Fantastic? Yes. Original? No. [Posted on 2005-07-06]
This has all the window treatment of a blockbuster film. The elgant custscenes. The HUGE hard drive space (this is on 4 CD roms). The voice actors from the feature film. And, of course, superheroes. This jumps right into the action and barely lets up. Fluid graphics that are only occasionally blocky. Great fire and smoke effects. Sound quality is top notch. PLENTY of levels. Basic puzzle solving peppers a mostly battle-intensive game that takes you through a generous number of scenarios. Lots of different locales keep this very fresh. No problem installing this either. About 2.5 GIG in size. On a high end system (P4 3.2 GHZ / 2 GIG RAM / 256 MB PCI-EXPRESS VIDEO ) this runs flawlessly. As it should. The requirements are quite low for such an attractive program. All that being said, there really is nothing new here. Just a well polished fighting game with some very interesting characters. Nothing wrong with that. But it would've been nice to see something new. Also, there is no vocal lipsynching in the animation. Meaning, they simply have generic mouth movements while the dialogue is rolling. Not a big deal, but it can be distracting. For such a high profile program, it would be nice to see more polish. I did enjoy the swapping between characters to perform hero-specific abilities. If you are someone who enjoys a good street fighting game with minor RPG elements then this is a game for you.

Overall not to bad [Posted on 2005-08-01]
I'am not that much of a gamer and if the game require to much thought, I tend to lose interest. I was interested in this game because as a kid I liked the Fantastic Four comicbook and thought this might bring back some childhood memories. Once I started playing I sort of got caught up in it. There are definilty better fighting games on the market, but if you play in the easy mode you definitly will be satisfied by the tasks you accomplish. For good mindless fun, this game is good.

This game is a big disappointment to me, nothing works as it should, the control and movements of the characters is below standard. You do not get to choose the character you want and the buttons to move ahead do not always work. In fact I am still STUCK! in one place because the control they tell you to use keeps giving me a "did not work, Try again" message. I may scrap this game if I cannot get it to work, There are no walkthroughs or hints to help. As far as I know there are no repairs to the game as yet.
