It can be slightly jarring hearing the characters talk with different voices if you’re used to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but you’ll quickly adjust.Īnd what those characters are saying rarely fails to please. Sound design is almost uniformly excellent, from voice performances to sound effects to scoring. Starting with the highs, this is one of the most stunning Lego games ever - heck, even outwith the Lego franchise, the quality of Traveller’s Tales animations, texture work, scenery, and environments shames other developers. And it does so not because it’s worse than Avengers, but because, while that game settled for mediocrity, Super Heroes 2 constantly jumps between epic highs and crashing lows.įor Johnny Sibilly, ‘Queer As Folk’ Was A Life-Changing Moment Unfortunately, Super Heroes 2 tests that patience even further. Even last year’s Avengers title, which was one of the most tedious and sloppy in recent memory, wasn’t enough to break me. How you’ll feel after the first dozen hours, though, will likely depend on your tolerance for core Lego gameplay. Covering every last inch of Chronopolis and unearthing its myriad secrets will take you dozens of hours. In addition to the 18 locations present in Chronopolis and the 20 story missions that take place there, there’s side missions to do, hundreds of collectibles to gather, petty crimes to stop, statues to blow up, propaganda to alter, even cats to find - and more beyond that. (A notable omission from the sequel are the X-Men, present in the first game but missing here.)ĭollar for dollar, Super Heroes 2 offers a staggering array of content. And that’s before you get to all of the supervillains - each promised a slice of the pie by Kang - you’ll battle along the way. There’s the Avengers, the Inhumans, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and others including Spider-Gwen (from a reality where Gwen Stacey was bitten by the spider), Iron Duck (Howard the Duck in Iron Man’s armor), and a cowboy Captain America. It’s up to Marvel’s wealth of characters - hundreds of them - to fight back against Kang. There’s even three variants of New York City: present day, Noir, and Nueva York 2099 - each with their own version of Spider-Man. There’s snippets of everything from Asgard to Hydra’s headquarters, ancient Egypt to Attilan, the Old West to Wakanda. Kang the Conqueror has rampaged through various realities, stealing sections of each world he visits and turning them into one giant city, Chronopolis, over which he rules. Unlike the last game, which used Manhattan as its hub and took players on a journey through various worlds in the Marvel franchise, Super Heroes 2 brings all of those worlds together.
