Hello everyone.Here we are with Marvel's latest game
Avengers Initiative.
It's the first part of a multi game story
that they're going to be doing.
Each game will focus on other members of Marvel
and Marvel's Avengers. The first one is The Hulk and basically it's
one of those slasher games. Very Infinity Blade, Death Dome, or just released
also
Dragon Slayer from Glu Mobile.
So basically the graphics on this thing are absolutely stunning.
Really are some of the best graphics I've seen on a mobile game,
you're almost talking console quality here.
It's also available as a Tegra 3 game as well which includes additional
special effects etcetera.
You have all of the usual things. If you've played Infinity Blade
or any of these other games you
know the score. You have to block and dodge, and then when you can...
start attacking, Whoops there you go.
Charge up and attack.
There's lots of extra things in here though. You've got the ability to power-up special attacks.
There's also augmentations you can use which help to
boost your power and attack speed etcetera.
Very very interesting. There's also a store that I haven't checked out yet.
Bear in mind this game is currently on special offer for four days I think, for £4.99.
Then it's going to go up in price so you may want to grab it while it's reasonably
cheap. I will be slightly put off if there's also an in app purchase with this store
for anything more than just releasing the next edition of the game.
Let's hope there's no play to wins in there, we'll take a look in a minute.
I'll just beat this guy.
Really, really, really nicely done actually.
Still trying to work out how to
interrupt his attacks there.
I'm pretty much just button bashing right now.
There's quite a nice story going on as well. All of the
super villains and other monsters etcetera from the
universe have escaped
from captivity and
the Marvel team
or Marvel Avengers team have all got to stop them. I think the idea is that
there will be one adventure
for each of the Marvel heroes,
and then
everyone will come together for the final
part of the story.
For the final game, which will
be quite nice.
Bit strange that this didn't make it out for the movie
but even so it's nice to have a whole new story and kind of
doing it a little bit like
comic book.
Interesting to see what the other games in the series are going to be like, Batman
for instance. I would imagine it's going to be some form of flying game in part
Same with xxxx.
Let's go for anexecute special move to get this guy off.
As you can see the graphics and animation are top notch.
So you level up.
You get various bonus points for your XP etcetera
and you also collect this crystal stuff
which is used I think for buying
powers but I'm not completely sure at this point.
When you level up you can then distribute some various points, that's
a smash.
I'll look at the store while I'm here.
See what's going on there.
So different buffs by the looks of it.
So you can have different types of
Hulk characters from the ages.
That is the Hulk, that's kind of cool.
Looks like you buy those with the crystals.
Costumes, oh look, there you go.
You can buy lots of crystal
If you want to using real money. Oh dear.
Oh well, sorry you're losing a star for that one Marvel. It would be nice, if you're charging
that kind of price for a game, that you've kind of already included all the bits you need and
not some more play to win.
Brilliant game otherwise guys. £4.99 right now, it's going to go up
in price in about four days apparently.
And it has in app purchases and effectively
you can buy crystals to build yourself up faster and quicker. Hey ho.
Other than that, nice game, not bad. Good fun.
