DESCRIPTION

From the same Spark Unlimited development team that brought gamers the alternate history FPS Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, comes Legendary, a game that once again begins with New York City coming under attack. However, instead of a technically superior Nazi army swarming into Gotham, mythological creatures have been unleashed onto the landscape by small time art thief Charles Deckard, who decided to take a peek inside his latest target: Pandora's box. The resulting pandemonium finds players controlling Deckard through the midst of a three-sided conflict between rival secret societies and beasts such as werewolves, minotaurs, gryphons, and golems. The Council of 98 and the Black Order both seek the power of Pandora's box for different reasons, while the monsters attack everyone and wreak havoc on the destructible environments.

Having been marked with The Signet, denoting that only he can re-seal Pandora's box, Deckard must travel from New York to London, and on to Durham, England, to restore peace to the world. The Signet allows him to draw health from fallen creatures and perform an attack that repels all nearby foes, but he must rely on grabbing ammunition from dead soldiers, and his weapons are standard pistols, shotguns, and rifles. Multiplayer modes include a standard four-on-four deathmatch, with players controlling the Black Order or the Council of 98 while the creatures lurk hungrily in the background, and a hunting mode that lets gamers try to kill as many creatures as possible within a given time limit. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“Well I've only had time to complete Episode 1 atm, but so far I have to see it seems like a great game. The difficulty is just right, and the first Episode was well done in terms of having that apocalyptic feel to it and watching the swooping griffins terrorize the average populace of NY.

I could see why this game would get some negative reviews, especially when you compare it to what people consider the top of the line FPS type games, (because this game does have some graphic issues, and NPC-pathing issues, as well as weird slide-show transitions and explanations for the story).

However if you didn't compare the game to others and just rated it based on itself, it is a great game and best of all. It is simply FUN. I plan on playing this game to the end, as I like the entire "absorbing" thing with the hand, being able to use it in a quick like pulse fashion, and shooting the regenerating werewolves.

This game is actually my girlfriend's, and she bought it "cause the box looked cool", and I only recently started playing it and I recommend it to anyone who has the ability to enjoy a single player campaign. I mean multi-player in games matter, but you still have to have the ability to enjoy a nice story-driven campaign from time to time in my opinion.”
