  1. Still, it's a solid rental and a good way to spend some time having a bit of fun. If you really want to kick ass as the Fantastic 4, go play Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.
  2. It would be nice to play as each character in a Gauntlet-style format, but the lack of distinctive abilities for each of the four characters puts the kibosh on that dream. One could surmise that this game was doomed from the start.
  3. The whole game looks like it was hastily moulded out of plasticine. [Sept 2007, p.70]
  4. Over the course of playing, we weren't thinking "God this is terrible." We actually weren't thinking much at all because the game flowed along at an unnoticeable level of entertainment delivery. It was just sort of "there" and then it was "gone."

    Apart from the energetic musical score, there's nothing good about the Nintendo DS game. This is simply shelf fodder, the game grandparents will blindly buy for Little Timmy because the parents took him to see the movie.
  6. The Nintendo DS rendition of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a short collection of generic levels that hardly relate to the movie at all.
  7. If you need a comic-book, movie-license game fix look elsewhere. I beg you. [Aug 2007, p.83]

    There's no reason for you to ever play this waste of plastic. Avoid it at all costs.

    Very disappointing. Poor graphics, difficult to control-unforgiving. The story line is uninteresting. Just all around, not much fun. Your $ is better spent on a different game. Full Review »
