      cool. I guess i'll check this one out tomorrow. I got it shipped from Gamefly on Wednesday of last week.... Precisely why I'm about to cancel again...takes too damn long for games to arrive.

        Game is ADDICTIVE as hell!!!!!!!!!!! I've played for 9 hours straight and I never play something that long. I wasn't really even looking forward to it but it turned out to be a good pick-up.

          It's a hell of a lot of fun though. I wound up having to FORCE myself to stop playing last night at around 2 A.M.

          I kept getting stuck on the Captain America solo mission. Those friggin' bombs kept going off on me for some reason. I was hitting the buttons correctly(I thought)...so I don't know what gives.

          The Thing is awesome in this game. He practically beat that Giant head guy(the guy with the acronym for a name who asks you the questions) by himself. Captain America and Ironman both got knocked out....so I as Thor just kept killing the guards(and in the process releasing energy and strength) and The Thing took care of BigHead for me.

          I need hints!!!

          I was up playing that exact mission at 2AM also, stupid 3rd bomb. Then I didn't figure out what to do to stop the missle the first time I got to it.

            Figuring out the best angle to fire Caps shield into a room to take out the most enemies is fun. Depending on the shape of the room, you can fire it in, let the door close, and watch it do its thing.

            Has anyone played the Kurse side mission? Asgaard is pretty cool.

              This game is a blast. I got away from reading comics around/the Onslaught storyline but to this day have a pretty big collection that goes way back - rarely take them out. But this game has a lot of nice little touches that remind me of the books. Only on the Atlantis level now. They did a pretty good job with differentiating the characters. Some I'm not sure why they're in the game (like Moon Knight) but overall I've had a ball playing as various teams.

              I also like how you get boosts for putting your team together a certain way (all XMen, all Avengers, etc.). I played as the FF and fought the Super Skrull on a training mission (there seems to be a lot of unlockable side missions like these too which is cool). Currently playing as the XMen. The game is definitely a worthy purchase; can see myself playing this through several times.

                Played the 360 version and some early thoughts:

                -Graphics are solid, not the best, but very good for a game of this type.

                -The gameplay is X-Men Legends on steroids...but for me, much more fun than XML although I think it's because of the Marvel characters in the game

                My team right now is Deadpool, Spider Man, Thor, and Daredevil. I'll swap Thor away for Black Panther (fav comic book character) once I get all the figures

                  Have you guys been running through the simulator missions? Some of the missions are pretty fun and you gain extra money and XP. To unlock these you need to collect comic books BTW.

                      Man, Captain America is no freakin joke! I defeated FFF with Cap all by himself, the other heroes bit the dust. That shield flying around is beautiful to watch when he throws it around. I also like the way he blocks with his shield. This game is amazingly fun! Best of the series by far.

                      I had forgotten about Dum Dum Duggan and the whole shield crew. I used to read Nick Fury's comic back in the day and was pleasantly surprised to see Dum Dum in the game. It brought back memories, I used to have a giant marvel comic collection.

                          Wait until you can control the flight of the sheild, that takes some getting used to, but it is a blast when you get it down. THere are so many great special powers, I don't see how I am going to keep from going through this game more than once. Spider-Man's web-grab then spin them around is probably my favorite so far. And seeing the Human Torch light up the room with his fire moves is pretty great.

                          I still haven't beaten one of the Training Simulations yet, I've tried CA, Iron Man and The Thing. I've picked up Dr. Strange's but have yet to attempt it.

                          I really enjoy how there are a lot of RPG things to do in between the missions while at your base. It can get a little monotonous if you are in a hurry but have to run and ask somebody something then give the answer to somebody else, but it really does bring in more of an RPG feel during those off times. And you get to pick up some extra side-mission opportunities.

                            If you were a comic geek who read every Marvel Universe encyclo-comic from cover to cover, this game is a dream come true. Seeing 3rd-tier baddies in videogame form is pretty cool. I can't wait to finish each mission to see who's around the corner. If Batroc the Leaper makes an appearance...

                              I am really loving this game. The hardest part is who to pick. I put together a team of Cap, Spidey, The Thing and Wolverine and called them the New Defenders.

                              The only thing missing from the game is the Hulk and it's a shame that legal silliness kept him from us.

                                I think they did a great job balancing things for non-comic fans and hardcore comic fans. They give brief history lessons of the heros for non-fans like myself, those are pretty interesting to hear. But at the same time they have these relatively unknown people all over the place to make the hardcore people happy. Well done, now if we could get a game with about 4 or 5 times as many playable characters, I think everybody would be happy.
