Lego Marvel Superheroes Video Game Release Date

it's not that i don't like the lego games.i really do. my thing is, over the last several games, i've this unshakable feeling that...man,these are kind of all the same. not much varies from one to the next in terms of their coregameplay. button-mashy combat, collect the studs, solve basic puzzles...i mean, theychange the structure, but in terms of what you're doing?

Lego Marvel Superheroes Video Game Release Date, it's always...kind of the same. as pretty and massive as it may be? i don'tknow, i feel like it's...kind of the same. and i'm not saying that's a bad thing. i'mjust saying it's a thing. if you're a marvel fan, this game's gonna make your brain explodeinto a million lego pieces.

but if you've gotten tired of these games? i don't know that this one, great as it is,is gonna change your mind. now, that said...seriously, this thing's gonnablow marvel fans away. there are more than 150 playable characters from the marvel universe.that's just...i mean, that's just insane. from the x-men to the fantastic four to theavengers, oh and about 100 freaking others...this is like a marvel encyclopedia, but done inlego pieces. and instead of reading it, you get to playit. and i guess, if i sound at all negative aboutthis game...i really don't mean to. because i had a good time with it. i think part ofmy problem is...i mean, i'm not really a big

marvel fan, so all the sameness of the experiencestrikes me a bit more, i think. to be fair, if this were lego ninja turtles, i'd probablybe a lot less concerned about that sameness. like any lego title, it's really for fansof whatever franchise it's taking on. i mean, i probably can't even appreciate thisgame's scale on a level that a big marvel fan would, but...holy crap, it's massive.not only are you playing as characters from different series, but you also have bad guysfrom different series. all mixed together, just like a big marvel pasta salad. each missionstarts off with you chasing after a bad guy, and as the levels unfold, it's basically anelaborate chase scene...which is kind of cool. then again...i mean, am i crazy, or...that'sall kind of the same, too? yeah?

the puzzles are...certainly puzzles. usually,it's just about which character has the right ability, so you just switch to the right oneand boom. you're golden. not much thinking involved. these games are more about mindlessfun, and they are. i love smashing things made from lego and then rebuilding them intomore useful things...that lego whimsy never gets old. even if the gameplay might. one of my favorite lego games is actuallylego city, because i think the lego gameplay lends itself especially well to an open world,as opposed to linear missions. these lego titles seem to be using that more and moreto their advantage. marvel super heroes has

its main missions, but there's also a hubworld. you have a huge city to explore between missions, packed with stuff to find and charactersto unlock. and that really helps to break up the monotony that can set in during themissions themselves. of course, it also helps that the game isso huge. there's always something new to find, some kind of amazing marvel character forfans to lose their mind over. and honestly, it kind of makes me jealous. had i grown upwith marvel comics, i'd be just as pumped as you guys. i'm just...i'm waiting for lego ghostbusters.with bated breath. so if you came here to hear a marvel superfan freak out about this game...sorry. there

are plenty of people doing that. as someonewho doesn't really know the characters, though...it's easier to point out that, if you're not ahuge fan, this game isn't for you. it's not one of those games that transcends its franchise,you know? it's not so good that it doesn't matter. because beneath all the marvel love? it'sjust more of the same lego. for better or worse.
