I tried really, really hard to like Thor: God of Thunder and Green Lantern: The Rise of the Manhunters. They both felt like drab games that had been rushed to be released in time to sorta-kinda tie-in to their respective movies. Naturally, you can appreciate the trepidation with which I approached Captain America: Super Soldier, especially since it was developed by Griptonite who did the aforementioned Green Lantern game. However, I was surprised to find an enjoyable 2D brawler seasoned with a bit of nostalgia a gamer of my advancing years can appreciate."

Superheroes dominate the movie screen, but they almost never star in big-budget games. Why?

"You’ve seen the movies, but why hasn’t Marvel brought their film universe across to video games? In particular: Captain America"
I'm surprised the game got decent marks. Movie tie ins, especially super hero ones, almost always flop.
Captain America would be cool if he didn't use a trash can lid for a weapon.
