"X-Men Legends is the only game that allows players to fully customize and

characters," states Kathy Vrabeck, president, Activision Publishing, Inc. "The
game's original storyline is full of plot twists and turns that will captivate

in fully interactive and destructible 3-D environments. Along the way, players
lead teams of mutants on a variety of challenging missions set in some of the
most popular locations from the X-Men comics, including the X- Mansion, New York
City and the infamous Weapon X facility.
