Fantastic Four
Final
Fight-style beat-em-ups have not been doing so well these days, with
failures like The Bouncer
and Fighting Force still lingering in people's minds. But what better
way to give the genre a punch in the face than by infusing it with The
Fantastic Four, the comic book heroes currently due to star in their own
movie this summer. Playing
as any member of the foursome: the stretchy guy Mr. Fantastic, the
sneaky Invisible girl, the firey Human Torch, or the monstrous Thing –
up to two players can live out their comic book fantasies by smashing
and breaking through the evil drones of metallic overlord Doctor Doom.
Each character has their own attacks - Mr. Fantastic can whack bad guys
from across the room with his extending limbs, while the Human Torch can
set baddies on fire, obviously - but the real draw is being able to
switch heroes on the fly and create some devastating combos. Each
character will have a huge moveset, with the ability to upgrade them
through points earned in combat. The
less said about the previous Fantastic Four games, the better. But
Activision's X-Men Legends turned out to be competent, and while the
Fantastic Four is more about bashing than stat building, the variety of
super hero powers should instill some variety in a genre known for its
brash repetitiveness. Regardless, 7 Studios, developer of Legion: The
Legend of Excalibur and the new Defender have their work cut out for
them. |
