"Marvel's The Avengers: Battle For Earth" Confirmed For Wii U, Xbox 360 Kinect

**CBR News** · 05-10-2012, 10:32 AM

Ubisoft has confirmed development of "Avengers: Battle for Earth," though the motion-control based game will be based on the comics' "Secret Invasion" storyline rather than the hit movie's continuity.

They've chosen the worst possible storyline.

Finally a Marvel Avengers game just for the Avengers movie, although I have to say the plotline does seem a bit similar to a game I heard of before, but what was it ?

Are you implying that basing a video game around World War Hulk, House of M or Fear Itself would have been better?! Daft.

I only have a PS3 and am actually glad I won't be able to accidentally purchase this one. Good video games typically have a longer development time than 4 or 5 months. This sounds like a cash grab.

I'm still dubious about any game based on a movie not named Goldeneye, but if Ubisoft is willing to put time and effort into this game I'm willing to give it a chance. But that'll be pretty tricky since I don't have an X-box 360 or a Wii-U. There are better storylines they could have chosen besides Secret Invasion, but there are worse. So I'm okay with the premise. It's the gameplay that usually makes these movie-based games so insufferable.

I have to imagine the platform it's on is highly unlikely to prevent you from accidentally purchasing it. If one were absent-minded enough to outright buy the wrong video game, I can't assume the platform they bought the wrong video game for would come up.

And I have to imagine that English is not your first language. Your post is inscrutable.

Agreed. Plus while I don't hate motion controls I'm leery of any motion control licence game. *cough*Star Wars Kinect*cought*

Oh god, it's ONLY coming out for kinect on 360?
Enjoy your bad game with gimicky controls!

**KurtW95** · 05-11-2012, 02:17 AM

I don't have kinect.

**FriendRoss** · 05-11-2012, 12:30 PM

I can handle a bad game about something i really like

but as mentioned above the newest star wars game has proven

bad game + bad kinect controls trumps how much i may like the games motivation

ill still buy the god damn thing though probably
