This is an overall good game. I bought it when I got deployed out to Iraq. In route to, I had a layover at another base and played this game at one of the community centers. I got hooked on this game and ended up playing it for about 4 hours that day. However, I couldn't save my progress since my memory card was full, so I decided to buy the game. By the play of the game, it seems that you can somewhat choose the play order of the games by which missions you choose to complete. I also like the vast range of characters that you can play with, both good and bad. You may have one mission as The Thing and the very next, you become one of the "Imperfects" characters and have to fight him! My main dislikes about the game are that the battles take place all in the same scenes and the difficulty "range" of moves for the characters you play with. It seems that the computer has an ease and advantage of doing combos, counters, and moves with the characters than you can as the player. But I have yet beat the game....Read full review
This game has a sporadic storyline, i have given up on trying to follow it. The game content itself is very interesting in the area that 90% of the environment is usable/ destroyable. The graphics are fairly decent, and the sound is lacking. Most of the cutscenes are well done and the controls are slightly annoying, but easy to pick up. The only thing i REALLY have against this game is you start the game out following the storyline of 3 characters, then after their stories "end" you only have 1 character to play for the rest of the game...quite a let down since my fav char. Wolverine's story ends quite quickly and thats it for him through the entire game. This game has a VS. mode on it as well...a 3d "ring" type battle for you and a friend. Over all, this game is interesting to merit buying it at a cheap price, but not good enough to play it until the CD melts!Read full review
First of all i must say, the reviews I have read and looked at over the years are pretty much bs, considering not all of those players who have played the game ACTUALLY spent time with it, trying to work out the mechanics and the different move style for each character.If they had they would have discovered a diverse, highly addictive vs mode and a great party game for your friends! Once you unlock all the super heroes and imperfects you will have a ton of fun, either by yourself as a stress reliever or with a good friend, knock em around a bit. But first, you need to play through the ridiculous story mode..Its the only gripe i have with the game, Sometimes you are always outclassed and outmatched and the enemies you will encounter always deliver a good cheap shot to the back every time! The thing i loved about the story mode was the way the introduced the cinematics, all stylized and grind like. Rest assured however, once you complete the retard, grueling story mode you will have tons of fun kicking around the thing, Spiderman, venom, the torch and others.. oh and did i mentioned IRONMAN? Gameplay: The story mode is crap, did not show and diversity what so ever and it got repetitious (To much of the same thing).. But once you get past the ugly you get to the vs mod, which is great! *3/5* Graphics: Decent, being an old school gamer im bias, but for the time, being Playstion 2 hardware and capabilities they were decent, but im not all about the graphical power of a game. *3/5* Replayability: Considering its a one of a kind fighting game, their is plenty of potential here.. Just don't go back for more punishment via the story mode and you will have fun! *5/5* Over all: Great game, just don't expect a wonderful thought out story mode for you to spend hours thinking about, this game is a fun, once more, one of a kind fighter that deserves respect for what it is, its no action title. *4/5*Read full review
The problem with this game is the game play. Its fairly slow and way too simple. There is only two action buttons and a third to use your special ability and a 4th to block but that seems to be pointless in this game. The game isn't too bad it has good graphics and is set up like the original sega Spider Man or Teen Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles game. You run through a short screen and kill the bad guys. But the levels are very simple and quick. All in all its a good game if your board, sick, don't want to think a lot, or just want a slow simple game to pass a short amount of time.
This game is an classic I remember when I brought the game back in 2005 and fell in love it was the best marvel game I ever played

i first of all have to admit being as it is not on ps3 it wont be as good as many of the games out there. I would also like to point out that the "story mode" is very slow moving and difficult to complete. However multi-player is great to have a party/tournament with of a whole bunch of your friends with (after you have beaten story mode and unlocked all of the characters).It is well worth beating the story mode to play the multiplayer!! I personally bought this game because of all the cool characters in the game but I am going to keep it for it's game-play.
I bought this game because my son wanted it. He loves Super Heroes. I was very surprised when we got it to hear the Super Heroes cussing. I do not understand why this has to be since Super Heroes have been around for years and kids love them, there is no need for a nasty mouth on the Heroes that our kids look up to and want to be like. Very disappointed in language.
Game has a good degree of difficulty, however I beat it almost to 100%, including rewards in just a few days, replay value is on a scale of 1-10, maybe a 6. If you want to beat the crap out of your friends for a few hours its good, but as a single player game it can get old. It has some AI glitches and some cinematic quarks, but if you want an enjoyable game, I would rent first or buy off Ebay for cheap...not worth my $50 new.
I bought this game for my boyfriend for Christmas because I remember him saying he would like to have it. I gave it a "Good" score because I have not played the game myself to really rate it, but he seems to like it. The VS part is cool where you can battle against another player. I also bought him Ultimate Alliance game which I can tell you gets a lot more play! Hope this helps :o)
