Then, jumping back to Earth, the setting in a happily united Avengers mansion made me realise this wasn't going to let the ongoing events in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) trouble it beyond providing character inspiration. Instead, I got a whole new Guardians mini-story, with laughs throughout. Things begin with the Guardians Of The Galaxy, I was expecting the familiar re-treading of a movie moment with Lego silliness. Unashamedly so! They even have Kang's omnipotent voice echoing throughout the cities, a deep sonorous tone uncannily like that of Zinyak's, SRIV's alien protagonist who recreates an entire city and its population elsewhere. It's also exactly the same plot as Saints Row IV. It's an absolutely brilliant way to portray the far broader world(s) of Marvel. None is as big as the previous game's city alone - they haven't gone that mad - but due to the evil machinations of one Kang, key Marvel cities from across time (oh, Asgard!) and space have been collected together in another dimension, along with all the heroes and villains who reside there. And I mustn't forget Egypt, Hala, Xandar, Sakaar. So, once you've played through quite a lengthy - far too lengthy, bewilderingly so, leaving you confused as to whether you're playing an open world game at all - opening few hours, you're finally given the free run of, well, everywhere.Īlongside Manhattan present day, there's a whole other Manhattan Noir, with sepia-tones and old-timey heroes, as well as a futuristic Nueva York, let alone the Hydra Empire. Where next? Bigger, more ridiculous - that's exactly what anyone would want from them. People who started it in 2013 are probably still playing it.Īnd indeed they're probably still being frustrated by the litany of bugs and stupid crappy mistakes that litter all of these Lego creations, bugs that aren't fixed from one game to the next, and that ensure every one of TT's games is spoilt by a terrible camera, contradictory controls, and poor flagging of what should be done next all over the levels. Where to go after TT's last Lego triumph, Marvel Super Heroes? They built an entire Manhattan for that one, packed it with enough minigames and sidequests to beat any Ubisoft game, and that was just the sideshow to an extensive and convoluted plot weaving in dozens and dozens of Marvel characters. And it's a buggy, opaque and disjointed mess of haphazard controls and direction. It is a phenomenally dense and ridiculous playground of Traveller's Tales at their finest.
I am in two minds about Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2.
