Jeff's reaction to the guy getting punched in the spine at 21:30 is both hilarious and relatable.

Kessler was awesome in this. Infinitely better than Klepek's ever been.
 
Keep on keepin' on, Matt.

With all the crap Captain America is picking up his house must look like an episode of Hoarders.

Its nice to watch a quicklook where the original Giantbomb member isn't just giving shit to the intern the whole video. Not that I didn't respect him in the first place, but I respect Jeff more now. He actually cared about seeing the game than trying to get laughs out of insults. 
Also, I think Kessler should be himself. Hes not annoying to me, but the feeling I get is he tries to be like Ryan and Jeff in the way he talks and he also seems crazy nervous (understandeable). He should just talk normal and lay back a bit.

As mediocre/maybe good as that game may be, the movie sure was pretty awesome.

Oh for fuck's sake, again with this Kessler guy? Someone here echoed the sentiment that he tries to be like Jeff and Ryan, Ad nauseam, and the quick looks are terrible as a result. Does anyone remember the two RPGs they let him do a while back? I couldn't even get through a minute of that stuff.

Superb quick-look for a game that looks a bit buggy but kinda fun. I think they need more lighting effects though: the whole thing looks a bit bland. Maybe just a couple more notches on the "Colour Contrast" dial? 
 
Also: Kessler's death at the end: really? Really? You're worse than Brad at video games.

Wolverine had violence going for it.
Batman was a stellar game.
 
This looks like every other trash movie game.

You know, I know a lot of people have said the opposite but...
 
That suit looks dumb.
 
The shield looks nice though.  You know, the reflections and all that.

I quite enjoy Kessler and Jeff's banter. They are a good duo.

Heh, I recently got this game used for PS3 and played through it and thought it'd be fun to comment on this old quick look. It's a perfectly acceptable game and I enjoyed it as someone who really loved the Batman Arkham games. The combat here is definitely watered-down compared to those games, but overall it was a fun romp. Chris Evans hadn't really come into his own as Captain America yet. There are also a few enemy characters who are not part of the MCU canon anymore thanks to different versions of them showing up in later movies and shows.

Anyway, if you can find it used for a reasonable price, it's probably worth a playthrough. I bought it for around $18, which is a little cheaper than I see it offered for online.

I misread 2011 for 2021, and wondered how the Hell they got Matt Kessler back on the site.
