My favourite video games are the Lego series of video games, as I'm the type of gamer who loves smashing stuff, collecting stuff, and playing through an action/adventure. I also love cute characters. Over the past few weeks I played Lego Marvel Superheroes, which was a lot of fun and reminded me that I really enjoy superheroes. I never read comics as a kid, but I have seen a lot of superhero movies and this game introduced me to a lot of characters I had never heard of before. So if they ever do make the Deadpool movie, I have a better idea of who he is now. Playing through these Marvel characters also encouraged me to get caught up with the X-Men movies, which were pretty good.
My only complaint with Lego Marvel Superheroes, was the controls for flying characters (and some of the driving controls, also). In non-timed events I could fly well enough to do what needed to be done, but there were a number of flying races that I just could not complete. The last day I played this game, I spent over an hour racing Silver Surfer, re-trying over and over, and I showed absolutely no signs of improvement. As I didn't want to spend countless hours attempting (and failing) the remaining flying races (there were seven races left to complete) I decided to call it a day on the game. I had a lot of fun with the 99.2% of the game I did complete, and didn't want to ruin my experience with hours of feeling frustrated just to get the other 0.08%.
So I didn't quite get 100%, but I did pretty damn good and had a fun filled time along the way.
Character tokens:
114/115. Missing: Silver Surfer (unlocked after beating him in a flying race and completing two additional missions at his command)
Gold Bricks:
241/250. Missing: Nine bricks.
- Two of the bricks are earned with Silver Surfer (beating him in a flying race and completing a mission for him)
- Six of the bricks are earned by completing timed flying races throughout New York:
- Race on top of X Mansion
- Race on top of a gas station
- Race at the Dockyards
- Race in the sky above the water by the Dockyards
- Race between and around two buildings
- Race just off the helicarrier
- One brick earned from a long and tedious remote control car timed race (I spent way too long trying to get this one. I had real difficulty with the driving controls in some places.)
This was my first time playing a Lego game on the Xbox 360, so I also unlocked most of the Xbox achievements too (
44/45). The missing achievement was get 100% in the game.
