Description

In this exciting DVD game you take on the role of Marvel Super Heroes like Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Hulk to defeat villains and win the game. Features footage from animated series like Spider-Man and X-Men.
Look! Up on your TV screen! It’s a DVD. It’s a game. It’s Marvel Super Heroes! From the folks at Brighter Minds comes a game about classic superheroes and villains–specifically aimed at the younger crowd of 6 to 12 year olds. If you have an older child already familiar with these characters and if they have a younger sibling who has never heard of even one, they will both be able to play and learn with this DVD game.

Dr. Doom has let 25 nefarious villains escape from behind bars. It’s up to players–using the Wolverine, Storm, Captain America, and Spider-Man movers–to capture these bad guys again. Snaring a villain is done through rolling the die, moving that number of spaces on the game board, and then seeing which of the seven “mini-games” you’ll be trying to beat. These games come on the included DVD with you controlling the action via remote control, and challenges range from being the first to identify a slowly appearing villain and a game of memory to answering trivia questions and correctly lining up body parts of superheroes.

Villain Locator game
In the Villain Locator game, players must name the escaped evildoer (this is Dr. Octopus) before time runs out and opponents have a chance to guess.

The game’s graphics are beautifully detailed–from the bad guy cards and the sturdy game board to the DVD’s content. Clips from Marvel animated television shows like X-Men and Spider-Man, hours of brand new animation, and more than 300 facts and trivia questions keep this game entertaining for more than just a few rounds. Allowing fans of these classic characters to save the city and become heroes themselves is just an added bonus.

Subway Scramble game
Correctly line up the top, middle, and bottom body sections of your favorite superheroes in the Subway Scramble mini-game.

Probably the greatest thing about this game, though, is its versatility. While it includes four player pieces, you can play alone, with up to four individual players, or with teams. You can also choose to not use the game board by following what Brighter Minds calls the “In the Car” instructions. (As this implies, this game can be used on portable or in-car DVD players as well, making it a great traveling game or time-filler in between errand stops.) There are also three different skill levels–sidekick, hero, and superhero–that allow kids who may not be as familiar with the characters to play at an easier level, while someone with more knowledge can participate in the same game at a harder level, evening the playing field some. Lastly, you can choose to play a short or long version of the game by determining at the beginning of the game how many villains a player needs to capture in order claim victory.
