Not Quite a Super Game

It’s good to be the Captain – in this case, Captain America. You’ve got the iconic shield which returns to you after you throw it, deflect bullets wherever you want, and you can beat up the bad guys – the members of a criminal organization called HYDRA.
And that, in a nutshell, is what you do in this game.
Through nine levels you play as the first Avenger, going from point A to point B, dispatching with HYDRA’s forces, and finding things like Prisoner of Wars, treasures or bombs (which you blow up).
Problem is, the game play does not change very much throughout the game (even when they throw in challenges in the middle of the levels). It’s go through a level, beat up the bad guys, and repeat until you get to the end of that level.
What makes the package even less desirable are the unlockables: they consist mostly of artwork that I found to be bland. I would’ve liked to see some more special moves.
And another problem with this game is the camera; it can go wrong in the worst times, namely battling a huge group of bad guys that have me backed up against the wall.
But yet, at about five to seven hours of play time, the game gives a lot of simple button mashing action which will delight players who just want to beat up a bunch of bad guys.
If only Captain America: Super Soldier had better presentation, camera and unlockables, it would’ve been great. RENT IT
