enemy" or "stay". there where times when i could have done sneak attacks alone better than the group since w/the group i'd loose health. anyways, it was pretty cool.

[Tao]

I think I will play it through again when i can have a few guys over for pizza and game night. Fun by yourself the fist time, but it would be better with other comic and game fans now that I have seen the ending.

[Gladiator Max]

Okay - I am having a hard time with the Weapon X part of the game at the end with the energy fission device. (Could be that I was playing for 3 hours and it was 2 in the morning. :D ) Anyone have any tips?

[ashley76]

Okay go to your left from the energy fission save point. go to the control panel and turn off the guns. Now go back to the other side and go down the stairs. Wait at each flamethrower until it finishes firing the go across. Go down the next set of stairs. Time it so that as soon as the energy fission thing drops some energy you immediately jet down those stairs. you will have to jump across a section of broken up flooring to get to the next stairs. go up them and wait for each flamethrower to do its thing again. Make your may to the control room and there you go.

[Gladiator Max]

Thanks! Got past it. Went pretty easy after that. :thumbs2:

[abarron]

Released today in the UK i just have to find some cash for it

[ashley76]

Thanks! Got past it. Went pretty easy after that. :thumbs2:

No prob. It took me quite a few times to figure out what I was supposed to do.

[nexus]

Announced today, X-Men Legends 2. Apparently this one's on track to the biggest selling Activision game to date. Hopefully the next one will have Angel/Archangel.

[d rod]

I liked the first one but was just too let down on the simplicity of it once you got to a certain power level. not only that, characters that you didn't use automatically went up in level as well. they should force you to use two characters and two of your favorites that way it might make it more difficult. the AI for the ones you don't use wasn't always that good either. it would be good if you could set commands for them. the option of aggresive/passive to attack didn't really mean much either. the only difficulty was actually the big boss of each level but once you learned the trick, it was pretty easy. at least it lasted a while longer. well, i have the same problem w/halo as well. i can pretty much run through the game in the most difficult level but the first time around took me a while.

[marvelboi77]

I loved it I am on my 3rd time now...

[d rod]

lol, you're out of control marvelboi. well, i've played halo about 10 times all the way though.

[MONSTER]

I guess I am going to have to get this one.

[Tao]

I am digging the "new" costumes while replying it.

[Rome]

couldn't read all the posts. Bottom line,..should I get this,..yea or nay?

[d rod]

i thought it was a great game but it just got too easy once the their powers increased. tao is the gaming expert. maybe i was asking too much from a game.

[Confessor]

Are they ever goint to release this for the PC?!?

I am becoming so impatient! What gives?

[Tao]

I agree with Drod, the game was easy once they characters were leveled up back 30. I beat Magento on the first try, which should'nt be the case. I should have to work at figuring out the proper combination of characters and powers to take him down.

However, Mags in NOT is the final boss so there is some more to be played after that.

The game is fun if you like comics and RPGs. Even with some problems with the AI of the non player characters, the user interface is very strong and easy to use.

It is good by yourself, but great with friends.

Bottom line is play it and you will have fun. May not be GTA OR Halo, but still a fun game. Activision has a new franchise on their hands.

[Gladiator Max]

I stopped playing this to finish up Liesure Suit Larry, now I am back on and am having a hard time beating MARROW. I have killed her like 10 times and she keeps coming back. Am I missing something? A little help please!! :(

[marvelboi77]

You have to kill the healers in the four corners. With each one you kill when they bring her back it only gives her partial health. The healers appear in the corner after you kill Marrow. So Kill a healer and then she comes back, when all the healers are dead beat her a ss...

[rychehitman]

You know, I just got this game, and boy do all these tips help! I hope to beat it by weeks end!

[StuckedInMasterMoldPart]

at long last.......... i've defeated that stingking old master mold..........
haha............. i think the next x-men legends the enemy's gonna be apocolypse...... :eplus2:

[Sgt.Rock]

This might seem like a longshot, but I was wondering if anyone would like to trade their X-box version of this game for a Gamecube version of the game. I am getting rid of my Gamecube, and would like nothing more than an X-box version of the same game so I can keep playing it on my new X-box. My copy is used but in mint condition (still has the original receipt in the box). To sweeten the deal, I'm willing to pay shipping both ways. Can anybody help a brother out?

[trigulater127]

hey, i just got this game for xmas, and i think it's really sweet. However, I recently ran into a problem. I may have missed out on a flashback mission....specifically the juggernaut one. It was so weird everytime i started the mission, after fighting him for a bit, the whole screen would go green and only have background music play. Finally, i decided to just play the next mission and come back later. however, now when i talk to beast he still says that line about "juggernaut had murder on his mind" or w/e, however the game doesn't ask if i wanna play the mission :( I saw earlier on this post someone with a similar problem, if he/she or anyone else knows how to fix this problem, or knows of a way to access flashbacks other than by talking to the xmen characters PLEASE tell me, this is really making me mad that i may have missed such a cool part of the game. Thanks!

[abarron]

I didn't get this for christmas but was gonna get it in the january sales until my PS2 died on me Christmas day while watching Dvd's so now i have the extended edition of return of the king and no DVD player to watch it on :bawling:

Anyone else had problems with their PS2s?? Mine just stopped reading disc and thats all it does at the browser screen. It just sits there making a load of noise and saying "reading disc" but nothing else

[trigulater127]

dude, mine did the same thing for a while, i think there may still be something a bit wrong with it, but it's working fine now. I can't think of anything i really did BUT i did do one thing, which will sound odd. just like blowing dust out of a video game, u should do that to ps2 BUT do not literally blow the dust, that could get it further into the system and cause damage. Instead...and this will sound weird, stick a vacuum up to the side of it and get all the dust out. If u look at the front there's a grate thing and i bet u have dust buildup there
i just vacuumed the whole thing, obviously be careful not to damage your system though depending upon how your vacuum works. Try that out and tell me if it helps! Again, anyone know the solution to my juggernaut flashback problem????

[marvelboi77]

I am on my 9th play through of this game, I love it.

[StuckedInMasterMoldPart]

hey, i'm playing the game game again. but i'm stucked in the haarp facility. how do i find the card that unlocks the locked door?

[marvelboi77]

I don't remember the Harp facility but all key cards are droped by the people you kill. It will be Red in color.

[StuckedInMasterMoldPart]

thanks!

[MMMMRitz]

[Justin]

Guys I've gone through the game once and have started to play it a 2nd time but for the life of me I cant find where the option is to change the X-Men's uniforms, If anyone can fill me in on how they managed to do this with their games I'd be very appreciative! :buttrock:

[d rod]

you can go here:

http://www.cheatplanet.com/

[Justin]

Thanks Drod I looked there before making that post.. I cant for the life of me get the "Cheat" they have on the page for the gamecube to work.. Have you guys entered it on the screen where you get the top view of the cerebro room?.. maybe I'm trying with the wrong screen? :(

[Justin]

*BUMP*
Any help here guys would be great!

[abarron]

Final eventually got round to buy X-men Legends now i just gotta find time to play it

[abarron]

Ok just played through the whole game but i had some danger room discs that i hadn't gone through and how do i go back and play them cos when you done Master Mold the extraction point only lets you save,load or change team. And now that i have unloacked the extreme gear how can i get me team wearing it??

[Justin]

I'd love to know the same thing abarron!!

[Wolverine1]

Did yall find out how to change costumes. On the PS2 version, the change uniform option was on the change character screen. At the bottom of the screen it will tell you to press X or O or something. I do not think that the danger room discs carry over I may be wrong.

Its Square.
There should be a thing at the bottom of the character screen that says Skin

Its must be a great game i managed to get my finacee playing it and the only other games we play together are Kingdom Hearts and Lego Star Wars

What console are you playing abarron? I have the gamecube and i cant find that option, This is also one of the few games my girl will play with me aswell she loves the game play in it

[Bartholomew]

I'd love to know the same thing abarron!!


They don't let you change costumes off the bat once you beat the game and start a new game. You need to play as Wolverine at the beginning again and go through the first level. If I remember correctly, you can switch costumes when you either get to the first extraction point, or when you get to the mansion. You will see an button on the screen that says "skin".

Abarron, you need to play all the danger room discs, before facing Mastermold, because it won't let you anymore if you beat him. Hopefully you had an extra save before you encountered him.

[Justin]

Thanks for the help Bartholomew :buttrock:

[abarron]
