  1. Marvel Super Hero Squad

    Reviewer: GameSpot
    30 October 2009

    Marvel Super Hero Squad never comes close to capturing the thrill of superpowered crime fighting. As you walk down nondescript corridors and through unimaginative evil lairs, repeatedly slamming on the punch button as wave after wave of faceless robots attack you, you'll wonder how such an exciting concept could have been squandered so spectacularly. The ridiculous story isn't nearly entertaining enough to compensate for the monotonous combat, and the simple Battle mode... Read more

    by Matthew Walker I've made no secret that I love comic books. In general, I like every interpretation of the comic book characters I grew up reading about. Whether it be in television shows, live action or animated, video games and even the usual misinterpretation by Hollywood. Read more

    Developer: Blue Tongue Publisher: THQ Features Players: 1-4 Wii Remote Nunchuck Any kid nowadays should know of the Marvel Super Hero Squad line of action figures. For those kids, or adults for that matter of fact, who are not, I recommend that you just take a walk down to your local Toys R Us where you will find oodles of these pintsized takes on the Marvel Super Hero universe. They are cute and fun to look at. It was only a matter of time before this line of toys was... Read more

    Surprising, considering Blue Tongue gave us last year’s funk-’em-up, de Blob. There’s nary of hint of that creativity in MSHS’ repetitive goon waves and quick-time events. A four-player battle mode offers a spark of invention – arena- based fights act as boss battles – alas, what good is a beat-’em-up mode with only two moves? Imagine Street Fighter IV restricted to fireballs. No fun at all. Deep inside the mediocrity there’s a heroic alter-ego waiting to... Read more

    Marvel Super Hero Squad is a great children’s game, it’s easy to play, it’s funny and fun, and if your kids are fans of the TV series then I think they’ll enjoy this game very much. For children this is a great super hero type game that they’ll be able to pick up and play easily with little or no help from an adult. Part of the things that make this game bad for adults like repetition and easiness make it that much more enjoyable and accessible to children. If... Read more

  1. Not good for little little kids, but a KID game for sure.

    I bought this game for my 31/2year old who loves super heroes. He doesn't really play video games though and didn't GET it. My 8 year old on the other hand is addicted to this game and unlocking all the locked characters. Read more or see product
