    Not as good as the first game, but far more enjoyable in multiplayer than in single-player mode.

    There was a wealth of material here that it seems the dev team tried to cram into the story. Instead of a well-scripted tale, this game is a random (repetitive) level run that loosely fits some story, if you can find and hold on to the main thread.
  3. IGN

    The bottom line is you never feel like you're the Fantastic 4. Instead, you're a big orange tank and three kick boxers who know some magic tricks.

    Despite an entire review's worth of problems, Fantastic Four isn't a complete loss. It has some nice-looking effects ("flaming on," specifically), a decent joke or two, and some nice extras to unlock (old Fantastic Four comic covers, alternate costumes, etc.), but it's just not compelling in any of the basic areas it needs to be.

    In fact, it’s repetitive and (quickly) becomes boring. Regardless of the enemy, expect a lot of walking around, smashing, taking of elevators to the next floor, more walking around, and more smashing and more … well, you get the picture.
  6. GamesRadar+

    We know that plenty of people will look past the monotonous gameplay, poor voice acting, unimaginative level design, lack of online play, etc., but our advice is to hold out for the next movie.
  7. GameSpy

    The graphics are distinctly last-gen, with bland, repetitive environments that feel as slapped together as every other part of this lackluster brawler.

The gaming engine within the ps3 should excite the producers of the games that are comming out for this platform but it seems that they have only gone half way with this one. When are they going to realise that the concept of "press a button to open the door then kill some badies then press a button to open the door then kill some badies etc etc is not what we want any more. Graphicly it looked reasonable but the charactor movements were inconsistent and sometimes were very annoying. I know a lot of work goes into making games but to be honest its not just about the work that goes into making these things its about the thought that goes into the story behind the game. When your paying top prices for games you expect a little bit more than this.… Expand
