The Merc with a Mouth gets his own game in this insane comic book adaptation. Gameplay The gameplay style of Deadpool is similar to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a game that was overlooked by many gamers, and the God of War series. You're going to have a far away camera so you can see a large part of the environment while having total control over which direction you can attack. With tons of melee and long range weapons this is the perfect style of game for someone that wants to have a serious gaming experience, while getting a very immature but fun gaming experience. Weapons Deadpool is an expert with any weapon, and you'll have a variety at your disposal. Melee wise, you'll have swords, sais, and sledgehammers. As for guns, expect pistols, machine guns, laser guns, and shotguns. You can swap between all the weapons in real time via the d-pad, and yes, all the weapons come in pairs, even the shotguns. You also have throwable weapons like grenades, mines, and bear traps. Plus you'll come across some oversized weaponry that you can use for a limited time like a giant chaingun. Combat Using light and heavy attacks with the melee weapons is accomplished through two of the face buttons, while the triggers will be used to shoot your guns. Each of the melee weapons has four different types of area-of-effect attacks, and pressing the left bumper with one of the face buttons on the Xbox 360 controller will trigger this attack. One such attack has you spinning around on the floor with your swords like you're a break-dancing tornado. These power moves have a meter associated with them, and will need to be recharged before they can be triggered again. Marvel Appearances There will be many Marvel character appearances, and you'll run into Cable later where you'll immediately motorboat his chest thanks to one of Deadpool's many delusions making him see a large-breasted female saying she's his number-one fan instead. Other characters you can expect include Wolverine, Domino, Lady Deathstrike, Archlight, Blockbuster, Vertigo, and more. They'll even be introduced with a montage of different comic book scenes. Crazy Camera My main concern with Deadpool is the camera. All throughout the game you will have to to babysit the camera via the right analog stick to get the best view of the action. It's not a deal-breaker; it just doesn't follow the action all that well and is something that might frustrate you in the beginning at least. Voice Acting Nolan North has played so many characters in video games that you just get so used to hearing his voice. Doesn't matter if you like him or you hate him; you have to be impressed with his performance as Deadpool throughout the entire game because he offers something new for the gaming audience to enjoy. The sarcastic and crazy personality makes you think you're listening to someone totally different. Overall this game is perfect for any fan of the Marvel universe and if you're looking to play something to increase your gamerscore, basic combat and a cmedic performace that will help you pass the time. Then Deadpool is the game for you. Link Removed
