While the graphics are okay, they're not nearly what they should be. You can unlock concept art, but it's not cool enough to make spending the extra game time worth it. The Zemo Challenges, which can be found throughout the game, are redundant and aren't actually challenging. Unfortunately, the additional modes offered do little to make up for the main game's shortcomings. Given that Cap's shield is arguably his most defining weapon, it's unacceptable that this part of Super Soldier doesn't work. It randomly refused to let me target certain enemies, making for an extremely frustrating gaming experience, and ultimately making me give up on the mode altogether. From what I played, this mode is pretty much broken. Holding down the C button initiates Focus Mode, allowing you to target foes to throw your shield at. You can use your shield to stun enemies or tap Z to counter, but the majority of your time will be spent executing the same melee moves over and over again.

This is too bad, since layering different attacks for cool combos would have helped make the gameplay more engaging. Fighting creates combos automatically, with no input from the player. I basically spent the entire adventure spamming the attack button. Even the slight RPG elements, which amount to earning experience stars for new Cap skills, are a bit too shallow to add much to the experience. I'm all for simple beat 'em up games, but here the simplicity feels less like an artistic choice and more like a cop-out.

This might sound cool, but the gameplay itself is just not interesting. Very loosely following the events of the forthcoming movie, Super Soldier follows the Marvel hero's quest to foil HYDRA's evil plans and go head-to-head with their leader, the Red Skull. Don't get me wrong, Super Soldier, developed by High Voltage Software, isn't a terrible game - it's just so mediocre it almost hurts to play.
