Marvel Super Hero Squad 


I picked up Super Hero Squad yesterday to play with the kids. It's basically a simplified version of the X-Men Legends and Ultimate Alliance games geared to a younger audience. Generally speaking the developers have managed to make it kid friendly, at least in terms of difficulty level. Attacking is simple, and you don't have to worry about using every button on the controller. What they don't do, unfortunately, is tell you anything about the special moves you can perform. You have to kind of figure out how to do those on your own.

The other thing that they seem to have forgotten is SAVE POINTS. I grabbed some video, and I had to play for almost 40 minutes to get through 5 stages to get to a save point. Sure, you could continue from the beginning of each if you died, but if you stop playing your progress is lost. So far I've only tried out adventure mode, and when i was playing with oldest, he was having fun.

You also get to play as some characters that aren't available (as far as I know) in the other team super hero games, such as Silver Surfer and Falcon.

To me, this seems like it could have been a Lego-style game.

I don't like it when game developers don't bother to give you the ability to save your progress regularly/frequently. Okay, a simple shooter without a save progress function is no big deal, but a game with a story-line should have it.

I would have been fun as a Lego game, but I think Mega Blocks has the rights to Marvel licenses. ;)
