    While the Wii version of Captain America doesn't quite match up to it's HD brethren, it's still a solid title. While the graphics are very cartoony, it has very good shield mechanics and the puzzles are far better than the HD versions. The platforming is too simple and easy though.

Only offering a tiny bit of challenge near the latter parts of the game. The main put off is that it's a single player campaign with no challenge modes or any reason to keep playing once finished.

    If you're a big fan of Cap, or really enjoyed the movie, you may want to consider this one. At the very least, it's worth a weekend rental. As far as Marvel/Sega movie games go, Captain America has proven itself to be the best on both systems.    … Expand

    This is probably the worst video game I've ever played. It's bad enough that I actually created a metacritic account hoping I might be able to warn people off.

It's bad enough that I actually created a metacritic account hoping I might be able to warn people off. The combat system is something like Batman: Arkham Asylum, which I would appreciate if the input lag wasn't so high and they'd tried something more creative than "walk into an arena, fight waves and waves of enemies, platform to the next arena". Flinch animations and "more bad guys are coming" FMVs don't pause combat, so you'll be getting smacked around the entire time they play out. There is no checkpointing between waves of enemies, and very little within boss fights, either - so every time you die (and you will) you generally have to start all over from the hallway outside the arena (there's always a hallway). I spent nearly an hour fighting a midboss (the giant robot one) today.
    It's a Wii game, so I don't suppose I should fault it for looking like it was made in 2002. It does make decent use of the wiimote, mainly for targeting the thrown shield. The camera is controlled (vaguely) by the D-pad and does try very hard to get you killed.
    Bad combat and graphics aside, there's the writing and voice acting. I never saw the movie, but after hearing all the actors reprise their roles here, I'm glad I didn't waste my time. I am a bit puzzled by the writing, actually - this game is rated T and the combat is roughly that advanced, but the writing is clearly aimed towards young children. Which audience was this game aimed at?    … Expand

    The Captain America game is admittedly better than most of these license games but not by a whole lot. It tries to combine platforming, 3rd person combat, and Arkam Style Rthym combat with not so steller results. The story line is barely worth mentioning since it is unmemorable and will not keep your attention. The platforming can be fun at times and some of the puzzles are challenging butThe Captain America game is admittedly better than most of these license games but not by a whole lot.

The platforming can be fun at times and some of the puzzles are challenging but the combat rips off the system from the Arkam games and it is really a poor imitation of t.The boss fights are ridiculously easy even on hard mode as once again you only rely on one strategy to beat them. The final boss though is really annoying as you have to move through pillars t avoid his laser beams which are hard to do because the lasers have no pattern to them. The game does have some bits of enemy variety but they surround you so often that it would be understandable if you decide to throw the Wii remote on the ground out of frustration. Granted the color scheme does gives a nice atmosphere around the castle and the character animations are actually fluid despite their cartoonish designs. This game might be worth a rental if you are really curious but it is in your best interest to avoid purchasing it.… Expand

    A surprisingly good game with a solid mix of combat, puzzles and platforming. While it's different from the HD version, "Super Soldier" on Wii is no crappy port. Despite the extensive move set, using the Wiimote and Nunchuck feels quite natural. While the game design does get a little repetitive, action fans will want to discover every nook and cranny.

Despite the extensive move set, using the Wiimote and Nunchuck feels quite natural. While the game design does get a little repetitive, action fans will want to discover every nook and cranny. There are plenty of optional missions, hidden collectibles and challenge maps on every level. I enjoyed the brawling which seems to be inspired by the Batman Arkham games. Overall, I would rate this with a 7.2 out of 10.… Expand

    Captain America: Super Soldier on the Wii isn't as bad as some people claim. While the combat is somewhat repetitive, the upgrades actually help you and the ability to counter attack is useful when surrounded. The graphics aren't anything special, but the gameplay somewhat makes up for it. This is probably one to rent first, but for $40, it's not that bad.

    After all is said and done Captain America: Super Soldier plays a lot like a watered downed Batman: Arkham Asylum, but with decent Wii controls thrown in.

    Quite entertaining in the first moments, Captain America fails on the long run, when its undeniable faults come out. The cheap visuals give the fatal blow to a product which should have deserved more care.
