    A lifetime's work of demolition awaits you since nearly everything is destructible in Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. Camera and detection are sometimes issues, but this was kind of expected due to the gameplay style.

    A rather straightforward 3D brawler, with enemies materializing in a green haze and fairly begging to be dispatched with prejudice. [Oct 2005, p.55]

    Under-use of the Marvel license, focus on style over substance and a rushed developer have ensured that Marvel Nemesis will be the turkey of the EA holiday lineup.

    I love this game. This is the first fighting game I have ever had fun playing. It's great.

    Much like the title suggests, Marvel Nemesis is indeed imperfect, but what it lacks in technical finesse it makes up for in loads of old-school, power stone-esque, beat-em-up fun. A severely underrated game that has grown nicely with age.… Expand

    Characters are fun to play but story mode levels are ridiculous and obviously tacked-on. This game should have been left a straight up fighter. For the inevitable sequel, I hope they concentrate more on versus mode and eliminate story mode entirely.… Expand

    Pros: The box looks cool Cons: Marvel's game disc was in side of it.
