Review #521: Marvel Nemesis - Rise of the Imperfects(DS)

 Ya don't get any more imperfect than this.

EA's original characters have no place in the cover.

 Garbage. This game is garbage. This is a 1 on 1 arena-based fighting game that manages to get everything wrong. There's not a single good thing to find in here.

 The story is about this one guy collecting super heroes to create evil clones and evil counterparts. There're three modes: VS Player(Please don't subject anyone to this trash), VS CPU and Arcade Mode. Arcade Mode has a few character cut-outs between fights that try to tell a story and fail miserably. VS CPU instead forces you to play against the ugliest green recolors of every character, which sucks since you can unlock alternate classic costumes for the heroes. The cast of characters is alright, you get a few Marvel classics and a few original characters that... are pretty darn ugly. And they get ugly green recolors too!

The green recolors are uglier than Pokemon's green shinies.

 The game fails on every single level, but let's start with the controls. Moving your character around is very unwieldy, which is why you can press L to toggle auto lock-on... which is not a solution at all since the tracking sucks and this won't guarantee you landing your attacks. Speaking of attacks, even the basic B button combo moves your character all over the place, so good luck landing hits, melee or projectile. And you've a measly four attacks: B, B+R, A and A+R. That's it. And landing attacks is nigh impossible, although it's very easy to stun-lock your opponent with simple B button combos. And if you want to fly around or crawl on walls... you have to use the touchscreen. What the hell? Regardless, poorly implemented controls and poor gameplay.

 But what's even better? Quality Control is nowhere to be found. Graphical glitches abound, collision detection is terrible, you will land, and receive, attacks that shouldn't have hit all the time. One time I went directly through the floor to a black abyss simple because I got hit. Nobody playtested this thing, and this shouldn't have come out in this state. Heck, even if it didn't have any glitches, it shouldn't had come out period, because it's got a terrible foundation.

Not even Wolvie can make this piece of trash entertaining.

 There's absolutely no fun to be had playing this game, it doesn't even fall under the so bad it's good label. Just avoid it.
 1.0 out of 10
