    This hack 'n slash/shoot 'em up nails the character of Deadpool. Its hilarious R-rated humor is terrific, but the gameplay isn't too exciting. Deadpool can use several upgradable weapons, but combat gets repetitive due to limited enemy types. Light puzzle solving does bring some variety to the action. Overall, this is a guilty pleasure. It's not great, but can be enjoyable. I would rate itThis hack 'n slash/shoot 'em up nails the character of Deadpool. Its hilarious R-rated humor is terrific, but the gameplay isn't too exciting.

    You ever wondered if it's possible to turn Deadpool into a video game and not butcher the character? Wonder no more as this is the game for all of the fans of Deadpool, and even non fans will enjoy it.

    You know. Deadpool is really funny, my username is based on him (obviously) and i always wanted to play this game, but i couldnt because when i knew about the existence of the game, it was already gone and no longer purchasable so i just gave up and continue to play cod 4 (great game btw, i absolutely love the campain). Until now recently i modded my ps3 and downloaded the game and im glad i did that. Its a really fun and neat experience with a bunch of jokes between cutscenes and great gameplay that never feels repetitive. I literally played the game for like, 8 continoues hours and i just couldnt stop. I really love deadpool the videogame and all if you are a fan of him, you should definetely play this game    … Expand

    They really nailed the Deadpool theme with this game but the gameplay is too repetitive and drags on. If they cut a lot of the content out and streamlined the combat areas, the game would have been an awesome experience.

    Deadpool is a mixed bag. On one hand you have absolutely hilarious dialogues and humor that's as silly and immature as it is charming, on the other hand you have incredibly dull and boring gameplay.

    First off, the writing is awesome. The game's premise is simple: Deadpool (voiced by the one and only Nolan North) is bored, so he comes up with an idea for his own video game which you, the    Deadpool is a mixed bag.

    First off, the writing is awesome. The game's premise is simple: Deadpool (voiced by the one and only Nolan North) is bored, so he comes up with an idea for his own video game which you, the player, then get to play. The actual game, while packed with pop cultural references, fourth wall jokes where Deadpool berates both the developer and the player, and hundreds of silly one-liners, is the weakest link here.

    Deadpool is your average hack'n'slash. Two attack buttons to form combos, a bit of gunplay, some light platforming and primitive puzzles... you already know the drill. If you've played Devil May Cry or Bayonetta, you know exactly what to expect. Unlike those two titles, however, the action in Deadpool is simply dull. After an hour or two, I was just mashing buttons and hoping the fight will be over soon so that I can just watch some cutscenes again.

    There are only a few types of enemies in the game. The occasional boss provides no challenge whatsoever, nor are they impressive. Everything feels very basic and as if not much effort was put into it. You collect coins to buy and upgrade weapons, but just like the rest of the game it's very simplistic. Even the graphics are dull and unimpressive. The controls are alright and the camera works (most of the time), so I can't really complain here.

    While the sound and music are absolutely forgettable (surprise, surprise...), the voice acting is brilliant. Nolan North's performance and the impossibly funny script are this game's sole saving grace. It's worth to sit through all the boring stuff just for the cutscenes mixed in between. Deadpool is insane and over the top. Nothing really makes sense with him, yet at the same time it kinda does. This sort of self-referential humor can be quite difficult to do, but Deadpool nails it.

    If you're a long-time Deadpool fan, you've probably played it already. If you're new, you might as well start here. The story is really worth it. Just be prepared to play some of the most boring levels in gaming history.    … Expand

I will start by saying that the one good thing about this game is Deadpool himself, if you are into the kind of chauvinistic potty humor that could only come from a **** insane mutate superhero who revels in murdering bad guys then this game, despite its horrific shortcomings, will get quite a few laughs out of you.

    Unfortunately, that is where the actual fun part of this game ends. In fact I find it a tremendous shame that his own game doesn't do the character much justice at all. Even hack 'n slash games need some semblance of quality, and this game lacks it in every way. The gameplay is just horrendous, I have no other word for it. Deadpool has very little to offer in terms of attacks, and even fully upgraded, the small nuances to his kit are basically differences in speed and power, there is no such thing as comboing or stylish combat, it's pure button mashing.

    Now you might think that is fine if there is at least some enemy variety right? Well don't expect that either, almost every enemy in this game is a carbon copy of each other, melee fighters, ranged marksmen and the occasional heavy guy that takes a million hits to kill and is simply there for the sake of annoying you. Boss fights are the same deal, no innovation, just pure button mashing hell all the way through.

    The platforming sections are abysmal as well. Deadpool controls like a limp noodle, it feels as if you are oozing your way through the generic levels the developer came up with, yet another complaint there. Deadpool jumps around like he is on the moon and carries no real weight in the game world, which can make the platforming incredibly frustrating, and at times very glitchy as well.

    The graphics are decent, though only for the main character models, the levels are uninspired and don't feel alive in any way shape or form. The music in the game is forgettable at best.

    Overall I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone but the most die hard Deadpool fans out there, But for those among you who are looking for a decent hack n' slash game, I regretfully have to urge you to keep looking. This game is frustration on a disc, with a wonderful coat of pure Deadpool genius poured over it. Once that coat is gone however, only frustration remains.

    And to Marvel I say this: Deadpool is awesome, but if you ever want to make another game starring him, seek out a better developper. I wouldn't touch High Moon studios with a ten foot pole anymore after this disaster.    … Expand

    Gameplay:
    Deadpool is a hack-and-slash, with elements of platforming. Combat is smooth, works well, and is challenging enough to warrant skill. You cannot play this game without putting some thought as to how you will approach the enemy. As you progress through the game, new weapons and upgrades for current weapons can be purchased to use in combat.

    Story:
    To put it bluntly, Deadpool's story is nonexistent. It's both a pro and a con for the game. It's a pro because it makes sense for the character, and results in outrageous jokes and gameplay. It's a con because the game is designed so haphazardly around the premise that Deadpool doesn't care about what he does next that a story never even forms. I know it sounds like I'm contradicting myself, but it's both a negative and a positive. With that said, Deadpool says some of the most genuinely hilarious lines I've seen in a video game. He constantly breaks the fourth wall, which can range from taunting the player, to announcing that he's near death. It's amusing and something that is unique about the game.

    Graphics:
    Deadpool's graphics are good, but it does suffer from screen tearing. However, I found that most screen tearing occurred while traversing the world instead of during combat. It's unusual, but it performs well when necessary. Combat runs smoothly and without any hiccups.

    Verdict:
    I would recommend the purchase of this game when it's on sale. It's hilarious, entertaining, and amusing, but it is all bogged down by a nonexistent storyline, short length, and some screen tearing. If you don't care about a storyline, this game should be picked up immediately.    … Expand

    The humor was great, but it really wasn't that interesting. Came across the same type combat everywhere, the adventuring itself didn't have much purpose and of course the camera angles. I would consider making a second, with improvements, or no more at all.

    But then it hits us, Deadpool is not a game, it is a parody of a game. Of the kind of games you would see when a new Thor movie hits the theaters. All the elements that make such a game are to be found in Deadpool. Collecting coins or orbs, shallow combat and a horde of identical enemies (Deadpool: "are they all brothers?). [September p.74]

    If we took all the dark humor, the protagonist rudeness and the gratuitous violence out of Deadpool: The Videogame, we would be talking about a worthless game. These few qualities will enable us to have a good time playing it, even though they wouldn't justify at all the purchase of this game... Unless it was on sale.
