Fancy escaping the humdrum of regular life, in exchange for an outrageous, superhuman fighting challenge?

Good. Here, you can banish the blues by assuming the role of your favourite Marvel super hero and demolishing some truly epic enemies at large in the Secret Invasion.

Twenty different characters are ready and waiting to engage in the Battle For Earth, including Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor, as well as other super heroes and villains from the Marvel Universe.

Motion gameplay adds an extra layer of immersion as you execute super attacks, unleash devastating special moves and battle your friends in a vast array of game modes, while the fusion of traditional controls plus touchscreen interactivity certainly make for an innovative fighter experience.

OK, the move list isn’t the deepest and it may feel a little basic for seasoned scrappers, but it’s an interesting new take on the genre that gamers should get a piece of if they can.
