FF2 Game Thread

Gameplay footage looks great. One thing though, I hope the Human Torch can actually fly up and down instead of just across/at his enemies. I also hope he doesn't use up energy/power flying. Might get this game.

Try refreshing, or clearing your cache...

Yeah I was just there checking yesterday afternoon and nothing new was there.

I deleted my history and went back after I tried the second time and it was working.


Surley there's more villains. Shouldn't some that escaped in the first game be back? Puppet Master, Annihilus, etc?

I really like Blastaar they should get him too.

How is it that the game's website is better than the one for the movie.

lol That is what I was thinking.

The official movie site should be relaunching on Monday/Tuesday. I am awaiting final confirmation on that.

 

[Telekinetic]

[Charlie No-One]

Cool. It's about time they did.

 

[Telekinetic]

Dr. Doom most likely.

Is Galactus going to even be a villain in the game?

 

[Charlie No-One]

I have no idea, but Marvel put up pictures of all the villains. Doom is the only one not pictured on the site.

 

[Telekinetic]

Maybe they turn him into the main boss in the whole game

They did say 50% was based on the movie and threst was comic.

 

[Telekinetic]

Did anyone see the new commerical??

I saw it during the mtv movie awards. It was preety much gamplay and you see them running around in their ultimate outfits.

 

[javon]

Wait...so this isn't on gamecube?

 

[webhead731]

I don't think so.

Wait...so this isn't on gamecube?

No, but it is for the Nintendo Wii

 

[Drizzle]

Is anyone else afraid that this game may turn out to be as crappy as the first game? Because the commercial seemed like it.

 

[MattC]

IMHO it looks much better than the first.

Oh without a doubt, it looks far FAR superior to the previous one. I was really let down by the first game, but I just know this one is going to be a lot of fun.

 

[Telekinetic]

I actually liked the first game. Even though it did suck thatnot all 4 were playable and the boss's were always a bunch of robots or thugs.

Im really looking forward to the game

 

[webhead731]

Each member was playable.

 

[Telekinetic]

I mean all at once.

You could only use two characters without being able to choose.

 

[webhead731]

The game comes out Friday and we only have a 5 paged thread dedicated to it dammit.

Get hyped already.

 

[Telekinetic]

i cant wait

im getting it ASAP on friday

itll get me pumped for the movie!

Why did many people hate the first game? It was one of the funnest games I had ever played. Of course, I'm not a die-hard gamer, and barely play anymore - that might be why

 

[webhead731]

I liked the first game.

Sucky camera at times and some stupid glitches but still, it was awesome.

 

[mjbull23]

The Site for the game looks great.

Not sure if this was posted before. Short review from Blender Magazine. They gave it 3 stars:

To paraphrase a certain orange-hued, scaly-skinned mutant, "It's button-mashin' time!" It's not exactly brain surgery blasting through waves of comic-book thugs in this adaption of the latest Fantastic Four flick, but the game packs the same visceral thrills as a good summer blockbuster. It's not lonely work, either: Up to four can play at once, with the computer controlling any unmanned characters.

Take advantage of the special skills of Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and Thing to get through levels unharmed. Teamwork counts, as using multiple characters together can unleash combo moves that deliver big damage to enemies. Pulling off these tricks can be fun, but it's too easy to fall back on repeating the most effective moves.

If all this seems as familiar as Mr. Fantastic's spandex undershorts, that's because apart from the movie-inspired characters and story line, Fantastic Four is not much different from superhero games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends, both four-player arcade-style brawlers that just about anyone can pick up and play. Fantastic Four lacks the nonlinear story lines and freedom to roam that make the recent Spider-Man 3 game so great. For what it's worth, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is the Summer's second-best comic-to-movies-to-game translation.
