Gossip Gamers: "We’ve just got in some big news for the upcoming Marvel Universe Online MMO but without a release date, it’s time to get our itch scratched with another one of Gazillion’s Marvel game, Super Hero Squad Online which is now in open live beta."
Test Freaks writes: "I've got another kids game today for review, this one is Marvel Super Hero Squad. If you're an adult, you'll find this game rather boring as it's extremely repetitive, but if you're a young child then you'll love it, or if you've got kids who are fans of the TV series then this game will make them very happy. Marvel Super Hero Squad is available on a few platforms but I've got it for review for the Nintendo Wii, meaning that you'll do more than button mashing, you'll be using the motion features of the Wii to help you play the game. The graphics are actually decent, the heroes and villains are shrunk down, exaggerated versions of their full sized adult counterparts, if you've seen the TV series then you'll be familiar with them I'm sure."
Nintendojo writes: "Marvel Comics has done a pretty good job over the years when it comes to co-op superhero titles. The best of the lot are probably the X-Men Legends and Marvel: Ultimate Alliances franchises, which pitted favorite Marvel characters against their mortal enemies in the context of a tried-and-true action RPG template. Marvel Super Hero Squad is not one of those games. On the contrary, Super Hero Squad takes the Marvel license a step backward, even by the lowly standards of children's games, stripping out the depth and fun that other Marvel games have long offered."
As the world of comicbook heroes become more and more popular in both the movies and video games, the Nintendo Wii sometimes misses out on these blockbuster games but fortunately the Marvel Super Hero Squad has flown onto this console as gamers control a variety of Marvel Universe comicbook character.
I might recommend this game to my nephews.
