Hasn't aged very well. The game looks terrible and extremely dated, with bleak environments. The mix of ultimate designs and classic designs for characters is a weird choice that characters such as Wolverine and Thor suffer for. But a lot of the alternate suits are nice callbacks for comic fans.

The basic gameplay is basic and repetitve. The actual good skills that are unique to each hero (and their powers) are pretty decently fun to use but often will cause energy to drain so fast that you're forced to go back to annoying melee mashing that feels extremely soulless.

The story is overall good, it is a little cheesy and the voice acting is pretty terrible (extremely over-acted) but it takes you to a variety of comic locations and lets you meet plenty of characters that you're kept invested on where you'll go next.

Overall I'd say it's worth playing if you're a fan of comic books (maybe not just the movies/shows though as quite a bit of this is oldschool obscure) but the gameplay really does drag the score down.
