    All the doom and gloom the previous Marvel Games have brought like Iron man 1 & 2,seem to have cast this genre in stone...Whilst using the same engine as The last Wolverine game(which wasnt half bad)This does have some fiddly issues but sound is fine & its well worth a rental as Some of the challenges are worth getting your teeth into...Its not as bad Ironman just not as good as WolverinesAll the doom and gloom the previous Marvel Games have brought like Iron man 1 & 2,seem to have cast this genre in stone...Whilst using the same engine as The last Wolverine game(which wasnt half bad)This does have some fiddly issues but sound is fine & its well worth a rental as Some of the challenges are worth getting your teeth into...Its not as bad Ironman just not as good as Wolverines last outing..But still i gave it a go… Expand

    This is one of the worst superhero games, but not one of the worst movie tie-in games I've played. It's a slog to get through but decent enough for one playthrough on the easiest difficulty. At least they tried and went for it. There's tons of different attacks and combos that you can unlock and utilize. The problem is the game looks like crap, is super clunky, and ultimately boring.

It's just not fun enough and there's enough bugs and glitches to endanger your controller. I think this could have been pretty good like the Captain America or Green Lantern game that came out the same year had the developers had more time to polish. Definitely skip this unless your a masochist completionist like me and feel a compulsive need to play every superhero game. At least this gives some good Thor lore that we have yet to see in the movies a decade later.… Expand

    Thor: God of Thunder is a reminder to players of how licensed titles can be quite lackluster. Bad sound balancing, unresponsive controls, and less than mediocre graphics make for a game that feels like it was released prematurely.

    You'll find no joy in smiting these pitiful excuses for minions. [Issue#206, p.88]

    Everything works and it will kill a few hours, but only in a rubber-necking, see-where-it-goes kind of way. [July 2011, p.103]
