I really wanted to like this game. My son and I delight in playing the Lego sports meeting a lot, and when I saw this and read teh back of the package I thought I’d be getting something like that.
I was incorrect.
The game itself has some fun aspects. The one on one fighting can be fun. But over all, this game is just plain frustrating. In two player mode, it’s most frustrating. The adventure mode levels are way too long for a game aimed at children who are just casual gamers. Shorter levels or, more ideally, the ability to save at mid-points would have been nice. Instead, you must play the entire forty minute or so level or you will lose all progress.
In small, what could have been a fun addition to our game library will instead be place away in favor of the Lego sports meeting. Too terrible, too. My son likes the Marvel characters, but this game just isn’t as fun as it should be. I mean, a game featuring kid friendly, fun looking versions of Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hulk, and Captain America . . . it’s a no brainer that it should be tons of fun.
Instead, with weird camera movements, hard two player game play, and glitches galore (one level requires players to glide across chasms . . . which wouldn’t be a conundrum, except that the characters can’t stay aloft long enough to reach the other side!) an awesome concept becomes a missed opportunity.
Well, they got our $20. I presume it doesn’t matter to them much that the game will end up on the back of the shelf behind Lego Star Wars!

this game is kind of fun, in one player mode. the characters are ok, they could have a wider range of “powers”, though, like ultimate alliance. the animation is pretty excellent, the plot forgiveable, i suppose.
that being said, the two player aspect of this game is absolutely pathetic. the poor sap who is player two is often cut out of the screen and has to wait until player one finds player two, or player two reappers after waiting about seven seconds. then you’re out of the picture again and hve to wait again. the way the camera angles work with the characters make it even harder, especially at times when going from one room to another, the switch is so quick you get turned around.
to sum it up, this game really blows in two player mode. if that’s what you’re looking for, avoid this game like the friggin’ plague.

I will write 2 reviews: one as my 7-yr-ancient would describe it, one from me.
If you are
For Adults: Remember when Nintendo and other sports meeting first went from 2D scrolling sports meeting to 3D, and how terrible the 3D was? This game plays like it was designed in the late 1980’s. Yes, the characters have unique fighting (Falcon and summon his pet Redwing for ranged attacks, everyone who should glide can glide in the game), but they all die just as simple. Thor should not be as weak as Hawkeye or an Aim agent. Yes, the additional costume unlocks adds to the characters. It makes sense for War Machine to be an alternate costume for Iron Man, and Red Hulk looks meaner, just like in the comics. But Loki is just Thor in a green costume (no Loki horns), and Enchantress is likewise just Storm in green, even though their powers should be completely different.
The camera angle focuses on Player 1, so Player 2 frequently disappears of the screen if you are too far away from each other, even though Player 2 is still fighting and getting hit. After a few seconds, player 2 will reapear at the center of the screen. When fighting hoards of Doombots/Lokibots/molemen, sometimes you wipe them all out, then marvel around for 10-30 seconds waiting for the game to realize you are ready for the next stage to start.
The cutscenes are incredibly lame. The dialogue is sometimes cute (Thor: My brother doth hast violated the laws of nature and copyright!; everyone calls Ms. Marvel Ms. Crankypants just like in the cartoon), but the scenes are stills of the characters with dialogue – no actual movement/animation.
You can’t save in the middle of a level, as far as I can tell. So you have to do a 30-45 min level all over again to go back and find the Spiderman unlock token.
One excellent note: 3 months after receiving it, my 7-yr-ancient still plays it everytime he is allowed to play videogames. We have a PS3 in the living room and the ancient PS2 in the toy room w/ the ancient TV. The PS2 machine has become a Super Hero Squad machine. There are VERY few videogames that can get 3 months of intense use for just $19.99 plus tax. Although I grit my teeth everytime I play it w/ my son, if your kids like Marvel Superheroes/the Superhero Squad cartoon, and you don’t like the violence/flirtatious overtones of other superhero sports meeting, you will get a lot of mileage out of this 20 bucks.
