I had read that the bases of the heroes are packed in the box a little snugly, and I will warn you that this is indeed true.

You also recieve some custom dice, a nice-sized board of Manhattan, tons of villian, hero, and story cards, and thick cardboard tiles for depicting wounds, trouble markers, and other needed game indicators. They could use a bit more detailing, but that can be left up to the more enterprising painters among us-of which I am most definitely not one. To be honest I was expecting the pre-painted figures to be this good but they are top-notch. The game comes with twenty beautifully detailed figures. Not to the degree where I'll buy a game blindly for nice bits (if that were the case, I'd no doubt have a copy of Sid Meier's Civilization by now), but there is no denying that I prefer my games to have quality bits. It's a well-known fact: I'm a bits whore. Once again, the team has nailed it-though it isn't a perfect game by any means, it is a solid, unique treatment of the superhero game and blends nicely the Ameritrash idea of gameplay with enough Euro elements to bring us a great entry into that growing buzzword of game development-"The Hybrid". The board was obviously abstract and what do you mean this isn't a skirmish-level treatment of battles between my favorite superheroes? What was even more exciting was that it was being developed by the same team that developed the phenomenal War of the Ring, easily one of my favorite games of all time and by far one of the best treatments of the Tolkien saga that has ever seen manufacture.Īdmittedly, I was initially concerned when I first saw the board and read up on development of the title. When I found out about Marvel Heroes, of course I was naturally excited. The battle was all, and that's all there was. Even the old TSR roleplaying treatment of Marvel mostly degenerated into this for us.a typical scenario was, "Doc Ock is downtown, robbing the bank! You heroes start here, and go get him!" The map was plopped down, tokens placed, heroes moved, toward the inevitable battle that awaited.and was, for all intents and purposes, THE entire game. Think about it in Heroclix, you have two sides setting up for battle, and they essentially rush out towards the middle and lock horns. One thing many of them share in common is the "Run downtown to beat up the bad guys!" syndrome. Superheroes have been the recipient of various board game and roleplaying game efforts over the years-some good, many awful, most of them completely forgettable.
