Lego Marvel Super Heroes

New York City is in danger from Doctor Doom and a cadre of other super villains, and it's up to an alliance of super heroes from the Marvel universe to stop their evil scheme. Players will switch between controlling these different heroes as they battle through levels and eliminate the threat one villain at a time.

Representation For a simple kid's game, Lego Marvel Super Heroes is refreshingly diverse. The characters reflect the diversity of the Marvel Universe with heroes and villains of different genders and ethnic backgrounds.

The game lets you save virtually anytime with specific savepoints in the middle of missions.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes is a family game, and so the gameplay difficulty is pretty low. Some of the puzzles might be tricky for young kids, but the controls should be manageable.

• Lego Marvel Super Heroes contains a mix of both male and female heroes. How do you feel about the roles played by the female super heroes? Are they as central to the storyline?
• Do you like the puzzle or fighting portions of the game better?
• Is Lego's adaptation true to the heroes' stories? Is anything "dumbed down"?
