We all know the premise of the game...  Dr. Doom has formed the new and improved team of super villains called the "Masters of Evil."  Like all team of uber bad guys, this group is no different in they are out for world domination or some other evil holy grail.  I personally kept waiting to hear "one million dollars."  They launch an attack on Col. Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, and four superheroes answer the call to arms.....

Wolverine, Thor, Captain American, and Spider-Man show up to save the day.  Joy!  Rapture!  Divinity!  Ok, so I was letting my inner child out.  I could not help but remember all the sick days in elementary school I got to stay home and read my favorite comic books while eating chicken noodle soup.

I knew I would enjoy this game.  However, I did not realize how the more I played the more enjoyable it would become.  It is like video crack, reminiscent of the first time you picked up Halo or civilizations.  No the graphics are not the best during dialog with other characters during game play.  I am a little disappointed at the hokey effort, it's very 1990's NES at best.  The action and game play are great.  The 3rd person and 360 degrees rotation around the board are excellent.  For those who are looking at Gears as the defector standard, you will be disappointed.  Gears is in a different class altogether, but you know this already.

So get your favorite Marvel super heroes out, and build your own team - mine are the "Freedom Fighters."  No more sitting on the sidelines stating how if your ran a team of super heroes you'd fight them better.  Ok hot shot.  Put your money where your mouth is and suit up.

At least there's no spandex chafing here.....
