Is there any difference between the first and second game?

Which one is better?

The 2nd is bigger, but the 1st plays better and has less challenges that make you want to visit violence upon those involved in making that challenge.

Character Roster

They are equally good. Lego Marvel Superheroes 1 has more well known characters from the comics, such as the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool, while Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 has more well known characters from the movies, shows, and newer comics, such as the guardians of the galaxy, Doctor Strange, and the inhumans. This doesn't mean that Superheroes 1 doesn't have characters well known from the movies, or that Superheroes 2 doesn't have well known comic characters, but most of the chaarcter roster in Superheroes 1 has more comic variants/suits and characters. Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 has more characters in total.

Open world

The open world area of LMS (Lego Marvel Superheroes) 1 is based on New York City, and feels more fleshed out and is fun to roam around. LMS 2 takes place in Chronopolis, which is a world created by the main villain that is basically a combined version of multiple places in the marvel universe. The open world of LMS 2 has more diversity, but isn't a whole lot bigger than the open world of LMS 1. It is almost the same size.

Story/Missions

The story of LMS 1 is just better in my opinion. In LMS 2, it really is just going around to the different places and fighting baddies, while in LMS 1 the story actually feels well built (pun not intended) and it's kinda like a movie. LMS 1 also has more puzzles and other stuff than LMS 2, which is mostly fighting baddies (not that that's a bad thing).

Character Creator

LMS 2 just has a better character creator. 'Nuff said. The character creator of LMS 1 doesn't allow you to fully customize powers, and the powers are mainly based on the pieces your character has. In LMS 1, you can change the colours of your custom character's face, as well as customize big figs and have over 20 total custom character slots, which LMS 2 doesn't have, but LMS 2's custom character creator allows you to customize your character's powers, abilities, colors of their powers (if it's an explosion or beam), their speed, voice, and more. Plus since LMS 2 has more characters, that means more character pieces to use. Also the creator menu for LMS 2 is better overall.

In my opinion, if you want a nice, simple comic-based lego marvel game with characters you would probably know, then choose Lego marvel superheroes 1

If you want an action-packed, movie-based lego marvel game that introduces you to new characters and allows you to create your own, then choose Lego Marvel Superheroes 2.
