Even though I've seen plenty of bad reviews on this game, curiousity got the better of me and I rented it. My first reaction to the game was pretty much the same as the guy in the main review. But after playing it for a few hours, I like this game. You know how in the main review the guy complains about big glitches and horrid AI? That's quite exaggerated. Sure i've noticed the floor dissapear a couple times in one level, and the AI does have a habit of attacking thin air now and then, but when they decide to fight (which they usually do) things get fun. The main review says you can only gain spendable points by playing the arcade mode, and actually makes it out to be a BAD thing! Think about it: how else do you earn points in a fighting game!? Was he expecting some form of mini-game to get points? It's a fighting game, it's only natural to earn points by fighting. Besides, you can still earn points in quick one on one matches too(though I admit not as much).

Don't get me totally wrong, there are still downsides to the game. The graphics themselves are ok, but the character animations are indeed quite bad. The sound isn't very great either, but it's not horrible. Despite what the main review says, I think this game feels more like a comic then the console versions. The menu's look like a comic, it has more marvel locations, comic-style cut scenes(more along the lines of gum-wrapper comic panel in those, however), and alternate costumes from the comic. In the end, Marvel Nemesis for DS is rather enjoyable . However, I still suggest renting first if possible, or making sure you can trade it in for a different game, because this game isn't quite for everyone apparently.
