I actually have it for Gamecube, but since it's the week of the XBOX, and the game is multiplatform, I thought I'd post my thoughts on this board.
X-Men Legends just totally rocks. If you like X-Men at all, you should enjoy this game.
It's basically an action-rpg (think hack-n-slash) with a decent story to back it up. If you've played and enjoyed games like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes, or even Gauntlet, X-Men Legends is kind of like that.
The best part is being able to play as the X-Men and use their powers. I haven't unlocked all of them yet, but I hear there's something like 16 X-Men to choose from. Some missions only let you use one person, but most allow for four, and you can either control all four characters or play co-op with up to 3 other people. Right now my favorite team is Wolverine, Iceman, Cyclops, and Storm. I play Wolverine and my roommate plays Cyclops. Sometimes I switch out Storm for Rogue and then I play as Rogue.
The customization on the characters is really awesome. You get to modify their stats for things like health, agility, health regeneration, and mutant energy (magic) regeneration. They also have their mutant abilities, which you can upgrade. They start out with just one power at the lowest level, and you can add more power to it and max it out, or give them a wide range of abilities and slowly max them out.
There's a lot of cool mini games and stuff. By going through the main story, you can pick up bonus features like comic books, concept art, and different multiplayer modes (which take place in the Danger Room). There's also a trivia game that gives you experience for right answers, and you can find out information on X-Men characters and their enemies.
My roommate and I just started playing this last night around 10 pm or so and then we stayed up until almost 5 am playing it (it's that good). So definitely, if you're an X-Men fan, try this game.
