First and foremost, this is NOT a game for children. The cover could deceive some in thinking its safe for kids, but it is mark "Mature" for a reason.
Now on to the game review - which this game took a very different and welcomed approach for a third person action game. The concept of having the character you control actually interact with you is pretty damn cool. I'm on the very last mission and I can tell you that you will enjoy this game if you like crude humor and some damn cool bloody violence in your super hero games. I laughed out loud several times playing this game. This is not a serious game and shouldn't be taken seriously either as the premise is that it is a game. Dead Pool himself reminds you of that often throughout the game.
You use Dead Pool points in order to build up your health, strength, get different combos, and purchase different weapons. You will find that a bear trap, yes - bear traps, will come in very handy when fighting bosses and I recommend get them early. Also, a well planted mine will help big time when dealing with the "clones" because if enough of them get close to you and they explode, well you're dead. Throwing a mine out as they are chasing you will do the trick exploding every one of them within range though.
If you are a Marvel fan you will find the cameos really cool, from Cable, Wolverine, to Rogue along with a few others. The game does somewhat get repetitive, but not enough to bore you. High Moon Studios did a good job with changing things up for the player. I found myself wanting some more of the repetitive waves of baddies coming after me just to try out the new stuff I upgraded. Now, the camera angle at times can be your worst enemy as you will get in spots where you can't even see yourself or your opponent. In these cases you will just have to run out into a more open area or you fall to your death due to the camera angle.
All in all this is a very cool, rude, crude, uncouth, and violent good time. If you are not familiar with Dead Pool just look up "Dead Pool in three minutes" on YouTube and you can get the quick down and dirty on him before you start your game. What do you call the sound of a robotic arm clapping? - Dubstep.
