Earn 54 Clubcard pointsDeadpool' is a playable character in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Deadpool does not have a major role in the main story, but he acts as a narrarator for the extra missions found throughout New York City. Deadpool's level of violence has been dialed down, but he still retains his rough humour and insane comedy. In addition, the red power bricks are now known as "Deadpool red bricks". When players find one, then they can buy it off of Deadpool in his room aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Not much is known about the former soldier, Wade Winston Wilson. He was once a member of the United States Military, and was a ruthless soldier in the service of the cruel William Stryker. Wade joined the Weapon X program in exchange for a cure to his cancer. Now, with a healing factor similar to immortality (and a face that many say "looks like hamburger meat"), he is an assassin and mercenary. Deadpool holds no mercy, and talks freely, earning him the nickname "Merc with a Mouth".
He is loyal to whoever pays him the most money, and deadly to anyone that is unfortunate enough to become his target, his moralliy is a surreal mess, constant fliping between good and evil guided by 1 idiotic and rude voice and 1 rather wise and moral voice in his head. He has also a friednly/hateful relationship with Wolverine who he annoys and pesters constantly. Deadpool has a red-and-black mask with white eyeholes, a red-and-black shirt, a utility belt bearing the Deadpool insignia, red-and-black pants, katanas attached to his back, red gloves, and an extra utility strap around his leg. He can pull out and use firearms when killing thugs in ranged combat. Being a mercenary, Deadpool has typical mercenary skills. Many of his abilities in the game are adapted into a LEGO style, straight from the comics. Amongst these abilities are: Dual Wielding (Katanas): Deadpool has a pair of black ninja katanas. He can use these to slice and dice his way through enemies, with expert precision.
Gunmanship: Deadpool carries around a large inventory of firearms. With these, he can use a precise target system to fire at enemies. If on the run, he can fire rapidly at will. Deadpool can also dual wield specific types of guns. Healing Factor: Deadpool, like Wolverine, turns into a skeleton when "killed". Deadpool is voiced by Nolan North, who is known for voicing the character in other works, most notably Hulk vs Wolverine, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and Deadpool: The Video Game. Deadpool's first special attack is to toss his swords into the air, then jump up and devastate his enemy with a barrage of gunfire before catching his swords. Deadpool's second special attack is to summon a holographic Deadpool logo above his head and an interaction circle at his enemy's feet, then pull the circle up to their torso, pinning their arms and leaving them helpless as he bashes them with the Deadpool logo.LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril, a game that found its way to consoles in 2013 and other mobile platforms in 2014, has now fought its way into the Play Store.
This port has managed to come in before LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, an older title that briefly appeared on the Amazon Appstore and never found its way onto Google Play. Unlike that relatively faithful port, Universe in Peril is not a copy of the version that originally graced consoles. Instead, it's a more portable take that's better suited for short breaks throughout the day and even shorter attention spans. This mobile adaptation takes a dozen stages from the console title and breaks them down into bite-sized chunks. You get in, you get to use a few powers, and you get out. The huge hub worlds that serve as sandboxes between stages didn't make the cut. The experience contains nearly 100 characters, which may be a lot, but it represents only a portion of the numbered packed into the original game. You can pay to instantly unlock heroes or get stud boosts so that you can grind for them more quickly on your own, but none of this is necessary. The full game is open to anyone who puts down $4.99 for the download.
Alternate title: [That Will Be $4.99 Ma'am] LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Don't Face Androids For Free Lego Marvel Super Heroes (Playboard) | Lego Marvel Super Heroes (Play Store) Platform: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Windows PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Release: January 26, 2016 I entered into Lego Marvel’s Avengers with some trepidation. Last fall’s Lego Dimensions successfully shook up TT Games’ 12-year-old Lego formula by adding real-world bricks to the mix and mashing up a broad range of disparate pop culture properties. You could build the Mystery Machine on your coffee table and put Homer Simpson behind the wheel, snap together the Weighted Companion Cube from Portal and make Doctor Who manipulate it, create Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet and have it piloted by Marty McFly. It was creative, funny, engaging, and fresh. I was concerned that going back to a regular old Lego game based on a single piece of pop culture with no real-world models to build would feel like a step backwards.
And it kind of does. But while Avengers – the second Lego game to be based on Disney’s juggernaut series of Marvel Cinematic Universe films – does indeed feel somewhat slighter than Dimensions, I’d forgotten just how good TT Games is at capturing the spirit of the franchises it both celebrates and parodies. There’s plenty here that will put smiles on the faces of players both young and old — including a surprising amount of recorded dialogue from Marvel overlord Stan Lee (“Excelsior!”). And while Avengers does little to change the core Lego game formula – which is now 20 games strong – it nibbles around that recipe’s edges just enough to avoid coming off as a rote clone of games that have come before. The changes start with the structure of the story. Rather than just chronologically retell the tale of the two Avengers films, the narrative combines scenes from half a dozen different Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Fans will instantly recognize such scenes as the snowy opening sequence of the second Avengers movie, Captain America’s showdown against Red Skull, and the helicarrier set piece battle from the first Avengers film, only now they’ll be seeing some of these sequences as character flashbacks rather than in chronological order.
And since this is a Lego game, you can expect more comedic catalysts for important events. Watching Bruce Banner get coaxed into his Hulk form not through rage but by getting sacked actually made laugh out loud. And Agent Coulson’s mystery alien weapon from the first Avengers film doesn’t fire a piercing burst of energy, but instead a red boxing glove on a spring, freeing the audience to giggle a little more heartily at his dying words, “So that’s what it does” – which, like much of the game’s dialogue, were lifted directly from the film’s audio. You can also expect significantly fewer puzzles than what we were given in games like Lego Dimensions or even the Lego Harry Potter series. Nick Fury and company are presented occasional brainteasers, but they’re generally pretty easy. Solutions frequently flash onscreen prior to the puzzle starting to let us know which buttons to press to enter a code on a panel or where to look to find a hidden object with a scanner.
Clearly, TT Games believes – right or wrong – that kids interested in super heroes would rather spend their time beating up bad guys than solving riddles. To that end, a bit of attention was lavished on how the game’s 100-plus characters take down their enemies. Just hammering buttons will usually do the trick, but players can also choose to tap the circle button to make their characters perform signature moves, individually or in tandem. They take a few seconds to play out, but they’re often pretty satisfying – like when the Hulk picks up Iron Man and wields him like a laser gun. Even minor characters, like Cobie Smulders’ Maria Hill, have their own unique takedowns (which, in her case, involves tossing a bad guy high into the air and casually watching him plummet back down to the ground). However, if you’re looking for tweaks more substantial than some fresh finishing moves and a clever way of retelling a story set over multiple films, then Lego Marvel’s Avengers may not do the trick.
As with every other game in the series, the bulk of your time is still spent smashing everything in sight, occasionally constructing something new from the leftover bricks – a car, a weapon, a computer panel – that will let you clear some sort of obstacle. You’re also still meant to replay finished levels with different characters in order to find all of the hidden goodies that are inaccessible the first time through. And between levels we’re given the same set of side activities we always get, such as customizing Lego minifigure characters and spending Lego studs to unlock special abilities (the quicker you buy the attract-studs-from-afar Red Brick, the better). As with pretty much any Lego game (except perhaps Dimensions), what it really comes down to is whether you’re tired of the Lego game shtick, whether you happen to be a fan of whatever pop culture property TT Games happens to have on tap, and whether you have someone to sit beside you on the couch so you can play and laugh together – these games are always much more fun experienced with a friend or family member.
