All in all, I found it to be a fun game. It was good but not great. It could have used a bit more "fine tuning" but it still came out a better product than the recent bombs Sega has scraped up with the Marvel license. Since Cap doesn't fly, that was one area they didn't have to mess with so they could focus on combat.
Synopsis: The story of the game takes place entirely in WW2. It's not the complete journey from Cap's origin to him getting frozen after stopping the missile (although, that might not have been a bad thing being that it would have added a few more hours to the game)but rather, it's just one segment of his battles during the war. Your goal is to assist the allies in stopping Hydra from using the Super Soldier serum that created you as a weapon of their own. The story is pretty much the kind you would expect from a solid summer action movie, so it works for this game.
Gameplay: The most important part. For the most part, combat is pretty solid. It's basically a mix between Batman Arkham Asylum and X-Origins Wolverine. The combat isn't as fast or as smooth as the other two probably because they used the Unreal engine, but it's still effective. It's fun to do spin kicks on Nazis and deflect bullets back at enemies with your shield. You can also throw your shield as a weapon and it's also your main defense. As you defeat enemies, you will build up energy you can use for super finishing moves. Each one of these moves comes with a bone-crushing slow motion (kind of like the x-ray attacks in the new Mortal Kombat). There are also several puzzles and "obstacle courses" mixed in the gameplay to keep it from getting too repetitive.
Graphics and Sound: The graphics aren't the best, Sega could have spent more time tuning them up. They're still passable, not great but not horrible either. If the game came out 4 years ago, the graphics would have been on par with most of the other games out at the time, but not with the technology we have now. The music is okay, but it's nothing memorable. The voice acting is probably the best part. Chris Evans does fine as well as the rest of the cast.
Cons: Like I said, the game is good but not great. Aside from the graphics and the fact that the game is only about 7 hours long, there are a few other things I wanted to point out. One thing that really bothered me was the controls. They're not bad, but there's just no alternative controls or options to change them to your liking. Most of the time I took a hit was when I held L2 to block (Wolverine) instead of L1 in this game or when I pressed Triangle to counter (Batman) instead of pressing Circle in this game. A controls option would have been nice. Also, sometimes it became very confusing on where to go to your next objective unless you looked at the map very carefully. An option to click L3 or R3 to point to next objective (Dead Space) would also have been convenient.
Cons Cont. (SPOILER ALERT) You do NOT fight Red Skull in the entire game...EVER! Not even at the very end. The final "boss" is a robot controlled by Zola and about a dozen Hydra soldiers. You only see Red Skull in cut-scenes. I'm sorry but it's almost an unwritten rule, you have to have a one-on-one final boss fight with your arch enemy at the end of every action game like this, especially a super hero game. After I beat Zola, I was excited thinking "okay, I'm about to finally fight Red Skull! Man, he's probably gonna be hard as crap." No dice; I was very disappointed.
So, there you have it. IMO, this game is not worth $60, but for me, it was $37.49 (AMAZON) that I didn't regret. It's probably not for everyone, but hopefully, my review will at least let you know what you're in for.
I can easily recommend this version of the game to anyone considering it. You will love it. A wonderful tie-in to the movie and a lot of fun for comic book fans.
Well Done Sega!!! Marvel can be proud!
