I got this game a while ago. When I played it, it didn't seem so good. The first level was slooooooow and boooooooring. I put it down and I didn't play it for a while. Then I picked it up, where it was collecting dust (LOTS of dust) and played it. The opening level was not as slooooooow and boooooooring like it was. It was just a slow start. Now the second level fixed it. It began with Reed Richards waking up in a hospital and decides he must get out and find the others. That level puts you straight into the action... almost. This is not a tutorial level. This is a level. You must hack into a computer (Ratchet & Clank ahoy) and get out of the room. Then beat up guys. Then hack more computers and the level is done. Short... but sweet. Now the most fun character to play is unquestionably The Invisible Woman. She can go invisible and pull of many impressive move plus having the ability to look hot (Jessica Alba IS hot. Face it). My fav attack is "Force Wall". The second most fun is Mr. Fantastic. Im am totally overusing his "Spinning Fists" attack. 3rd comes The Human Torch. He got heat... literally. My fav attack is either "Fire Vortex" or "Fire Wall". The fourth is Ben Grimm or THE THING!!! Don't get me wrong, he is not boring, just not as fun as the others :P.

Overall: 9/10- Do not miss out on this one! The movie is heaven and so is the game. Get it!

-FINAL VERDICT-
Buy it. No rent. BUY!!!
Buy it along with Spider-Man 2.
And maybe Jak II and Jak 3.
I heard Destroy All Humans! is looking lovely this time of year.
Start being a fan of Jessica Alba like me!
Hope you make the right decicion and buy it.
Adios!

This is definatly the best game ever. I've never played anything
like it. This game has great graphics and you can use great moves. I really think you should get it. I'm not that far, but
still really like it!

Don't believe the hype

This is not a great game, it's not a good game, it's mediocre.
It is repetitive (to the nth degree), hard to understand what is required of the gamer, and the camera angles are hard to work with at times.
I spent too much money on this game, I read the first and only Amazon review and went out and bought it new. The previous reviewer is either an idiot or he's making money somehow.
Don't buy the game, rent it first and save some dough.

this game is pure garbage

I aint got nothin to say but graphics garbage, gameplay garbage, sound garbage. There's no way anyone can say this game 5 stars. I use the games case for a coaster. Its garbage.

I rented this game yesterday and played it today and I was impressed but not by much it's just kind of like X-Men Legends the screens being able to play all four characters but in X-Men you get to play 16 different characters but only 4 at a time, but my point is, is that it's OK but not as good as X-Men Legends, but I do recommend renting it before buying it.

Overall
Sound - 4.5
Control - 4.5
Graphics - 3.0
Game - 4.0

Fantastic

I loved this game. it was fun and the characters we're awesome. I liked all the cool missions of the game too. True half of the game wasn't from the movie but it was still fun. You got to fight FF Classic Villians, we'll almost. I mean you realy didn't go into battle with Mole-Man Or Puppetmaster. I think the best Villian was Dr. Doom. They should've had more story to him(Oh, Well). Overall it was a cool game. All of the FF Heros had cool combo attacks and super Moves. I enjoyed Playing The Thing & Mr. Fantastic. The Human Torch was kind of hard to fight with, because he was always flying. & The Invisible Woman was not so bad. They did a good job making the characters look like the Actors)Espcially The Invisibale Woman). All of the levels were fun too. The last level with Doctor Doom was pretty hard. But this was such an exceelent game.

worth a rent, then a purchase

All I have to say is this - Waste of Time.
Considering this game is made by the same people that created X-Men Lengends, this game was a grave disappointment. The characters were cool enough to control, but I found the game play to be terrible.

The cameras were set-up so poorly. They were designed so you could orient yourself around the character - good luck.
At one point during the Moleman mission, the game was so poorly set-up that going down a simple tunnel can take several minutes (for those of you with the patience to get this far, know what I'm talking about)

There are so many glitches, like backpacks just floating around the streets, boulders floating aimlessly over your head, and various other annomolies which I'm sure were not intentional.

And the co-op game play, which I was really looking forward to was not worth the effort. You only get to play as 2 of the 4 characters at a time, so which ever controller you're holding, you're stuck with that character. And because you are limited to the distance your characters can be from one another, if one of you is a one and and the other opposite, well, all and all, you're gonne get screwed - so lets just say it was easier playing in single-player. (But in single-player, you're looking from so low on the ground, good luck to seeing what is above and ahead of you.)

All-in-all, I had so many problems with this game, lets just say I returned it to the video store and rented a Lord of the Rings game instead, which, by the way, did not have such a poor set up that missions had to be played more than once.
