The Game itself is average to above average at best. The saving Grace is that you can totally mark out and control some of your favorite characters.
Magneto was a beast in the first game(xbox 360 only unfortunately) You could literally take enemy after enemy and just fling them off a bridge or over a hill, depending on the level that you were playing. Still, I am a bit dissapointed with the selections of some of the characters. I would have liked to have seen Dr. Doom, Maybe Cyclops, Nightcrawler, or the White Queen. what about Doc Ock, the Punisher or Firestar?
Again, I was a bit dissappointed in the Sim Missions, but if you love marvel, this game is worth a play.
