Fantastic 4

Description

This game is a licensee of the 2005 movie “Fantastic 4”. Unlike many licensed titles, this third-person action game in the vein of the Onimusha or Devil May Cry series only takes the base of its plot from the actual movie, then liberally changes it to make for better gameplay.

Generally, the game brings in more content from the comic books than the movie, particularly considering the villains that appear. While the movie pretty much only concerned itself with Victor von Doom aka “Doctor Doom” as its supervillain of choice, the game brings in various characters from the comic books as well – the Mole Man, the Puppet Master, or Diablo, to name a few. …
