    Still, it’s a solid rental and a good way to spend some time having a bit of fun. If you really want to kick ass as the Fantastic 4, go play Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

    I am not going to lie to you, I got so bored playing this game by myself that I didn’t finish it.

    The Wii controls add a thin veil to make you feel like you're not just mashing A the entire time, but you are. This game is literally you punching as your favorite member of the Fantastic Four for hours on end.

    The game follows a simple beat 'em up formula that will keep you entertained for awhile, but it lacks so much of the depth and creativity that we expect from the comics and movies.

    Nice effects, but the game is really boring. Enemies come, you kill them, you move on until more enemies come.

    You guys below don't know how to rate a game. This was the most repetitive game i've ever played. Each level is identical! No new You guys below don't know how to rate a game. This was the most repetitive game i've ever played. Each level is identical! No new details or anything. The whole game is hurting endless waves of enemies. I mean they should've added a chase level with the surfer or something but nope! This was an awful game with even worse graphics! It was short too! It lasted like an hour!… Full Review »

    Passable graphics, strong effects, clunky interface. Will keep the young ones happy, group attacks are fun.
