Fantastic Four Video Games

In association with Amazon.com


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not So Fantastic
This is an OK game. Some of the levels are a little challenging because if you die you have to start over in that level. Kids will have a hard time with the game and even some adults. However, if you like the Fantastic Four you can get it, but might as well get Number 2 instead.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Futile Four
This is a game that kids would probably enjoy. For adults, it's about as sad as the film.

Pros:
- Game is actually more interesting than the film.
- Game is best when you have to cooperate to solve a problem- unfortunately there isn't enough of this kind of puzzle solving. E.g. Reed can't walk thru an energy barrier unless Sue creates a force field around him. The interface controls for lending powers to one another is there, but is never used to their greatest potential.
- Discovering new capabilities as you level up, especially when you combine them with other team mates.
- Different character's have different strengths that work best in different environments. E.g. when you are in a laser fight Sue is great to use because her infinite shield can deflect lasers back at opponents. When you are Johnny, you can wildly throw fireballs with low cost to your cosmic powers.

Cons:
- Extremely repetitive.
- Audio is very poorly done- in some cases there is no audio at all.
- Graphics are pretty hideous by today's standards.
- Buggy. Game crashes sometimes.
- The combination lock puzzles are an extreme waste of time.
- Very aggrevating at the end: In the final boss fight you must successfully complete an ultimate (timed combo) to win. I gave up after too many tries.
- When your AI comrad's are fighting they do not impart as much damage as when you take over the character. This is done no doubt so that you don't get out done by your AI partners- but it really makes them useless as partners.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good graphics and fighting styles, that's about it....
I really hate to say this, but the truth is the game is pretty boring. The game's fighting mechanics for each individual character have very reponsive controls in an easy format. The graphics are very good, story line is entertaining but not great, and you get to fight against several of the FF's better known enemies. Unfortunately the first group of levels are extremely brief. The latter levels have a strong sense of "been there, done that", with many common enemies having the basic style of attack with just different character skins. There is a small element of puzzle solving, but the meat of the game is button-mashing combat. Characters can progess their skills through acquiring score and purchasing moves. There is co-op two player only support (why no 4-player?), and some pretty good interviews and other stuff to unlock. Very good concept, but overall repeditive and stale gameplay. Rent or buy used, you'll most likely regret buying new.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - this software is really buggy
during certain parts of the game, each super hero has to "hover" over hotspots, and click "B" in order to execute a power, but "B" is also an action button....so, you could be fighting, and then have to "hover" and wait for the software to figure out that you are there, and not waiting to fight. And once you are there, you have to do some dumb sequence of keystokes, in order to get the super hero to execute the move.

Mr. Fantastic has to figure out some dumb puzzle!
Sue has to spin the directional control really fast.
johnny and ben have to hit the "A" button really fast!

i, too, paid full price.
