Almost everyone is here, the Avengers, prominent X-Men, Fantastic 4. The DLC is where the game shines so look for the premium version that features them on disc since they're no longer sold online.
   
   The story is legitimately intriguing in a way that allows the exploration of the Marvel universe while staying grounded to the main plot.
   
   The combat in this game is also its peak. The base A, B system for light and heavy attacks with 9 variations gives a surprising amount of depth to CQC fighters. But the main draw is the bevy of powers you get per character. You'll be spamming them mostly and all of them are extremely immersive in making you feel like you're playing that character. Boss fights consist of quick time events as was the style of the time, they're repetitive and dull after the first couple of times but they're infrequent and short enough to not drag down the campaign experience.
   
   Collectables everywhere.
   
   The voice acting is top notch too. I often speak to characters multiple times with different heroes interested in any easter egg interactions. Deadpool is a standout. Music is good for setting up atmosphere especially in Murder World.
   
   And another main draw that most miss out on is that it has full fledged 4 player local co-op, I don't think the online aspects work anymore though.
   
   Some people might be turned off by the apparent shallowness of the combat. There are no coordinated combo attacks like in the Ultimate Alliance 2 but I feel those are overhyped, the combo system here is serviceable and allowed for a larger roster of heroes to be played which is better than fewer heroes with combination moves in my own opinion.
   
   You might come across an occasional glitch or crash but I played dozens of times with different teams and never came across anything game breaking or corrupted save files, but you can have multiple saves if you want anyway.

   Its perfect if you enjoyed X-Men or X-Men Legends II. Just like those two games you'll find its fun to play alone or with three others. Its perfect if you enjoyed X-Men or X-Men Legends II.

   Standard polished X-men fare. If you liked the first two x-men games, you'll probably like this. It's so smooth, you may not even Standard polished X-men fare.

   This is a flawed game in many ways, the boss fights are fairly bad to terrible, the camera is often garbage, many of the skills are just copyThis is a flawed game in many ways, the boss fights are fairly bad to terrible, the camera is often garbage, many of the skills are just copy pasted with new visual effects for the different heroes, a lot of getting lost or backtracking, but it just doesn't matter. There is something about this style of hero team gameplay(started in XMEN Legends) that is just so satisfying to play.
   
   The RPG aspects could be explained better, but there is enough there to have some fun tinkering with skills and combinations across a couple dozen heroes. The fighting would get repetitive but you can switch character(and therefore playstyles) on the fly. Also, and this is getting lost in the online generation, this is one of the best local multiplayer game types I have ever played. The games is played with 4 heroes on screen and you and a friend each pick one but can switch from the 4 on screen whenever you want. It can create some fun combos though maybe letting the screen move out a little more for when you are separated would have been a huge help in some areas.
   
   Overall if you look at this game on a technical level its really fairly poor, but there is just a charm to it that cannot be denied. It is greater than the sum of its parts.… Expand

   Co op oynaması eğlenceli, karakterlerin çok olmasa da farklı oynanışı hissettirdiği güzel bir oyundu.

   I played for about 2 hours online with 2 local friends of mine and it's pretty obvious this game has P2P networking because the gameplay I played for about 2 hours online with 2 local friends of mine and it's pretty obvious this game has P2P networking because the gameplay was extremely sluggish. We dropped one of the players and it got better but it was still pretty bad. The gameplay itself is extremely linear and has a console-port feel to it. Probably better played on an actual console for online cooperative play.… Expand
