Once was enough. Don''t bother...

User Rating: 1.7 | Legion (2002) PC
By elstoneman | Review Date:
I got this outta the bargain bin because i was looking for something vaguely Rome-themed (these were the days before Rome: Total War). Then I learned why it was in the bargain bin. This game is just so DULL!

After a baffling tutorial that made little sense with a frankly terrible voice-over and a blank wall of text telling me what to do, I finally managed to navigate the little man of my army into another grid square to begin a fight. That's when things got really, REALLY, re-HE-ally bad...

After selecting some reasonably good looking units, I sent them into battle. Imagine my surprise when, as things start to lose cohesion, I can't actually do anything but sit there and watch my men flee in terror. Slowly. Very slowly indeed.

Frankly, unless you're seriously desperate, avoid this at all costs, it's just not worth your time, or money, no matter how cheap it is.
