Marvel Super Hero Squad (Wii)

All-Ages Fun That's Not Much Fun

Game Marvel Super Hero Squad

Platform Wii

Genre(s) Action

There was a time when Marvel, purveyors of comic books and all things superheroic, would slap their license on just about any low-quality product that fly-by-night Chinese manufacturers put in front of them.  What resulted was ugly, unarticulated action figures, sub-par animated series, countless low quality candies, soaps, party favors, and a slew of bad video games.  Once Marvel’s movies started proving that their characters could make real money, those licenses were replaced with better companies, resulting in beautiful, highly-articulated action figures, entertaining animated series, countless medium-quality candies, soaps, and party favors, and, sadly, a slew of mediocre video games.  One of the newest licenses for Marvel is the kid-friendly Super Hero Squad; a series of cutesy, super-deformed action figures with an attached animated series.  As a matter of course, THQ has created a game based on the property, and while it does a great job of representing the fiction upon which it’s based, it fails, in every way, to deliver an enjoyable game experience.
