Written by: ShaeThe Merc with the mouth is now the Merc with a Game. That's right, Wade Wilson, Deadpool, has his own video game. While that thought should be utterly terrifying it is utterly amusing. The game was announced earlier last year and many had the opportunity to put the game on hold until it's release earlier this year. Which was exactly what my bestie/roomie did. I, however, bought the game a few weeks after it came out. Because, really, a Deadpool game? Come on! How can a home grown X-men nerd say no to that!? The gameplay is simple. The starting tutorial is fun, entertaining and has all the aspects of a Deadpool comic…only in the form of a totally awesome video game. The voice acting is spot on; illustrating the many voices of the crazed crusader. With simple controls (that albeit take some getting used to after playing countless hours of Assassin's Creed) enable you not only to run, jump, and be awesome. but to switch rapidly between weapons. In the midst of slicing someone with your kitanas and decide to shoot them? Done within a second! Wanna throw a grenade? Okay! Just a tap of a button! Killing a bunch of random henchmen, earning points, upgrading weapons, making lewd but amusing commentary is all a part of the experience. With a few guest appearances by none other, the Wolverine. Sadly, there is a downside to this overwhelming awesomeness of pure epic gloriousness. A solid storyline, good gameplay with options of difficulty (because some of us are terrible at aiming). This game has it all….but sadly, it ends before you're ready for it to. That's right, before you know it the game is over and you have won it. What's to be done? Sit and mope while re-reading old issues of Deadpool? Eat an entire box of cookies? Don't be silly! There's two other difficulty settings to play though….and believe me, beginner is hard enough.

I'm surprised you liked this game so much. Yes, Deadpool is funny, but that's the only good thing about the game. The graphics are sub par. The camera work is terrible. The gameplay is boring after the first hour. I thought it was a terrible game that only the most die hard of Deadpool fans should rent at best. But hey, that's just me.
