Did anyone actually play this? It got terrible reviews, but that's never any indication (for example: I thought Gears of War 2 didn't deserve the ratings it got, I liked Assassin's Creed more than any critic).
I snagged the demo today and it seemed pretty rad (plus it has a bitchin' soundtrack, which I promptly downloaded), but I didn't know if that persisted through the whole game. Does anyone?

Single Player is passable. It's worth playing once, but only after you've played all of the OTHER good games out there and most of the mediocre ones. It relies too much on scripted set-pieces. I really liked the battle with the gigantic trash/city golem with its Ghostbusters-esque feel, but that's about it.
EDIT: To put it in perspective, Clive Barker's Undying has most of the above problems listed by LewieP, but it still manages to be a fun and awesome game. Legendary is not fun.
EDIT 2: Legendary isn't even in the same LEAGUE as Assasin's Creed and Gears of War 2. It's shovelware. If you get it for free, then it might be worth playing, but there are many free games out there right now that exceed Legendary's quality (or lack thereof).
After that, the game vanished from the "stuff I'm even marginally interested in hearing more about" list forever.
Played most of the stuff that interested me. And I found Legendary for 25 bucks. Might look into it.
Or this will be you
And it's better than Legendary. Even the old versions, before the remakes.
Yes
Well, no. Not really. It's a sim/strategy/RPG type of thing. You have a sandboxy world which you can interact with in various ways; just go piratin', capturing ships and earning gold, you can hunt down other pirates, you can find the lost city of gold, all that sort of stuff. It's the sort of game you can play over and over again.
I got it as a gift.
It wasn't much of a gift.
It has...really awesome ideas which are implemented horribly.
Basically, it's a low-grade FPS with decent graphics, good concepts and takes place almost entirely in sewers.
Just say "No" to Legendary.
I fucking hated Legendary.
It's one of the few games I ever sold.

There is not a single damn excuse now. Get it and play it and love it Just like I have. Best money I've ever spent on GoG, honestly.
shit son
I had exactly this experience.
The frigging Mushroom game looked like a better idea.
I played the mushroom game right after Legendary too!!
But once me and Captain Cthulu discovered Sugar Rush that was the only reason to go to the expo hall.
I love Painkiller, but I haven't heard that many great things about the sequel. How is it?
I can get it on STEAM for ten bucks?
if the store corroborates your story I am buying it THIS MINUTE
I don't think they do
Painkiller IS on Steam for $10.
painkiller has multiplayer
as in shuriken/lightning-gun multiplayer?
oh shit
Agreed. IGN gave it a 2.5/10. Think of how bad a game has to be for IGN to saddle a game with a score that low.

As much as I dislike Legendary, let this not become a discussion about God Hand of Ye Olde IGN Reviewe Scorre 3.0.
Holds up WAY better than Serious Sam, if you ask me.
Plus Serious Sam didn't have stake-guns, so there you go.
Painkiller had better music too. But yeah, the stake gun totally makes the game. Though the end boss can choke on a fat dick.
Let me get this straight. You was hesitant about a DRM-free copy of a game that you can keep on your harddrive, and even put on a disk to install on any other machine without internet access with free ability to play and also have the ability to download the soundtrack, wallpapers, and avatars. Instead you get it off steam? Seriously?
It's not like the Steam version has DRM, either (unless you're referring to Steam in general). I prefer to have it lying on my Steam account, as it's a game I reinstall every so often. All that other stuff is utterly worthless, except the soundtrack, which is included in the game's install directory anyway.
Ok, so you have a point about the ability to transfer the thing to other computers, but don't chastize him for picking it up on Steam when that has its own advantages.
As an aside, Too Human is $20 at one of them.
It's worth at least 20. Legendary... Isn't quite the 13.
