Top 10 Best Superhero Video Games

The Top Ten
Batman Arkham City

This is without a doubt my favorite video game in the adventure/action genre. It took everything that made Arkham Asylum such a massive hit and expanded on it. More gadgets, amazing power flow, and ultra combat. More fantastic villains, and a violent yet brilliantly made plot. Its story captivated the players.

If all that doesn't make you think, then consider this: the game sold 20 million copies in under a month! That was just people buying the discs. There were millions more online buyers, with nearly 120 million people having played and loved the game. It is by far the best entry in the franchise and set the bar so high that games struggled to match it for decades after. Best game of the year? Pssshhhh. Best game of the freaking decade!

Batman Arkham Asylum

This game started it all. It created the perfect atmosphere and layout for a superhero game and expanded on it. I honestly feel like it was the perfect blend of a mature yet gripping Caped Crusader video game. The Joker, The Scarecrow, and Bane were just some of the fantastic villains in this genre-defining game. It won multiple awards and gained instant mega popularity. It deserves its critical acclaim. Rocksteady nailed it.

Though Arkham City improved on the gameplay and increased the villain count, Arkham Asylum is not only the best Batman game but the best superhero game ever.

Marvel's Spider-Man

Spider-Man is one of my favorite video games of all time. It has a strong, 9-hour campaign, and its story is brilliant. This game does what so many games couldn't: it makes you feel like the Webbed-Wonder. The open world adds to the spectacular design, and there are multiple villains to take down. Totally recommend it!

My only minor issue is that MJ's stealth missions are a bit repetitive after a while. Also, this game isn't suitable for people under 12 years of age because there are multiple upsetting scenes, including a brutal terrorist attack, the massacre of innocent civilians, and someone's bloody head being slammed into walls before being crushed by a villain.

Batman: Arkham Knight

A great addition to the long-running Arkham series, with the best graphics and map yet.

Great storytelling and more to do than in any other Arkham game.

Injustice 2

Believe me, it is better than Injustice: Gods Among Us and many other Marvel games like Contest of Champions, Strike Force, and Future Fight. It has cool graphics and fighting moves, and above all, one of the best stories ever.

Best superhero fighting game I've ever played in my life. It has the best graphics among all the fighting games that have ever been made. Love this game.

Injustice: Gods Among Us

What do you get when you take Mortal Kombat, replace the characters and settings with those from DC Comics, and call it Injustice? That's right, an awesome superhero fighting game!

Bought this yesterday. Had doubts at first and thought I made a mistake. Maybe I should've thought it through more before I bought it. Anyway, I got home and started playing it. I'm now addicted. Best fighting game I own by far.

It is the best fighting game. Marvel can never make a fighting game like this. Their games are weird. But games like Injustice and the Batman series are the best. These games have cool characters, cool combat, and moves. Marvel can never beat DC's games.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance

This is probably the video game that I have spent the most hours on.

Spider-Man 2

This game all the way! This should be number one, not Arkham City! (Don't get me wrong, that game is fantastic too). Nostalgia overload!

If the question is, "Which game makes you really feel like a superhero?" this is it, hands down.

The only game that beats Arkham City!

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2

Almost every awesome Marvel character and amazing gameplay. This is the game that had Marvel geeks screaming for joy.

Batman: Arkham Origins

Better than the other Batman games, and that's really saying something. Great gameplay, great story, great multiplayer. If you haven't got this game yet, get it!

Just as amazing as the other entries in the Batman: Arkham series. I'm surprised to find it this low on the list.

The Contenders
Lego Marvel Super Heroes

While Arkham City and Asylum are better in graphics, plot, and controls (and a lot darker), there are many reasons why this game is better than the others:
- Less complicated plot
- Great gameplay
- Almost every single Marvel character is playable
- A gigantic map almost or probably bigger than the ones in the Grand Theft Auto franchise

I like how you can drive cars, planes, or boats in this game. It's like Grand Theft Auto.

So many great memories of this game as a kid.

X-Men Origins Wolverine
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects
