Something about the liberties taken with Rainbow Road doesn't sit right with me.  The other three tracks seemed about on par with their older courses but this new/old rainbow Road was so different in many spots I almost didn't recognize it.

A HUGE part of the problem with this review is that it doesn't take into account how good the different marvel superheroes are.  It's simplified, but this is the game the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games should have been.  It feels like playing a little Iron Man, or Spider-Man or Hulk and you actually feel like you have these powers.  It could still be better, but I don't believe a 5.5 is accurate.

My memory of the game was skewed.  I loved the artwork but I remember my roommate hating it with a burning passion (these days he loves it...)  I could only play it in short bursts between classes.  I didn't particularly like how few dungeons there were, and I still dislike the fact they haven't added any extra in this HD remake.  The biggest thing that really struck me was that final scene where, up until then everything came off as a charming cartoon, suddenly became the most outwardly violent Zelda with that final battle/conclusion with Gannon.  And then watching what was left of Hyrule be swallowed back up by the ocean.
