On a consolidated basis typical of the series, the new title of the areas in the game-free roaming and emphasizes the popular heroes of the Marvel universe.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes – Introduction
Ok, maybe disturb the legendary Pink Floyd may seem exaggerated, but Lego is certainly an idol in the history of play has a role no less important than that the British rock band in music. There are very few children of the last century than at least once in their lives have not been found in the hands of a Danish brick. A piece of history and costume short.
If, then with Lego ” life ” other pieces of history like the characters in Star Wars, Batman and the Lord of the Rings the level of excitement we ” nerd ” skyrockets. Especially if with these ingredients creates a long-lived saga of videogames. Everything comes when for the first-time TT Games creates and launches its first successful video game based on the world of Lego dedicated to ” Star Wars. ”
It’s been several years now, and securities ” Lego philosophy ” has been produced and launched many. How easy to imagine what unites all of these games is the fact that the world where you play is entirely made of hard plastic bricks ” Made in Denmark “.
But this is not only the backbone of the saga. The games are all each other a lot (maybe too much in some of these) like. Gameplay, game dynamics, HUD, carry out a common style. We move in a world quite narrow, and we will solve various puzzles to pass the levels. All this set in well-tended worlds of high-caliber graphics that reproduce some of the greatest heroes for every fan of comics and sci-fi respectable.
The repetitiveness of the saga perhaps thanks to the wisdom of the developers, has never been such a big problem with the series. The real fans, who are dedicated to these games, they love the fact that they know what awaits them, especially because the starting point is well-made and fun is guaranteed.
Even from a technical point of view you could not ask too much then the TT Games. Given the tight timing with which these titles are launched would be impossible to do without recycle dynamics, engines and assets.
All these considerations then are the theater at the launch of the latest addition to the house TT Games ” LEGO Marvel Super Heroes “. Like its bigger brothers, this game is available on almost all platforms as possible and imaginable. Obviously, depending on the version, some elements will be different or even some of the content will be completely revised. The thread will always be one of the fun to 360 degrees, immersed in a ” pictures ” made of plastic blocks. In preparation, we had the opportunity to try the version of this game Playstation 3 and below, we’ll tell you how it went.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes – Story and Characters
To make a prologue to the game, there is a nice introductory video. This will give us the foundation necessary to understand the narrative history of supporting adventure. The game is set in a ” Legolosa ” Manhattan, enriched with some historical places in the Marvel universe as the X-Mansion, Asteroid M and Asgard.
The story is very similar to what you often find yourself reading a comic book and is based on the backbone of all the masterpieces target Marvel (and not only): ” superheroes vs. supervillains. ” The bad guys have plans to build a super powerful weapons that can make to disappear the planet earth in one fell swoop. Fundamental elements in the assembly of this ” wonder ” of war are the ” building blocks cosmic. ”
The player’s goal is to fight Loki and a horde of bad guy’s too target Marvel. As I said all of this takes place on the island of Manhattan, where the user will have to overcome several pitfalls exploring the city. All this while playing the strongest and most famous heroes like Iron Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America and many others. In total, the game contains more than 100 characters taken directly from the farm Marvel.
Each character obviously has super powers and means they can carry out the activities necessary to complete the levels. During the game, we will solve various puzzles. Most of them will be using to disentangle all the characters, for others it will be necessary to use a character that has a special ” super power “. We can also play in co-op with a friend and letting us help you solve various puzzles.
The game environment is very welcoming and all we have to overcome 45 different missions, almost always very funny and full of fighting. Once you understand the dynamics of the game gets a title more and more simple and conversational. To make the glue at various levels is always present in the story seasoned with humor and irony, as in all games in the series. The beauty of these securities, in fact, is that they can make fun of themselves in a carefree manner without much attention being paid to the form.
Even Stan Lee is in the game as a super hero and he himself admits in a recent interview that he was very pleased with his version of ” Lego ” . And surely even his biggest fans will be happy to use her character in this game. The wide variety of characters makes the game very diverse, and each player can really be said to have played his way. In addition, you can also create custom superhero making the story even more original.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes – Technical analysis
A game with the world made of Lego can only have very original graphics. The character models have been designed with great detail and although the typical ” little man Lego ” did not offer great opportunities in terms of inventiveness, every super-hero is faithfully reproduced the original and is easily recognizable.
The effects related to the super powers then were designed so as to be all different from each other. The goal seems to be to make the gaming experience different and varied for each pet used. We did not like a few drops of installments during the game and the fact that the polygons of various animated elements do not cross almost never. The environment is quite dynamic and is largely modifiable and interactive.
Characters like Hulk, for example, can take a piece of ground and throw it at an enemy, unless it is a sandy area. In this case, the poor brute green will have to brush a lot of sand in her hair.
The realism in the reproduction of Manhattan is more than adequate if we consider that the developers had to stay in a structure made of bricks. The controls are simple and intuitive, and the response of the character is always on time. The third-person view typical of the Lego games it seemed like once again the best choice. Appreciable the system of ” sharing ” of the screen if we’re playing in the company of a friend on the same console.
In these cases, if we find ourselves in the same area of the map, the game is in full screen. If you decide to follow different paths automatically the screen is split diagonally, and each will play in a clove. The division is proportional to the distance that the two characters.
The sound of the game is well done as well as voiceover and videos are all created with excellent resolution and are always a lot of fun. Finally, it remains to analyze the artificial intelligence of our opponents. Of course, the fights are not among the most difficult to deal with. But if we consider that the game is dedicated to a very young audience you could not ask to be too complicated or bloody clashes.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes – Conclusions
It’s time to take stock and try to understand what this game deserves to be in your video game room. Overall, Lego Marvel Super Heroes does not betray the expectations, and this is a fact. Both positive and negative. The game is in fact, very similar to earlier in the dynamics of the game and the genre.
In contrast the fact that the characters are all brand new and that there are really many new Lego makes a fun game to find out. Although the story is nicely designed and the irony with which they are narrated facts, and figures is certainly very pleasant to taste.
The difficulty of the game is obviously the media and as I said, once you learn the techniques of the game you go fast enough. If we wanted to try all the characters in the full game, there would send a greater challenge. This offers a longevity and variety that make up for the lack of technical innovation.
The roaming mode was slightly enhanced, but still it feels channeled on tracks precise. From the point of view of fidelity graphics and sound, Marvel Super Heroes has been a delight. The superheroes and supervillains were drawn by heart, and even the world is played with polygons of good quality and detailed texture.
The work on the physics is well managed: the world around them, in fact, react consistently to the super powers and the clashes that are taking place and the ” neutral ” material of which it is composed. What is more stimulated in this game is the wit and reasoning, and it is great news considering that Lego Marvel Super Heroes is rated PEGI 7.
The end result of this recipe made in TT Games is once again so good. Nothing new, but then the level was high, so why change? Fans of the genre would be disappointed. If you love Lego and love Marvel super heroes, ultimately, do not miss this game.
