    Great fun in multiplayer. Amusing dialogue and voice acting, fun and challenging (sometimes too challenging) puzzles, and a great range of characters and details.

    Split screen works really well 95% of the time, but sometimes it will get a bit confused. Some of the puzzles give you no information at all on how to solve them, and we actually had to look up how to get around a few

    Graphics are sharp and consistent, and the levels are very nicely designed. The recreation of New York in lego is fantastic and a lot of fun to just drive around.

    Mr Fantastic is gross.

    Even though LEGO Marvel Super Heroes does not go far from what defines a LEGO game, you cannot deny the fact that this game is an insanely enjoyable ride.

    LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is the first LEGO game I've ever played. And it's worth playing. The story is about the heroes, trying to stop Magneto, Doctor Doom and Loki's evil.

After the missions you can explore New York City with the big number of playable heroes and villains, complete side quests for gold bricks, buy red bricks, unlock other characters and vehicles, save Stan Lee. The game is totally awesome, but some of the characters were disappointing. Expand

    The LEGO games are always fun to play in co-op. This one here has a pretty boring story mode, but really stands out when it comes to open-world gameplay.
    I spent hours with my wife just searching for one collectible after another. And doing this in co-op is so much more than doing this alone. Even if the open-world in this game is not so good as in the others.

    Apart from that, It is just another LEGO game from TT. Mindless and relaxing brick smashing experience. The new character types - flying and huge ones don't add much to the formula but are enough to say that TT is actually trying to improve.
    If you have someone to play with - It is a fun way to spend some time. Or buy it for your kid and share with him your love for the franchise.

    A few missions in, I've played several Lego titles before but this is by far the best. Love the comedy, the diversity of characters and charming visuals. Making the game a sandbox was a fantastic move, as flying characters in previous Lego games kinda sucked when flying in two dimensions.

    Love the addition of voice actors including some from the actual films and shows, the dialog is

    Love the addition of voice actors including some from the actual films and shows, the dialog is often hysterical and adds to the slapstick style of Lego games.

    Minor flaws like lack of a skip cut scene button and archaic save system keep it from being a 10. I would also have loved a LAN option for the PC title as working with the one keyboard between two people can be a little taxing. Also, mouse controls please

    I havent played a lego game before and I am in awe.

    Theres a moment in this game where the linearity (awesome though it is) stops and your brain learns of the scope of this game.

    Its just plain fun in cinematic form

    Will be checking out Lego Batman 2. I hear its just as much a labor of love

    Excellent game for both Adults and children. I you are a Marvel fan you can't pass this up. However, just like lego batman 2 the direction of the game starts to fall apart quickly after you complete the main missions. It took my kids about 2 hours to beat those. But, other than that, the writing and translation of comic book abilities to lego universe was top notch.

    This is a guideline for how to properly review games. Many reviewers like to get a “feel” for a game, and arbitrarily give a game a score that they believe it deserves. This results in wildly different scores between different reviewers, and vastly different scores between similar games. This guideline addresses these problems and scores games fairly and consistently. This guideline also gives scores that are usually similar to the metacritic score.

    The review score is based out of 10 points. There are no “half” or 0.5 increments. It is impossible to have a score above 10 or below 0. The review score will change as the game gets new dlc, drops in price, or if more secrets are found through the game increasing its appeal.

    The scoring is split into 6 sections. The first five sections can add a possible 2 points to the final score. The first 5 sections are Single Player/Multi Player, Gameplay, Visuals/Story, Accessibility/Longevity, and Pricing.

    Notice that 3 of these sections have two parts. These particular sections will be scored based on the stronger part of the game of the two. For example, if a game has a lousy single player campaign, but an excellent multiplayer component, that section will be based solely on the multiplayer as if the single player did not exist. This allows games to be based on their own merits, as many unnecessary features are shoehorned into video games by publishers to reach a “feature quota”. Games that excel in both areas of a section don’t receive should be noted in the written review, but cannot increase the score past 2 in that section. However, it can be taken into account in the final section

    The final section can add 1, add 0, or subtract 1 to the final score. This final section is the “wildcard” section. This section is for how the reviewer “feels” about the game, but limits this only to this section, rather than the entire 10 point review. This section can include any positive or negative point that was not covered in the previous 5 sections.

    Awful controls, awful camera angles, awful roster - scientist? damage control? Not all buttons are used for playing and some buttons have 2 functions while O does nothing - example deadpool. No funny jokes, asgard pack DLC sucks(8 characters and 5 of them are copy and paste characters with only one action button and other 3 are mehh, not gonna use them)
    This game is not worth its money.

    The only fun part about this game is to dick around on the overworld. Well, that & running into all the glitches this game provides: From floating NPCs, crappy collision detecting, & too many more to count, it's always a good time.

    As a returning member of some of the older LEGO games, this game is a hell of a lot of fun. I like the dedication to the old school couch co-op gameplay. But, there are still issues: 1. The writing is weak. The voice actors aren't great, but if the writing is weak then no great voice actor can make it sound good, as some heroes are written out of character (Iron Man is the biggest example,As a returning member of some of the older LEGO games, this game is a hell of a lot of fun.

The voice actors aren't great, but if the writing is weak then no great voice actor can make it sound good, as some heroes are written out of character (Iron Man is the biggest example, or overdoing Thor's style of dialect). I'm a fan of the older games, where no spoken lines were said and funny facial expressions and sounds made the story hilarious. 2. The structure of the levels feels very identical, even though the variety of characters needed to find all of the secret paths and unlockables is a great positive. 3. Another big issue I had was the camera. I was playing on the PC with my girlfriend using PS4 controllers, and the camera seemed to be completely broken on some of the levels. Besides those negatives, this game is a great amount of fun. A massive roster of 155 characters suits this game perfectly. There are numbered distinct abilities for all of the heroes, but every character manages to feel slightly different from the other, with some having exclusive powers none of the cast have. The open world portion of New York, while small, is another nice touch. Again, despite its size, the map feels bigger because there is always something to do in the area you're in. There are a bunch of mini games, extras and side missions to find here, which adds a lot for completionists. Speaking of that, there are a ton of extras to keep you playing this game well beyond the 10 or so hours the main story is going to take you, nearly tripling your time spent on this game. Overall, a very good package worth your money, despite some rough edges. Expand

    Good lego game. I remember that I loved her very much in my childhood. Marvel fans must pass it.
    Quests in this game are not bad. But what really impresses is the open world.
    Gameplay can be repetitive. The plot is not perfect.
    But overall the game is really good.

    LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is a good game that generates a lot of fun. Unfortunately in comparison with two previous LEGO games it doesn't look that great. This "brick Marvel" is one of the best recent superhero games, but at the same time is a mediocre "LEGO platformer" game. Comic book fans should be pleased with Traveller's Tales' effort, but LEGO fans should keep playing The Lord of the Rings.
