best open world super hero game on ps3/360

[jonnyutah]

man i can onl take so many fps!! after a while you begin to question if your 360/ps3 is a pc or a console LOL!?!

Lately i've been i the mood for a good sandbox/open world super hero game. so i began looking and i stumbled upon web of shadows. it really caught my eye with originality and style. it appears to have characters form the marvel universe which i think is cool. i was so shocked to see wolverine in the game and even more so when i saw a venom/wolverine hybrid!!! :O! it seems to have the kind of originality that a japanese deveoper could inject into the series. another thing that peaked my interest in this game is the the swinging. it looks so fun. reminds me of the spidey movies.

dose this game have a fun, large open world city to explore? is there day/night cycles?
Are there many side quests involved? destructable enviroments etc.?

Do you guys think this is the best comic book game available next to batman AA? is there any other good western(non movie) comic/superhero based games?

only ones that come to mind are spiderman: web of shadows and Batman AA,

Web of Shadow's isn't even in the top 10 superhero video games, let alone the top 5 Spider-Man games.


is there any other good western(non movie) comic/superhero based games?

Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was released last gen for Xbox, PS2 and GC and should be backwards compatible for all three current gen systems. It's probably the most pure fun you can have in an open-world superhero game and the gameplay suits the character perfectly. The City of Heroes/City of Villians pc games are also suppose to be lots of fun but I've never had the chance to play them.

I really liked web of shadows. Not in the top 5 well name your top 5 spiderman games.

crackdown. no licensed characters, but who needs em when you're a cop who can throw a semi?

I'd say Crackdown or Infamous. One's 360 exclusive, the other is PS3 exclusive, both are good.

With Infamous, you can download the demo on the PSN and have access to one of the islands. The demo is huge if you want to also play through each mission it has to offer, although everything is unlocked from the start.

I came here to say this.

Infamous is a great choice for these types of games. It took me about 30 hours of playing on and off to finish the story mode, and the there's lots of side missions to. Although they do get repetitive after a while, nonetheless a stellar game.

You can add Prototype to the list of non licenced well recieved superhero games as well. Its available for PS3/XBOX360 and PC.

i say crackdown. i didnt like infamouse.

I liked web of shadows for a little bit, I rented it and 4 days was all I needed with it. Pretty good game but gets boring quickly. Broken combat and doing the same mission over and over gets boring.

appreciate the feedback :)

infamous looks cool. but I guess i'm jsut really in the mood for a good spiderman game. it really looks impressive. slose to unreal engine 3 quality but i guess it uses the current tony hawk engine since it's by the same guys.

there is also "The Darkness" which is comic based, but man that is hardcore dark and gritty! but it has the best style of a hero but the main character is more villian than anthing. it's a lot like Overlord in ways. but but you play as a demon possesed mafia hitman LOL. not exactly your typical hero.

I've heard the darkness is non liner. is the game world open? it's only about $10 for a copy but i don't know if i can deal with the violenceLOL well at least your taking out mafia and not inocent citezens.

none of this matters. what you SHOULD be doing is getting crackdown. like, now. at 4:30 am. go.





i said go!

Well. What about that one game. Watchmen the End is Night. The ultimate edition comes with both parts and the PS3 version of the ultimate edition also comes with a bluray of the movie.

Never played it but it looks pretty good if you want a beat em up. Guarantee that it's no God Hand, though.

if youre not a fan of watchmen, dont bother, its pretty generic. if you are a fan, then you'll like it. it plays like B:AA and controls pretty well. graphics are nice and polished so if you like beat em ups its good.

however, this recommendation doesnt even belong in this thread since its not open world. at all.
