Lego Marvel Super Heroes

I highly recommend playing the free demo on PS Network. This is how I came to like the game and the reason I decided to buy the hard copy. The game just looks cool. These are lego versions of all of your favorite superheroes, and the graphics look really clean. Let me be honest in saying that the PS4 has the worst selection for games as of right now (02/10/14), so I took a gamble on this one and have been very pleasantly surprised. I am a 28 year old male and usually play Call of Duty Ghosts, along with some Battlefield 4, and also Need for Speed (And Fifa in person with friends). Of these, I find myself playing Lego Marvel the most right now.Two player Co-op is probably the most fun, and this game could be considered a "button masher", but it works like a slightly more advanced arcade game where you need to solve puzzles in order to advance. You are given a certain set of characters for each level, and in using those characters, you must figure out how to advance using each member's specific abilities (Spiderman will need to climb to things and use his web to reach higher areas, Iron Man will need to shoot things down/fly to higher areas/use his laser to meltdown gold objects, Hulk will need to move large objects, battle larger bosses etc.). Example: The first map starts you with Iron Man and The Hulk, so each of those characters has certain tasks that only one or the other can accomplish. In single player mode, you will need to switch between the two, but in multi-player, you and your partner will just need to work together.There is massive re-playability as I have logged about 20 hours and am at 12% completion. On top of that, once you beat a level, that level becomes an open-world map in which you can play with other super heroes that you previously unlocked. You get to go back and use specific characters on things that you weren't able to accomplish earlier (Example: Needing a strong character like Hulk on a specific map, but not having Hulk at the time you played the level earlier).This game is complicated enough and really does remind me of puzzle solving. You will need to put out fires, or find secret entrances, or fly to hidden ledges, or hack into computers and solve literal puzzles in order to advance. There have been about 2-3 times so far where I had to consult the internet because I overlooked something and got stuck. It was usually something simple but this game has its challenges.Most of the time you just fight goons and progress arcade-style, but as you progress and more characters are unlocked, it really is fun choosing from a seriously large character list. A lot of X-men characters, all of the Fantastic 4, Spiderman, Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America and tons more (The list is so big that the characters I haven't unlocked scan entire pages). This is offset by the villains too, who number in the 20's as well. You will battle guys like Magneto, but also lesser known guys like "Rhino" and other villains.This is just a simple, fun game, that you can play with a number of different people.Honestly, the best part, is that you really can't die, you just have to figure out the puzzle and advance. My girlfriend also played and she was worried that she couldn't keep up, but while I was able to maybe accomplish the harder tasks, she was able to come along and battle goons and accomplish enough on her own that it was enjoyable for both of us (Unlike Little Big Planet for example (PS3) where you really couldn't advance with a weaker player). At the same time, I can drink with my buddies and just game and not get that massive frustration that comes from being owned in a game like COD or Madden. Overall, this is how I would describe this: Less skill based and more puzzle solving.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes is a really fun game! If you're a fan of Lego Video Games, then, you're going to love this one. Another Lego game, another Franchise recreated in plastic bricks!In the Marvel iteration of the Lego Universe, the story is cool, quirky, and funny. There are over 100+ characters; so, chances are, you'll be able to play as your favorite Marvel Superhero. Gambit is in there, so, I'm very happy about this.Gameplay: At this game's core, it's a platformer with a lot of easy puzzles to solve. The controls are solid, and the animations are excellent. There is a ton of replay value in this game, because you can only solve some puzzles with certain characters. So, even though you complete the main story quest, you can go back and "clean-up" to unlock everything in the game.Graphics: As I mentioned before, the animations are done really well. The environments are beautiful. The cut-scenes are funny and very well done. You truly feel like you're playing with a Lego play set on your television.Sound: The sound is really well done. You have the signature sound of Lego brick building throughout the game, and it feels like you're actually playing with a Lego play set.If you're looking for a brand new Lego experience for Xbox One, PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, etc., this one is for you. Also, if you're looking for that special gift for a fan of Marvel Comics, or the Marvel Universe in general, I highly recommend it. Overall, I give this game 5 / 5 Stars. Enjoy!

An original idea if I've ever heard one. Never in a million years could I have imagined Doctor Doom, Loki, The Mandarin, Red Skull, Magneto, and the Green Goblin teaming up, but it made for a great game. For a LEGO game, the graphics were very clean and flowed well together. The gameplay was fun and easy to understand, especially if you've played a LEGO game before. The only downside is that the actual story is rather short, but there are numerous sidequests to get additional characters, costumes, and gold/red bricks (both of which are necessary for 100% completion).As an added bonus, there's not only the customary Stan Lee cameo (though this one was woven all throughout the game in each level and sidequest) but Clark Gregg plays the voice of Agent Coulson, something I was not expecting, but very pleased to hear. You even get a joking hint at the next big thing from Marvel, The Defenders of the Galaxy. Plus there are a ton of shawarma jokes throughout, so it's fun all around.

This is a great game for kids. I am always looking for the Lego games because they make a fun game for kids with exciting story lines. Then I found this Marvel Super Heroes game, my kids have loved playing it. There is a massive amount of characters that you can play as while you go through the levels in the story line. There are interaction between the different characters who have different ability's and powers. Since it is made by the Lego company it is completely kid friendly and safe for kids of all ages. This is shown through the E rating in the bottom left corner of the game. I would advise this to anyone looking for a fun kid friendly game!
