"Marvel’s Super Hero Squad" is a decent outing for the Nintendo Wii. It’s a little bothersome with the general problems that seem to always plague this type of game. Licensed games always feel like they were rushed to the shelves, so much so to the point to where you notice that most of them needed an extra month or two in development. This is one of those games.

While it has a great amount of charm. Especially in visuals and story. The main examples with this are with graphics. The character models look very accurate to how they are depicted in the TV series, they sound like them too, but some of the backgrounds don’t accurately capture what they do on the show and/or they just don’t look very good. The story mode does a good job of capturing what they do on the TV show too, but a little bit more could have been done to deepen the gameplay experience in the mode.

"Super Hero Squad" is not something that the kids can pick up and play right away. It will probably take a little time for them to get used to the controls and how to play, but once adapted to it can be both challenging and fun for them to play through. It’s weird having a Marvel game released from THQ but they did a decent job with this one. It’s not an incredible game but for kids who love the show on Cartoon Network. They will love this.
