You must time your punches, parries, and dodges accordingly in order to defeat them. These mini-bosses and bosses actually encompass a good mixture of unique combat requirements and precision. Don't get your hopes up for a fight against Red Skull, because it doesn't happen in this game. It is capped off with boss fights against Captain America's famous antagonists, Madame Hydra (Viper) and Iron Cross. As you comb the castle in attempt to complete missions, you will face a countless number of Hydra's goons and some pretty unique science experiments, which seem a little like mini-bosses along the way. However, it's still fun and definitely the highlight of the game.įighting Nazis is always fun, and Captain America: Super Soldier definitely has an abundance of them.
Although, after about two hours of gameplay, you've seen every move and your tired of the camera slowing down after each hit. The assisted combat system, similar to that found in Batman: Arkham Asylum, allows you to see the Captain perform some pretty intricate moves on his enemies, from shield bashing to spin kicking. The game (which runs about six to eight hours) is filled with action, and the combat is actually where this game shines. As you level up, you will gain additional abilities (9 maximum), but these hardly effect the moves Cap will perform. Collecting these items and defeating enemies earns you experience. Other than that, it feels like these were thrown in just to give you something else to do in between bashing the skulls of Nazis. Some of these items do reveal additional background story, like Armin Zola's diaries and film reels documenting the history. Of course, these super secret documents are hidden quite well, like right on top of a table or in the middle of the alley pathway. The game throws in a ridiculous amount of collectibles that you can find scattered throughout the castle, from ceramic pottery to important Nazi documents. Occasionally, you'll rescue members of the Howling Commandos, but they are hardly memorable interactions. Instead, you'll run around destroying countless antennas, anti-aircraft guns, and tanks.

Remember the cool scenes from the movie trailer? Captain America busting down doors, guns and shield ablaze? Or riding a motorcycle into a group of Nazis, with explosions all around? Yeah, you won't do any of that in this game. Though designed to make you feel as though you were in a labyrinth, you won't have any trouble navigating your way through the multiple wings and levels that exist, as the linear pathways and corridors pretty much guide you which way to go every step of the way. Instead, you will play through a restricted single-player campaign focused solely on exploring and fighting your way through Armin Zola's castle, located high in the Bavarian mountains. This is another cookie-cutter game that follows the structure of hundreds of games released before it.ĭon't expect to re-live scenes from the upcoming movie.
Unfortunately, what you'll be met with is another generic movie-tie-in filled with repetitive gameplay and a linear structure. For those of you expecting an open-world, superhero adventure recreating a full-on cinematic experience, Captain America: Super Soldier is sure to disappoint.
