But although the game looks great, the controls felt just a tad jerky during our brief play session. It's a small criticism at this point as the game isn't scheduled to release until Spring of 2008. But in terms of the big picture, Legendary: The Box is looking pretty sweet.
In the level we sampled, we found ourselves under attack by bloodthirsty beasts and members of the Black Order, a clandestine and conspiracy-laden organization out to capture the mythical monsters for mysterious purposes. You can pit the human and monster enemies against each other to clear areas. But you'll need to choose whether to down more mercenaries or monsters since human kills will score you more weapons while downed creatures will let you boost your health by sucking the life out of them. It adds an interesting element of strategy to the frenetic action, as you dive into these three-way firefights.
