2 out of 5 stars kids game   April 25, 2008
The graphics weren't really that great. Reminded me of PS1. This game is more for little children.


5 out of 5 stars Great game PLUS 4 players!   March 4, 2008
My kids were looking for a PS3 game that 4 friends could all play at the same time at their sleepover. This was it. They love it.


3 out of 5 stars Fun at first, but way too repetitive!   February 8, 2008
BOTTOM LINE:

It's great for most kids under 10yrs old. As a fan of Marvel comics, I loved to see some favorite characters on screen. Once I got past the initial moment of watching different characters do their moves - it was DOWNHILL FROM THERE.

You mash buttons over, and over, and over, and over....and thats pretty much it! Hit, Jump, Block, Dogde, Run, Rinse, Repeat, until the game finally ends.

And the ending couldn't have come quick enough.

PROS: Great selection of characters
storyline reads like a good comic book.

CONS: Graphic are top of the line PS2 at best
so repetitive it gets boring
bigger sprites for Arcade co-op, okay?
Uhhhh...Incredible Hulk????
make the ENTIRE environment destructible.
all levels are similar mazes.



4 out of 5 stars Decent button masher   September 29, 2007
If you like Marvel heroes and enjoy beating up mindless henchmen, you will like this game. It's not a very deep gameplay experience and tends to be a bit on the easy side, but it's still fun, especially in multiplayer.


1 out of 5 stars Without Dr. Doom playable, this game sucks.   July 6, 2007
 0 out of 8 found this review helpful

This game was an amazing game until xbox 360 got Dr. Doom as a playable character. The greatest hero in the marvel universe should be playable on all systems. Other characters are ok, but the ps3 bump over the ps2 version is mainly graphics. colossus' grab moves are amusing but who the hell cares about moon knight? If people want to play as batman they should buy a DC game rather than settle for the cheeesy marvel knock off version. Overall the game is very fun and I will modify my review to 5 stars the game would otherwise deserve if they come out with Dr. Doom as a playable.
