Capt. America and Thor Games Coming 2011

Source: Gamespot

Coinciding with the release of Thor and The First Avenger: Captain America, Sega will be publishing video game tie-ins for both films. Although Captain America has been included in various games in the past, Thor has rarely been a playable character in franchise titles, and both can be played most recently in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. There have not been a lot of good movie tie-in titles in the past, but that does not mean Sega should not try to make a good product. Too often games are rushed to cash in on the film popularity, and suffer due to poor control/game play issues.

Sega has published other Marvel games before, including Iron Man (it’s sequel too), The Incredible Hulk, and potentially a tie-in game for The Avengers film. Sega does not own all the rights to the Marvel franchise games, as Activision has published the three movie tie-in games. Spider-Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk are two games that stand out as some of the best game adaptations of comic character franchises. Expect more information on these two games the closer we get to 2011.
