It is not always wise to make a game based on a comic book hero. The reason for this is simple. There are many movies made as a result of a comic book hero and the vast resources spent on the movie makes it near perfect. But, gaming companies don't have the huge funds available to make a game in comparison with a movie company. The result is the game becomes a low budget movie instead.
Captain America: Super Soldier is now the latest victim of this crime. The developer rushed the game onto the market too quickly. The game needed more improvement and could have been polished to make it one of the best games to hit the market this year, but alas, it's a catastrophic mistake once again.
The story in the game is much different to that of the movie. The hero, Steve is sent to a large castle situated in the mountains. The castle was once the home of Baron Zemo, a villain who used the castle as his lair. The castle is well protected with enhanced weapons and automatic guns, etc. The foes in the castle will protect it all costs as it holds a hidden secret that allows one to rule the world.
Zemo does not feature in the game. You will find out the reason when you play the game. The game is loaded with action. If you like shooting and playing the part of a soldier who kicks butt wherever he goes, then you have no reason to complain. The fighting is based on acrobatic styles and there isn't any brutal stuff involved in the game. You also have guns, batons, and other classic weapons to take down your enemies. There are also explosives and other heavy weaponry to make the game more exciting. You can block or deflect most objects thrown at you and you have a shield to help protect you. There is really no denying that the combat scenes are excellent.
The graphics is nothing spectacular but reasonable at best. The characters are pretty standard and their movement is somewhat jerking. When you talk the lips don't look real and neither are the voices.
The sound is mediocre and fits the game, but it becomes annoying after a while. You must listen to the narrative in order to proceed through the levels safely. You can't really do your own thing, but if you do stray and wander on your own disregarding the advice of the narrative, you do so at your own peril.
Coming back to the movie, the voices are not the same people, and it would have been great if it was the same cast, but it isn't. The levels are easy even if you play on the hardest level and should take about 24 hours to complete. You can unlock hidden levels and play challenge missions. Although everything is pretty standard the game is rather exciting and you may be tempted to play it again once you've finished it.
It's a small game, but purchasing it might not be such a bad thing. Captain America fans usually don't mind short games that have lots of excitement and action to keep them entertained, even though it's not for long.
