Captain America: Super Soldier combines

a highly athletic combat system with fluid

platforming and a highly tuned suite of

shield attacks, as Cap explores a massive

castle turned military installation. His

shield can be employed in numerous

ways: taking out multiple enemies at

once, deflecting incoming fire back at

enemies, solving puzzles, and scaling

walls. Players will be able to launch

shield-first into the fray with the

superior force of the world's first Super-

Soldier at their fingertips and they'll need

every bit of that strength to overcome a

castle that's both an acrobatic playground

for the Captain's physical prowess and a

house of mystery with enemies and danger at

every turn.

Review:

When you think of the supplies a soldier might need in a

war, a gun would probably be the first thing that pops into

your head. But if you're already infused with super serum, such

a pedestrian trinket serves little purpose. In Captain America:

Super Soldier, you rush headlong into battle carrying only your

handy shield, though that's more than enough to get the job

done. Of course, your versatile armament is no ordinary shield.

The individual elements in Super Soldier aren't that

impressive. Punishment-free platforming, a dull story, and
