There is multi-player capability as well, and the developers mix up the levels so that at times you will find yourself flying (or in one case, swimming) through the air and shooting enemies in a setup reminiscent of the Gradius games, rather than fighting it out on foot. The soundtrack, similar to the Gauntlet games, is corny enough to be amusing, except that instead of 'Elf needs food badly' you will instead suffer through 'Avengers, the world needs your help!'
The controls are okay, but the gameplay suffers from a lack of special moves and techniques, making it more difficult to survive the numerous baddies you'll face. You'll have to rely more on using the numerous on-screen items and your long-range attacks. Even with an Emulator's 'Save State' feature, this game will be a challenge, since you get a limited amount of continues to make it all the way through the game. It should also be noted that once forced to use a continue, you must pick a different character than the one you just used.
'Captain America and the Avengers' strives to be faithful to its Marvel Comics inspiration, integrating in numerous ways other superheroes and villains from the well known comic books. The game is essentially a beat-em-up, save-the-world arcade game, but for those who like side-scrolling adventure games, I suppose this one should prove passable.
