Legion: The Legend of Excalibur

""To the Death""

Legion, as the game is called, takes place in the time of King Arthur. You know with Merlin and the Gang With some new characters and what not.

Despite what many have said about the game how it's too short not worth buying or just plain stinks I really enjoyed it. I think that the games has to reach a certain audience myself. Not every gamer is interested in Swords And Wizards and just plain things that go boom. These are the people that slam the game. Now on to what really matters

Whoa...

Okay so here we go!:First of all I wanna start and talk about the music and the sounds, it's normally the second thing that you notice in a game net to visuals. The music in the game to me, had an addictive catchy beat, especially when you're about to move on to the next level. The music gave that sort of ''oh yeah, I'm the best, you can see by the music playing'' theme to it. The sounds were, okay I guess, the sword slices I think were slightly inaccurate considering the size of the blade. However that's getting into specifics, no-one is perfect. The sounds of the spells were alright, like most of the sounds in the game it had that simple but really nice touch. I say that the sounds were a nice part of the game.

Here come the visuals~ The visuals were really nice as with the environments. The adjusting camera thing I liked allowing you to go in a little closer just to get a better perspective of things. The Details in the level were okay, nicely done too(Excuse my being redundant). There's really nothing that one can say about the levels beside that, Unless you're slamming the game. But I'm Not~

The levels themselves: They were fairly long and quite easy I found, Except for one in particular. The people the played the game know what I'm talking about. Like I said they were long for levels. However the length in levels is completely turned around due to the lack of said levels. They're were only 13. The game it's self can be beaten in oh about 10 hours. This is what disappointed a lot of people. The game would have been so much better if there were more levels. Even though they're long, and to some extent, to some people that is annoying.

The characters. Yes I'll say something about the characters. You're typical King Arthur Gang, We've got Merlin and Gwen. The idea behind the game is Simple. find Arthur's Sister Morgan le Fay, and Destroy her. However, there are many twists and turns along the way, which include meeting up with new characters and doing fun and sometimes interesting missions. The voices of the Characters were Uhh, sometimes annoying but dead on in ''ye Ole English'' They had the Milord's in there with a few ole english terms. So the Dialogue was good, but the voice acting was not all that great.

Cinematics. The Cinematics in the game although there were not alot were really nice looking. Most Cinematics now-a-days are. Slamming the look of them would just be insulting cinematics that look just as well as another game company.. S-q-u *knocked in the head*

The thing that I liked about the Disc(I bet you're wondering why I said disc) Is that there were DVD extras on the disc, At first I found this amusing and at the same time interesting. The Extras Contain information about the Creation of the game and what not along with a trailer for another game I think..

The Replay Value on is good~ Well it has to be the game is short, but fun at the same time. In my Opinion after having the game for a few months playing it again is a good way to have fun and just relax. Not like other games like there, where if you replay it you're tangled in some PS2 post Apocalyptic showdown with you Versus you're game. It's fun, enough said

Ye Ole Wrap Up(I like that stuff)

The game while lacking length and at times having annoying voice acting, gets you in a world with knights and armor and wizards and castles and big kabooms and spiffy spells and not to mention the Holy Grail~ Legion the Legend of Excalibur, Despite what most ''High Tech Game Critics'' say is good, and worth playing. So if you're into that kind of stuff, Get Your sword Put on your helmet and CHAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE, or just play the game silently..

I give this here game: 7/10
