X-Men: Legends for N-Gage Ships

Nokia today announced that it will be shipping X-Men: Legends, the first 3D action-RPG based on the popular Marvel characters. X-Men: Legends challenges players to create, customize and control their favorite X-Men Super Heroes in teams of four in their ongoing battle to protect humanity from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and other Marvel Super Villains.

Gamers can train their X-Men squad through a variety of single player missions, as well as up to four player multiplayer missions via Bluetooth wireless technology. On the N-Gage Arena, players will be able to post high scores and download new missions and games.

"X-Men: Legends lets gamers enjoy the action wherever they go as well as connect and compete with fellow X-Man fans via Bluetooth and the N-Gage Arena," said Pasi Pölönen, Director, Games Publishing, Nokia. "This game shows off well the mobile multiplayer features of the N-Gage platform."

Players can build a squad of four X-Men characters from favorites, including Wolverineä, Gambitä and Stormä from the ground up and command them through an engaging story that spans the Marvel mutant universe, bringing in elements familiar to fans of the X-Men franchise.

As players tailor their Super Hero team, they can pick the different characters to use and customize them, making their team of X-Men the most powerful Super Heroes the world has ever seen.
