70What it comes down to though is if this game can compete with other console platform programs. Only on an average level.
-
Legends has a very unique gameplay style and makes good use of all the GameCube controller's buttons. [August 2002, p.82]
-
Sound for this game is very poor.
-
The biggest issue that hampers the overall enjoyment of the game is it’s finicky and unresponsive gameplay. There is a noticeable delay between the time you hit a button to the time the on-screen wrestler actually performs the move.
-
62Tries to replicate this Golden Era of wrestling, and it succeeds well in this respect. Everywhere else it fails, but it tries really, really hard.
-
60I won’t lie; I’m a bit disappointed with Legends.
-
54Slow, tedious controls hamper the experience greatly, collision detection problems scratch it further, and graphic shortcomings -- from jerky animations to an unpredictable framerate -- ruin it more still.
-
53The game's poor frame rate seems almost inexcusable considering the hardware it's running on.
-
The combo/reversal system slows the action down a bit because it takes a while for the moves to develop...The camera is a little zoom-happy. [June 2002, p.148]
-
The loading times will put you to sleep. The difficulty doesn’t even seem to change when you increase the settings. The gameplay becomes too repetitive and has little to no variety.
-
A plodding beast of a wrestling game that’s been made even worse by the fact that the PS2-to-GC conversion process has rendered it almost unplayable.
-
Acclaim employees take note--varying stats alone do not a satisfying roster of combatants create...that's where novel animations and sound bytes should've come in.
-
45Nothing more than a sick attempt to purge the wallets of old school goodness.
-
Greatest of the game's faults is the failure to capture the personality of such an exciting era of wrestling.
-
40Legends of Wrestling has, at heart, a deep and intricate gameplay system, but it's mired in overly complicated controls and a shocking unresponsiveness.
-
Exceptionally bad. The graphics are terrible, the sound is worse, and the gameplay is boring and slow.
-
25The game, unfortunately, can be played with just a couple of basic moves since the AI is so poor.
-
After playing "X8," legends looks pathetic. This is just not good. [July 2002, p.82]
