Cobie Smulders came in to record new audio for the game, too, which is a nice bonus even if she didn’t get used anywhere near as well as they she could have been. There are moments when the game swaps to that now famous in-helmet shot of Tony Stark and Robert Downey Jr’s voice comes through the speakers, for example, that sound great. Still, when the voice work does hit it hits hard. Other voice work comes across as washed out and flat, the result of being put through filters and other editing tricks to muffle the background sounds.
Another scene where Thor slaps some documents into Tony Stark’s chest sounds horrendous as you can quite clearly hear the original background audio from the movie, which doesn’t correctly match up with anything on screen.

For example Captain America utters mid-game, “if you get killed…walk it off” and you can quite clearly hear the original background audio of the movie playing with it, contrasting itself against what’s going on in the game.

It’s incredibly jarring, and sounds remarkably like it was the result of some muppet grabbing audio off the DVD version of the film using some free editing software and pasting it straight into the game. Some lines sound just fine, but others clearly stand out as not coming from the game itself, and you can audibly here the beginning of the recording kick in. An even bigger problem is how terrible the dialogue actually sounds as whoever was in charge of mixing the audio did a pretty poor job of it. But hey, Hulk takes some selfies with a Leviathan, so that’s cool.Ī lot of the problems stem from the decision to insert original film dialogue into the game, automatically restricting the game’s humour a fair bit, especially when the dev’s are also busy attempting to replicate scenes from the movies, too. The rest of the humour feels even more random and disconnected than ever, so there’s plenty of bananas being waved about and for some reason Nick Fury slurping away at a drink for the entire opening level of The Avengers is supposed to be funny. Loki watching Thor and Iron-Man duke it out while eating some popcorn? I don’t know, it should elicit a bit of a smile from me but it just feels….expected.

Hawkeye, meanwhile, carries around a wheelbarrow full of arrows in a brilliant parody of how he seemingly never runs out of ammo. The rest of it, though, just feels like the writers are going through the motions. And there are moments when it does all go rather well the Hulks first transformation in the Avengers is turned into a series of slapstick events that make Banner progressively more angry. Considering humour plays a big part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe the match seemed rather perfect, and Lego Marvel Heroes proved to be very successful. It seems to have the makings of something awesome take the Avengers, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Winter Soldier, Thor 2, Iron Man 3 and both Captain America films and jam them together in much the same way that the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings Lego games were handled. Worse, this was the first time that I only smiled or laughed a few times playing a Lego game.
I’ve taken a break from the series for a few entries now and was looking forwards to returning and at the very least experiencing the same beloved Lego style with a few alterations, but what I found was pretty much exactly the same game that I had played last time.
#LEGO AVENGERS PC REVIEW LICENSE#
But one series constantly escapes the rage of gamers TT Games has consistently pumped out several Lego titles every single year for quite some time now, taking the same template and draping a new license over it, perhaps altering just a few little things to make the gameplay thematically fit. It’s a vicious of people complaining, and people buying anyway. Yet people still buy them, because they are nothing if not consistant, at least for the most part.

Review code provided free of charge by the publisherīoth the Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty franchises get a lot of flack for pushing out new entries every single year that don’t particularly shake-up up the series, opting to instead alter small things and keep the familiar gameplay mechanics front and centre.
