Brief synopsis of Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects

Superheroes have always been good game fodder, but at the moment there's a positive flood of ubermenschen titles coming out. Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects is one of these, and is truly a crossover of crossovers. As if flexing their muscles after acquiring rights to a huge amount of Marvel IP, Electronic Arts have recruited heroes and villains from all over the shop to battle against an all-new team of baddies called the Imperfects. Cherrypicking favourites from different teams and families, EA have selected loners like Spider-man and Daredevil, heroes from teams like the Thing and Johnny Blaze of the Fantastic Four, and villains such as Magneto and Electra. The Imperfects are an imaginatively concocted crowd, with a robotic Russian ballet dancer, an electrically charged prisoner from Death Row and a biologically mutated Gulf War soldier numbering among them. The result is a chunky 3D fighter featuring your favourite super heroes from all over the shop. Dramatic violence is the name of the game, and to progress you'll need to take advantage of your chosen hero's unique powers. You can use the scenery to your advantage, too, hurling your opponent into or through walls or smashing them with huge blunt objects that shatter in your hands. Naturally such a game makes for a good multiplayer rumpus and the game allows you to take part in big head to head battles. The arenas are based on places you'll recognise from the comic books like the Daily Bugle and the Avengers mansion, and locations from real-life NYC like the Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Station and the streets of New York. If you want honest-to-goodness, no frills fighting with your favourite Marvel characters then give this a whirl.

Rated - 3 starsStrangely addictive!

A customer from Leicester, England , 07/04/2006

At first i thought this game was another crappy beat 'em up that i've come to expect from marvel games. However it did very strangely grow on me after a day or two, despite the fact that it is kind of easy to complete - maybe because it is aimed at a younger audience. This easiness doesn't matter all that much because each time you complete it you unlock another character (from wolverine to Dr Doom to even some characters i've never even heard of), which kind of makes it addictive. Another thing is that you are not limited to the usual small Street Fighter-esque fighting area as you can freely move around the locations!A Good, but not completely great game (and definately not a crappy one!)
