    The actual combat is very quick, very exciting and thoroughly enjoyed. It’s unfortunate that the unlockable movies, comic books and online play were removed, but the core game is still stronger on PSP.
  2. GameSpy
    70
    Even with its shortcomings, this version is still the best. If EA decides to continue moving forward with the franchise, it should definitely incorporate some of the features from the portable version into future console releases.
  3. BonusStage
    70
    There are a number of frustrating annoyances that hold the game back from its lofty attempts at fighting game superstardom, but when the dust settles the gorgeous visuals and responsive, pick-up-and-play fighting engine come together to form an enjoyable Super Hero smash-fest that is worth a good rent if nothing else.
  4. Modojo
    60
    Mishandled is the best way to describe what EA's done with the Marvel license.
  5. PSX Extreme
    60
    Thankfully, the PSP gets a lock-on button, so you can focus on one particular enemy without the camera forcing you to lose sight of them. This makes the game much less frustrating to play, and is something that should have been in the console incarnations.
  6. PALGN
    55
    Still a fairly average game, but if you just must own one either the console version or the PSP version then the PSP version is the better choice.
  7. Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    30
    A good idea lies somewhere in the middle of this wreck, tucked away behind the messy design and unenjoyable fighting system. Avoid like a debilitating disease. [Christmas 2005, p.106]
