Now THIS is what I want to see from AAA games. I just don't know that I can say about this game...It's just really, reaaally good.
I like this interpretation of the guardians, the game looks fantastic, the writing is good and the characters are funny, the motion capture and animations are amazing, there are a few cool alternate costumes for each character, and the combat system is really fun and engaging.
I adore the idea of pausing the entire fight every once in a while so Peter can have a quick pep talk with his team, and depending on the approach you take, you either inspire all of them or fail miserably and only you get powered up. It's just too good.
I also really like the selection of licensed music they picked. They were clearly heavily inspired by the James Gunn movies, but they still picked songs that the movies never used, while still composing original ones I think. Actually, the entire game feels more like its own unique take on the guardians and these crazy characters; it isn't just a one to one copy of the movie versions, which I appreciate.
Only a few times I felt like the writing was a little bit too corny, or the character animations were too awkward when looking at what the characters are supposed to be expressing. But that was never too distracting.
Overall, this was a really pleasant experience, and a really fun and exciting game. Please give it a shot if you haven't, chances are you will really enjoy it, even if you are not a fan of capeshit or Marvel. It is much more than just that.
