I'm really confused... Why is there an ActiVision logo at the bottom when they didn't publish it? It doesn't say that on my copy :/

I wish it had a longer storyline and more bosses.

I liked the other two Legend games better. This one was just a disappointment. The storyline absolutely HORRID, as an understatement, the mechanics were only decent, and it rarely shook things up. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's better than bad. I just don't see how anybody can remotely like the storyline, and I really hated how it was so different it was from the others. It's my least favorite console game.
