Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

The Fantastic Four honor the time honored tradition of mediocre movie-to-game ports

For all it does half-heartedly, part of us still wants to like Fantastic Four because of what it is: a game about the Fantastic Four. Fortunately, the more reasoning part of us thinks that this game just adds to the list of games that publishers know they don't have to try hard to sell a lot of copies (Spider-Man 3 anyone?) because, like we said, it's the Fantastic Four OMG! The game follows a simple beat 'em up formula that will keep you entertained for awhile, but it lacks so much of the depth and creativity that we expect from the comics and movies. We would only recommend it to those who are big enough fans of the super heroes to look past the serious flaws in the game.

You'll love
  • Unlocking additional powers
  • Playing as any of the Four
  • A large cast of villains
You'll hate
  • Repetitive combat
  • Rooms that look the same
  • Not much replayability
