Suprised I couldnt find a thread for this, its great.
An old school scrolling beat em up based on the comics and I suppose to a much lesser extent the film that is based on the said comics and out over here in a few week.
You don't really have to be a fan of the comics to enjoy this though (it doesnt really have much in the way of story or cutscenes in truth), it plays really well, the 16bit style graphics are really nice and it just has this constant air of fun about it, Oh yeah and then there is the soundtrack. The music in this has to be heard to be belived, it is without a doubt the coolest soundtrack to a game I have ever heard and I think anyone who has an intrest in this will probabaly think much the same as me.
The gameplay obviously isnt that deep but it is increadabley challenging and you relaly have to think when attacking enemies, its certainly no button masher. The first level alone took me about 4 attempts, much to my embaressment. The upgrade system is pretty good, though it has to be said that the game encourages you to grind alot, which means that if you dont want to replay levels you have completed then you might not want to play the game.
I'm yet to even try multiplayer, which I would imagine is better still. Overall this is just brilliant, it has come out just at the right time too, there dosent seem to have been a really good game released in ages and this has really put a smile on my face.
