Summary: PLEASE!!!
Here's another superhero game that has nice graphics, but game play really sucks! First off, the game is a button masher without any rhyme or reason as to which buttons execute what powers; not smooth and controlled like in X-MEN LEGENDS/MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE/JUSTICE LEAGUE HEROES games. It felt like I was going to break my controller! And it seemed as though the uptake was really slow, you know you press the punch/attack button and there seemed to be a slight delay, so you end up pressing buttons in an absolute frenzy trying to get the characters to respond quicker. Very frustrating!

The other problem is the game's camera, which likes to zoom in on irrelevant things for no reason at all. Also, some areas are really dark and there are small cracks that you can fall through, maybe this is a bug in the game, but not good.

Another thing is that the box claims that you play as a team, but most of the missions you are exploring either by yourself or in pairs and you don't get to choose who you want to be.

If you really want to play a fun game as the Fantastic Four get MARVEL UTLIMATE ALLIANCE.

I understand the sequel to the FANTASTIC FOUR movie will be in theaters soon. If the powers that be were smart, they would've chosen either Ravensoftware or Snowblind studios(makers of X-MEN LEGENDS/MARVEL UTLITMATE ALLIANCE and JUSTICE LEAGUE HEROES respectively) to create the next game. If not, they better insist that Activision follow their lead (ironically, Ravensoftware falls under the Activision umbrella but I think that Activision is the distributor and not the maker of the X-MEN/MARVEL games).

Perhaps this is actually Marvel's responsibility. They should really pay attention to customer reviews and find gaming companies that create fun and enjoyable games, rather than more crap like this. By not doing so, Marvel is really alienating their fan base.

Summary: Not As Fantastic as it could be
First of all i love the fantastic four out of all of the marvel teams they are my second favorite(my first favorite is the x-men). This game with all of its good intentions falls a little flat; the controll is a little medocre sticking, the human tourch is probably the worst to control because he floats and hovers witch makes cotroll difficult.Button mashing has been overused special moves and attacks should be simmalr to Marvel Ultimate Alliance(Quick and Easy). Invisable Woman, Mr. Fantastic, and The Thing were awsome to control. All the extras should be unlockale with special codes,(the cheat coads did not work). The action and the beatem up action was awsome but with all of these problems the game its only worth a rent. hopefully the sequel will be alot better, even Fantastic!

Summary: A Fantastic Game
I loved this game. it was fun and the characters we're awesome. I liked all the cool missions of the game too. True half of the game wasn't from the movie but it was still fun. You got to fight FF Classic Villians, we'll almost. I mean you realy didn't go into battle with Mole-Man Or Puppetmaster. I think the best Villian was Dr. Doom. They should've had more story to him(Oh, Well). Overall it was a cool game. All of the FF Heros had cool combo attacks and super Moves. I enjoyed Playing The Thing & Mr. Fantastic. The Human Torch was kind of hard to fight with, because he was always flying. & The Invisible Woman was not so bad. They did a good job making the characters look like the Actors)Espcially The Invisibale Woman). All of the levels were fun too. The last level with Doctor Doom was pretty hard. But this was such an exceelent game.

Summary: Not too Fantastic at all
Activision's past track record of Marvel Comic to film games has been quite great the past few years (X-Men Legends, Spider-Man 2, etc.) which leads me to wonder what went wrong with Fantastic Four. The movie was, well, lacking to say the least, but there was so much potential with the game that was wasted. Playing as Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, the Thing, and the Human Torch, you play in some nicely designed and somewhat destructable levels that are taken from the movie, as well as some levels and bosses included here for fans of the comic series. However, this is what absolutely kills Fantastic Four; it's a button mashing beat 'em up that doesn't offer anything new and becomes real repetitive real quickly. There are some mini-games available depending on who you play as, but there's not enough of them, and the voice acting during the cut-scenes is surprisingly bad. The graphics are decent enough, and the controls won't really matter because Fantastic Four is a pure button masher plain and simple. Co-op mode is a bit fun, but the ball was really dropped because there could have been some great multiplayer modes that would have spiced things up a bit. All in all, this is worth a look if you're a fan of the FF or for simple and easy beat 'em up's, but for all others this is better left on the shelf, and if you're craving a really good beat 'em up, check out the Warriors.

Summary: -
The graphics seem dated and rushed. The gameplay was laborious and after 30 minutes I simply could not play anymore as it seemed I was wasting my time. I was playing with two player option, but the second player wound up always having to be a robot. The second stage was having each character escape from the hospital and fight off robots and solve puzzles to open doors; I don't rememeber any of that in the movie. I would not recommend.
