X-Men: Legends features favorite characters from the powerhouse Marvel franchise in an immersive action RPG. The story begins when the X-Men learn that Magneto, their greatest adversary, has devised a plan to give mutants the power to reign supreme over humans. The X-Men are then forced to battle Magneto to prevent global chaos and stop their foes from imprisoning the human race. In order to save the world from certain destruction, players must build the perfect X-Men team by recruiting new members and deciding how best to upgrade their powers and abilities. Players will need to choose the best combination of heroes to tackle each unique obstacle as they face a threat that could destroy all of mankind.

• Customizable Squad – Gamers can pick their favorite X-Men character and upgrade each character's attributes to create their perfect team. Recruiting from 15 different heroes including Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and Jean Grey, players gain experience, upgrade their team, characters and unlock new abilities to aid in the quest.
• Interact With Favorite Characters – Fans control their X-Men characters (either individually or as a team) by training and directing them through an exciting series of missions. Players command their team and take on such enemies as the Brotherhood of Mutants, Sentinels and an unknown enemy from the future.
• Multiple Gameplay Modes – X-Men: Legends features a multi-branching, mission-based storyline that allows for abundant replay value. Players can play solo or cooperatively with up to three friends as they battle evil mutants. Dynamic joining allows new players to become part of the adventure at any time during the game.

X-Mens gamle motstander Magneto går med nye ondskapsfulle planer om å legge under seg menneskeheten. Det er opp til deg å stoppe ham ved å plukke ut et drømmelag med superhelter fra Marvels blandete utvalg av mutanter, trene dem opp og lede dem ut i krig i X-Men Legends, det nye actionrollespillet fra Activision.

Du kan styre heltene på laget ditt individuelt eller som et lag mens du utforsker omfattende verdener og avdekker handlingen. I kampene kan du til og med bruke flere figurer sammen for å utføre dødelige kombinasjoner, for eksempel Wolverine/Colossus Fastball Special. I hver kamp skaffer du deg erfaringspoeng som kan brukes til å ytterligere styrke kreftene til lagmedlemmene.

Du må kjempe mot Morlocks, the Brotherhood of Mutants og robotaktige Sentinels, så lagarbeid er veldig viktig. Bruk de knusende evnene til Colossus for kraftige angrep eller Nightcrawlers teleporteringsevner hvis du er nødt til å gå litt mer forsiktig frem.

• Fengslende fortelling ført i pennen av skribenter som tidligere har skrevet for X-Men-tegneserien, og over 35 praktfulle filmsekvenser.
• Dynamisk deltakelse som gjør det mulig for nye spillere å bli med når som helst.
• Spill i samarbeidsmodus for fire spillere, eller la heltene kjempe mot hverandre i Danger Room.
