Product Description
Imagine if you were the one who destroys humanity. Legendary tells the story of Charles Deckard, an art thief who is duped into stealing Pandora's Box. When he opens the box, he releases hordes of beasts thought to be fictional into an unprepared modern world. A full-scale war between man and myth begins, and it is quickly complicated by the actions of powerful secret societies. Deckard unwittingly becomes the only person capable of saving civilization from being destroyed.

 bad December 18, 2008
Thomas M. Gallello (Pancakeville)
this game is just plain awful, the AI is painfully bad and the game play will have you walking into walls and getting stuck in narrow places. if you don't believe me look at the professional reviews for this sorry excuse for a game. not one reviewer gave it over a 3!!!! save your money and buy bioshock or fallout 3 or resistance 2 instead.

I borrowed this game from a friend and gave it a solid two hours of game play hoping it didn't suck all the way through. The attention to detail I expect in PS3 games was non-exsistant. Textures are bland and character designs are boring. Gameplay is as predictable as any horror movie. You'll find yourself doing the same thing over and over and over. Not to mention every door you have to opened is opened by turning a wheel or breaking into the same keypad that every company in the world decided to buy. You're forced to stand around and wait for doors to open constantly and the in-game cinemas make you stand around and wait while they finish because the enemy is either invincible or your path is blocked.
All in all it's a crappy, boring version of Resistance. You even have a female partner that tells you what to do, but she's freakishly ugly. Who puts a decently sexy voice on a woman that ugly??? The good side is that the story line looks to be very interesting, once you get passed all the usual twists. I just couldn't wait for all those damn doors to open so slowly. This game could have been great if another company made it.

The Good Things
*Darn awesome story (Pandora's box opens, and monsters come out to invade New York; I got to wonder why nobody made a movie out of this first).
*Characters are okay (they remind me a little bit of the characters in "Resistance" though. Heck, the whole thing is a bit like "Resistance.").
*Excellent production design. The creatures are wicked (but without being overly scary or gross). The environments are big, detailed, and well-designed.
*Even though the gameplay is simple and straightforward, the levels are very well-designed. You can expect all sorts of crazy stuff to happen as you move along; it's very cinematic without relying on cutscenes.
*There is some interactivity in the environment. Enemies throw stuff, and you can solve some puzzles by moving/altering/destroying things.
*Aside from the usual range of weapons, you also get to use a few superpowers.
*Includes some online multiplayer games.
*Excellent graphics quality. There are loads of details in the textures, and there are lots of objects in each environment. Particle effects are great. One part featured a textured glass wall, and it looked surprisingly realistic. Character renderings are just okay, but everything else looks swell. This is all presented in either 720p or 1080i resolution.
*Sound design and quality are terrific.
*Excellent music; lots of good rock and metal tracks to accentuate the atmosphere and action (ala "Max Payne"). I'm gonna have to find a soundtrack for this game...
The Bad Things
*AI is not the greatest (ever see a soldier shoot a wall before?).
*Not for kids; rated M for bloody violence.
The Questionable Things
*Gameplay is extremely straightforward. You simply follow the waypoints and kill enemies along the way. Some puzzles are challenging, but it is still very linear. It's good if you want something straightforward, but after playing "Farcry 2" and "Fallout 3," it seems overly simplistic.
Wow, the first few minutes of gameplay blew me away. As soon as you start, you are immediately immersed in a world where all heck breaks loose and monsters sprawl out everywhere. From then on, it's a typical FPS. But for the most part, it does have georgeous graphics and a smart premise of a story.
Amazing Game, a must buy November 11, 2008

In the shadow of the overhyped big released like Gears 2 and the not as good as the original Resistance 2, this game is a great find. It has great gameplay, sharp HD graphics, and a great story. The monters really scare you and are really intelligent, they will find and hunt you down unless you fight back. The opening scene is one on the best I have seen in modern video games. Ignore the bad reviews this game gets, it is great and you will not be disappointed.
