Legendary

Legendary is certainly a legendary game. It was hyped up a lot, with its developers praising how advanced and brilliant its features were. What we got however was a fairly generic game with an interesting paintjob and a few good ideas sprinkled here and there. Legendary is a first person shooter where you fight off against various monsters from different legends. You also have some superpowers to help break up the monotony, namely the power to heal yourself, as long as you have enough mana. This seems like a good idea, but the gameplay is brought down by the enemies, which are fairly generic and at times braindead, a far cry from what was promised. One of the only things praiseworthy about the enemies is the fact that certain enemies need to be finished off by decapitation in order to kill them for good. This is a novel concept for a shooter game, but not all that unique when comparing Legendary to other games of different genres. Legendary is legendary in its mediocrity. It might be worth a buy if you can get it on sale for dirt cheap, but if you can’t you’d be better off playing most other games.

Legendary is a decent budget FPS, but I cannot in good conscience recommend it with a game breaking bug in the last level that requires noclip mode to get past. I also had to glitch through one of the bosses by hiding in a corner behind some rubble, because it was seemingly impossible to dodge its attacks while it absorbed entire clips from a machine gun without flinching. It is a shame because the game has a lot of unrealized potential and some stunning visuals at times, despite an overall cheap feel. The very first level sees an epic cataclysm unfurl in the middle of a rush hour stricken New York City. The protagonist makes his way through a maze of abandoned vehicles as all around griffons are swooping down from the sky to snatch running civilians and giant golems are smashing through skyscrapers. All of this wanton destruction sounds and looks amazing, until you realize it is all scripted and the player is in no danger. Furthermore, proceeding requires the player to stand in a specific spot that often looks like a dead end and wait for the scripted events to unlock the way forward. There are some good ideas and fun here, if you are willing to overlook the early 2000's budget feel of the game and pick it up at a steep discount, but there are definitely better ways to spend one’s time.

Legendary game I first saw in 2007, when I was on CD (about Level) saw an interview with the developers. The game took me a lot of theme shoot mystical monsters. But is it the case that unused potential developers. First setting, which is a disaster. Inability to adjust the shadows, texture quality. CoD 4 was released about the same as had a huge setting where you can set anything. The graphics are nice and the current situation (2014) like Doom 3 maintains its quality. Except for optimisation. When loading several scripts jams. Otherwise runs smoothly on ultra settings. Cutscenes itself is terrible. Quality 480p console. Faces are very humorous. The sting a little, untapped potential magical hands. Why, yes but I give the game. The atmosphere and the little story, enemies. (You will not see in any other shooter) A shooting is quite fun.
