PS3, Xbox 360, Sega, cert: 16, out now
With Captain America: First Avenger due in cinemas this month it's no surprise to see a tie-in hitting the shelves. Sadly, Super Soldier follows the template of many a tie-in – it looks pretty, but lacks content to back it up.
A third-person adventure, you control the eponymous (or not) captain, modelled well on Chris Evans, as he goes about whupping Nazi ass in 1940s Germany – in a story spun off from the film. Some of the jumping set-pieces are superb – but the bulk of the game lies in timing a variety of combos to smash the villainous Hun, using fists, boots and the captain's Stars and Stripes shield. It's fun for a time, but the action fast becomes samey and the lack of variety makes for a disappointing experience, highly unlikely to tempt those with hostility towards this jingoist brand into parting with their money.
