1.0 out of 5 stars Very buggy; monotonous, October 10, 2005

By	Sidewinder "koalani" (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I was very disappointed. EA has a lot of nerve charging the same price for the PSP version that they charge for console versions, considering how much is left out. There are no objectives in the PSP version other than to beat your opponent; this means there is no story worth mentioning. The controls are buggy and nothing more than a hindrance (the button for manual face only works part of the time; auto face function hardly ever works at all). This leads to a lot of frustration.

If you register it with EA they'll send you a cheat code; unfortunaterly there is nowhere to enter it; it would seem that the cheat functions were not included in the PSP version.

If you're buying this to play your favorite hero, pack a lunch; you don't get to choose. You must unlock each character by progressing. Even then you don't get any choice on who you unlock. You have to play the Imperfects whether or not you wanted to (and I didn't want to; I bought this for the Marvel characters, not the Imperfects).

EA should have done more to make certain that this game was worth the playing experience. My advice to them is to remember that their customers want to ENJOY themselves, not jump through their hoops. In the end it's not really difficult, just monotonous; like doing a chore. I'm sorry I spent $50 on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greta game, February 21, 2008

By	Deimos "Rock Fan" (Alberta) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I like the PSP version better than console becasue even though the storyline is left out it's only annoying anyhow and the PSP has more heroes and villens to select from. I would rather more characters and levels than a storyline that consists of runnning around and beating up robots intill you fight a villan/hero. The only flaw is only being able to select 2 characters at the start, but again lots more to unlock.

PSP version is better.

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

marvel nemesis has gotten a lot of bad reviews which it really doesnt deserve. the audience just wanted a marvel soulcalibur and what they got was a marvel powerstone. but powerstone was great game too. so i dont see a problem. but the psp version of marvel nemesis was different it was a one on one action game that centered more on using special abilities and powers than just standard attacks. this game is pretty good, its not great but it is worth a shot. i give it a C+
