I have never enjoyed a Lego game and this one has it's hooks in me. Wow this game is good. Was needing
another next gen game and I'm glad I took a chance on it. Still working on my platinum trophy but I've already sunk 50+ hours into this. I agree with everyone that the flight controls are wonky though. They go from decent to wtf in a blink of an eye. Makes me tempted to check out that WiiU game now.

You mean City Undercover?
that is great, imho.
it lacks multiplayer modes, but man...both the irony of the narrative, the epicness of the final sequence, the uses of the gamepad and the foaming around the hub are simply great.

I didn't know of the
Fastball Special
Also, having played both PC and Wiiu versions, the mini map is kinda bad on the PC version. All the icons get mushed up. Otherwise it looks nice and blocky.
I managed to get the game for 29.99 @ Argos in the UK for PS4 and have been slowly playing through it with my 4 and 6 year old.
One of the most fun gaming experiences I've had in a long time.

Wish TT would do online multiplayer.
Strange that Star Wars: Complete Saga and Indiana Jones 2 had online multiplayer on the 360, but they've not done it since.

I personally hate this game because of the PS4 launch in the UK. I REALLY HATE this game.
Been playing this on PC a little bit before bed lately, and honestly it's phenomenal. If you don't hate Marvel or hate LEGOs, I recommend playing this if you do enjoy fun. That's about as much detail as I need to get into for a review so like many have I wanted to just comment on some little things.
One thing it nails is just being a good Marvel game.
Obviously it's not serious, but it presents the universe tied mainly to the Cinematic Universe but also back to the various comic storylines that have seen no shortage of team-ups like Mr. Fantastic and the X-Men, Captain America and Spider-Man, etc, that we'll not soon, and possibly never see on the big screen. All the characters "work" once you know the basic controls and variations. and that's no small feat alone.
One thought I keep coming back to is just: say you want to play "the game where you can ____" and what you really want is to swing through an open world NYC as Venom, or fly through it as Nova. So what do you play? Before this game, no option. Now the answer is LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Honestly, it's damn fun. Little touches like being able to jump off a building as Johnny Storm and turn into the Human Torch in midair to start flying (you know what he'll say) or hovering replete with purple bubble energy shield as Magneto just happen exactly like you'd expect, and it's wonderful. There are an unbelievable amount of unique idle and combat animations too.
It also does an admirable job making the LEGO impact more than just "the characters happen to kind of look like LEGOs." Breaking elements of the level down and rebuilding it to advance is completely par for the course in these games, many times over- but seeing it happen as one ability alongside your favorite web-slinging, lightning-striking, or, missile-launching (as one of 5 Iron Man suits including a Hulkbuster, plus War Machine/Iron Patriot via IM3, by the way), makes it seem fresh, and you're never impeded long enough to get bored.
Got the DLC for Symbiote Spider-Man and Phoenix, and truth be told I'd buy more. Want Nightcrawler

I was just playing as Ant-Man and in free roam and I fell through the floor into a void. Bizarrely I managed to switch to a flying character and flown over to a spec on the screen which turned out to be the lift from the helecarrier.
Yes.

It sounds like they're very similar, with maybe some tiny advantages to the PS4.

I'm having problems finding the last Stan Lee in Peril. I've got 49/50 Stan Lee's, 249/250 gold bricks, and all characters unlocked except Stan. There are no more Stan Lee icons on the map and I've found him in every level.
Has anyone run into this? This is what is keeping me from getting 100%. I'm on Wii U if that matters.

I got the platinum trophy and then started again from scratch after getting bored with AC4 and not having anything else I want to play until Spider-Man.

Guys, I finished LEGO City Undercover last year and really loved it. No I heard that this one is open world, too. Should I give it a try or is LEGO City Undercover so much better? Would you prefer the PS3- or the PC-Version? How is the open world compared to LEGO City Undercover?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!

The Wii U version probably runs the same or a little better.
But the real reason to get it is that it supports off screen multiplayer which is awesome.
One player can use the gamepad screen like a 2nd TV.

Apologies for the bump but I've gotta ask. Has anyone encountered an issue where there is no main menu during the title screen? Picked this up on Xbox One btw.
Completed about 40% and I love games where you just go around collecting stuff after you've completed it but this is pretty heavy going for me. Do people have any practices in moving towards 100% or do they just pick something on the map and do that?
EDIT:
Oops, don't know what happened there.
Also. does anybody know how I get to this cordoned off area on the map? I have a Stan Lee icon and I know that I'm probably missing something obvious about getting there but I can't work it out.
