![]() The majority of them are confined to specific characters, halting their movement until they randomly decide to reanimate themselves. Once again we see a LEGO game prone to bugs, some of which can be rather irritating. LEGO Marvel 2 takes many mechanics of the franchise and evolves them, but something that always seems to remain is the glitches. It's a simple concept that is also executed as such, but it is an entertaining distraction should you wish to pursue it. The second and more interesting mode is "Capture The Infinity Stones." This one periodically places specific power-up stones in the middle of the arena, and the team who has it in their possession will rack up the points until it cycles to the next stone or they are beaten up and killed. ![]() "Color Clash" has you spreading the ground of the arena with a given colour with your character and then banking the points as you see fit. There are just two modes on offer so there isn't a great amount of diversity. In these arenas you are divided into 2-4 teams and the aim is to win as many points as possible. Whenever you unlock someone new, it's worth checking them out even if it is just for a few moments.ĭogs are now a staple of LEGO, and teleporting ones at that.Īn extra mode for those who want to play with friends, or against AI if you're so inclined, is the battle mode. However, that definitely hasn't stopped TT Games from unleashing the very recesses of their creative minds with the character models we now have. Powers, for the most part, are similar to what we have seen in past instalments, but they work perfectly fine within the context of the game world. Each figure will boastfully introduce themselves as you change to them and animations can vary on an wide scale depending on who you are currently controlling. It's almost a little too overwhelming to navigate due to how many of them are stuffed into the roster but at the same time you can't help but get gleefully excited over how many character variations are at your disposal.Ībilities have also evolved over the years, giving more characters a personality of their own instead of acting as a simple reskin of another. Well over a staggering 200 characters can be collected here and being introduced to the character grid for the first time certainly makes an impression. The comic-book inspired titles in the series have clearly been the most spoilt for choice and LEGO Marvel 2 greedily makes full use of that fact. It's quite the feat from TT Games when we look back at their small beginnings with LEGO Star Wars.Ĭhronopolis may be bad news for its inhabitants, but not for us.Īside from collecting and completing the story, one of the main draws of the LEGO games is the characters. There is more to collect, more story levels to complete and a bigger world to uncover. As you discover more of the content that lies within Chronopolis, it'll become very clear that there is an absolute ton to do. Each hub gets its own time to shine and while there is a linear nature to the story like every other LEGO game to date, this added bonus contributes to the sheer scope of LEGO Marvel 2.

Each area harbours its own distinct theme so there isn't a recycled environment in sight. From a snowy Manhattan to Ancient Egypt, all of these areas are completely connected, allowing you to travel wherever you want, whenever you want. While initially starting as a few separated areas, this time-bending city quickly opens up into one seamless open world made up of 18 unique hubs. LEGO Marvel 2 offers the largest world ever to be seen in TT Games' history. In order to usurp Kang from his throne, the heroes must travel across the gigantic city of Chronopolis and it is here where the game is at its strongest. ![]() The criteria of 15 levels appears to be no more as there are more story levels to be experienced. The stakes aren't necessarily as high as Galactus salivating over the planet as his next meal, but the story does its utmost to keep the tension high. Kang's diabolical plot involves multiple worlds from different time periods being fused together into what is essentially a giant toy box for our villain. Kang the Conqueror is the latest threat and it is made apparent from the get-go. ![]() While we still see plenty of the core Avengers heroically fighting crime throughout the story, different characters make a regular appearance this time around.
