There are close to 200 playable Marvel minifigures, not including any additional DLC characters that will be released at some point in the future.
The game’s story and world are perfectly serviceable, and navigating to objectives with various superheroes is a joy. Players will control a number of Marvel heroes across a number of levels to find various artifacts of power, which will allow the Avengers to properly defeat Kang. “Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2” follows the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy as they face off with Kang the Conqueror, a time-traveling dictator who is looking to rip various Marvel locations out of their proper timeline to create his ultimate kingdom, Chronopolis. The game will adequately entertain its young target audience and fans of recent Marvel films, but anyone looking for more than a nonsensical comic book story might be a little disappointed.
There are a ton of characters to play and a huge world to explore, but the lack of tight mechanics, unique abilities and top-tier voice acting ultimately hurts what would otherwise be an excellent Lego Marvel game. While each Lego title by Traveller’s Tales generally follows the same basic format, “Marvel Super Heroes 2” tends to reach just short of greatness. “Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2” is both a serviceable celebration of all things comic books and plastic bricks, and a somewhat dated Lego game.
