yah why would you guys choose probably the two people least interested in anything about this game?  And why wouldn't you use someone that saw the movie at least...someone that knew SOMETHING about Thor.

raiden for white people? joke..funny..but c'mon now.

so this looks like God of War with Marvel Thor skins..only not as smooth.

Thor's one of if not my favorite comic character...but I'll wait for a rent or a bargain bin on this one.

It looks ALRIGHT, nothing amazing, defiantly looks better than the iron man games.. Hopefully the captain america will pull a spider-man on us and deliver something awesome.

It's funny that no one (not even the Scandinavian Duders) has mentioned the 'Edda' yet, the texts that lucubrate about the Norse Mythology. What the 'Ilias' of Homer is for the Greek, is Edda for the Icelandic/Northern European regions.

1. While it has a comic book license, its not really the comic book fans that buy these games in droves, but average Joes.
2. The game is being released ahead of the movie, so its fair game to go in blindly.
3. Maybe the Comic Vine folks weren't available or not interested enough, who knows.
4. Oh look, you said it yourself: You love Thor but you won't be picking this game up anytime soon. That about sums all your complaints up.

This is correct. At least that is what Stan Lee said on a Simpsons commentary track.

as soon as i saw SEGA the red flag went up. its  guaranteed to be a big pile of ass. dont beleive me? see Iron-Man, Iron-Man 2, The Incredible Hulk as soon to be Captain America. thanks SEGA for being a butt-hole and getting the worst companies to make these games and ruin some pretty cool properties which should translate into good games.

"I was just about to ask what your knowledge level was."

"He's got a hammer."

"What's your interest level?"

"He's got a hammer..."

"Okay, on a scale of one to 'he's got a hammer'..."

"...closer to one..."

"Alright. Fair enough."

Pretty great exchange.

It looks better than the Iron Man games, I'll give it that much.

Those were two of the worst games I've ever played.

It certainly doesn't look *good*, but if I were forced to play it for some reason, I wouldn't exactly claw my eyes out. I've definitely played worse Marvel games.

So, in this game you press Y for massive damage?

Sounds awesome!

And you don't put anything on a watermelon! Or maybe you do, but then you're doing it wrong.
Atleast if my way is the right way, which it has to be, right?

what a shocker right? also could'nt they possibly think of a different thing other yet another effin god of war wanna be?

seriously why do they even bother on doing this shit? and I'm sure the movie will be even worse, it sure won't be worth the movies ticket price, hell I'm not even sure it'll be worth the time to torrent it....

Dude, come on -- I was asking about his godly status in the Marvel universe, not in a broad mythological context. (How did the Superman comparison not make that clear to you? Negative points in my book.)
