I wasn't sure what to think when I saw this disc in the bargain bin, but I got it and I wasn't disappointed.

First, one of the most fun things about this game is the Jack Kirby-esque look. I love the comic book cut scenes with the art that is a direct copy from Jack Kirby. Because of this, a possibly very corny game is saved and turned into a classic looking gaming. The characters in the game are fun, and the missions you do aren't creative, but they are classic super-hero missions. The create-a-character option in the game is a whole lotta fun as well. And with the many meshes and skins you can download online, you can make any character you want in the game. You can make Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, Batman (even the Azriel armor version), and on and on. The limits to the characters are only how limited you are to looking through volumes of sites and forums online. And the RPG feel of gaining superhero points and building your characters is a lot of fun. The game play is easy enough. Point, click, bash is about as simple as it gets. You are in control of a team at times and team can sometimes do what they want without any regard to what they need to do. Because of this sometimes the AI gets you into trouble and can cause you to fail a mission because an allie dies. The sounds on the game are great. The voices are over the top and campy, and they perfectly fit the feel of the game. Remember those old 70s comic book cartoons on tv that was just the original cartoon cell with basic movements, but no real action? That's what this game is like. Even the voices from those old campy shows seem to be immitaded. All in all, I think old school comic book fans will really enjoy this one. I think other people than that will aswell, but some people may not enjoy the gameplay as much as others will.
