From Around The Web blog comments powered byWhen LEGO Marvel’s Avengers launched in January it was announced that those who play the game on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 would receive free DLC. The first piece of DLC, the Captain America: Civil War Character Pack is available now. The new LEGO Marvel’s Avengers Character Pack includes new and reskinned characters including: All the characters included are designed to look like their live action counterparts in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War movie being released May 5. This free download is also the console debut of Black Panther and Crossbones, as they have yet to appear in any console video game.
Missing from the lineup is Spider-Man, who just made his first big-screen debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the latest trailer released for Captain America: Civil War earlier this week. It isn’t clear whether this DLC, which is free for all PlayStation 3 and 4 users who own the game, will ever come to PlayStation Vita, Xbox, Nintendo, or PC platforms. LEGO Marvel’s Avengers developer Traveller’s Tales could offer it in the future as paid DLC, but nothing has been announced. There’s another DLC pack coming for free to PlayStation 3 and 4 in the future as well based on the Marvel movie Ant-Man. Similar to the Civil War Character Pack, the Ant-Man pack is set to feature new characters including Hank Pym and Scott Lang, as well as Ant-Thony, the flying ant from the film, along with various other characters from the movie. However that DLC promises to also bring a new level along with the additional characters. Traveller’s Tales has been mum on details of the new level, but it will be based on the movie set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not on the comic books.
The DLC currently has no release date. This new Civil War Character Pack should give some fans a reason to check out LEGO Marvel’s Avengers either again or for the first time. Released at the end of January, LEGO Marvel’s Avengers was one of February’s top selling games, proving that the LEGO brand of games is alive and well. However, our time with LEGO Marvel’s Avengers left something to be desired. As for other games, LEGO Marvel’s Avengers isn’t the only game getting the Captain America: Civil War treatment. Just announced this month, Disney Infinity 3.0 will be getting the Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set this year, heavily influenced by the Civil War movie. LEGO Marvel’s Avengers is available now on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo systems. Which character are you most excited about in LEGO Marvel’s Avengers Civil War Character Pack? Lego Marvel's Avengers is a Lego-themed action-adventure video game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.
It is the spiritual successor to Lego Marvel Super Heroes and the second installment of the Lego Marvel franchise.[1] It follows the plots of both The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron as well as Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The game features characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as characters from comic books. Characters include Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Thor, Ultron, Loki, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Vision and War Machine and some lesser known characters such as Devil Dinosaur and Fin Fang Foom.[2] It includes the characters of the Avengers team along with many others.[3] The game was released on 26 January 2016. Gameplay is similar to LEGO's long running series of franchise video games, with a focus on puzzle solving interspersed with action. Players often have to solve puzzles spread across the game environment, such as figuring out how to move a particular truck that is blocking their progression.
As always, the game has its own unique quirks, for instance taking advantage of its large character library in areas that require two specific characters to team up in order to proceed. Boss battles also take the form of puzzles, often requiring careful timing. While action and fighting are spread liberally throughout the game, it is kept very child-friendly as per LEGO custom. The game features New York City as the main large open world hub, but also, for the first time, includes a dozen other movie significant areas players can travel to, including Asgard, Malibu, South Africa, The Helicarrier, the Bartons' farm, Washington DC and Sokovia.[5] These hubs also feature heavy playability, with hundreds of side quests and bonus levels such as rescuing citizens in trouble, races, and more. The main story actually takes up a fairly small fraction of the game's total "completion". Whilst the game's story is predominantly focused on the two Avengers films there are single levels based on Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
The game features over two hundred playable characters, including some characters (but not all) returning from the previous game. The heroes are drawn not just from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the comics as well. Director Arthur Parsons stated "It's a celebration of everything Avengers. Comic books, movies, cartoons. It's everything you love about the Avengers in video games."[6] Confirmed additional characters include Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel, Sam Wilson's Captain America appearance, America Chavez, Jane Foster's Thor form, Wiccan and Speed.[7] Every two characters have their own unique team-up abilities. There are even separate ones for what character is triggering the attack, meaning nearly 800 team-up moves. Unlike Lego Marvel Super Heroes, which used original voice acting, Lego Marvel's Avengers utilizes audio from the six films being adapted for the game, including voice and music, similar to Lego The Lord of the Rings, The Lego Movie Videogame, Lego The Hobbit, and Lego Jurassic World.
The game has utilized the archive audios from the actors in the films.[8] However, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Ashley Johnson, Hayley Atwell, Michael Peña and Ming-Na Wen reprised their respective roles from the films and TV shows,[9][10] and Marvel Comics co-creator Stan Lee returned to voice himself.[11] Robbie Daymond voices A-Bomb.[12] Lou Ferrigno voices himself and Greg Miller voiced Aldrich Killian. Free PlayStation timed exclusive downloadable content was announced. This included a character pack and a level based on Ant-Man, which was released on April 6, 2016, and a Captain America: Civil War character pack that was released at launch. A season pass was also available during launch, which gave players exclusive access to the "Explorers Pack", story levels and over 40 additional playable characters. These story levels were based on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series as well as levels focused on the comic versions of Black Panther, the Masters of Evil, Captain Marvel, and Doctor Strange.
A Spider-Man character pack was also released on May 24, 2016, which saw the Civil War version of the character as a playable character. Upon its release, Lego Marvel's Avengers received mixed to positive reviews. It has a score of 71% on Metacritic.[15] Game Informer's Andrew Reiner gave the game 7.75 out of 10.[18] IGN awarded it a score of 6.7 out of 10, saying "LEGO Marvel's Avengers is great fun, but unfortunately restricted by sticking to the Marvel Cinematic Universe."[20] Destructoid awarded it a score of 6 out of 10, saying "It's a fun mindless romp through a couple of interesting setpieces, but not a whole lot more than that when it comes down to it."[17] PlayStation Lifestyle awarded it 7.5 out of 10, saying "Some technical hiccups and the occasional unclear objective can hamper your progress, but these can all be overcome in a game that exudes a fun-loving attitude throughout."[22] GameSpot awarded it a score of 7.0 out of 10, saying "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."
