We could do without the simple stealth moments, but those are easy to forget when the rest of the game is running on all cylinders. The wait for a sequel is going to be excruciating, because we want to see what Insomniac does next with our favorite wall-crawler.

This game allows the player to control many different Marvel characters. Marvel and Luke Cage. Each character has their own abilities and can be used in different situations. Other console versions might have featured different characters, but the but majority of them are still found on this Playstation 2 version. The game dove deeper into the Marvel Universe than any other game, seemingly cramming every character and comic connection into the game that could fit.
That, along with the number of different four character party combinations, give this great game a large replay value. The big improvement in this game was that players chose three characters to use throughout the battles, as opposed to the two that players chose in the past. The "Marvel vs.
Capcom" series is not only a great superhero game, it is also an amazing fighting game. It has tons of different characters all with different powers and abilities.
Instead of generic characters or characters that are clearly rip offs of more famous heroes and villains, here you play with the real deal. Cyclops, Hulk, Storm and Venom are all playable, among other characters. The 2. Well, Capcom characters make up half of the game. The beat-em-up gameplay might be too simple for some, but what makes this game great is the art design and the story. The game introduces Sin Tzu, a new villain created by Jim Lee.
Other villains appear, but nowhere near the number that show up in the Arkham series. Obviously the game has to expand upon certain events and tailor them for compelling gameplay, but no new major plot points or characters are added into the game. This style blends well with the story and helps keep the game from being too tonally different from the film it is adapted from. This would be the only game based on "The Dark Knight Trilogy," which is a shame.
The thing that makes all the games in the Lego series so great is that the player can chose to breeze through the game or devote hours to making sure they do absolutely everything there is do. The lighthearted tone is uncharacteristic of a Batman game, but a welcome change in pace. Two sequels would follow and add more characters and features, but this is the only installment for the PS2.
The game has Superman dealing with some of his best villains, including Darkseid, Parasite, Metal, Livewire and, of course, Lex Luthor. Based on the Cartoon Network series version of the Titans, "Teen Titans" is surprisingly similar in tone to the series. Just as the cartoon had a wacky and often self aware vibe to it, the game has the five Titans transported inside of a game that they were sent that features them.
The gameplay is nothing groundbreaking or even really anything to write home about. Much like its title character, the game is dark, gritty, violent, and definitely not for kids.
Players control the Punisher through a story that is similar to that of the movie, but not a direct adaptation. The game has other Marvel characters pop up as well. In a time before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, seeing the Punisher voiced by Thomas Jane interact with other characters in the Marvel universe was a novelty.
What makes other Marvel characters appearances all the more surprising is the fact that they showed up in such a mature and adult-oriented game. Which superhero video game was your favorite? Was it a PS2 title?
