Simple fun Action RPG. That's what makes it stand out.

It plays close to the Marvel characters. Meaning Spider-man cracks wise all the time (usually taking shots at Wolverine). Deadpool will say random stupidness. I'm biased though, I hate Deadpool. Captain America walks around with a stick up his arse. Thor talks like he's in Shaekspear play.

Humor can be mostly found if you have Deadpool as an active character. His usual wisecracks and fourth-wall-breaking from the comics translates well in the game. Like I said, the best quotes in the game come from his solo mission, where Dark Spider-Man prefers to have a casual chat with Deadpool about online dating sites than fight him.

Arcade: Hello, Deadpool. Ready for a fun filled day in Murderworld?
Deadpool: Yup. I've got my sunscreen on and I've taken my motion sickness pills so bring on the rides.
Arcade: Oh, I don't think you understand. You're going to die here.
Deadpool: I know. Carnivals always slay me.
Arcade: No. You are going to physically die... as in stop breathing. You will cease to exist.
Deadpool: Riiiiight... so do you have bumper cars here?
Arcade: Arrrgh!

Deadpool: Hey, did I enter the side show tent? Cause you look like the dog faced boy.
Dark Spider-Man: Oh, you are a wit, Deadpool... or at least half of one. Tell me, do the chicks go for your insane babble?
Deadpool: About as much as they go for your attempts at self deprecating humor.
Dark Spider-Man: So then it doesn't work.
Deadpool: No, not at all. But I've found an online dating service that's really good.
Dark Spider-Man: Cool. What's it called?
Arcade: Would you please get busy and destroy him, Spider-Man?
Dark Spider-Man: Oh... yeah. Sorry. Guess I'll have to kill you now.
Deadpool: Okay. But I'm really gonna miss me when I'm gone.
What stands out for me is the mass amount of unlockable characters and costumes (different costumes give different bonuses) and replay value. You've got 33 characters (360 version) to choose from for your four-(wo)man party, which gives you a lot of customization. If you pick classic Marvel lineups, such as Mr Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Thing, and Human Torch (Fantastic Four), you'll get a party-wide bonus for as long as you keep that lineup. You can switch out characters at access/save points. You can even create your own team and earn reputation points as you defeat bosses and complete quests, which will earn you skill points you can put in team-wide bonuses such as +Health or +Damage. Anyone in your four-person lineup who isn't in your team does not get these bonuses.
You might enjoy it because it's a fun game for casual players. No need for long XP grinds to build up a character to have fun, the action starts from the first level and continues on to the end.

Sounds like it might be frog compatible. I'll remember the title and take a look for it if/when I get the necessary console.
