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. Read more

This is a company I grew up on, and which I find upon reflection left some impact on my childhood upbringing and the development of my adult viewpoints and approach to life. Amid all the superheroic mayhem, big issues were addressed. Metaphysical and existential subject matter were touched on. Read more

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 turned into a game, heck it is a Saturday morning cartoon for goodness sake. Read more

Wolverine, Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man. Who doesn’t love at least one of these characters? These comic book superheroes have become such an integral part of our lives that they’re practically legendary. As kids, we wanted to be them (and often dressed as them for Halloween). As teens, we couldn’t part with their respective toys because we considered them to be “collectors’ items.” And as adults we flock to movie theaters every summer to see them on the... Read more

A clone of recent LEGO games with nothing that made them good. Read more
- Good voice cast, Entertaining for fans of the show
- Mostly boring, Annoying dialogue, Nonexistent gameplay

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. Read more
- Silly story is so bad that it's good, Lots of different characters, with a healthy mix of the popular and obscure.
- Combat is dull and repetitive, Awful camera when more than one player is onscreen, Battle mode is severely imbalanced, Archaic, unimaginative visuals.

Don't bother unless you have young kids. Not much depth, very basic storyline ripped directly from the TV series and frankly, it's going to play a lot like Lego Star Wars and Double Dragon. Pros It has Wolverine. And Spiderman. Also appropriate for kids. Cons Not really a very depth-based title. Graphics are ordinary. Loading times wierd and the game seemed to be a little rough from a loading point of view. Read more
