Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom for PlayStation 3

Hack and slash for the PS3

Strengths: Sometimes everyone just needs a little hack and slash time, three character classes, online cooperative play

Weakness: Graphics aren't up to par with what's out there today, gameplay is your typical hack and slash

Ever heard of that TV show "Veronica Mars"? The character Veronica Mars was played by actress Kristen Bell. The show was cancelled and Bell ended up on the TV show "Heroes". That got me curious about the old "veronica Mars" shows, which I had always heard were critically acclaimed but had never bothered to watch. Turns out it really was a good show and one which, in my opinion, did not deserve...

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom for PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Strengths: (1) Cooperative play via same screen or online

Weakness: (1) Repetitive (2) No voice chat over online (3) Not next-gen quality graphics

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom for PlayStation 3 provides a mindless kind of fun when playing with a friend online or in the same room. There really isn't much to the game other than the basic hack-n-slash formula established in the PSP entries. There are three character types to choose from and you progress linearly from the basic enemies to a boss character and repeat. There is added fun in the...

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom

Strengths: hack 'n slash

Weakness: button smashing

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom is essentially a hack and slash game that was one of the launch titles for the Playstation 3. Its graphics was great at the time of launch but now becomes dated comparing to the newer PS3 games. In gameplay there is not much of a difference from other Untold Legends games. There will be lots of button smashing in this game. Repetition could be an issue. If you enjoy...

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (PS3)

Strengths: Hack and slash game, online play

Weakness: Repetitive

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom is one of the launch titles for the PS3 system. It is a good hack and slash game for the next-gen system. It is similar to the Untold Legends games on the PSP but with improved graphics. However, this graphics is subpar comparing to the newer generations of PS3 games. This game is now greatly shadowed by the newer games. However, if you need a good hack and slash game...

Generic hack-and-slash RPG available at PS3 launch....

Strengths: Untold Legends on PS3, system's first action RPG, multiplayer support, solid soundtrack, free online play, nice cover art

Weakness: Lackluster visuals, repetitive combat, linear game play, limited armor/weapons upgrades, no voice support

Sony's Untold Legends series saw two installments on the PSP prior to Dark Kingdom's release on the PS3. While the series has a solid action RPG standing on the PSP, it's latest outing on the PS3 does nothing to showcase the system's superior hardware capabilities, and genre fans will quickly be left wanting more than Dark Kingdom can offer. Dark Kingdom is a generic action role-playing game with...

Untold Legends Dark Kingdom

Strengths: Decent next-gen upgrade to the original PSP titles

Weakness: Not that much of an upgrade considering the power of the PS3. This was decent for a launch title but somewhat lacking now. Combat is repetitive.

Untold Legends Dark Kingdom was Sony's big action-RPG launch title for the Playstation 3. Sticking fairly close to the formula of the PSP Untold Legends games this is a hack-n-slash affair. As before, you can choose one of three character types (warrior, mage, scout). Each one has a slightly different character arc, adding some replayability. Also, they have added some variety to the gameplay by...

Decent ps3 game

Strengths: A very good hack and slash game

Weakness: Camera angle sometimes is not very good

This is a great hack and slash ps3 game. The sound and grahpic are great. If you like this kind of game, you won't get bored. The art degisn, animation effects, and action are great and can get your attention all the time. it does have a camera angle issue when you get close to an object.

Good hack and slash game

Strengths: Co-Op Online play

Weakness: Gets to be repetitive.

One of the first games at PS3 launch. I am a carryover fan from the PSP. Graphics are not mind blowing but it carries well. Would of liked a fourth character just like the PSP games. Basically, I bought this game because of the co-op capability. My brother who lives across the country has this game and we get online often. This feature works great. Having voice chat would add enormously, even...

A Hit N Miss RPG

Strengths: Good visuals & music, Online play

Weakness: Repetetive gameplay

This is one of the launch titles for PS3 & really comes out as an average RPG. Combat gets dull in first hour or so but there are some nice graphics supported by above average music. Levelling up your characters does not take much time for skilled players. There is no replay value as there are no exciting modes to unlock after you finish The fact that the game is now available at bargain price...

DK

Strengths: Hack and slash game

Weakness: The storyline is kind of slow, but it's still interesting. You will see blood in this game, and you will have to fight a lot. You can't run from some battles in this game.

This game is pretty decent, if you don't mind the old school graphics. The storyline in itself is interesting and you have to figure out things on your own in the game as well as fight while doing so. However, if you're looking for top notch graphics you're not going to get them in this game. But, if you're like me and grew up playing atari, then you won't mind the graphics.The storyline is kind...
