GREAT GAME WITH A MINOR FLAW, July 5 2002
By Dannyro "dannyro" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legion: The Legend of Excalibur (Video Game)
First off I love the Arthurian legend, so this game appealed to me before I started playing it. The graphics are nice, and the strategy in the game is very good. Mission 2 is hard at first, but when you finally master it it becomes much easier. I did get frustrated at first but as I played more, it did get better. It is relatively hard, so if you enjoy a bit of a challenge this game is for you. I like the way you control other characters and can command them to do things, but I wish a bigger party was possible and some characters are better off not being used at all so you need to re-use the same ones. The biggest flaw with this game is how it saves data. You do not get to choose where and when you save, the game autosaves and only works off of one slot. If you missed an item or anything else, you cant go back and are stuck once it saves. If they wanted to do an autosave, the should allow you to re-do missions. Because of the save feature, this game gets 4 stars out of 5.

A GREAT GAME, Dec 31 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legion: The Legend of Excalibur (Video Game)
I got this game based on the reviews on many sites. They mostly gave 3 stars. When I got this game I was expecting it to be good but with a few flaws. And thats what it was like. This game is an excellent game for strategy and RPG gamers. It has the famous story of king arthur and the knights of the round table. This game lets you find all 8 knights of the round table and select 2 to travel with you on individual missions. I loved this game. I would recommend it to anyone who thinks that it might be cool and if your worried it might [be bad] It is better than what people write their reviews about.The Good:
13 Huge levels of fighting and roleplaying.
Choose the knights of the round table to go with you on
missions.
Lots of items to find and equip in different levels.
Awsome cutscenes and movies.
The Bad:
Autosaving, you cannot save the game when you want. It automatically saves after you complete a mission. You cannot save during a mission.
Missions can be long and you cannot save to rest.
When you die during a mission you start at the beginning.
RATING
This game is pretty tough for the first couple of missions but, it is a great game and I recomend this game to any hard core gamers. FOUR STARS.

could have been better., Aug 15 2002
By Sean Kramer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legion: The Legend of Excalibur (Video Game)
This game is an ok for the PS2. The graphics are not all that good and the CG's are pretty good too. Another thing I dont really like is that you have to switch your characters when fighting. That was pretty easy to get used to though. The characters are small it almost looks like PS graphics when fighting. The sound and the phrases of the characters start to get annoying after a while. Some levels it is fun to destroy the enemy and then some they just overwhelmed me and got very frustrating. The only thing I really liked was the story of the game. Where Arthur has to fight his evil sister to save england. That would proably be the only thing that saves this game. I would not say to buy this game, I would more likely say to rent it.
