Manufacturer's Description
Captain America: Super Soldier is a third person action adventure game which combines dynamic acrobatic platforming with a fast and fluid melee combat system. Written by renowned Marvel comic writer Christos Gage, the game follows an engaging storyline set within the period of WWII. Players will take the role of ‘Super Soldier’ Captain America and test their skills as they battle infamous enemies such as Iron Cross, the Hydra Army and the legendary Red Skull.
At their disposal is Captain America’s iconic shield, which will be utilised as both a defensive and offensive weapon and be used to execute dozens of innovative and exhilarating moves. The legendary comic book character truly comes to life scaling wallsand taking out multiple enemies in this exciting combat game.
The original story for Captain America: Super Soldier is being penned by noted comic, film, and TV writer Christos Gage, the primary writer for the Marvel’s Avengers: The Initiative series of comics. Gage has written numerous books for major Marvel characters, including Siege: Captain America, The Invincible Iron Man, X-Men, Spider-Man, Civil War: House of M, and Union Jack.
Gage wrote his original story for Captain America: Super Soldier so that the setting coincides with the upcoming movie of the same name, but he infused the game with immersive twists designed to enhance gameplay alongside all-new cinematic action sequences.
The preeminent super hero introduced during the WWII era, Captain America was created by the legendary team of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1941. Over 200 million Captain America issues have been sold in 75 countries and the shield-wielding hero is a key member of the Avengers alongside comic book icons The Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor.

Most movie tie-in's suck - its a fact - however Captain America bucks the trend.
The game looks good, sounds good and plays great. Youve got an original storyline featuring many of Caps greatest villains including Iron Cross, Baron Strucker, Madame Hydra and, of course, the Red Skull.
The game itself has a 360 degree combat system very similar to that seen in Batman Arkham Asylum with Cap able to punch, kick, somersualt and attack enemies with his shield. Add to this the ability to use the shield as a ranged weapon, taking out several enemies at once as well as the ability to use the shield to deflect projectiles back at your enemies and you are able to replicate Caps comicbook fighting style in a very authentic manner.
If there was one complaint I would make its that the game is a very liniar affair but in fairness its such a generally pleasing experience that you can forgive it that one little sin.

Way more fun than I expected and perhaps better than the film! I've no hesitation in recommending this game and hope they make a sequal for us some time soon.

Not quite up there with the Batman "Arkham" games Captain America: Super Soldier is good, solid fun. Like the recent Wolverine movie tie-in, this game expands on the universe and the story from the film, weaving in enough comic book inspired elements to keep fans like me happy. You also get to collect journal entries that tell the back story to the one you are playing through which is a nice, if not original (that and the challenge modes are rather obviously copied from the Batman games) touch. I had heard good things before I bought and I was not disappointed.
If you like Cap, Marvel movies and / or 3rd Person action-adventure games then it is a safe bet that you will find something here to enjoy. My 2 small criticisms are that it is a little on the short side and it stays within only 1 overall location. I suppose this suits the story; one chapter in Cap's WWII adventures, but I would have preferred a bit more diversity to stretch out the experience. That said, with collectables and 3 kinds of challenges in addition to the campaign this is a game I can happily come back to again and again.
