I love Lego and Marvel, and if you add the two together, you end up with brick-smashing awesomeness. I wasn't particularly keen on Lego's previous superhero game, Batman 2: DC Superheroes, but I had a lot of faith in this game due to the incredible roster of characters, the immense scale of the hub and the epic story built with action and comedy. I also enjoyed the Lego Lord of the Rings, and Lego City Undercover so Lego games had regained my faith. The detail put into characters such as Iron Man and the Avengers, Spider-Man, Wolverine and the X-men and so many more famous comic book heroes and villains was awesome. They nailed the behaviour of the characters, actions, looks, all perfect. The game also has great voice acting like Nolan North as Deadpool, who is as funny as ever, alongside more great voice actors like Adrian Pasdar, Clark Gregg, Laura Bailey, Roger Craig Smith, Steve Blum, Travis Willingham and so many more great voices. This game proved Deadpool didn't need explicit content to be Deadpool, but most probably the best character is the one, the only, Stan Lee. Lego Marvel is a creative, hilarious and action-packed game with so many surprises in store. Perfect for any True Believer. 10/10.

It's not a perfect game, or anything amazing, but it's a really fun game. I was surprised that it was an original and not a retelling of another story, the story itself isn't anything amazing, it's still a lego game, and it's still made for kids, but if you just wanna have some fun playing a lego game, I would recommend it for you.

When I first got this game I loved it, I had very little faults with the game and had an overall enjoyable time.

But after returning 5 years later to get the platinum trophy on the PS4 I've come to realise how much of a buggy mess this game is. With somehow being able to collect the same mini kits pushing me other the mini kit completion with many levels, many characters missing from the map preventing me from 100% the game (like the ghost rider missions which are missing preventing me to get Spiderman F.F. and Mr Fantastic F.F.) and various other bugs that can completely ruin any enjoyment.

By far the worst Lego game I've ever played which saddens me greatly to say.

This one isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. My biggest issue is the lack of clear direction while roaming NYC once you complete the core mission. Lots to do, but it can be frustrating finding things to do. It's also geared to Iron Man and others than can fly with a lot of missions and goodies only being available to those who can get to the top of the many skyscrapers on the map. I guess this lends itself to the team concept of the game, but it leaves you out if you are trying to do everything with, say Wolverine, or Deadpool. The game play is tight and the super heroes have diverse fun powers, so one you figure out the mission is a blast. The gold standard for Lego games seems to be "Star Wars: The Complete Saga." and that was because the missions were clear and the "home" hub was familiar. This game does that with the HeliCarrier, but it can still be confusing as to what the next mission may be. Overall it's a nine out of ten. I little bit better direction around the city would give it a point to be a 10.
