Half a Marvel

Fast start, slow finish

Spider-Man enters in a flash and the game starts off well; fast, fun and witty. Both the action and general feel hits the Spider-Man cartoon notes great. Attacks are flashy and extreme but all very accessible. More and more characters join in along the way, but the fun slows down and feels a little too plain to really stand out in the end.

All flash, no finish

Even though both character choice and attacks are plenty and varied, button-mashing will clear most screens out without any real thought to strategy. The different levels are OK but are little more than a straight rail turned into a curvy trail and doesn’t let you stray off-course. Even though there’s some good fun to be had here, without a real challenge and missing that little extra polish to keep you locked in, it doesn’t really linger in your memory.

Pros & Cons
