Summary: Guide is not worth more than retail 2006-01-26
Comment: Whoever the used (second party)sellers are for this guide, they should be ashamed for jacking up the price. There are plenty of free guides and walkthroughs for this game. Just use a search engine; they're easy to find. Don't waste your hard-earned money on something that you can get for free.

Summary: THE WORST GAME EVER, STRATEGY GUIDE RULES, MAN!!! 2005-04-17
Comment: I first must say that the game XMen Legends is a piece of camel crap, but man, does the strategy guide rule!!! It told me, like, strategies and stuff about the game, even though the game bites cow butt!! I apologize to all meat eaters!!! But, alas, I am a vegetarian, so bite me!!!Anyway, the point is that this strategy guide reeks of awesomeness!!! DO NOT buy the game!!!These are 5 reasons not to buy the game: #1, It sucks!!!; #2, all you do is fight and other crap like that!!; #3, It doesn't work very well as a frisbee!!!; #4, Dog lovers beware!!! This game depicts images of dogs getting their tails stepped on and/or bitten off!! I found this very offensive!! #5, Why waste your money on this piece of crap when you could own the best book in the history of the world!!! [ Well, besides Hamlet, of course!!! ]

Summary: Awesome 2004-10-26
Comment: It has been some years since I played a role-playing game (RPG). Having recently bought a PS2, I simply have to take on the X-Men: Legends. Afterall, I'm a Marvel fanboy, and what better way to rekindle my obsession with RPGs with Xavier's team of anti-heroes?
By the time I got this guide, I was already in the H.A.A.R.P. mission. To be honest, I was stuck. I was facing Pyro, who seemed (notice the past tense) unbeatable, especially when I've no more health packs, and apart from Wolverine who self heals, the rest of my team are in really bad shape. I read through the guide for a lifeline, and I found it. It taught me how to go to the danger room to do some training, and earned myself some health packs. I recuperated, went back to fight Pyro, and defeated him.
I went on to beat the game, slowly (I've read the guide and play at the same time, you know), and I was extremely delighted! I can only say I won't have go so far without the book.
Just for that, 5-stars.

Summary: Finally, a useful strategy guide. 2004-10-19
Comment: I had already finished X-Men Legends before I got this guide; after all, it's a pretty short game. But I can definitely say it's more fun with the guide in hand.
By and large this guide is free of the bad writing and false information that had plagued so many BradyGames guides I've used before. There's a large number of charts, lists, analytical databases and other devices which make the unlockables in the game much easier to find. And while the maps aren't exactly easy to read, the layout of the levels in X-Men Legends is so cluttered that I think the authors and layout artists did a good job of translating the maps into useful, legible form. The combat strategies they suggest almost always work, and they summarize each level succinctly so that you know what you're about to get into.
Why only four stars? The layout of the book can sometimes be awkward -- too much eye candy sacrificing legibility and flow. For example, it's often not clear on a page whether you're supposed to read the upper-right map first or the lower-left one. The written passages are often up to half a page behind the maps and sidebars, making for confusing navigation. And they did have omissions on the maps, leaving out one or two items, but not enough to spoil everything.
All in all, a very good guide with minor flaws.
