2.5 from ign? . . i just played the demo, but i thought it was amazing, i really want to buy it, and seeing some of the stuff you can do later in the game (from he ending cutscene) it looks nuts, the graphics are great, and everything seems good.. its hard but o well..

so why the low rating?

It's oldskool basically that's it's main flaw, people seem to want every game to control like their favourite FPS and play like it too, if it it doesn't then it's crap. This game is a balls to the wall shooter, no real choices to make, no paths to choose, just grab your gun, shoot everything and hope you don't run out of ammo when a group of 3 Werewolves come after you.

[Oh Shhhhhhiiiii!!]

This game has it's flaws noone can deny that but imo it's a definite 7.

I got some videos of this game on my youtube, check em out and make up your own mind: http://uk.youtube.com/user/sevendiab

No problem and nice one on the purchase. Word of warning, Episode 2 will really make you hate the game, get past that and it's a lot of fun. Plus if you want a challenge try it on Hard from the start, be warned though this is foo can tough!

Glad to hear that this is basically an old-school shooter. I picked it up over at Wal-Mart for $30 the other day.

I miss the days when shooters didn't involve a ton of vehicles, cover systems, 15 different endings, blah blah blah and so on. It's good to have a game where you just pick up a gun and kill everything in sight.

Never insult seven people when you're only packing a six-shooter.

I just finished the game and thought it was pretty good.  I'm glad I picked it up from goozex.

30 bucks.. crap - i dislike paying more for stuff when i can get it cheaper somewhere else.. o well though - i got money for xmas, so i'll pretend it was jsut a gift..

and i agree about the old days like doom and wolfenstein 3d.. you just played throught he game and kiled anyone you say - no real objectives and stuff, just kill everything you see and move on..

I finished Chapter 2 yesterday - I don't really see why it got such a bad review on IGN. What is the fault of this game - that it isn't BioShock, Call of Duty 4, Half-Life 2, or Gears of War 2?

well i thought this game was immense....until my 360 died.but it is good.i think it should have got an 8.ign probs gave it that cos it not gta where it got a perfect 10 or sumat.

I would have given it a 6, its a decent game but being 'old school' doesnt excuse a poor game. I found Quake 1 to be more fun (and less buggy & repetitive) than Legendary

I thought the game was pretty good. It was nice to get into a shooter and have to worry about nothing major but surviving and shooting. Definitely old school, but it wasn't a bad thing in this case. I'm not sure why it got panned on reviews. So many people look for the indepth aspect of shooters that some just can't appreciate the simple, fun aspect of this game.

metacritic gives it a 49.

It would take what 30 lines of code to actually have a completely customizable button layout control for the 360.  Something like that ought to be part of the framework, and mandatory for all titles.  The dev sets the buttons the way they like, and you rearrange to your heart's content.

The game isn't that bad...some parts are hard as ***. With that being say, for 30.00 or less it a bargin.

Oppression and exploitation are objective realities.
Same as deception and perception.

i bought this cause of the demo

Picked it up last night.  I really like it.  Finished New York City.

For $30, it's a good shooter.

I really liked this game, even though I sucked so much that I had to play through on easy.  Lots of cool scripted action.

^^ Same here. It is quite hard, isn't it.

I don't know either, IGN and Gamespot gave it 2.0's, meaning it's practically broken and useless. It wasn't. The gunplay isn't the best but it's solid, there's no big crashes, as many glitches as there would be in any other game.. It's got it's fair share of problems but bigger companies like Eidos, Midway and EA have done way worse with games than Gamecock did with Legendary. There's nothing BIG wrong with it that deserves a horrible score like that, the reviewers pretty much faulted it for not being able to attack the Griffins in New York, which is just stupid. Shame the multiplayer is dead, because if it wasn't I'd keep this game. Love the campaign.

I gave all my fat clothes to my fat friends.

I got it for $30 at Gamestop. The only two problems I have with the game is

1: Aiming. When trying to aim, the reticle skips around the screen... It caused me a lot of frustration on hard, on the other difficulties I didn't really care about it because it wasn't that bad to deal with. But on hard... The game is actually hard. Probably the hardest game I have played to date. Maybe it's just me..

2. Hard Difficulty. I am stuck in the part where you have to obtain the 3 EMP parts in the subway. Now, I know what to do considering I have beaten the game twice before, but for some reason I just don't have enough Animus to stop all the Vending machines. For some reason on Hard I don't get the Animus cloud in the back corner left place where it normaly appears... Becuase of that.. I just can't do it. I know I am not all that bad at shooters considering I have beaten Bioshock, Turok, and Dark Sector on each of their hardest difficulties. I am in the process of beating Gears 2 on insane and so far it's not bad at all. I just get really frustrated at this game. And I never get frustrated at anything. I know if I can get past this one part I will probably be able to beat it. I know I will.

Other than that, I really kind of liked the game. I had fun. Multiplayer is quite hard, but the achievements were fun. Except hard... Any help?

Good luck finding someone to play with.. The people who do play, from the last time I played, were crazy good at it too. Or maybe I just sucked... >_<

I was upset when I played this because I was bummed about avoiding it for so long. I'm so tired of stupid GameSpot giving games bad reviews if they aren't some huge sequel to some washed up series made by a grade A developer. I played it at a friends house and thought it was a rather fun game, and I can't wait to play more.

This game is definitely not a 2.5 but it isn't great either.

The biggest problem IMO is that it could have been great if only they would have polished it up and done some play testing.

The idea is excellent, the writing is a little weak and the dialogue is horrible but those don't ruin it for me. The graphics are really nice in some parts and horrible in others but again, that is not a deal breaker.

What ruined this game for me were the annoying things that I hear over and over again. Can't skip cutscenes, bad checkpoint locations, annoying control problems (sometimes I had to pull the trigger a couple of times to get my gin to fire), AI (my guys can't hit anything but enemies are crack shots), balancing (I usually take more damage from a couple of enemy soldiers than from big monsters), etc.

for me the biggest problem with the game is there is very few enemies, and they are very repetitive, they will respawn until your get to the next checkpoint, which i cant stand.

and it seems your always fighting werewolves, the flames thigns that roll, or those fairy things.. with the odd boss thrown in.. that gets repetitive.. stilla  good game, id say a 7/10

To be fair if there was more Minotaurs and Griffins running about I would be tearing even more hair out at that increased difficulty level! I do agree a more varied selection of enemies would be a good thing though.

The worst offender of all is the crappy rock tune that loops over and over again throughout the entire freaking game.

I rented this and finished it in 2 days.
Short, fun but it needs more variance and a ton more weaponry (I think I used the same gun from start to finish!).
Good for a rental though :)

There are actually multiple pieces of music that play throughout the game, maybe you should open your ears?
