DHGF: While no one will ever accuse Avengers: Battle From Earth of suffering from SNK End Boss Syndrome, it’s still a pretty fun game that completely redefines how we think of and play fighting games. The A.I. is exceptionally easy, but against another person, the limited roster and move sets force fighting game aficionados to really think about what they are doing. Every move has a tell, as well as a counter which means you have to be as fast with your wits as you are with your hands. Arcade mode is a one and done affair, but Campaign and Challenges will keep you busy for many an hour as you while away the time trying to complete them. It’s not the greatest fighting game ever made, or of the year, or even for the Wii U, but it’s a fun game that make fine use of the license and makes excellent use of the Wii U’s control options. What more can you ask more – besides a little more challenge I mean?

I’ll open this by saying that Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth (Wii U) is a terrible game. Like, it’s REALLY BAD, you guys. The most repetitive, simplistic, fighting game I’ve played in my memory, and certainly the worst game I own for the Wii U. “SO WHY DO YOU OWN IT?” Well, I’ll tell you: because my six-year-old son loves it.
Nintendo Life: Let's face it – for the uninitiated, the fighting genre can be daunting. Millisecond-perfect timing and the memorisation of several-button-presses-long combos are often essential to win, and unfortunately not everybody has enough time to spend shining up their Shoryukens. Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth lowers the entry barrier to the genre, ensuring that anybody can get in on the action, though its overly simplified approach may have hardcore fighter fans sneering “zero” rather than “hero”.
Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth is a fighting game developed by Ubisoft Quebec. It was originally released for Xbox 360 (Kinect) at the end of 2012, though has now been released on the Wii U
