   If recent trailers have got you excited for Steve Rogers's big-screen outing, Captain America: Super Soldier won't exactly fill the void until the film's release. Like its protagonist, the game has noble intentions, attempting to reproduce Arkham Asylum's winning yet elusive formula by restricting the campaign to a single sprawling location and equipping you with a rich combat system. But ultimately it's not enough to save Cap from movie-tie-in mediocrity. Read more

   Moments where Captain America became a joy to play did exist, but they were few and far between. Any hints of promise this game exhibited during previews earlier in the year were dashed before the end of the first couple of chapters. Super Soldier isn't as dire as earlier Marvel games, there's just not much substance to keep even an avid fan of the character interested. Read more

   • combat is pretty decent, quick game if you like fast & easy achievements, stays faithful to the look and feel of the film
   • completely forgettable, repetitive enemies and environment interaction, very little replayability, even the 'challenge' mode can be done in no time

   The individual elements in Super Soldier aren't that impressive. Punishment-free platforming, a dull story, and homogenized visuals make you feel like a super zero, and the tame boss fights fail to inject much excitement into your adventure. But combat is the focus in the Captain's latest game, and that's where its strength lies. Read more

   • Smooth and exciting combat, Hunting down hidden objects is rewarding, High-flying platforming portions look neat.
   • Boring visual design, Dispassionate storytelling.

   Surprisingly enjoyable, decent quality character action game. If you can get it for a steal, you'd struggle to have a bad time. Pros Fun, simple gameplay – Baby’s first Character Action game Great sound design, coupled with real voices of characters from movie Achievements galore! Cons Hard to pick definitive flaws – nothing so much wrong with the game as it is just not polished to kingdom come. Everything could be slightly better, but nothing is wrong per say. Read more
