  9.1

  Therefore, an outstanding action game, full of RPG-ish and tactics, with a remarkable storyline and adorable kickass characters. As additional features, the absolute lack of in-app purchases, it can be played offline and additional game modes to keep the fun once you beat the campaign.

  If you aren't a fan of the characters but you enjoyed Battleheart, you'll probably want to look into this game, too. It's not quite as good, but it's more than good enough, and with that series moving in a different direction of late, those who are looking for a new game in that style will likely enjoy the antics of Star-Lord and friends.

  If you're excited about the movie and think dropping a few pounds is worth it to keep that fury at a fever pitch… then it probably makes more sense to just hold off and use the cash to see the film twice. The usual 'if you're a fan' nonsense obviously applies, but there are far better ways to live up to that idea than play this. Acceptable, but forgettable.

  Even if you haven’t been caught up in Guardians-mania yet, it’s a game with a heavily armed raccoon and a talking (sort of) tree, it’s easy to get into and has a cool story written by the guy who is basically the godfather of the game’s protagonists. As the movie posters say, “You’re welcome.”

  Still, there’s a fair chunk of content to play through and unlock here, provided you can stomach the grind. I hesitate to drag out the old chestnut “fans of the genre/property” but Guardians/Cosmic Marvel fans will probably enjoy the hell out of this to a much greater degree than someone who had never heard of Rocket Raccoon prior to seeing trailers for the movie. However, there’s plenty of good, simple fun on offer in Guardians of the Galaxy: The Universal Weapon, regardless of one’s specific level of fanboy-ism.

  If you're a fan of the comics there's more here to like, and if you're looking forward to the film the game might be worth a punt. But Guardians of the Galaxy: The Universal Weapon is just too muddled to properly click. A strange game that doesn't quite fit its own shell, Guardians of the Galaxy: The Universal Weapon is fun, but not really enough fun.
