Playing Marvel Nemesis DS, you don’t get the feeling that you’re playing any of the comic characters. It’s more of the sense that you’re playing the same character with slight differences. Each character basically has two “special moves.” One is a glorified throw move, and the other is supposed to be a signature move, but it’s very bland and no fun at all to execute. On top of the limited moves, you run out of your “special move” meter pretty quickly. (Since when does Wolverine run out of energy to use his claws?!) The gameplay is slow except when a move has FINALLY executed, and then the gameplay skips—A LOT—and an unnecessary amount of time is spent waiting for the game to auto save and load. So, friends, this is a fair warning to NOT buy Marvel Nemesis DS. You won’t get the feeling that you’re playing your beloved comic characters, and you won’t get your money’s worth. I’m very disappointed in Marvel for allowing this highly anticipated game to be released AS IS, and I won’t be getting the PSP version now either.
