New Legends Critic Reviews

It pains me to think of how much of the game was either changed or lost since it was intended to be released on the PC back when I first saw it a couple years ago at E3...after the game's been dumbed down to play on a gamepad, I think some of that original magic was lost.

An interesting concept for an action/adventure game with a deep storyline that evolves gradually, but it suffers from the scope of its technical glitches.

It's your run-of-the-mill hack 'n slasher.

The combat is certainly fun, but not to the extent that you can overlook some of New Legends' other problems, like its camera issues and its short length. The game lasts only a little longer than five hours and lacks any extra features.

New Legends could go down as one of the best bad games ever made.

An uninspired game. With a fairly short completion time and little to bring you back for more.

One of my major gripes is when you, Sun Soo, die the game just freezes then reloads to the options screen. If you die in mid-fall the game will pause and start to reload with the main character in mid-fall, no cool death scene, nothing.

Though the tired scenarios prevent this from being a gourmet experience, on the action-starved Xbox it makes for a satisfying lunch special.

The game became old as soon as I placed it into the drive and started it up.

As good as the story and weapon variety is, the game is ultimately overshadowed by wonky camera work, uninspired voice acting, poor graphics, and repetitive gameplay.

As much time that actually went into the game (almost an embarrassing amount of time), the game felt unpolished like you were playing a beta version of it.

Full of uninspired backgrounds, bland water effects, and collision detection that will make your skin crawl.

The story isn’t a bad concept, the combat system is decent, and if the gameplay engine and graphics had been updated a bit, this could have been a good game.

Uninspired level design, zero challenge, and lackluster graphics will keep many gamers from giving this one much thought.

I struggled with the controls, the camera and every other part of this poorly constructed game.

An epic game. But like other grand-scale projects, say the movie "Waterworld" for example, it ends up spreading itself too thin for its own good.

It does almost nothing to capitalize on the power of the Xbox. Sadly, the gameplay is no better than the graphics.

The missions are very basic and straightforward, with no real need for strategy or tactics. So unless you're a sadist and get a kick out of being disappointed, steer well clear.

The AI of your friends is completely laughable as you will witness them stuck behind doors and other obstacles in non-stop walking animation, jump off cliffs and bridges for no reason, and fall out of the sky beside you.

It's the most graphically inferior Xbox title yet, and while the controls and combat are entertaining, the bland level design and shortage of puzzles make the gameplay repetitive and boring.
