IGN: Legendary PS3 Review

PS3 owners are particularly dogged by technical issues, which don't really make sense. For one thing, you're subjected to a ten minute install, yet there will be instances with loads that will easily take a good ten seconds or more, particularly if you need to load from the last checkpoint after you die. What the install is supposed to cut down on is unknown. There seems to be more frame rate drops in the PS3 version than the 360, and along with not having trophies at all, you'll find that the texture issues are a bit more pronounced here and there than the 360 version.

Presentation - 3.0
Graphics - 5.5
Sound - 6.0
Gameplay - 2.5
Lasting Appeal - 2.0
Overall -

2.3 / 10

1.3 - The weird thing is

I understand the PS3 got a lower score in the graphics department by 0.5, but how did it get 0.5 lower in gameplay.

Gameplay has always been the same in multi-plats.

Obviously the developers aren't up to speed with the PS3 and are just having a hard time making quality games.

I think that Spark Unlimited should have developed this game on the PS2 as well as Turning Point Fall of Liberty for the PS2 or something because this doesn't deserve to even be called a "next-gen" title.

" - Wow
this score is similar to the rest of all the PS3's "AAA" games - A Flop! "

Definitely agree. Let's look at them on IGN.

Little Big Planet - 9.5
MGS4 - 10
Valkyria Chronicles - 9.1
Resistance 2 - 9.5
Uncharted - 9.1
Wipeout HD - 9

Man... Flops indeed...

lordgodalming - 405 days 19 hours ago

2.1 - More importantly

Why did IGN bother to downgrade yet another PS3 score from the 360 score for a terrible game that no one will buy? They might as well have scored them:

"360: 2.5"

"PS3: 2.3 (nyah nyah!)"

Let the fanboy war begin! The 360 has the best verion of Legendary, an obvious contender for game of the year!

Honestly, a 2.3, and a 2.5. I wasn`t expecting it to be that bad. I predicted a 7.

7.1 - IGN

Never averages their sub scores. They give each category of the game a score and then give the overall game a score they feel appropriate. For example they can give a game half 2.5s and half 3.0s but they might give it a 2.5 cause they feel it sucks that much.

I remember when this game was early in development and was called Legendary The Box and it was one of the more hyped games and it looked promising, but something happened and it sucks...

It's like that one game that came out many months ago... I FORGOT THE NAME HELP ME OUT. It was promising and it was based in the past, older guns and stuff??? What's the name?

This game isn't using Blu-ray or the Cell boy. Games like GT5P, Uncharted, MGS4, KZ2, and other games optimized for the PS3 are actually using the Cell and Blu-ray.

This is crap game from crap developers and it's as simple as that. There's no need to start flame wars over an obviously garbage game for both consoles. If it makes you feel any better the 360 version scored 2.5/10.

It's a shame that people like you start flamewars over the most silliest things. Grow up.
