Superheroes so rarely feel right in modern videogames. The spandex-clad stars of my favourite comics don't grind for endgame loot, they don't waste their time on pointless sidequests, and they don't fight the same grey robots over and over.
Heading into my first hands-on with Marvel Cosmic Invasion, I knew it'd be a good 2D beat-'em-up—developer Tribute Games Inc proved its chops with excellent throwback Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, and I expected to be satisfied with basically the same again with a Marvel skin over the top. What I didn't expect is how properly super it would feel.
