Button mashing fun

This game isn't going to win any awards or anything like that, but it isn't too bad at what it does do. It basically reminds me of the multiplayer arcade games of 10-15 years ago where you'd run through just mashing the punch & kick buttons to take down the swarm of enemies. You have a few powerful moves and the story is pretty linear.

At the same time, it was cool to choose what character you wanted, choose which costume to wear as well as what abilities to equip. I enjoyed the co-op play on xbox live as well.

DO NOT RENT THIS GAME! Heres why:

Aright so its Christmas week and I waited longer than usual to receive this game... (due to postal delays and stuff) Anyways I pop the game into my 360, what do I see... sweet intro, got my hopes up big time. I begin playing the game and at first I figured the third person view with tiny characters was some kinda training mission but what do you know... the entire game plays the same.

Storyline is the worst one I've ever seen in any game... lets just say they shouldnt have even bothered with having a story. Levels are all too similar with all four super heros beating up the enemy. I was playing the game and my wife walks into the room, sits down for 15mins, gets up and says, "You must be out of your mind", "this is the dumbest game I've seen on a 360".

Lets just say this is not worth being an XBOX 360 game. XBOX maybe... graphics are way inferior to any Next Gen Game.

I normally never spend much time putting in a negative review for any game, but this one is special. Especially TERRIBLE I must say. I would have given this game a 1 = HORRIBLE rating but I wanted to be a little considerate for those weirdo's that think this game was worth their time.

If you like marvel comics, you will love the character selection but that's about as far as it goes. The game play basically amounts to button mashing and moving around in circles. The camera sucks because of the angle and how it makes you feel like you're playing inside of a tiny box. The look of the game is great, but the game play was a little too elementary for my taste.
