Never having played X-Men Legends, I wasn't sure what to expect from this game when I picked it up, but judging from what I've seen so far I should have.
The attention to detail, the quality of the voice-acting and the sheer number of playable characters (two of which do not appear in the console version) is uncanny. Not only are the graphics stunning, but they run at a smooth frame rate. No two characters sound the same, even if they are similar [e.g: Grizzly and Sabretooth]. As far as character selection goes, the opportunity to throw Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Magneto and Juggernaut (four characters out of ten or so available at the outset) together is enough to have me hooked.
The gameplay is simple, with buttons for normal and strong attacks, jumping and throwing. The d-pad, when pressed in conjunction with the L button allows you to swtich characters on-the-fly. There are other buttons to learn, but the presence of quick-tips makes learning them all simple. The RPG elements most resemble Diablo, but also have elements of Untold Legends thrown in (minus the item hoarding of both games).
For the sake of simplicity, I'm not going to catalog all the great features of this game. I'm just floored by the attention to detail (in terms of graphics and source material). My only gripe is load times. In reality, they aren't very long. But when you know waiting for that pause menu or character management screen is the only thing keeping you from smashing up soldiers with Colossus in Genosha, it seems twice as long. X-traordinary fun you shouldn't miss.

The game IS one of the best for the system -- not only for the graphics, but the nice touches, like being able to pick up objects or destroying walls / pipes, etc.
With all of the customization options I'm going to say that I'll be playing this game for quite some time, both on "normal" and "hard" modes. There's also a ton of rewards, such as videos, comic book pages, artwork, etc. that you can work for. Nice!
One question -- does anyone know if that's Patrick Stewart doing Xavier's voice?

I just posted a review on this game that should show up shortly! I bought this game the day it came out with a buddy and we went out of town for the weekend. We played EVERY aspect of this game ... Single player, Multi-player and the bonus content! I have put a good 7-10 hours into this game and I am only 1/4 way into the 2nd Chapter (of 5!). This game is dripping with quality and goodness! I am so excited that this game has raised the benchmark for all the ports and RPG's to follow! Seeing how good this game turned out I am shocked that game like Ultimate Spiderman or Hulk: Ultimate Destruction couldn't be ported (or God of war for that matter)! I am hoping that GTA: LCS is this good!
This game is a MUST have on this system right now ... It's that good!

I just picked this one up yesterday, as the store I went to was out of GTA. Well worth the money. I could only play for an hour, but in that hour I was amazed as well as some of you were at the details on everything.
