Game Revolution certainly doesn't - with a C rating it is less then mediocre for them. Another proof for this is the following snippit: And after playing Legends for a good hour or so, you'll probably want to turn it off, too. The game just doesn't have the lasting appeal of CS, primarily due to poor balance and uninspired design. It's missing the key stealth elements of CS in favor of traditional fragfesting, and it winds up leaving a shallow taste in the mouth. Which isn't to say that Legends is completely without merit. In fact, it's got some genuine moments of fun - mainly, the ones that remind you of CS. Winning a match by rescuing the princess gives you a great feeling of achievement, as does killing that bastard dragon. Imitation may be flattering to the imitated, but to the rest of us it merely demonstrates a general lack of creativity. Legends isn't so much bad as brutally derivative. Fans of CS will certainly find some fun within these castle walls, but ultimately will likely opt for a more legendary adventure.
