SO! As a pretty big fan of Deadpool but mostly just of the Cable & Deadpool comics specifically I was all 'holy CRUD THIS COULD RUIN DEADPOOL IF I DON'T LIKE IT BUT I HAVE TO REVIEW IT OH MY LORD WHAT IF I DIE OR GET REALLY UPSET OR something else likely significantly less dramatic' so there was a lot riding on this game and it turned out pretty much exactly as I expected... Kinda dumb, average gameplay (sorry I didn't talk about it much - I rambled too much and edited it out because it got boring, but that's probably because it's boring to talk about and I think YouTube should be used for more genuine comments on important things instead of a thorough critical analysis/one of my written reviews, does anyone even read these? I'm writing so poorly) somewhat annoying but fully tolerable and yeah, it's an okay game. Nothing great, nothing horrible, just plainly okay. I do really love the cameos and the references to things like the Sentinels that are hugely significant in the Marvel universe - I actually also really like that they didn't include Iron Man or Capt or Spidey just for extra fanboying. Though I should mention some parts of this game outright insult fans - there was one monologue that literally demanded comic fans who would dislike that the game wasn't entirely accurate to the current comics to get out of their mothers basements and get a real job, or something along those lines. It was oddly defensive of the writers to put that in, I was fairly surprised by it. Authenticity is pretty important, Marvel, but you could have just explained that it wasn't canon without legitimately insulting a huge chunk of your audience... It was odd. But yeah, the choice of villains is quite nice, and the 'drones' you fight are actually clones of X-Men and holy crap the Gambit one is the most appalling thing to fight in the universe. It's literally a human ticking time bomb. You shoot it and its health drops rapidly before exploding with a pretty significant radius. Sometimes they set off one another, too, and that's equally annoying. But still fun, even though they make me panic excessively. Also I mentioned that I played it on hard - I would recommend playing on hard. It's a very simple game, and hard is still quite easy (compared to other recent games I've played - I'm looking at you, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge). And also, Nolan North is a BRILLIANT voice actor but I'm fairly sure that's not exactly *breaking news* to anyone.
