3 Star ReviewFantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Strengths: Co-op play, super power upgrades
Weaknesses: Repetitive
Summary: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a decent brawler that features the four super heroes and their unique powers. I guess the best part about the game is the co-op play and the ability to partner up to combine the powers of the two heroes into combo moves. After awhile, the combat gets repetitive, but if you can find it cheap enough, it might be fun to play with kids.

2 Star ReviewAnother movie video game . . . gone bad
Strengths: Fairly easy achievements
Weaknesses: repetitive . . . repetitive . . . repetitive . . .
Summary: I really thought that the game might have some potential, but I was wrong. The game graphics were good, but the voices keep repeating the same thing again and again. The levels are the same thing again and again also, just keep using the Thing to break everything and move on, it's gets very repetitive. I can't recommend the game, but I will give it 2 stars because of the achievements.

2 Star ReviewBoring game not worth more than $10
Strengths: Easy to play. Voices are from the film.
Weaknesses: Just about everything else. Boring, repetitive levels, not very interesting gameplay.
Summary: The visuals are pretty lame and lackluster for a 360 title, and while the characters themselves look nice, the environments are pretty bland and uninspired, much like the level design. I was very disappointed as this looks like it was developed originally for the PS2. For the $10 that I paid for it, I will get my money out of it... but for those poor people who paid anything above $30... I fee sorry for them :(.

2 Star ReviewFantastic 4 for XBox 360
Strengths: a cheap Xbox360 game, very much like the movie, co-op up to 4 can play at the same time.
Weaknesses: not xbox 360 graphics standard, confused camera angles, too repeatative
Summary: This game is very much resemblance the movie which is both bad and good: you can use all their abilities, but nothing else extra, creativity, nor adventures ...The graphics doesn't do justice to the Xbox 360 platform. It's another so-so game that you probably will play once, and will not touch it again. It's too boring for a teenager, but difficult for younger kids to play. It's definitely in the rental category (don't buy it).

3 Star ReviewYet another disappointment for comic book/film fans. . .
Strengths: Compelling storyline, complex combat build system, co-op support
Weaknesses: Generic beat-em-up action, lackluster visuals, occasional camera/frame rate issues, limited replay value, short overall length
Summary: Just like the first film, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer suffers from a generic film-to-video game translation, resulting in just another generic beat-em-up. If you've played Marvel Ultimate Alliance or X-men Legends, you've already played a better version of what this game could have been.

You (and up to three friends) will lead the Fantastic Four character of your choice through six short levels in this loose translation of the film. While the story works quite well, the generic combat, dull enemy AI and monotonous environments make playing a chore.

If you're a big Fantastic Four fan or really liked X-men Legends/Marvel Ultimate Alliance, there is some fun to be had here. Just go in understanding that this game does nothing new or interesting in the process. Rent it first if you're unsure, and definitely do no pay full price.

2 Star ReviewNothing like the movie..
Strengths: Co-Op is fun.
Weaknesses: A lot. There just seems to be a lot of things going on.. and it's really annoying at times.
Summary: It looks like it would play similar to the X-Men Legends games or even Marvel Ultimate Alliance. It sorta does, but those games are actually good. This one? Not so much.

It was manageable to beat (I had a friend with me), but it wasn't the best time we'be spent playing games together.

Rent it.

It's a GOOD rental! But it doesn't follow the movie at ALL...
