Best one ever
I believe my review title reference of DP's character upgrade from Ultimate Alliance 2 says it all. The game is in an over-the-top, 4th wall breaking class of its own. As other reviewers stated, the graphics aren't groundbreaking and the gameplay is twitchy at times, especially the shooting mechanics. However, the game offers a unique experience that you won't find anywhere else. The closest thing I can think of is the Spawn PS 2 game due to its combo of melee and shooting. The only minor complaint I find is the combat gets repetitive even with the variations High Moon Studios cleverly threw in, but what third-person action game doesn't get monotonous at times? I've played through every level but the last two. I'm a veteran video gamer and it took me about 4 hours to get that far, which isn't too bad considering I haven't touched the challenge maps yet and there are at least 2 levels I want to replay because they were so much fun. This game interacts with the player amazingly and I think that helped keep me engaged. I found the graphics to be above-par, especially during combat. Parents be warned: just because Wolverine, Psylocke, Rogue and other familiars appear in the game does not make this suitable for children or early teens. It's full of jokes about gay sex, killing, hetero sex, the size of various sex organs and much more. Spoiler and graphic content alert: to give a small sample of the violence in the game- at one point the player has to control Deadpool as he climbs up his own intestines after his body has been cut in half, so that he can slice off his own guts to free himself to an area below where the lower half of his body is waiting. So think about that before buying this for little Tommy or Suzie and then complaining about the grotesque level of violence after you, yourself, had the idiocy to purchase a game, one that truly earned its M rating, for your 11-15 year old. The violence and raunchiness are on another planet compared to other M rated games like Black Ops. I stopped playing GTA games a while ago, but I'd say Deadpool makes those look tame by comparison. Like I said, it's pretty much the best one ever. Now click "helpful!"
