LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2
Xbox One | PS4 | Nintendo Switch
DEVELOPER: TT Games
PUBLISHER: WB Games
RELEASE DATE: November 14, 2017

I’m not even half-way through, but I can tell you that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 (developed by UK-based WB subsidiary TT Games) is already loaded with obscure and classic old-school Marvel characters, and that alone, makes it a purchase worth your time and money.

Yes, the gameplay is repetitive and virtually unchanged from any other LEGO TT games; the mechanics go back more than a decade, so it might be time to consider an engine overall for future releases. And yes, there are some frustrating glitches, but the real joy of playing Marvel Super Heroes 2 is found in the breadth of characters and environments. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 does an admirable job of meshing the widely-known Marvel movie universe (including the just released Thor: Ragnarok) with the lesser-known comic book Marvel universe “” specifically, the old-school Marvel U. Fanboys of a certain age (that is, old farts like me) are in for some real surprises.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, the next installment in the LEGO video games franchise, is coming to all major gaming consoles this Fall, and a new trailer for the title was shown last week at Gamescom, the huge video games trade fair held in Germany.

You can watch that trailer here below, which shows the game’s main villain, Galactus.

The game will feature over 100 super heroes and super villains from the Marvel Universe, including Iron Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Loki, and Deadpool, and users can travel to popular Marvel U locations like, X Mansion, Asteroid M, and Asgard.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes will be released for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Nintendo Wii on October 22, 2013, and then for upcoming consoles Playstation 4 and Xbox One on November 30, 2013.

If you pre-order this title for existing gaming consoles, you will receive a $10 Amazon.com credit. Info is here below, and also see the “Bonus Offers” box on the Amazon product pages.
