Wow... this game got terrible reviews. Nvm, I'm not curious anymore.
5 - 6 hours of gameplay. $10/hour for a story mode? Thats a bit rubbish.

Sigh... how lazy and stupid do you have to be to ruin a premise with SO MUCH potential? Come on guys, show of hands, who DIDNT want to play a video game where you are a new X-men recruit, complete with character editor and branching paths.
One of these days we might get something worthwhile.

Worth renting; it has a sort of X-Men: Legends-style beat-em-up thing going, the story and the customization options offer limited replay value. Production design's decent. Liked it overall, loved the first playthrough, but trying to go through again left me feeling less into it.

Just watched the IGN review. Sad.

One of these days we might get something worthwhile. Not the X-Men, but Freedom Force from years ago on the PC (and the follow up, FF vs the 3rd Reich) allowed you to build your own characters and level them up etc. That to me has been the only decent superhero RPG worth playing that springs to mind. Everything else has been arcade style beat 'em ups (which, whilst fun, aren't rpgs). There's not been a great track record for Superhero games unless you like button mashing. (I played City of heroes to death, and it, like every other MMORPG, is an endless treadmill of going to a) doing things then going to b) and doing things, and going back to a) having completed b). Then repeat for 50 levels or whatever the level cap was.)

It seemed like it had a lot going against it from the beginning.
A Marvel game where you can’t play as a Marvel character just reminds me of Marvel Nemesis and games with “morality paths” tend to be a little too black and white to feel like you’re really role-playing.
Plus I've read that the gameplay is less than great.
I hear the story is good though.

Marvel Nemezis wasnt all THAT bad. It wasnt good at all, but I had a decent time platying story mode, but Imperfects were just lame all over. Except the last chick, she was kinda interesting.
Marvel game where you play as a new, preset character - lamer. Marvel game where you MAKE a new character - yes please.

Marvel: Nemesis? Never heard of it.
I liked the old X-Men games that were similar (Legends?), even if you didn't get original characters.

One of these days someone is going to invent a thingy that assembles speech using the basic model of an individual's voice. In the same way CG can make people appear in scenes that they weren't actually in, this technique would make it sound as though someone was saying something they didn't actually say.
This would allow you to enter your own name into a game and have characters in the game realistically pronounce your name during cut scenes - which is important because it is the only thing stopping games from letting you truly create your own character. You can currently select their build, their facial features, their clothes, etc, but no matter what name you enter in, they always have to find some way around actually saying your goddamn name in the cut scenes. And for some stupid reason, cut scenes are utterly essential these days, so if you want any kind of decent story in a game at all, you're forced to pick predetermined characters.
Someone make this stupid technology already!

We rented it via Redbox. My 9yo son, who is a huge Marvel fan, loves it. I've been watching him play the game and I don't think it's anything like as bad as the reviewer made it out to be. That said, it definitely isn't a Marvel Ultimate Alliance-level game (love those, especially the second).
Cheers, Cam

Ya, it looks side.
Does anyone remember that badass side scrolling X-men game in the arcade? they need to bring that back.
