I sort of feel bad saying this, but I hope that means stores are overstocked and I will be able to pick up xmen legends for $20 in January.
 
X-Men legends is too simplistic and gets too repetitive imo. I really *want* to like it more, but it gets boring fast. However, co-op play could still be pretty fun, imo
 
X-men Legends is all about the immersion in X-Men lore. Getting to actually play a substantial part of the cast, with their powers well translated into the game, make this game pure joy for X-Men fans.

I loved it.
