I really love the Lego games, as they're just the right level of challenge and low-stakes, simple-to-play fun. Since playing the Star Wars games a number of years ago, I keep returning to the Lego titles, as I know exactly what I'm going to get. Marvel Superheroes has easily been my favorite, so I was looking forward to this. Unfortunately, it feels like they've felt the need to complicate things and up the difficulty factor considerably this time around, and that's frustrating. After flying after Green Goblin for over twenty minutes (in what equates to level three in a very confusing level-structure), I almost ditched the game completely. It feels as though in an attempt to not repeat themselves, they've forgotten what makes their games so charming.

I'm longing for the day in which there are many, many more video games available that are similar to this. This wasn't a game so much as an experience. I was moved deeply.
