It's fun. Let me just say that right off the bat. I definately want people to know I thought the game was fun. Saying that, I just kept getting this feeling that a game with great gameplay was rushed to production at the expense of a deeper RPG experience (at least AS deep as Marvel Ultimate Alliance, I mean c'mon) and better graphics. At 1080p the cut scenes are clearly not native. Looks to me as if the cut scenes play at 720p. This is unfortunate to see in a game released in what is technically the 3rd Quarter of 2007.
The graphics in this game are JUST good enough to compliment the great gameplay and equal a fun game. For anyone who's played a few of the recent PS3 and 360 demos (such as Ninja Gaiden: Sigma or Area 51) Fantastic Four's graphics are far from registering as "Fantastic". This is a great game that could have really benefited from an extra 3-4 months of production and a more advanced graphics engine.
I'm looking forward to the next generation of Marvel games, and I'm hoping that someday soon we'll have a great "true next-gen" comic-book game (Supes, Spidey...how could you do THAT to us?) that lives up to the expectations of "true next-gen" graphics.
Could it be "The Darkness" later this month? One things for sure, every one of us (comic game fans) has our fingers crossed.
