A warrior's rite
You are members of the Dragon's Shade, an elite squad of mystical warriors with the ability to absorb power from those you defeat. Although you have loyally served King Halaskar, you have reason to believe he is being corrupted by ultimate dark forces. Sensing your distrust, Halaskar sends you off to quell an uprising in the barbaric borderlands. However, upon your return home, to your utter amazement, you find the land of Dureth a horribly changed place.

Greater sources reveal to you that it is very possibly your own king who is responsible for brutally torturing and mindlessly killing many of the innocent people whom you were once sworn to protect. In order to save your Kingdom and restore peace and order to the lands, you and you comrades agree that the only solution is to assassinate the king.

On your journey, get ready to explore mystical lands drenched with deceit and betrayal as you venture to save your people. Teleport to the first site of anguish, the Sunken Cathedral located in a flooded portion of the city where the king's sorcerers have animated the long-drowned people to keep them in eternal pain. Or battle your way through The Kiln, a terrifying place where Halaskar relentlessly burns citizens alive to further fuel his power. Race to The Grinder: a gigantic machine that mixes unwilling slaves with blades and saws and save Dureth before it is too late.

The future of your Kingdom lies in your hands...

Opportunity knocks
Encounter numerous foes on your quest and defeat them with skills beyond your wildest imagination. Encounter the following four characters as you attempt to put an end to Halaskar's madness:

Warrior- The awesome might of his steel-clad fists leave a trail of shattered bodies in his path. His magical abilities mirror his physical strength. This includes rippling shockwaves, controlled blasts of force, and other earthshaking attacks.

Scout- Using shadow magic, poisonous attacks, and vicious direct assaults, the Scout is a fierce close-quarters combatant. Her agility and skill with bladed weapons giver her an almost snake-like appearance as she weaves through throngs of enemies.

Mage- The Mage wields a staff in addition to his mastery of arcane elements. The Mage's basic attacks are weaker than the other classes but he makes up for it with his commanding power over the elements of fire and ice.

King- Halaskar is a man driven by the pursuit of power an security. When Halaskar assumed the throne, he vowed to secure the Kingdom of Dureth from al aggressors once and for all. Yet as the years passed, the kingdom descended deeper and deeper into an era of war and suffering. Today, rumors whisper of great atrocities against the people of Dureth...atrocities committed by monsters bearing the King's orders.

Not only does Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom feature rich next-generation visuals and engaging combat, but it also offers players a unique multiplayer online co-op mode. Take on Halaskar yourself or ask a friend to join you on your quest. Either way, the Kingdom hangs in the balance, and a world looks your way for help.

3 out of 5 stars Dark Kingdom   July 24, 2008
Not as good as the psp untold legends,
but ok



3 out of 5 stars mediocre   July 20, 2008
Talk about a waste of the ps3's hardware, the ps3 is the most advanced system out and this game looks worse then a ps2 game! The gameplay is so so for a slasher game. Please sony, bring a new everquest to the ps3!


2 out of 5 stars A launch title that fails again   June 9, 2008
This game is no fun, not even remotely. I tried to get into it, but its just not that great. The camera freaks out when you get close to a tree, because its always on auto-focus. The management menu is very tedious and its hard to find where your supposed to go, or to find out what your supposed to be doing. Truth is the Chamions series has accomplished what this game had hoped for. BAD GAME


3 out of 5 stars Good slasher game!   June 4, 2008
The graphics in this game are not that good. God of War and Final Fantasy X from the PS2 has much better graphics than what this game has. However, if you are a die-hard fan of the slasher genre and want to go about doing mindless hacking, then this game is for you. It has a simple story, and there are a lot of enemies to slash. There are a lot of controls to get hold of, and it may take one or two levels just to understand the different controls and aspects of the game.

The graphics could have been improved. At the end, when the game finishes, there's not even a cool video to sign things off. No special features either on the DVD once you finish the game.

I would recommend this game to fans of the slasher genre and for those who do not like to solve many puzzles to finish the game. The gameplay is linear and you can beat it probably in 5 days if you dedicate 3-4 hours every day. The initial level is quite good with some good views of the outdoor environment. As the game progresses, however, a lot of the action takes place indoors and it has a lot of metallic feeling into it. Lot of gray, black, and steel colored art work.

It's not an impressive game. The replay value is a bit high because there are multiple characters involved.

Go for it if you can't find any other better game.



2 out of 5 stars Mediocre at best   May 20, 2008

Just too Hack and Slash for me. Camera angles are awkward at times. Plus I'm a xbox 360 lover, might have been better on xbox, I stll didn't like the game all that much though.
