Deadpool Game Review

Hello, peeps! Slendy here for another update.

For this post, I will be reviewing about the new game I have recently bought, called Deadpool. Yep! It is true. Deadpool has his own video-game now.

Anyway, anything you need to know about Deadpool is briefly mentioned in the video-game, if you guys don't know who he really is. I'm not familiar with Deadpool myself. Even when Ryan Reynolds briefly portrayed him as the character in X-Men: Origins movie, I still didn't know his true character, until I've played this video-game.

Well, it turns out he is a part of some sort of "Project X", the same project which Wolverine gets his "adamantium" bones. And, Deadpool seems to have a healing factor from Wolverine's DNA. Therefore, he cannot die, much like Wolverine.

Regarding the gameplay, I really enjoy Deadpool's humour and gags. It shows he is just not serious into any of the stuff he is about to encounter. What's funny is that he knows that he is in the video-game. As he claimed, he "kidnapped" the crew of High Moon Studios (the developers) and forced them to make a video-game about himself. The scripts are very well written, despite Deadpool's disapproval by tearing them all apart. He even has arguments with voices from his head, which apparently, helps Deadpool to make a bridge from the toxic sewer by using word bubbles. Also, there are cameos from some of the X-Men members. Particularly, Wolverine, Psylocke, Rogue and some other girl in a tight black suit I failed to recognise. Heheh.

The battle system is more or less like the Batman video-game style, which you can make a chain combos using the melee weapons and guns to earn more money. He can evade enemies' attacks by teleport and makes deadly counter-attacks. But, what saddens the most as the game progresses through, it is getting too repetitive, staler and uninteresting. Even the boss battles are a little too easy to beat. Although, you might die if you don't know what you're doing. The camera angle is also the main issue, but it's not that irritating.

Even the upgrading system is a bit uninspiring. Sure, they are very effective when all the weapons are bought and upgraded. But, not all of them are necessary for you to progress to the final scene.

My verdict:
Overall, it is not a bad game. But, it's not entirely good too. The storyline is very good and true to its comic root. The only letdown is the repetitive gameplay, uninteresting levels (although some levels are using an 8-bit format), easy boss battles and uninspiring level-ups. I haven't finished the game yet to be honest. Even if I do, there is no reason for me to replay it. I might let the game go somehow once I've finished it and sell it online.

Rating: 6/10
