    This game is pretty cool. I was wanting on the reviews before I bought the game however there are still no reviews as of this writing. So I said what the hell and bought the game anyway. I actually like it! The graphics are awesome, the combat is fun. You get to level up and buy upgrades. It's a hack-n-slash God Of War-type of game. It offers two player non-splitscreen co-op.

All in all it's a good game. I don't know what the "official" scores will be yet, but if this game gets bad reviews then I will lose faith in the entire video game rating industy.… Expand

    This is a really fun and easy to play movie tie in game. It gets its marks from God of War, which I don't see as a problem, If you're going to mimic a game...Mimic the best. The constructs for the ring are a lot of fun to use and mix up. Bringing a friend in at any time made it a lot of fun while playing, although at times it was hard to tell who was who.

Bringing a friend in at any time made it a lot of fun while playing, although at times it was hard to tell who was who. Over all the game looks a little bland but it gets the job done. The game play is very fun, pacing is a little off but they help break up the brawling with some fun and much needed puzzles. The only major problem I saw with the game was the boss fights, they can become long and tedious with out giving too much in return. The end boss fight is an extraordinarily big pain in the butt. Overall the game is fun, easy, quick, and of course gives any Green Lantern fan their fix!… Expand

    Good fun game! But Please develop a better game Double Helix, what you did with Silent Hill Homecoming was ok, GI Joe was bad, and I looked forward to Front Mission Evolved but still it was messed up. Go back to your roots when you developed Homecoming which is the best game that you guys made.

    This is a really fun game! I must admit that I didn't play it as long on PS3 as I did on the 360, because I'm and achievement junkie and not a trophy person, but I wanted to see what the differences were. There weren't that many. I'm not a gigantic GL fan, but this game is fun for anyone.

The constructs (your battle tools) are clever, and the variety is nice...always using the same two things to kill off the enemies can get dull.
    Is it worth $59.99? Well I played it through twice, and it's about 8 hours (the first time anyway), I say it was worth the big price for me. If I hadn't wanted to play it a second time, I may have been a little disappointed in that price point.
    All in all, I give it an A.    … Expand

    We weren't expecting it, but at some point during our review of Rise of Manhunters we discovered we were actually having fun. [Issue#208, p.93]

    It may not be a truly heroic experience, but Manhunters and the Green Lantern movie would make for a fine weekend double feature. [Sept 2011, p.85]
