The character Captain America first appeared in Marvel comics way back in 1941. That’s over 70 years ago, yet this fictional superhero is still going strong, as shown by the popularity of the Captain America: Super Soldier
video game.
With a PEGI rating of 16 and over Captain America: Super Soldier isn’t suitable for younger children. Our super hero has to fight against evil and the war will become very ugly.
As a player you can become Captain America. You can battle hordes of enemies while you don the costume and carry the prestigeous shield. While you play the captain your enemies the Forces of Hydra will be hunting you down. Some of those are: Madam Hydra, Red Skull and Iron Cross. You, the hero have to fight your way into the mysterious Hydra castle, defeating the evil scientist on the way. Gamers will need to utilise every attck and special power available to beat their enemies.
The graphics are excellent, really sharp and vital. You will travel through backgrounds of city streets and enter evil laboratories to be surrounded by peculiar scientific equipment. All really detailed and eye catching but not too much to distract you from enjoying playing the game.
You can see some comic book influence in the styling of the scenery and comic book fans will enjoy how much attention has been paid to detail with this homage to the original comics. The scenery may be well detailed but the fighting sequences pay even more attention to detail.
On the offensive or on the defence, Captain America can use his shield to attack or defend. His iconic shield can be used to knock down enemies and deflect bullets while the fantastically fit superhero leaps from balconies and railings. As a player you can enjoy being able to free fall through a ceiling or leap from the rafters apart from being able to use standard kicks and jumps.
This game is really exciting for teenagers and adults and it isn’t so violent that you get distracted by blood and gore.
The game Captain America: Super Soldier was released to coincide with Captain America’s newest film. The Captain is very nimble and athletic, just as you would expect any superhero to be in combat. He can easily devastate a single enemy but wait until you see him in combat with several of his foes at once. The battles created are long and tiring, but as a player you are left with a strong feeling of living within the game.
The combination of tough enemies and a rich story work together to create a game that has the power to keep a player engaged for hours at a time. Captain America: Super Soldier brings something that you don’t often see in many of the games of today and that’s patriotism. This really is a brilliant game even if you have no interest in superheros or comic books. Some will love the character’s rich history, others will love the Captain’s ferocious combat style.
