Marvel Super Hero Squad is a cute game. Check out the review below if you think it’s worth the purchase.

The video game was developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment, Mass Media, and Halfbrick and published by THQ. It is due to be released on October 27,2009 for the Nintendo DS, PS2, PSP and Wii.

The game features charicaturized versions of the Marvel Comics characters, as seen in the Marvel Super Hero Squad toy line, as well as the television show.

MSHS has been split into two parts: Adventure mode and Battle mode. During adventure mode two characters (one character in the DS version) fight through a level by defeating waves of enemies.

The Review

The game features on-the-fly character swapping, similar to the Lego Star Wars games, and also features drop-in, drop-out Cooperative gameplay, with AI playing the unused character during single player.

Battle mode is a free-for-all fighting mode, similar to the Super Smash Bros series. Players can defeat enemies by depleting their health, or knocking them out of the arena
