So there's a sale of Marvel games on XBL arcade.
Has anyone played X-Men Destiny?
An action RPG based on the X-Men sounds good but all the reviews seem negative.
It only costs £5, but I've already spent £25 on the sale so far (grabbed all 3 spidey games and Ultimate Marvel V Capcom 3 and Wolverine) so now I'm at the point where I'm spending a bit more carefully so am after some opinions on it.

Don't. Do not play. It is a shitty as all hell game. One of the worst modern day games ever. Main reason is Silicon Knights didn't give a shit when they were making it.

It was... ok... the lower end of OK...
Graphically it's really terrible, and has pretty repetitive gameplay from what I remember and it is really short.
There is a little replay value as you can choose a different powerset and different characters but from what I remember all 3 characters play exactly the same... and there's only like 2 or 3 different lines of conversation if you choose the guy with the anti-mutant tattoo.
It was rather disappointing because there is potential for a much better game in it but for 5 bucks it's probably worth that much. Then again I rented it and felt sorry for anyone who paid full price for it.

Don't buy it. No substance, the graphics suck, and honestly your choices really don't do much.

Yep, its not very good at all. Poor graphics, repetitive gameplay, dull story line and very short. Bought the game myself a little while ago, as im a fan of the Xmen and really regret doing so. Not even being a fan of Xmen will be enough to enjoy it.

I beat it twice and got the platinum. It is ugly, but it is pretty playable. Sure it is repetitive, but it is a brawler. I think too many expected it to be a new X-men Legends style dungeon crawler. It is a lot more like a 3-d final fight. And in that regard the controls actually work pretty well.
No where near as bad as many say it is. Its biggest sins are that it is horrifically ugly/bland, and you don't get to use real X-men, but it is fun to play.

X-men destinty easily the worst modern x-men game , If there is any marvel game one should be spending money on right now it should be Marvel Heroes which has come so far in such little time.
Oh and Ghost Rider just arrived in the game.
Nightcrawler MoonKnight Dr Strange Silver Surfer
And a slew of others are on the way as well.

For 5 bucks...why not?
It's far from the best game I've ever played, but it's equally far from the worst. It just...is.
But, uh...yeah, it speaks volumes when the hardest achievement in a game is the one that involves you dying a certain amount of times.

It is... disappointing? It depends on how high your expectations are. I liked giving the small female character the big rock powers... It has some interesting things, it could do but it didn't. Outside of that some of the boss fights were entertaining.

It's incredibly terrible. Just avoid it and play Marvel Heroes instead.

That's odd that you can still get it on XBL, I thought it was recalled and scrubbed from online services. I know there's no vestige of it all left on PSN, there was a destroy order as a result of Silicon Knights' lawsuit with Epic over unlicensed Unreal Engines.

I have to admit that I heard it was an X-men "Create your OWN mutant and join either the Brotherhood or the X-men!" type of roleplaying game, so I grabbed it and bought it without actually reading the box. It pissed me right the hell off. You can't "make your own mutant" you have to chose from one of the three lame stereotype losers, then you get to chose from three uninteresting and rather boring and over used super powers (Rock control, darkness control...and I can't even remember the third type, electric control maybe?). My expectations were mega high, so they plummeted like a rock when I actually played the piece of shit. Not worth even 5 dollars in my opinion.

I saw a used copy for sale at gamestop the other day. This game sucking made me want X-Men Legends 3 to happen even more...

Boss battles were cool, but apart from that it totally sucked. Completed it in about a day and was not satisfied in the slightest.
