Summary: A casual gamer's paradise, a harcore gamer's nightmare

50
I'm giving this game a 50 because I see it as actually a "50/50" issue. The casual gamers (such as myself) will love it and hardcore gamers will probably more than likely hate it.

Imperfects is your standard fighting game with some select Marvel characters and some other guys to fight against. You can choose to be Spidey, Wolverine, Venom, etc, etc. The Imperfects are actually some cool villians with some pretty sweet moves.

Playability
Here is where the 50/50 comes in. Personally I love it because it's easy for me to handle as there are only a few button/combos to master which is standard for each character. This is why hardcore gamers will hate it. There is no "X,Triangle, X, Square, X, up, up, down, analog stick left, start button and then Left button" to execute a punch which is nice. The play does get slightly redundant, but if you need to give your mind a vacation for a few minutes, this is a good escape. This game is more about timing then executing killer moves. I have found out you just can't rush in and bang up a bad guy expecting him to go down for the count.

Graphics
I was highly surprised. It doesn't suck as much as I'd thought. In fact, I was really impressed as I was figuring the graphics were going to be horrible. I only noticed one area where the game slows down for just a fraction of a second, nothing to write home to.

Sound
Good I guess if you like "whomp, swoosh, bomp, scromp, pow and zomp." You know, all the sounds you make when you duking it out on the schoolyard playground. Other than that, no way to import your music library in to listen to your own beats than the repititous ones provided for you in game.

Overall Value
Once again, this is a hate it/love it game. For those of you who play nine zillion hours worth of gaming a day, DON'T buy this game. For casual gamers who think "Yeah, I liked that spidey feller, I had a few comic books of him when I was a kid", then it's definitely a buy and a lot of fun.
