Expert reviews and ratings

However, if you’re a fan of the Marvel Universe or if you even have a passing interest in the recent Marvel films, this game will scratch any itch you happen to have. It’s a stunning piece of games craftsmanship and any gamer of any age is likely to be seduced.

You could accuse Marvel Super Heroes of being the same as the LEGO games ever were, but that would be to ignore the fact it's bigger, better and more beautiful than any of its predecessors.Tags:GamesBest prices todayRetailer Price Delivery Price...

The magic of Lego and the might of Marvel meet in the most powerful Lego vehicle yet. The open world framework has never been so detailed or so fully-realised, and while the missions don’t do much to move beyond the standard formula, a huge cast of heroes and villains keeps things fresh and thrilling.

Like its predecessors, Lego Marvel has surface flaws - but it's so generous with its content, so clearly head-over-heels in love with the characters and world it's inherited from the comic page and cinema screen, and so reliably, reassuringly designed from the ground up to both enchant and inspire young...

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is an excellent LEGO game featuring a vast array of Marvel heroes and villains. Lack of online co-op and some difficult puzzles for younger ones holds it back a little, but not that much. You'll definitely enjoy the writing and...

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is the best thing to happen to Marvel games since 2006's Marvel Ultimate Alliance. It's a warm and witty, multi-layered approach to the brand that ties in hundreds of Marvel's most iconic characters, settings, and stories. While you can knock out the campaign story in around eight hours, the world is rich with content, and I've found myself up late every night...

You can jump in a vehicle and race other heroes, perform small tasks to uncover gold bricks that open bonus levels, hunt down new characters to unlock and more. Finishing the story placed me at a mere 20% completion, and the abundance of stuff in Lego Marvel's New York City has provided me plenty of incentive to keep that number climbing well after the credits rolled.

Some warranted frustration knocks the game down a peg, but on occasion quantity can trump quality. Well, maybe not exactly. It’s not that being drowned in figures, vehicles, unique levels, tons of bonus objectives and an open world is enough on its own, but each element is handled with enough TLC that there the mere minutes it takes to do a simple challenge can form an addiction.

How often do you get to control legendary Marvel superheroes in an urban sandbox, flying around and destroying things as you please? Couple that with truckloads of pieces to collect and heroes to unlock, and Lego Marvel Super Heroes will serve as a terrific ally in the fight against boredom. Excelsior!
