I’ve tried a few Marvel games over the years, and I’ve seen a good handful of the movies. Never really delved into the comics, but I feel they are well represented in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.
I went into this game thinking maybe it’d be isolated to Avengers characters without much divergence. There are PLENTY of Marvel Heroes in this game though, and you’ll have no trouble finding them. Within the first couple of chapters of the game, I played or interacted with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor, She-Hulk, Wasp, Gwenpool, and more.
Getting Started in LEGO Marvel 2
As I jumped into a smoldering city with Star-Lord and the gang, I had no idea what to expect. The more I played though, I recognized something I experienced in previous LEGO games. There is a lot of flash and bang and oohs and ahs, but you do not have to be a hardcore gamer to figure things out or defeat the enemies. There’s really no penalty system at all actually.
For example, this guy, the celestial. A humongous, nearly indestructible robot, but not necessarily THAT indestructible. If it’s a LEGO game, a challenge is expected but not the fate sealer. Things are pretty casual even during moments like this.
GwenPool Cheat Codes
So, there are different methods and perceptions of how to cheat. I generally don’t do it, but only because it is usually not even an option in most games these days. Gwenpool, a character I just discovered existed, holds residence to a room in the Avenger’s mansion, and she tells you all about cheating using the TV and pink blocks. I was very excited when I saw this, what a great, transparent way to reveal this option. You can find the cheat codes with a quick Google search at a number of sites, and I have also included a list below.
Just enter the cheat code and unlock the corresponding character. Here’s a list:

In addition to altering gameplay this particular way, which is actually more of a nifty character unlocker, there is another way: WALKTHROUGHS! You may be aware that if you look on Youtube for game walkthroughs you can find one for almost every single game. I had to leave one open on another screen nearly the whole time I was playing the game. These LEGO games are not painfully difficult, but they’re not always obvious either. After I watched a video on destroying the celestial and rescuing a bunch of civilians, I got the same amount of satisfaction as I would have figured it out on my own, maybe more.
If you play enough of these LEGO games you’ll start to realize there are some patterns, and everything is cool, just relax! This game is so family-friendly that you’d be surprised at how it manages to have such hilarious dialogue. I think if you like Marvel this would be one of my top suggestions for anybody that takes an interest in the game. It’s all here and it is challenging but not TOO challenging
Final Thoughts
I was a little hesitant about this title. I really wanted the LEGO universe above all, but it’s been so long since I saw a Marvel film. Also, I wasn’t sure if it would just be some overload of superhero content that I didn’t understand. I would suggest watching The Avengers first before playing this, but you don’t have to. If you’re like me, you’ve probably run across enough Marvel superheroes in your lifetime just by their sheer presence in popular media. That’s all you really need.
Final Thoughts
This game is totally solid and it is available on a number of platforms. If you wait long enough it will pretty much always go on sale at some point. Don’t get frustrated with it if you get stuck, there are lots of videos, and if you know a little more about LEGO games, you’ll probably be okay.
