Captain America and the Avengers is a sidescrolling beat-em up or brawler that allows you to play as Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, or Vision. Each has their own special powers. Captain America can use his shield as a projectile weapon, Iron Man can shoot a light beam out of his hands, Hawkeye has a bow and arrow, and Vision can shoot a light beam out of his eyes. I happen to like beat-em ups, so this game satisfied my need. The characters fight their way to face Red Skull, who has used a mind-control device to use super villains as his pawns. There are some funny English translations that are hilarious in this game. The art style is very well done, and the vibrant colors bring to mind a comic book. I would recommend this game to SNES owners who are looking for a beat-em up (also Batman Returns is a good beat-em up). This game may be a little short for some, with only five levels.
