Marvel Super Hero Squad - fun for kids but problematic



We just rented Marvel Super Hero Squad - for play by a pair of under 10's - and it's not a bad game, but it's not great either.

On the positive side is the simplicity of the game - it's basically walk around and smash stuff. The kids love being able to play as the Super Hero squad - which are mini-versions of the Marvel heros we all know and love.

The co-op mode - aka 2 player missions - is very problematic though. The Player 1 is always really in control with the camera following that player. If Player 2 lags behind well they're just left out.

The camera angle  also swings around erratically at points making the game difficult to play.

Overall if you can pick up this game for $20 or less, it's decent fun for a few hours.
