GodisaGeek: "The greatest shame is that there is a decent game in there somewhere. My first few hours spent with Battle for Earth were great fun. I laughed, cheered, cursed and generally had a good old time – but then I found that, quite all of a sudden, I’d mastered the combat system, perfected the linking of combos and seen pretty much everything the game had to offer. After just four hours of play, I had gotten everything from Battle for Earth that I was ever going to get. For a younger audience, it’s a decent enough title, and in co-op or versus mode there is genuine fun to be had – but played alone in any mode against the poor AI, it’s an incredibly shallow experience.

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
