Surprisingly not bad

Captain America: Super Soldier, is a simple and fun video game tie-in to the latest Marvel movie smash, and for what it's worth, it's a fun enough trip while it lasts. Playing as the Star-Spangled Avenger, you mow down hordes of Hydra agents and other assorted baddies while making your way to take on the Red Skull, and that's pretty much the whole game in a nutshell. There's nothing overly complicated and the gameplay does tend to get fairly boring after a while, but considering the fact that this is a very, very short game, this isn't as bad of a shortcoming as it should be. The graphics are pretty decent, as are the controls and overall feel of the game, which is really quite a pleasant surprise considering how bad Sega's Marvel movie games have been over the past few years. All in all, fan of the comic, movie, or both; Captain America: Super Soldier is worth checking out.

Best movie tie-in game from Sega!!!!!!

Let me say Captain America: Super Soldier is the best Marvel movie tie-in game Sega has ever made, period. This is by far better than previous games like the two Ironman(team behind the Ironman games was disbanded just too let you know) and Thor games. Captain America plays a lot like Batman Arkam Asylum(which is a good thing). The graphics are not bad for the this title (PS3 version has the best graphics). This is not a long game about 7 to 8 hours of gameplay. The soundtrack is very good. It helps add to the atmosphere. Too, bad Sega will not make a part 2. If more time was spent on this title Sega could have hit a homerun!!! If you are a Cap/Marvel fan get this game otherwise I would rent.

Solid Game - 4 Part Movie

I wrote this over on gamefly. It deserves to be here. It's a good game.
This game was overlooked, for the most part, due to some of the lower budget aspects of the game. That broad statement aside, Captain America: Super Soldier, is a solid PS3 title that uses the trusted formula you may have seen in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
You will find yourself climbing, jumping, flipping, dodging, punching, sabotaging, and throwing your shield through 19 chapters of a story that takes place sometime during the events of the film. Combat, story elements, overall mechanics, look & feel are all very similar to Batman: Arkham Asylum. If you enjoyed that game, chances are you'll like this.
There are a few aspects to Rocksteady's formula that are not emulated very well. This tends to give the game somewhat of an overall dull feel and mechanical flow. The story is interesting, but ultimately simple and something we've seen before; evil scientist is trying to recreate the Super Soldier formula to create his own minion, etc... That said, it's enough to keep you interested and coming back pretty easily. Plus, the game is pretty short, which is fun for me since my time is limited. I liken the story and length to a good 4 part movie. With the action, cinematic sequences, and involvement with the movie (it's a bit of a prequel), it's really just a good time.
I enjoy Captain America, so that may sway me just a bit, but this is a fun, albeit short game; perfect for a rental. Pick it up if you wanna feel like Cap over the weekend and don't need the most polished experience to enjoy a game.
Since I wrote the above, I'll also say this. After a few days of returning the game to gamefly, I have found myself writing a review about this game on Amazon, because I am looking up the price to pick up a used copy of it. It's a really fun game. If you are a Cap fan, it's a really, really, good time.
