  1. Worth Playing

    A solid brawler with a nice selection of new and familiar characters. It sports a great deal of interactivity with the environment, and gives a number of fighting styles to work with.
  2. Play Magazine

    A rather straightforward 3D brawler, with enemies materializing in a green haze and fairly begging to be dispatched with prejudice. [Oct 2005, p.55]

    A pretty average beat 'em up. There are some annoying control and camera issues. And the imperfects? Boring! [Nov 2005]

    It doesn't have a riveting story, it's easy, the gameplay is stale and shallow – in short, and it offers nothing new.
  5. Game Over Online
    50
    A good-looking game that should've focused on one thing above all others. It might've been a good four-player arena combat game; it could've done all right as a mission-based beat-'em-up; and it's just barely possible that this might've worked as a 3D platformer starring Marvel's characters. As a game that tries to be all of those things at once, it's about as fun as gargling mayonnaise.
  6. Gaming Age
    42
    The area where the gameplay lacks is the variety on moves, combos, and just providing ways to keep gamers interested after the smoke and mirrors of the visuals wear off.
  7. Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    20
    With its horrible looks, non-existent gameplay and shallow controls, every possible effort should be made to avoid this. [Dec 2005, p.111]

    Je donne 1 8 car le mode histoire n’est pas très developé et très répétitif !

Pour ma part je n’ai jouer que une ou deux fois le mode histoire ! La ou le jeux prend vie est vraiment dans les combats versus ! J’adore le fait de pouvoir prendre beaucoup d’objets dans l’arène pour te battre ! Les personnages sont insanes et les attaques spéciales sont juste parfaites ! Je crois avoir passer au moins 50 heures à jouer des versus entre amis ! Je recommande !… Expand

    More than anything, this was a fun and zanny game with most focus on the multiplayer. The physics aren't the best, but seem to work. TheMore than anything, this was a fun and zanny game with most focus on the multiplayer. The physics aren't the best, but seem to work. The characters each have abilities to climb, fly, run, swing, pick up certain objects depending on their strength, etc; and all this blending in the characters attitudes, such as such as the comedy of Spiderman, the Anger of Wolverine, etc. Although, mind you, the sound acting was pretty bad. But, I really enjoyed bashing people up; chucking them of the edge; picking up a car, and exploding it in mid-air; climbing up walls; and even blowing stuff up with inferno.
    So, it is an average game when it comes to graphics, story and gameplay; but i quite enjoyed the overall simple and entertain battle system.    … Expand

    What a piece of crap! Where's the gameplay? I heard Marvel was excited about this deal because they were going to get to keep the IP. What a piece of crap! Where's the gameplay?
