The Married Gamer: I recently checked out Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, the new Marvel fighting game for the Xbox 360 Kinect. While I have previously spent a lot of time appreciating how all the Avengers have a way of filling out their spandex outfits and was excited to get my hands on them…I mean…the game… having a son who is a budding comic book geek has recently given me much more insight into the characters and series.

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
