Is this better than Marvel Super Heroes?

[Everybody do the flop]

Just wondering, as several important plot points are missing from this game, including most of the Wave 1 Movies.

Another reason why I ask, is because I really like the X-Men and Ant-Man isn't really featured in this game, so overall is this better or the first LEGO Marvel game based in 616?

BTW, are the villians from the missing Movie added, like the Mandarin?

better gameplay but the lack of character hits really hard, considering 1/3 of the characters are common people (captain america girlfriend, pepper, both doctor from hidra, and alot more) but the gameplay mechanics and graphics are really well done, its really fun to jump around with hulk and perform combos with your friend, in my opnion lego marvel will always be the best since it was the first coop opem roam game i was able to play with my friend with alot of quests going on, but this game isnt bad, its really good!! im really enjoying it

i think,yes,characters list is much bigger,a lot of missions,lots of locations,in first game,you coud play only in Manhattan,now Asgard,Bartons Farm,Manhattan(copy from first game,just on sunset and with replacing Stark tower on Avengers tower,and X-Mansion on Avengers base.)Washington D.C.(a small part of it),Zakovye(rus-Заковье,city near Hydra's old base),Africa,and more.

Is the lack of a real map a problem? Since it doesn't have one, does that mean each overworld is smaller, like in the Star Wars LEGO games?

The hubs seem pretty small, but this is all in addition to manhattan which was all we had in the first game. Compared to Lego Batman 3, it's a step up. At least the hubs are unique locations, and not just differently colored planets. My only problem with the Lego games is the lame quests they use to occupy most of your time collecting gold bricks. I haven't done many of them so far, but there seems to be no change there.

So overall is this game better than Marvel Super Heroes?

the one thing that pisses me off is they dident get the voice actors just recycled the sound clips from both movies. it feels really forced sometimes.

It worked great for Lord of the Rings. Not so much for this title though, sadly. Much of the audio is poor quality and undermined by the natural sounds/music of the game.

Is it as bad as LEGO Jurassic World?

My opinion is: this is not better than Super Heroes. Some reasons for me to think this are:
- Manhattan is very poor. Super Heroes' Manhattan was awesome, beautiful to watch and full of things. This game's Manhattan looks very empty and bare. They even removed many places and things from the previous game, like the statues, the Circus...
- The roster. Yes, it's bigger... but also waaay less interesting.
- Co-op is plain terrible.
- No original story
- Very bad audio
- No ACTUAL open-world, just various hubs
- Various graphical issues I never had while playing Super Heroes.
I only got to 10% in this but it seems to me this game is not only worse than Super Heroes, but also worse than batman 3 and maybe Jurassic World.

Oh, and no actual map in Manhattan. Just a scanner like in all the other hubs.

So is the Hub like LEGO Star Wars?

I just miss the X-Men and F4. Remember the last level of Marvel Super Heroes when they have this shot on the helicarrier of every Marvel hero ever walking towards Galactus? It was epic. There's nothing like that in this game simply due to the diminished hero roster.

That said, the game is really fun, and their take on the movies is excellent. Tom Hiddleston's gravitas as Loki works surprisingly well in Lego form!

My problem is that even the first game had very few X-Men and the Mansion was filled with random non-mutant kids. Seriosuly, you'd think that there would be enough mutants in NY for Xavier to not have to resort to turning his Academy into a regular school.

Also, I can prove that those kid aren't mutants, as in the level where there's a fire in the school, not a single kid tried to use powers to stop the fire or save other students.

BTW, the first game had loads of random NPCs too, which annoys me, as I'd rather play as Nightcrawler than random LEGO Builder guy.

It literally is a 1:1 copy of Manhatten with a few buildings replaced (all signs of FF, Spidey, X-Men and co are gone now)... ?

Agreed with this one. They really scratched the bottom of the barrel with the non-hero characters. And it breaks the immersion when they got voice actors to do their voices (I am used to Gwyneth Paltrow Pepper so yeah).

It's the same old co-op system they always have?

It has the same open world that LEGO MSH had + a lot of smaller hubs with stuff going on? This is literally the best hub system in any LEGO game to date and Manhatten has random crimes happening 24/7 (although they are pretty dull, it's better than having nothing to do).


My opinion:
It is a step up from LEGO MSH in terms of: gameplay (the controls feel better, like you can fly with the right stick etc. if you use a controller, you can FINALLY browse variations of the same character via buttons and not have it switch automatically, Stark can call in suits etc), it offers native 4k (I can't remember LEGO MSH having that???), I love the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the missions are designed incredibly good (I laughed a lot at the funny scenes and the final AoU fight is the highlight of the game).

The only negative thing about the game is the movie voice audio being choppy and repetitive and the fact that the roster is pathetic in comparison to LEGO MSH (no Spidey, booooh!).

I highly recommend it if you can look past the roster issue.

Won't the rostor be expanded with more unique characters in the DLC?
