im laughing at the comparisons to Batman AA with Captain America. it's not anything like Batman AA or AC. maybe some of the combat has been inspired by it, but that's it.

it doesnt have the production values, the crazy (and original, meaning it didnt just follow the design of the movies or any of the comics) story filled with tons of great villains, the combat/exploration options, the great voicework, etc.

it's a better than average hero game, but that isnt saying much as most hero games are mediocre/bad compared to AAA titles. if you want to kill time and get an easy plat, id say go for it, but lets not just throw out batman comparisons.

I recommend FEAR 3 for local co-op.

so from all the comments captain america is a decent game for $10?

Yes

Has Max Payne 3 gotten to 10 bucks before? Or is that just future speculation/hope?

The combat is DIRECTLY inspired by AA. Every review constantly cites it, just because it's not the same production values doesn't mean you can't see that Sega didn't see AA and knew what to take. Everything about the combat down to control scheme and the "counter buzzer" around an enemies is all directly lifted from AA. Same with the poor man's puzzles you had to link up with both analogs to find a code to open a door.

damn, i want get F3 but i'll wait.

Some less even, but sadly I missed all of them.

Really? I only remember KMart having it for $9.

I think the staple price was more like $15 but I could be wrong.

I Know for sure Microsoft Store's website $10 bonanza sale had it for $10. If I remember right, I think Amazon had it as a Lightning Deal first before just settling on make it cheap throughout the weekend. Though I maybe wrong on the Amazon one, but I know a few retailers had it on the cheap.

MP3 is an awesome game.

If Remedy was still the dev for Max Payne, I would've spent $60 at launch to get it. Since they aren't, my buy point is $10. I'm one of the few people on the planet that tends to dislike most of Rockstar's games. Having said that, had to fight the urge to not go $3 more and get it now. I'm confident that in the months down the road when I'm ready to play it, there will be $10 new offers (again). Love the franchise, but heartbroken when it was announced Remedy was handing it off.

Didn't know Captain America was supposed to be decent. Might have to start keeping an eye open for that.

Captain america is worth 10 played it a few months ago and loved it. If you like captain america and action games you should enjoy it. The combat and exploration is decent.

I rented Captain America a while back and admit, it was a lot better than I thought it would be. Certainly a lot better than Sega's godawful Iron Man games.
Arkham-style combat, didn't look that bad, and was a respectable length. Easy to 1000/1000 too.

I don't know if I agree with cjenvy about it being the most underrated comic game, because I still think Xmen Origins: Wolverine holds that title. But this is definitely in second place.

Spider-man: Web of Shadows, Wolverine then Captain America for me.

Is Cap. America better, equal to or worse than Spiderman:WOS? Spiderman WoS is one of my favorite underrated games of this generation.

Mine too, I don't understand how it got such low scores. Like I said earlier, it's more similar to Arkham Asylum just in overall gameplay. So all it really is going to be is going to point B then point C etc. with boss fights and some quick time events platforming sections thrown in. It's nothing like Web of Shadows with the more open combat and the multiple endings, so I can't really compare it in anyway to WoS. Just if you want a 10-15 hour action game that never gets really frustrating and is an easy 100% then it's hard for me not to recommend Cap, especially at that price.

Oh and without nailing the cheezmints I'd say the game is 10-12 hours if people aren't interested in those. It's reasonably paced.
