Trivia:

Activision has officially announced that there will be 8 additional characters that can be downloaded onto the Xbox 360 via the Xbox Live Marketplace. The heroes and villains are Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Magneto, Sabretooth, Venom, Doctor Doom, Hawkeye and Hulk. The update was originally due on April 10, 2007 and while no current date is known, it has not been said whether any other platforms will have access to these characters.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When in Stark Tower, if you have Deadpool in your team, the receptionist will say still something about Deadpool being seen in the weapon's lab last, but that would be impossible as Deadpool was in your team all the time, so he couldn't have gone to the weapon's lab in the first place.

Quotes:

Spider-Man: [leveling up] This is better than a spider bite!

Movie Connections:

Featured in "Troldspejlet: (#37.16)" (2007)

Good game featuring many marvel characters.

Basically a semi sequel to the x-men legend games, this game has a massive team of heroes working together to stop Dr. Doom's evil plans. The heroes have their varying strengths and weaknesses as was the case in the legends games. Though I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed in the fact that strength was ignored in that you could not really lift anything big. Still, you had your far away type attackers, your attackers best suited for close combat and those who were rather good at both. You can mix up your teams and if you happen to put a particular team together you can get a boost to a stat (putting all the members of the fantastic four together for example). Of course, you have your favorites that you use best, for me it was Spider-man and Deadpool, and you have your characters you wish were here but are not...Cyclops and the Hulk. There are plenty of villains to fight as well as you have Dr. Doom, Arcade, Ultron, and many others. The game is not perfect, as some of the levels are very repetitive and playing this just makes me want to play a more conventional role playing game with the super heroes...still it is fun and fast paced. And from the ending I would wager there will be a sequel.
