    Accessible, with a great cast of villains, Fantastic Four is an entertaining ride into a comic book. The levels are a little short, and the game does have a few clipping problems that color an otherwise fun experience.

    A pretty decent game that isn't anything spectacular, but for fans of the movie and people that enjoy bash-em shoot-em type of games involving multiple players will definitely enjoy the game.

    The game's presentation is easily worth the attention of even the most hardcore comic fans. The graphics are all fairly well defined, though the PS2 version doesn't look quite as sharp as either the Xbox or GameCube versions.

    It’s decent, mindless fun…until you realize how little freedom your four heroes actually have.

    Frustrating controls and fighting engine, and really lackluster fun-factor keep this game on the store shelf.
  6. GameSpot

    Unfortunately, the game suffers from imprecise controls, a lackluster presentation, a few bugs, and other issues that make it difficult to recommend.

    The music...oh please, don't get me started on that. It's like someone is playing a muted tape deck in the background.

    This game is above average, that i can say. Graphics are well done and various abilities of our super heroes allow for a fun time. Storyline This game is above average, that i can say. Graphics are well done and various abilities of our super heroes allow for a fun time. Storyline follows the movie but with some added features. Although this game is enjoyable you soon realize the the limited freedom of the characters. Overall this game is exceptionally done.… Expand
