New Legends Reviews

Customer Ratings:

New legends, like Halo, was originally was announced for the PC. Microsoft has since made this an XboX exclusive. This game is an Action/Adventure game with a twist of 3-D fighting. Your main character must destroy the evil that is plaguing the lands. Through out your adventure you will pick up weapons, mostly meelee weapons. You can dual wield (means use 2 weapons at a time) weapons, but some requires you to use 2 hands like axes and bow. Weapons and combinations will be associated with different combos, but there will be six main weapons you must get to progress in the game which will be from 6 warlords you must defeat. The enemies seem to spawn constantly so you will not run out of things to kill.

Having been just released, New legends might be a new game but

it will remind you of old school gaming. Why? It is simple yet

addicting. The graphics won't impress you, it doesn't take full advantage of XboX's potential and there is not excuse for it. The gameplay is what will make you stick to your TV, the variety of

weapons available and combos are just too many and the controls is quite easy. One thing you have to keep in mind is that however

many times you save, once you die you will restart that level,

one major flaw that will irritate you.

New legends is a good game, but its replayabity is questionable.

There are no modes or gametype you can choose, and no multiplayer

whatsoever. Might be an advisable rental. The game roughly is 5-7 hours to finish.

Graphics and sounds = 2/5

Gameplay = 4/5

Replayabilty = 1/5

Best Deals for New Legends

New Legends has gotten poor reviews from numerous sites due to its graphics, which are not up to par with other XBOX titles. This game, however, offers outstanding gameplay which fans of old school beat-em-ups like Final Fight will love. This game was developed by Infinite Machine, headed by the designer of the original Jedi Knight. Not surprisingly, this game has a lot in common with LucasArts' Obi-Wan, which happens to use the Jedi Knight engine. It has the same fun mission based kill-everyone-in-sight 3rd-person gameplay, but instead of wielding a lightsaber, you wield numerous weapons of Eastern theme, ranging from samurai swords to razor claws to guns. Being that you can hold one weapon in each hand, you can either spin around, slicing opponents as you go, or shoot opponents with a gun while at the same time hitting them with a sword attack from your other hand; there are two attack buttons, one for each hand. Though the action in the game is very repetitive (like any beat-em-up), the levels are diverse and a blast to play through. The graphics in this game are better than Obi-Wan, but more on the level of Dreamcast than XBOX. In addition, you also see sub-30fps framerates at points, which also detracts from the graphics. All in all, a worthwhile purchase due to its addictive gameplay, as long as you can get over the graphics.

Honest reviews on New Legends

You've been reading in the other reviews how wonderful this game is especially because of the many weapons the character may wield. Here are the "cons" to this game and they are substantial enough for me to wish I had never bought the game. Combat is elementary, bland, repetitive and, at times, quite annoying. The graphics are not to the level one would expect with Xbox. The story is weak. The most annoying element is the save feature. You cannot save as you go despite the menue and the process leading to this possible conclusion. This ends up being one of the most annoying and aggrevating features of the game. This game is definitly not worth your money. Imagine a worse version of Obi Wan.

I just got New Legends and I think it is one of the best games for Xbox (HALO is God). First of all, it's storyline isn't bad. The evil Xao Gon is trying to take over China and it's up to you, Sun Soo (not the best name) to save it by battling Xao Gon's army and defating the 5 generals (Xao Gon's half demon offspring). I like the concept of futeristic weapons like flechette gun and tank puncher (my favorite) meets historc blades and staffs like tiger claws, Soo blades, and the infinity staff. The cool thing about this game is you can wield two weopons at once (unless it's double handed). Every time you beat a general, you recieve a "Forbidden Blade of Heaven" like the axe hammer, triple wind, or chaos spear. You encounter different allies throughout the game that can help you out. The music is kind of annoying because it's some old Chinese guy singing very nasal Chinese lyrics. New Legends has a save feature which is very useful. The graphics aren't bad at least near your character. The characters (including allies and all enemies) probably have the best. Every thing else is well... so so. Not the best Xbox can do. AI is medioker (I could never spell that). If your allies see a huge band of difficult enemies coming, they would really just stand there until the bad guys were in range (either bad AI or they were just brave...). Also, your friends can't die if that effects that in any way.

-PROS-

-Good storyline

-Cool futeristic and historic weapons

-Good graphics around the main character

-You can use two weapons at a time

-CONS-

-N64 level graphics everywhere else

-Annoying music (in my opinion)

-The main bad guy has a really bad taste in clothing

If you like FPS games with OK graphics, New Legends is the game for you.
