Lego Marvel: Super Heroes - Part 1

[CyclopsWasRight]

List of dumb/useless characters you should've said instead of Coulson:

* A.I.M. Agent
* Aunt May
* Beetle
* Damage Control
* Doombot
* Frost Giant
* Green Goblin (Ultimate)
* Kingpin Henchman
* Kurse
* Mini Sentinel
* Nightmare
* Roxxon Guard
* Sand Goon
* Symbiote #1
* Symbiote #2

Aside from Aunt May, Roxxon guard, A.I.M agent and Kingpin Henchmen they are all better than Coulson. They have powers and a history in the comics, he just has a gun.

Aunt May once wore an Iron Man suit in the comics, so I would discard her so easily.

I just did and played the level through, awesome fun!

It's the Sand Central Station level but there's so much more than the videos we've seen, I'm even more huped now!

Arthur Parsons confirms Nova, mentions teleporting as an in-game ability (still hope for Nightcrawler?), and hints at an unrevealed character somehow related to the circus tent in Central Park:

Nightcrawler was in the circus, right....?

Nightcrawler was in the circus, right....?

He was... Could be... But Arthur sort of implies it's a villain.

I actually picked up a minikit playing the demo, at the very start on the ramp, target a big silver thing on the side of the buildings to the left with Iron Man or toss something with Hulk and you'll blow a hole there, just fly over to collect it. Also saw a bunch of other stuff that will undoubtedly lead to more minikits and/or the level's Stan in Peril.

Is flying like lego batman 2? How long is the demo?

Is flying like lego batman 2? How long is the demo?

I won't be able to accurately and objectively answer that until I've flown around in Freeplay, but it seemed somewhat smoother. Iron Man has very good maneuverability. As for lenght, the demo is just the first level, Sand Central Station, which is broken up into three sections. I'd say it took me about twenty minutes to play through it, but of course, I've already seen other people playing it to death and knew what to do. I'm not very good at playing with a keyboard, though. It'll go by a bit faster on PS3.

Sweet do you fight sandman at the end? Is spider playable?

Sweet do you fight sandman at the end? Is spider playable?

You play as Iron Man and Hulk at first, and then Spidey joins them for the rooftop boss battle against Sandman. The battle consists of spraying him with water from three different sources that makes him solid enough for Hulk to smash, while dodging gigantic fists and Sand Goons.

What is spider like?

What is spider like?

I didn't use him to fight much or at all, since the rooftop battle is mostly building and activating the various devices to spray Sandman with, and the A.I. characters do a pretty good job of clearing the area of enemies as you work, but he seems nimble and very useful. I pulled levers with webbing, scaled a wall and used the spider-sense, and the only thing I kinda miss is a double jump from previous game iterations but if you tap the button twice, he immediately launches into web swinging. Nothing too bad, though.

The game is REALLY great fun and it'll only get better on a console!

Just finished playing the demo. Fun as hell! I swear I spent like 10 minutes just web yoyoing up and down as Spider-Man. Feels like it's been so long since I could do that in a video game.

I was wondering that myself, they haven't put up anyone new today.

 

[Norrin Parker]

[LEGO Spidey]

Maybe we'll get two tomorrow.

And hopefully it's someone we haven't a clue of yet!

 

[MarvelWarrior]

Thanks for the info guys!

 

[Norrin Parker]

Anyone know when they add the demo to XBLA I was thinking of staying up tonight til midnight if that's when they add it.

They always do this. For Lego Batman 2 all of the good characters were on the handheld version (Azrael, Red Hood, Green Arrow, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Red Robin, and a few others)
