LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2

From a pure gameplay perspective, you've seen most of what is in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 before in previous LEGO games. However, it's a formula that works well and I still had fun with the game even though I basically knew what to expect going into it. I liked the story in this game, it's fun and original, and is packed with that trademark LEGO humor. It's a great game for parents to play with their kids, or for anyone who's a kid at heart. While fans of the Marvel comics will get the most out of the game, it's still a lot of fun for those who don't know every last hero in the canon.

I’m a sucker for the LEGO games and toys, and of course Marvel, so this release is a no-brainer for me. While I’m disappointed that characters were removed from the first game, they still fill the gaps with plenty of Marvel characters, even if some of them are questionable (Carnom). The cookie cutter formula of taking popular franchises or movies and making them LEGO games still works and until they don’t sell and/or play well, Warner Brothers will keep churning them out. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is better than the last Marvel LEGO release (LEGO Avengers) in almost every way. If you’re a fan of the LEGO Marvel games you will enjoy this release, but probably not as much as the first LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.

Truly a love letter to Marvel and comics in general, this LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2 is visually the most spectacular and biggest of all LEGO games. Yes, there are some elements that could be polished, but hey, the Guardians, that Hub made by several cities, the visuals, the fun... We are all Groot here.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2's roster of over two hundred characters are sure to delight.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is a game made for fans of Marvel and of their latest films and tv shows. It has a good and fun history, but it's repetitive game and doesn't innovate. The LEGO formula needs to be renewed urgently.

One of the best, most enjoyable games in the wide selection of Lego titles, a real superhero extravaganza. [01/2018, p.39]

A fast-paced toy box adventure that will leave a smile on fans faces from start to finish, and well beyond that.

Despite the often baffling and obstructing in-story puzzles, there is a ton of fun to be had here.

The best LEGO-game of the year, even if it keeps playing it safe, offering the same old formula that's apparently been successful since the dawn of time.

The latest installment of the Lego Marvel series doesn't deviate too far from the franchise's formula, which means it probably won't draw new gamers into the fold. However, it checks all the right boxes and hits most of the necessary marks, giving fans exactly what they crave.

If you enjoyed the first Lego Marvel Super Heroes, there's no doubt you'll love this one too. If you're looking for a sandbox where you can play with just about any of your favorite Marvel characters you'd like, this is your stop. If you're looking for a challenge, look elsewhere.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 delivers on a fun time in a world made of LEGOs and remains over the top in all the right ways.

It doesn’t move far away from that classic Lego formula, but Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is the series at its best; as accessible, fun and action-packed as ever, but absolutely crammed with Marvel goodness, exploring some of the strangest characters and settings in the legendary comic-books. There’s a richness and detail here beyond even previous Lego super hero games, so watch out if you have serious Lego fans at home: this one will keep you and them busy ‘til the new year comes, and probably for longer.

While the number of playable characters is just as impressive as Chronopolis as a vibrant and varied open hub world, in terms of mechanics this is one of the least innovative Lego adventures in a while. But thanks to the script with its mostly toned down humor it still is fun to play.

Enjoyable new LEGO adventure that lacks in innovation but offers an incredible amount of content and characters.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is simply huge, with an engaging story, an incredibly rich roster of characters - including some obscure (mini)figures - and an enormous world to play with. That is, unless you've had enough of the usual Traveller's Tales formula, basically unaltered from all the previous LEGO games.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 doesn't try to change the Lego formula: instead, it builds up on the benefits of its predecessor, delivering an entertaining experience thanks to a great variety of characters, locations and situations that will manage to keep players going until the very end of the game.

Traveller’s Tales comes back with the Marvel Universe to deliver one of the most solid games of the series, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. A continuist game in terms of gameplay, but charismatic and entertaining.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is a fantastic Lego game. A fun narrative, a list of well-known characters a mile long, and further refinement on the series’ classic gameplay mark this out as the best Lego game yet. Admittedly, it’s still another game in a well-trodden franchise, and one which doesn’t reinvent the (plastic) wheel, but few brands can claim the consistent quality on show here.

A few technical hiccups and minor quibbles aside, Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 tops off a great year for comic book properties with a fun, varied adventure.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 doesn’t deviate much from the established LEGO template, but its wide variety of settings, heroes, and abilities make it constantly fun to play, especially in co-op. The combat is still quite simple and it’s sometimes difficult to tell what you should do next, but the story is lighthearted and fun enough that mild annoyances like these fade into the background.

Better than the previous Marvel Super Heroes game, yet not good enough to be among the best LEGO games from Traveller's Tales.

Keeping to what makes the series so fun and losing some of the unnecessary filler, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is yet another great Lego game by TT Games offering exactly what you've come to expect from these developers.

You won’t find many new features here, but both the universe and the formula are quite good, so the result is a very enjoyable game.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is easily the largest undertaking, outside of Dimensions, for a Lego game yet. More characters and more worlds to explore are punctuated by a humorous story that’s enjoyable for gamers of all ages. Increasing the scope of the Lego games has opened the door for some less than enjoyable bugs to sneak their way at times, though.

While MSH2 does not innovate, it does, other than some glitching and sketchy design decisions, provide another fun LEGO romp that’s best enjoyed in local co-op.

Despite having gameplay like the other LEGO games, children will surely enjoy it. If you're not a fan of Marvel or have played any of the previous titles of the franchise, there is not much to see here.

TT Games repeats the formula that every player knows already. Several timelines and a wide array of characters. Even though there are some missing names like X-Men and Fantastic Four, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is loaded with content and keeps demonstrating the health of the franchise, that once again places its bet in couch co-op for both you and your family. Perhaps it takes little risks, but the fact is that it doesn't need it.

Bigger, bolder and brighter than ever, the LEGO formula remains unchanged in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. While evolution isn’t a building block for this latest entry, fan service, gorgeous visuals and an absurd amount of content certainly is.
