LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for Xbox 360
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for Xbox 360 brings heroes from different Marvel series together in an original story. Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk and Wolverine face a threat involving the Cosmic Bricks. The struggle takes you through familiar Marvel locations as you fight, collect pieces and use constructions to overcome obstacles. It is not a direct adaptation of one cinema film: the X-Men and other parts of the comic-book universe also have a place in the adventure.
Your figures' powers determine the available solutions. Hulk can handle heavy objects, Iron Man flies and Spider-Man moves using his webs. During missions you switch characters and look for abilities that match the environment. Between story sections, Manhattan is open to explore. You can travel through streets, use vehicles and search for new places from the air. This gives collecting a different scale from a simple series of rooms and corridors.
You play alone or with two players on the same Xbox 360, each using their own controller. As the story progresses, you discover more heroes and possibilities. Later you can revisit an area to reach collectibles that require different powers. The game therefore builds on what you learn about its characters along the way. The original base game is the focus; this used edition does not promise unused download codes or separate expansions. This is not the separate sequel LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.
Region and language
Our Xbox 360 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for Xbox 360 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes appeared in 2013, developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It was the first LEGO adventure to bring the familiar Marvel characters together. The collaboration followed the Marvel construction sets, but the makers chose a new story for the game. Nick Fury could therefore call together heroes from different comics. The cast did not have to be limited to characters appearing together in one film at that time.
The official announcement named Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man, Hulk and Wolverine among others. Loki and Galactus were important threats. In presentations, the team also showed how different powers change the feel of the same city. Flying above New York, swinging on webs and smashing objects as a large figure were different ways to experience that environment. The city therefore served as a connecting space for a cast drawn from many different Marvel stories.
The design followed the larger explorable Gotham of LEGO Batman 2, but gave it a distinct Marvel interpretation. Alongside the story, unlocking and revisiting remained important to progression. Later Marvel games by TT Games took different approaches: Avengers placed more emphasis on the films, and Super Heroes 2 told a new sequel story. This Xbox 360 release is the original first Super Heroes adventure. Manhattan and the combination of varied comic-book powers provide the connection between missions and free exploration here.
