In fact, the number and type of enemies, as well as the different mini-boss patterns you have to learn, make for an intense, riveting and challenging game. You can also “snipe” enemies by aiming your shield, so it’s not entirely one-dimensional. For instance, there are various melee combos to unlock, quite a bit of grappling and a smattering of timing-based blocking. The combat in Captain America feels like an evolved Spider-Man, just with different settings and heroic abilities. It’s also much easier than Prince of Persia to determine where to go next, because the next object from which Captain America must swing or that he needs to scale glows to point you in the right direction. There are quite a few platforming sections mixed into the non-gun action, almost like Prince of Persia in terms of its acrobatics, but much more forgiving in terms of timing. This fits perfectly with the superhero vibe, and it’s frankly a refreshing change of pace. What I can tell you, though, is that SEGA’s Captain America: Super Solider videogame based on the film is awesome, comic-book fan or not.Ĭaptain America is a third-person action game devoid of guns for Cap himself, although his foes wield more than their fair share.

Exactly how he was reinvented I couldn’t tell you.

I know what he looked like, shield and all, when I was in my youth, and I know he was reinvented for this summer’s blockbuster Captain America film. Still, I have cursory knowledge of many comic-based characters, even if I don’t know their backstory. I seem to be in the gaming minority when it comes to comic books, because I never got into the whole “graphic novel” scene when I was young, and I don’t read them as an adult.
