When it comes to capturing the essence of the license, Marvel Super Hero Squad does a nice job. If+he's+going+to+rip+you+apart,+at+least+Hulk+is+kinda+cute+in+this+game. Once more content starts to get piled up, however, the game drops in quality. The game, ironically enough, is at its best when it is just a simple button masher. And while there's still some definite potential in the game – more than enough for younger players to want to jump on in and keep playing – there are also some seriously troublesome issues within the main mechanic. In the end though, if Super Hero Squad was a polished, mindless brawler, it'd be "mission accomplished" all around, but it's not. There's an extras area where you can get a few simple unlockables, plenty of voiceover and pre-stage videos for kids to zone out and watch for a while, and a constant tug-of-war between the developer's own attempt at pushing the game to its fullest and the game's inherent ability to shove the hardcore crowd away. Because it's a licensed kids game, you've also got all the main staples players have come to expect. You've got a basic attack, heavy attack, jump, grab, and finisher assigned to a quick button press.
MARVEL SUPER HERO SQUAD ONLINE SHUT DOWN PSP
Players jump in with a computer-controlled buddy at all times sadly, the ability to play co-op on PSP didn't make the port, so you're on your own for this one. Seriously, it doesn't get much more "everyday brawler" than this. Super Hero Squad is in all ways your average two player beat-'em-up. In the end, THQ's offering to the Saturday morning crowd isn't a total wash of an experience, but it is one that misses the boat on a few key areas specifically, the need for an intuitive, easy-to-play offering for its audience. Published by THQ and developed by Blue Tongue – the makers of de Blob – Super Hero Squad has a strong team behind it, but all the trappings of a quick-fire, licensed effort.
Marvel is all over the place as of late, debuting Ultimate Alliance 2 via Activision just a month back, X-Men Origins: Wolverine before that, and now a kid-friendly take on the beat-'em-up genre with Marvel Super Hero Squad.
