LEGO Marvel Avengers Preview | GameRevolution

GR:

Now if they can add the rest of the Great Lakes Avengers, that'd be something else.

Franchise properties are a precious thing in the gaming world. Trying to make a game that hews too close to the source material inevitably ends in failure. We've all seen the mediocre film tie-ins that force you to rigidly play through the same scenario as a film, book, or television show. So it's real interesting to watch TT Games with their LEGO properties; they've managed to carve out a comedy niche where they don't have to be too precious with their source material, since the games are essentially parodies. LEGO Marvel Avengers is no exception, splitting the difference between the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the TV shows, and the comics.
