This game is really fun. It's more fun than the first one. I like playing the thing. This game rocks! It is confusing in some parts, but it's is pretty simple.

Movie based video game tie-in's are traditionally not very good, and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is no different. Pretty much following the plot of the film, FF: Rise of the Silver Surfer allows you to play as Marvel's first family in this derivative beat 'em up as you embark on a mission to take down the Silver Surfer, Dr. Doom, and save the planet. If you played the first game based on the first film, or any other licensed beat 'em up for that matter, you already know what to expect here. The graphics are really bland, and the game itself is easy to quickly breeze through as well. Besides taking down hordes of enemies, you'll have mission objectives like unlocking doors and the like; all of which becomes boring very, very quickly, and the beat 'em up action itself isn't done all that well either. You can switch between the FF, but there aren't many overall differences between the team members besides their main abilities. Not to mention, and here's what really bothered me, for a game that's supposed to follow the story of the movie it's based on, just where is Galactus? Considering the role the planet eating monster played in the film (as well as the comic that inspired all of this in the first place) his absence is inexcusable. All in all, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is nowhere near as good or as fun as Activision's X-Men Legends or Marvel Ultimate Alliance series of games, both of which you are much better off with than this derivative cash-in.

Both PS2 and Wii versions support four players, which obviously makes sense with the Fantastic FOUR. You can join in at any time which is nice. Really fun to play with other people - kind of like a more action-oriented version of XMen Legends or Marvel Ultimate Alliance. A good, fun action game - not too deep, but definitely a good time.
