The combat based side challenges are compelling and they, at least, extend the life of the game by unlocking the competitive beast that lies in all of us – we like to beat out own high scores/fastest times! Your endurance unfolds a classic World War II plot with a few surprising guest appearances, but perseverance is key. The final boss is Captain America: Super Soldier‘s saving grace. Without giving too much away, High Voltage Software makes you wait until the very end before it delivers something worth cranking up the 3D slider for.

About
Wielding Captain America's legendary shield, gamers will engage in free-flowing combat and acrobatic platforming to infiltrate Hydra's mysterious castle and battle the infamous Iron Cross, the forces of Hydra, and a host of nefarious enemies serving the Red Skull. As the First Avenger himself, players must defeat the evil scientist Arnim Zola and his wartime experiments, combining powerful melee combos and shield attacks to devastating effect.

Critic reviews
- 5.0Marvel fanboys should approach with caution and everyone else should probably save their money for the sizeable list of quality games on the way to the handheld later this year. Aside from satisfactory brawling and shield-throwing, Captain America: Super Soldier on 3DS fails to deliver. It's like Steve Rogers before the super serum - slow, average and totally uninteresting.
- 5.0Captain America: Super Soldier for 3DS has a fair amount going for it. However, for everything it does well, Super Soldier stumbles somewhere else, its most heinous crimes being iffy production values that go so far as to be detrimental to gameplay and a camera that's more maniacally evil than Red Skull himself
- 6.0The combat in Captain America is actually fun but there's no substance to the story and no challenge for the rest of the gameplay. Get it if you're a Captain America fan of if you just can't wait for Batman: Arkham City. Otherwise, this is a rental.
- 5.0With more overall polish and a lot more game Super Soldier might have been a good Arkham Asylum imitation, but as it stands Captain America: Super Soldier is a long way from breaking the trend of underachieving games accompanying a movie release
- a menacing line-up of familiar foes--like Hydra goons, Baron Zemo, Arnim Zola, and the Red Skull--help inject the action with plenty of personality and authenticity. Still, a number of fun-halting flaws ultimately make for an experience that's far less polished than the protagonist's shiny shield
