On one hand the game doesn’t do anything great it’s a movie tie in game, plain and simple, but on the other it doesn’t play badly at all. Everything else, however, could clearly use some work (namely the texture and enemy models).Īfter I set the Wii Remote and Nunchuck down and started collecting my thoughts on what I had just played I admit I was a bit torn. The environments are vibrant and colourful, and Captain America’s model is well done. Yes this does mean there isn’t much comic book influence but as a movie tie in game it's pretty well done.

The game seems to capture the feel of the upcoming Captain America film well. Now it’s hard not to judge the game’s visuals on a biased, scale since the whole time I was playing I had a HD version playing out in the corner of my eye, but I will try.

Now I know some people will dislike the idea of the game ‘doing it itself’ but I feel this was a conscious choice to help alleviate some possible frustrations. No guess work into ‘jump distance’ or momentum, just turn and jump. Simply point him in the right direction, an arrow will appear and press jump. Since platform jumping in similar games seems to always be an issue the developers have chosen to have Captain America do most of the jumping himself. Oh sure, you will be throwing it a lot, but during the puzzle sections the game gets pretty creative on how to move on, like having to bounce enemy's attacks off switches to send them into other switches to move on.Īnother nice touch is the lock-on platforming.

America’s shield is his only defence/weapon the developers had to find creative ways to make a primarily defensive object into a mutli-tool. At first I was a bit sceptical that there would be much more to the game but then I discovered the thing that makes this game unique the captain’s shield. You will jump, you will punch, and you will complete your objectives and move on. On the surface, Captain America: Super Soldier is your basic, third person action game. So does this captain prove the Wii still has some fight left in it or is this one destined for the bargain bin? I managed to track down one of these elusive creatures, hidden in a quiet corner of the SEGA booth, there it was, surrounded by Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 demo stations the Wii version of Captain America: Super Soldier. With a new console on the horizon developers have started shifting their resources away from making Wii games, so naturally third party Wii games were hard to come by this E3. Third party support for the Wii has almost disappeared. By Alex St-Amour, posted on 12 June 2011 / 4,243 Views
