Activision has provided me with the latest console game review and this one gets my inner geek going, being a big comic book fan and that this is a title based on my favorite comic book character. Deadpool is the title at hand and my copy is for play on the Playstation 3. Being that it is a comic book title I was rather skeptical that it would be a letdown as a lot of comic book titles are disappointing. Luckily, High Moon was up to the task and for those unfamiliar with their works, they are the artists behind the entertaining Transformer games for the current gen consoles. Deadpool is a third person action game packed with weapons and cameos.
Admittedly I was apprehensive about this release as a number of comic licensed titles start off with a bang once announced but fizzled by the time release comes around. There are few exceptions to the rule, mine being X-Men Legends and the Batman Arkham Titles, and after playing through Deadpool, it was a fun, bloody, good time. It has a quick playthrough, shy of 10 hours but well written and provides enough character development to keep me from getting bored throughout the story. While most of the humor is of course crude bathroom humor, so thankfully it was Rated M, because a title based on the loudmouth merc rated any less than Mature would would not a game about Deadpool.
