    A fan-pleasing odyssey into Marvel lore that's a little overshadowed by past glories. [Jan 2018, p.86]

    LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is a pure dose of fan service to Marvel enthusiasts, with its long list of characters, recognizable locations and its nods to storylines and in-jokes, but I feel that these games have lost their way over time. It isn’t to say that I didn’t enjoy my time with it, but I certainly won’t be going back to it time and again, trying to achieve that 100% completion stat.

    Perhaps both the best and worst LEGO game available on Xbox One.

    LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2 is a step back for the franchise, which is a shame given the excellent recent release of LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game. Sure, there’s plenty of content to dive into and a massively impressive roster of characters, as well as several diverse and well designed environments, but this means very little when the actual gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. AI companions are shocking and absolutely irritating to the point of forcing you to plug in a second pad to get the job they were tasked with, done. There’s also far too much going on to comfortably digest the plot in the sense of where you are going and what you’re doing.

    A case of diminishing returns, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is certainly ambitious in terms of scale and playable character numbers, while the story is entertaining. Yet it fails to deliver anything really new or interesting, making this a case of been there, done that. The first LEGO Marvel game is better.

    Fun, heroic stuff, especially for younger players. [Issue#195, p.74]

    LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is in an odd spot where only diehard comic book fans will really appreciate all of its references, but those that already care about these characters will want to see them interact in more meaningful ways. Instead of giving players an interesting original story, it’s just yet another by-the-numbers LEGO title that will leave players occasionally laughing between bouts of frustration between its dull combat and often counterintuitive puzzles. Ultimately, this is one brick that doesn’t have to be collected.

    I’ve been enjoying playing LEGO game’s for a number of years now and whilst I find these game’s incredibly fun I can’t help but feel someI’ve been enjoying playing LEGO game’s for a number of years now and whilst I find these game’s incredibly fun I can’t help but feel some changes need to be made to breath new life into the series. Unfortunately no changes are evident in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, but this doesn’t hold it back in terms of the fun factor. If you like an array of characters then you will love this game. Each character has been done really well and the best thing is that no character has been left undervalued. As usual with LEGO game’s there is a huge amount of content to sink your teeth into and I’ve already sunk a huge amount of hours in and it still remains fun, which is great. You will notice though that the game does suffer with a few technical issues and these can be game-breaking at times. I also suffered with a few problems when it came to the controls in the game, and whenever they went unresponsive it did make me become frustrated quite considerably. Something that will ease that frustration is the story in the game. The story is very interesting and packed full of humour, and the best thing is that the humour used is actually pretty funny. The campaign in the game works perfectly with the story and has a lot of variety, and I only wish there was this much variety with the gameplay mechanics. I found the presentation side of the game to be extremely well done, especially when it came to the sound design. The sound design is definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had in a LEGO game so far and a special shout out has to go to the voice actors. At the end of the day fans of LEGO game’s will once again find enjoyment here, but I must admit that some parts of the game’s style are starting to grow stale. Some changes are definitely needed in my opinion and when you combine this with the technichal issues the game has then you can become quite frustrated. It is however not a bad game and it has lots of fun throughout, there are however better LEGO games out there but it does just enough to get a thumbs up from me.… Full Review »
