Lego Marvel Avengers

Overview

Lego Marvel’s Avengers a fine game played solo, but it’s a fantastic family game, short on frustration, big on laughs and packed with stuff to think about, find and collect. Serious Marvel True Believers might miss the more varied roster and exotic locations of Lego Marvel Super Heroes, but the new game has it beaten for action, spectacle and humour. Throw in a cracking set of free-roaming locations to explore, and you have another storming superhero hit.

If you don't mind the classic Lego videogame formula and you're a big Marvel fan then there's plenty of value in Lego Marvel Avengers. We enjoyed it but it's a shame about the incoherent plot which jumps between movies frantically, the below par audio...

I love Lego! There, I've said it. I'm a grown man who plays with toy bricks. When growing up, it was probably my toy of choice - and could still be now, come to think of it. I had boxes of the stuff, but stored it away when I went to University and...

Lego Marvel's Avengers is often fun to watch, and some of the Lego magic is there. The humor and goofiness keep things moving when the rest of the game threatens to grind to a halt. But not even Lego charm can overcome all of Lego Marvel's Avengers' design and technical problems.

LEGO Dimensions felt like much-needed innovation for a game series that has seen little change since its inception in 2006. Unfortunately, LEGO Marvel Avengers didn’t take many of those innovations to heart. This is the same formula we’ve seen for years, but done better in older games. Traveller’s Tales strict adherence to the Avengers films is admirable, but ends up hurting the game more than it helps.

Leave it to TT Games to save the day once more with the Marvel license. Lego Marvel's Avengers lives up to the same level of appeal as Super Heroes did years ago, but expands upon it with some fundamental new combat ideas and an overload of content to...

After the inventiveness of Lego Dimensions, it's tough to go back to a game that follows the old Lego formula. But Marvel's Avengers mostly staves off franchise fatigue thanks to its fast-paced, cheery nature. If you've played a Lego game in recent years then you'll know what to expect: another familiar and fun adventure that you can enjoy with your kids.
