Lego Marvel's Avengers assemble today for launch

It's time once again to grab your various bricks and minifigures as Lego Marvel's Avengers launches today for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and PC. This time around the amount of Marvel superhero content has increased to include even more films with The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Iron Man 3, and lastly Thor: The Dark World. Like I said, that's a whole lot of superheroes.

And of course it wouldn't be a Lego game without the signature infusion of humor into otherwise dramatic scenes. The game features more than 200 characters that can be unlocked, 100 of those making their first appearances in a Lego video game. The open world aspect of previous games also makes its return with more worlds to explore. The locales include New York City, Asgard, Barton's Farm, Malibu, S.H.I.E.L.D. base exterior, Sokovia, South Africa, and Washington, D.C.
