    I really wanted to like this game. I really did. There are some great things about it, but the negatives really outweigh the positives here. For starters, the fact that this is a port of a game originally for Kinect will instantly drive people away from it. The controls, while functional, just don't really seem to fit, and I can definitely say this would have been much better as a standard 3D fighter. And of course, there is a serious lack of content. There's no worthwhile story, and while Ubisoft did manage to scrape together a large number of well-known Marvel characters (and they look pretty good in a celshaded art style), they overlooked other famous ones like Deadpool, Juggernaut, Carnage, Ghost Rider and Cyclops in favour of characters like Scarlet Witch who most people have never even heard of. And locking content on the disc and making us pay for it as DLC? Really, Ubisoft? I thought you better than that.… Expand

    We applaud Battle For Earth's unique approach to simplistic fighting, but its lack of content and depth won't impress anyone but the most junior gamers.

    The game is a strange rock-paper-scissor like beat-em-up, too simplistic and too naïve. Even with Avengers and Marvel Secret Invasion license it does not have any appeal, if you aren’t a strong fan of the series. It’s evident the effort made by the developers in order to improve the game, implementing a new control system dedicated to WiiU’s GamePad, unfortunately this was not enough to improve the game itself.

    Limited in every aspect. This game doesn't offer a decent amount of content, nor fun gameplay.
