The violence is through the roof, enough so that the special interrogations and kills were originally shown in black and white and at forgiving angles (although there are unofficial ways to remove that) and honestly it would be too much if the graphics were any more realistic. It's what really sets the game apart from the long list of third person shooters that are out there; not many games let you use drill presses, table saws, electric wires, fork lifts (etc, etc) to torture criminals before you kill them. But if you take it more as a B-Movie game trying to entertain you with the most ridiculous kills possible, it can be pretty fun. (My favorite was holding a member of the mob over the edge of a pier until a shark jumped out the water and bit him in half.) It was also pretty cool to see the Marvel license used, you get to fight with Black Widow, Nick Fury and even Iron Man makes an appearance. Overall, a pretty fun and well done game but definitely not for the squeamish.
