A stealth area in a level will pop up occasionally, and players are required to sneak around without being spotted by bad guys or cameras.
Super Soldier does try to mix-up the standard platforming elements by adding a couple different modes. This makes the game much more drawn-out and tedious then it needs to be - as if the developers removed checkpoints to make the game feel longer. The worst part about each level is that if Captain America misses a jump and falls into acid or is killed by enemies - then the player will have to restart from the beginning of the area.

During combat Captain America will also build-up a bar that will unleash one of two attacks, depending on how full the meter is, and can be used to efficiently wipe out all foes that stand in your path. Though, the actual fighting will become redundant - as all players will do is smash 'Y' to punch, 'X' to throw, and 'A' to toss Cap's shield. Fortunately, the combat is half decent, and will keep many entertained for a short while. There are a few points where precision movements are required, but the precision just isn't there. The platforming mechanics are also far from precise, and it's very easy to over or under estimate a jump. Who runs into a multi-million dollar mansion and says, "Let's put a massive engine block right here."? Nobody. This puzzle made complete sense in the factory section of the game, but it also appeared later inside of a mansion. The puzzle in question involves Captain America having to throw his shield at a switch to drop down an engine block, so that he can cross a gap or reach a higher platform. However, there's one puzzle in particular that just makes absolutely no sense when it appears later on in the game. After getting past a few of the first puzzles the game will be a breeze. This can cause some severe confusion but, after a lot of frustration, some players may realize that they can get another glimpse at the hint by hitting the start button.

Details on how to perform a certain move that is required to complete a task will quickly flash on the bottom DS screen, and more often than not the tip will appear as the player is mid-battle on the top screen. The puzzles in each level of Captain America: Super Soldier can be pretty difficult at first, because there is little to no indication of what players should actually do. They even reuse the same computer room at the end of every level! I traversed through the majority of the game, and 90% of it all appeared exactly the same - with the exception of a small handful of areas where Captain America actually goes outside. Additionally, Captain America will continuously run into the exact same puzzles over and over again. During the course of Steve Roger's grand adventure players will run around different levels that all look pretty much the same. The Red Skull is cooking up a plan to take over the world, and Captain America must stop him and his HYDRA goons. The rest of the game's story is pretty linear, and will likely induce a severe case boredom. Captain America faithfuls will appreciate the appearance of known characters such as Baron Van Strucker and Baron Zemo, but their appearances will only please fans of the actual comic. The game's story differs from that of the actual film that the game is based off of, thus Captain America will encounter various villains from the comics that don't appear in the actual flick. Griptonite Games was the studio tasked with creating the DS version of the game, and the result is less than an ideal title.Ĭaptain America: Super Soldier does very few things right, and the few things that are even a little fun get pretty old rather quickly.
