This game has great graphics, I mean excellent. They got the heroes and villains of the Marvel universe perfect. PERFECT! Everything else about this game is as the title suggests, imperfect.

When you load up the game, it brings you to a menu. Looks pretty standard, you think to yourself, sweet! A story mode! When you select story mode, there is'nt really much of a story. You battle, you win, you read some text. So there's not too much of a story.

The controls at first seem to be a little difficult but after you get used to it, it's quite simple. Something dissapointing about this game is that all the characters work the same. So you can kick butt with any character, even one you've never played as before.

When you start the game, you can only play as 2 characters. The Thing, a hero no one really likes, and Johnny Ohm, a villain that no one has really heard of. This is mostly because he's exclusive to this game, like the other Imperfects. Gee thanks a lot EA.

To get more Characters you have to beat the game and it unlocks a new playable character. Pretty standard for a fighting game, only the problem is since all the characters play the same, it gets boring fast. By the time you unlock about 5 characters, you really want to play something else. It just feels like you are doing the same thing over and over and over.

Also implemented is a unique card system, that is completely useless. I found that the cards were really uneccessary after mastering the controls. Some players may prefer to use these cards to refill health and power up, but it's not needed to beat the game or anything.

If you're planning on buying this game for a child or relative that is a fan of one of the characters, like Captain America who is only in the PSP version, don't do it. They'll probably get bored of the game before they even unlock him.

I give this game a 4 out of 10. I hate to say this because I'm a huge fan of Marvel Comics. What a waste of good graphics and characters, tsk tsk tsk.
