Captain America: Super Soldier for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Hey we all know games copy other games, whether it be a certain control style or gameplay function. If it works and everybody likes it why not copy it?

It copies one of the best Batman games of all time, Arkham Asylum

Which in my opinion saves this game, the only things this game shares with the movie is Chris Evans voice, Caps appearance from the movie and some other characters looks and voices as well. The story for the game is original its no prequel or side story…it follows Cap sneaking into Hydra’s Castle trying to figure out what they are up to and stopping them. The castle is pretty much your Arkham, you’ll run around completing missions, fighting Hydra Henchmen and bosses. You’ll also find hidden items scattered through out like journals from Baron Zemo and film reels.

One thing I didn’t find out till the end was that the castle has a sewer system you can use as a way to travel quickly through out the castle. Combat tries its best to copy Batman’s but doesn’t nail it perfectly, its easy to use and sometimes fluid but too many times I would press a button to counter and get stuck in a animation before I could. Cap’s shield is put to great use, you can throw it and of course shield your self. You can also ricochet enemies projectiles back at them, which is always fun to do. You will also encounter alot of areas where you have to swing from poles and jump off beams ala Prince of Persia. You can do this quickly if you time your button presses right, he also has an instinct vision that highlights useful objects and paths for you. I beat the game in 5 hours on the normal setting but missed a couple of hidden items and objectives. There is also some challenge rooms you unlock and vary from from fighting waves of enemies to getting through areas fast.

Captain America: Super Soldier saves itself from being a crummy movie tie in game with fun combat, a solid story, alot of fan service and some nice variety in challenges to keep it from getting repeti
