LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2

Ask any Lego game fan the best game in the entire franchise and nine out of ten will give you the same answer: Lego Marvel Super Heroes. Released in 2013, at the earlier days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that game had the perfect balance of MCU content with a more innocent and comic book-focused approach to every other character the media conglomerate had to offer. All while offering fun levels, witty and hilarious dialogue, and possibly the best open world setting in any Lego game to da...

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is a tried-and-true game for young kids everywhere who like the Marvel universe. There is a bit too much frustration with some parts of the game and the fighting can be very ho-hum for anyone out of diapers. That said, the humor, collection of heroes, length of the game, and overall quality makes this a no-brainer for kids everywhere. Just be ready to help 'em out.

All in all then, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is perhaps both the best and worst LEGO game available on Xbox One. The formula is getting a bit old now, and I really hope that TT Games is planning to change things up a little for future LEGO releases, but what really brings LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 down are its technical problems. While its story missions are fairly passable, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2′s open world is magnificent, and I see myself still getting lost in it for hours at time until every last mission and challenge has been completed. Providing that I don’t lose the will to live be...

The voice acting in Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 isn’t particularly good. Characters like Captain America and Thor sound stiff, as the actors were likely instructed to stick close to the MCU depictions of these characters. I don’t really get Marvel’s aversion to voice acting continuity either. For example, Rocket Raccoon has different voices in this game, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, and TellTale’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and he is by far not the only one. The inclusion of licensed music for Star-Lord’s walkman is a really nice touch though, and I hope to see more minor details like this included...

A case of diminishing returns, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is certainly ambitious in terms of scale and playable character numbers, while the story is entertaining. Yet it fails to deliver anything really new or interesting, making this a case of been there, done that. The first LEGO Marvel game is better.

LEGO Superheroes 2 adds more characters, references, and story to the previous entry while remaining to stand still is most other regards. Plenty of fun with friends or hunting down that last objective, but when left to your own devices, you might find yourself deviating.

Bringing together iconic Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains from different eras and realities, along with signature LEGO humor, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 transports players into a cosmic battle across a myriad of Marvel locations ripped from time and space into the incredible open hub world of Chronopolis.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is in an odd spot where only diehard comic book fans will really appreciate all of its references, but those that already care about these characters will want to see them interact in more meaningful ways. Instead of giving players an interesting original story, it’s just yet another by-the-numbers LEGO title that will leave players occasionally laughing between bouts of frustration between its dull combat and often counterintuitive puzzles. Ultimately, this is one brick that doesn’t have to be collected.

If there is one gaming franchise that keeps showing up to the party with the same ol' tricks, it is most definitely that of the licensed LEGO games. We've seen the brand tackle the Pirates of Caribbean, Batman, Jurassic Park, The Lord of the Rings, and many more lucrative properties through its LEGO

Mystics have often foreseen events such as the Moon landing, the Titanic sinking and every financial year LEGO dunking one of their licensed properties into their particular brand of gaming. Last year we saw the latest Star Wars film jump into the mix and this year we’re slipping back into the spandex with LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.
