Legendary

A classic FPS from a more experimental time. Absolutely amazing premise and some lovely gameplay. If ever there was an old series that needed updates and sequels, it is this one.

FPS bem curto, meio genérico, mesmo tendo uma proposta até interessante, mas cai muito na mesmice dos FPS de 2008. Gráficos são iguais a qualquer outro jogo feito na Unreal Engine 3: Bonitos mas ESCUROS, ficando até difícil de enxergar os inimigos. Você tem que esperar alguém atirar ou colar na sua cara pra saber onde estão. Não é um jogo ruim e até me divertiu enquanto durou, mas não é um jogo que me vejo voltando tão cedo. É um jogo legal, mas esquecível. Apenas recomendo positivamente pois não é um jogo ruim, só é genérico.

Legenday's biggest mistake was coming out in 2008. Following up a year like 2007 and then launching in 2008, it draws a lot of unflattering comparisons between it and some of the generation defining shooters like Call Of Duty: World At War, Halo 3, Bioshock and a slew of others. It's biggest crime is it's mediocrity.

The game's set in London where you're a thief named Deckard, sent to steal Pandora's Box. You open the box and bam, monsters come out to destroy the world. There isn't a consistent theme in the monsters: Gryphons, werewolves, a Kraken, fairies. You also get a magic hand mechanic that's extremely under utilized and might as well have not been in the game.

Once you get past the fun premise you get into an otherwise unremarkable FPS where enemies all have unique mechanics to kill them: shoot the head off werewolves, shoot the Minotaur in the back, wait until fairies become corporeal (I love standing around holding my dyck!). The game neither respects your time, you, or your mother. Prepare for simple jumps to fluster your character, terrible first person platforming, and scripted events like "You can't proceed until there's been twenty explosions so you can open this wooden door".

The audio is terrible. The radio transmissions from other combatants sound awful, the explosions sound bad, the guns sound tinny. There's no weapon variety, there's no enemy variety, there's no fun variety. Legendary had the courage to do things that games in 2004 were doing and not an iota more.

The game somehow doesn't get a single mechanic down right to where it feels good, messes up jumping, enemies spawn in the floor, it's easy to get stuck on debris on the floor, jumping is finnicky, you get insane results when you sprint + jump , assuming the mechanic feels like working to begin with. It's just a bad game.
All to get to the end of the game where an elevator will block you out from finishing the game because it forcibly drops you through the floor when you reach the final area.
