Sound and Music, Special features Gang members audio when fighting Music in cars Voice over during game to give direction Special features  Co-op online play  Download new content such as players

Fun about game Open environment to explore and discover on own Go do missions, roam, collect attributes not confined to do one thing Building attributes to make a more efficient player: Jumping higher, shooting more accurate and powerful

Not fun A fan of realistic environments like rainbow six, this has more of comic book look. Excessive amounts gang members

Similar to others Created by same company that made Grand Theft Auto, game play was very similar. Taking cars, free roaming city, shooting I liked this better, building attributes to make more of a super hero then an actual person. Also better for the co-op play

Age group and design mistakes Violence, blood, Strong language, mild sexual theme Intended for older ages 17+ Design Mistakes Auto lock on is a nice feature but can get annoying when locks on to wrong target Camera angles can sometimes get mixed up

Summary Overall game was a lot of fun.  Trying to improve players attributes  Defeating bosses  Lots to do  Worth purchasing Fans of the GTA series would enjoy this super hero version

Summary Improvements  Combat multiplayer
