Game Review – Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet
November 23, 2010 // 0 Comments
!’m a big fan of the Super Hero Squad cartoon, but I found the original video game to be a mediocre affair. As such, you’re probably wondering why I decided to review the second. Well there are three reasons. The first is, as I mentioned earlier, I LOVE THE CARTOON. The second is that it involves the Infinity Gauntlet, which, for my money, is Marvel’s best crossover story ever. The third reason is that the original game only came out for the PS2, PSP, Wii and DS. I played the original on the PSP and decided to be optimistic and chalk up the issues with the game to PSP issues. I was crossing my fingers in hopes that the series would perform better on a next gen console.
So did the Super Hero Squad “HERO UP” or did they fail like Abomination trying to beat MODOK at a game of chess?
Let’s Review
1. Story/Modes
The plot of the game is basically an alternative version of the second season of the cartoon series (which hasn’t finished airing yet, so it does kind of spoil things). In this version, Iron Man and Hulk are in space going to an inter-galactic Wal-Mart in an attempt to buy Thor some truly gaudy boots for his birthday, Unfortunately, the store mixes up their order with that of Thanos, who ordered something called an Infinity Gauntlet with six holes in it. In a good natured attempt to return the gauntlet, Iron Man and Hulk discover Thanos is pretty evil and that he plans to fill those holes with the Infinity Stones and conquer the universe. Because of this, Iron Man and Hulk steal (Yes, I know they’re the good guys but they have good intentions.) the Power Stone from Thanos and then reunite with the Super Hero Squad and assorted friends to collect all the stones.
