GothicMike
The Good: Fun storyline. Nice character customization. Using all of your
favorite Marvel characters, good or bad, in a great story that could've been
pulled from a comic from any of the great designers and writers.
The Bad: No additional single player or co-op levels. The game left me
wanting more once it was done. Although most of your favorite characters
are available, but some are missing and other cost you extra money as DLC.
Overall: If you love the Marvel universe and have always wanted Captain
America & Ghost Rider to kick a little butt together. It’s every comic book
fans dream come true.


Chops Suey
The Good: The greatest comic book game ever created. You take the
reins of 4 of your favorite Marvel characters from a list of about 20 of the
most reknown. Or you can play 4 player coop with your friends. The story
is incredible, reminding me of my favorite cross-over comics from childhood.
I was actually sad when I finished the story cause I didnt want it to end.
The Bad: This game was released both on next-gen and older gen systems
at the same time, and the graphics show it. The 360 version looks like an
XBox original or PS2 title.
Overall: Gameplay defeats graphics in this case. The game is so fun and
addictive that you forget about the lacking graphics. Every comic book fan
needs to play this game. You won't be disapointed.


Murphys Law		--------------------
The Good: A solid Action RPG set in the Marvell Comic Book world,		The Mercs
with nice visuals and fast fun gameplay. Game features a deep character		Chops-Suey
load out/custimizatioin system that allows for some truly unique gameplay		(Webmaster)
moments. The developers supported the game with a good variety of hero's		BigSmooth8
& villians from the comic book and allow you to take the battle to		(Podcast Manager)
multiplayer.		Highclass 1979
The Bad: While the storyline certainly is fit for the comic book tale it		(Graphics)
delivers you will find yourself feeling a bit bogged down by the sparse save		GothicMike
locations and unfortunate fetch tasks that plaque many games of this genre.		(Entertainment)
Loading times also will be come a bit annoying especially when you are
tasked to go from one area to another just for one conversation and then		The Recruits
return through the same load screen. Also, the game is EXTREMELY		Murphys Law
linear in nature, there is only one true path to follow for every dungeon, etc.		(TCM Ambassador)
Overall: A very fun game! Marvell comic fans should most certainly pick		B1gBadDaddy
this game up. However your average gamer may not enjoy it as much given		(Retro Corner)
the genre and repetative nature.		F and A Eternal
