Tournament of Legends is definitely a different type of fighter with a unique mythological spin, but different isn't better in this case. This paltry package is best left to fade into the mists of time.
-
These legendary fighters may look the part, but unresponsive controls are the first thing you'll notice.
-
But sadly, the strength of the game's characters doesn't lead to a positive, or memorable, gaming experience.
-
The new best worst game ever. Briefly entertaining in a terrible B movie sort of way, but once that wears off this is just insulting.
-
ToL wins a consolation point since there aren't many 3D fighters on the Wii, and it is accessible to play. Everything else is a disappointment stacked on more disappointments.
-
It was supposed to be something special, but in the end, the latest work by High Voltage Studios's nothing more than a failed 1vs1 under the shadow of some cool fighters. Nice mechanics, but the rest isn't as special as we'd wanted in the beginning.
-
To put it as simply as possible, this is one terrible fighting game.
-
Aged characters, aged gameplay and aged graphics. And we feel at least 15 years older after playing it, too.
-
Despite its promising concept, Tournament of Legends can be easily defined as one of the worst fighting games on Wii. The lack of an online multiplayer mode and the awful gameplay will in fact force any gamer to move on to something more challenging and, most of all, fun.

Games Master UKAny potential for campy fun disperses upon pressing the power button. [Oct 2010, p.86]
-
Not only is this a poor fighting game by Wii standards, this is a massively wasted chance to create something unique and worthwhile. Your money would be better spent in the local arcade.
-
games(TM)It's hard not to wonder just what exactly High Voltage Software is trying to prove. [Issue#99, p.114]
-
The only redeeming quality is the echo of ambition that can be faintly heard in the ruins of execution.
-
A reminder of the 1990's fighting scene. Unfortunately Tournament of Legends is more chump than champ.
-
A shallow SoulCalibur imitation.
-
Tournament of Legends is a mess of glitches, incompetent gameplay, and unfulfilled ideas. It is an insult to fighting fans and an embarrassment to the icons of classic mythology, although I suppose it deserves credit as the first fighting game that can be won in the middle of a full-on seizure.
-
Incompetent, outdated and hopelessly misconceived - but other than that a great fighter for the Wii.
-
Edge MagazineToL's only saving graces are the hammy acting and daft moves. [Sept 2010, p.102]
-
The bargain price may tempt you to give the game a try but trust me, it's no different than the shuckster me-too fighting games of 15 years ago only this time you'll be losing a lot more than just a quarter.
-
Tournament of Legends feels slack, slow and is very ugly, if not ridiculous with its outdated engine and horrible design, giving to the whole game a rather hideous aspect.
-
If the game had continued to be developed as Gladiator A.D. it might not have sold but at least that seemed like a project the developers could have been proud of. This game absolutely reeks of a rushed development cycle after the change in tone in pursuit of sales.

Mar 12, 2021I really liked this game and I had a lot of fun with it. It is pretty short but it was interesting enough to keep me playing it for many months.
