Perfect for small children.
I am an avid gamer and now that I am a dad I would love for my son to start trying to play games as well. I bought him a DS and marvel super heroes and at the age of 2 and a half my son wont put the DS down. The storyline plays like a side scrolling mario based game. My son is not old enough to complete the full story without a little help, but that is where the battle mode comes in.

Battle mode is basically a smash brothers fighting style. You select what character you want to be (my son chooses Hulk) and then choose and opponent and you can just hit your attack buttons until your the last man standing. All in all my son is pleased and I can wash dishes or fold laundry and have him sit on a couch and laugh it up. He makes me giggle when he screams " I Died" lol.

The graphics are a little choppy, but as a child, I dont think my son minds to much.

Even though I'm 26 I'm a huge Marvel fangirl and love the Super Hero Squad cartoon. I purchased this game along with my DS and couldn't wait to play it.

It's rated E for Everyone 10+ but I think even the younger kids would find this a boring and unchallenging game. It's very repetitive and at times seems a bit glitchy.

All told I had the game done in an hour or so and then there's really nothing left to do with it. It has no replay value. For the price it's just not worth it.
