I rented the game, and its to say............. alrite...
The Story is probably the best part of the game, written by Mark Miller, and Jae Lee doing the character art, it all sounds like it would be a damn good game. Well, the story is mainly about a new group of enemies arise known as the Imperfects, and they are killing off super heroes one by one (there is a cinematic where you get to see Captain America, The Punisher and The Hulk all killed off) and the presentation is very well done, they make my favorite super heroes like Wolverine and Spider-Man so much cooler in this game. (especially Wolverine!) And the Imperfects are very well done too, all with backstories and just great characters overall. You really get the feeling that these surviving super heroes are in the in biggest struggle in there lives.
As for the gameplay, pretty good, the game utilizes a universal fighting system. Its simplistic and a little tough as well. Plus multiplayer is the best part of the game, it gets very crazy. But one problem, its only 2 player! The game has 3D enviroments, and all objects on screen are descructable and useable, it plays almost like Power Stone, so it should have been 4 players.
But in order to get all the awesome characters in the game, you have to play through the terrible story mode, where it tries to incorporate its fighting system into a 3D action game, and the results are terrible, this is holding the game back from being a really good game. Its entirely too repetive, the A.I. in general sucks, the random enemies arent even worth mentioning. If it unlocked all characters from the start the game would be nicely tucked into my game collection.
Plus they should have gone with the M-Rating, the game is already violent enough as a T, they couldve really gone all out with it. There is one where Elektra stabs her oppenent in the face, one where Wolverine mutilates his foe, and my favorite where Iron Man vaporates the enemy with his beam.
I reccomend this a game a rent to any comic book fan. And dont play through the single player story unless you really want fan favorites like Iron Man and such.
All in all, its a 6. Well worth your time if you are a Marvel Fan, just beware of the terrible story mode.
