If you played any of the legends series you already know what to expect. The joy I got out of playing the game came from being able to use heroes that weren't X-men (which in my opinion has been done to death). Being able to use the classics like Thor and Iron Man made this game worth playing, and the sheer joy of being able to just plain kick butt was pretty cool. For a true fan of comics, there are little inconsistencies that are annoying (like a powerhouse like Iron Man having trouble with a weenie like Bullseye)but nothing that interferes with the gameplay. Although I got a lot of hours of play from the game, it did appear to be a little on the short side as the last 2 acts seemed a bit hurried and weren't nearly as detailed as the first 3 acts. Also, some of the characters had to be unlocked and that didn't add to the story AND made it such that you really don't have an opportunity to use them until you play the game for a second time (which may not be something you are interested in doing). This game is a must-have for any fan of Marvel Comics and hopefully will open the door to more detailed iterations in the future.
