Kick-Ass 2 Review [Gaming Union]

Gaming Union: "Video games based on film properties have been around longer than many of us care to remember, and not in the good way. They are often the unnecessary by-product of a studio wishing to capitalise on the hype of their property and as a result, tend to lack the certain degree of quality that gamers have come to expect from rival products. They are also often released at almost exactly the same time, to maximise marketing efforts. That’s why the release of Kick-Ass 2 is rather strange, because it comes 9 months after the release of the film and is nowhere near good enough to be able to stand on its own two feet."
