Lego and Marvel Launch App Superheroes: Universe in Peril

If you didn't know there was a summer gaming season before, you sure do now. And this one is going to be epic.

Warner Brothers, Marvel, TT Games and The LEGO Group kicks off summer gaming with the release of the highly popular and hugely successful "LEGO(R) Marvel(TM) Super Heroes: Universe in Peril" for Apple(R) mobile devices, now available for download on the App Store.

But what superhero can you be, you ask? Well, Marvel has the answer to that.

Fans can take control of Iron Man, Spider-Man, the Hulk, Captain America, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, possibly the Statue of Liberty (she does show up in the video below) and many more Marvel characters as they unite to stop Loki and a host of other Marvel villains from assembling a super-weapon capable of destroying the world! I'll tell you, if I don't get to play as Black Widow, things will get downright nasty.

In "LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril" players can experience 45 action-packed missions as they chase down Cosmic Bricks across key locations, and I know there's nothing I want to do more than search for a Brick.

With more than 90 playable characters, gamers battle enemies using fast-paced combat moves and can activate super moves such as the Hulk's Thunder Clap and Iron Man's Arc Reactor. Players will gain instant access to their favorite Marvel super heroes and super villains, as well as power-up abilities through in-app purchases.

You will also hear the actual actors voice their roles - or at least a few of them, Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson) being the most notable.

Well? What are you waiting for? Check out the video below to see what you're in for.
