That\u2019s right, the Deadpool game is finally here, and if you\u2019re looking to laugh while you shoot and stab your way through the Marvel anti-hero\u2019s world, then you\u2019re in luck.<\/p>\n

The game is currently making a splash in the gaming world thanks to its over-the-top humour and Deadpool\u2019s antics, and trust me, after playing this game, Deadpool doesn\u2019t just break the fourth wall, he smashes it into pieces.<\/p>\n

The game is currently holding a 64 Metascore, while keeping a percentage of 66.75 on Gamerankings for the Xbox 360 version.<\/p>\n

The PC and PS3 versions are still pending some reviews, but we could expect the aggregates to be within the 360\u2019s range.<\/p>\n

Check out what the critics are saying about the merc-with-a-mouth:<\/p>\n

OXM<\/a>: 8\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe goofy ending shenanigans are worth the trouble, of course, but it\u2019s always a shame to see a runner stumble just before the finish line. Luckily, the rest of Deadpool is so light on its feet and so steadfastly amusing that you\u2019re bound to remember all of the pleasure and none of the pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polygon<\/a>: 7\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cHigh Moon surprised me with competent action and better-than average storytelling, and even Deadpool himself grew on me, despite his dumber-than-dirt antics.\u201d<\/p>\n

GamesRadar<\/a>: 3.5\/5<\/h3>\n

\u201cHigh Moon Studios has created not only one of the best superhero games, but one of the funniest games you’ll ever play–period. Sure, it’s low brow and a little heavy on the dick and fart jokes, but… wait, actually, that’s not a bad thing. It’s a great thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game Informer<\/a>: 6\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say it falls into the \u201cit\u2019s so bad, it\u2019s good\u201d camp, but like a cheesy Nic Cage movie, it sometimes hits the right comedic notes, but it just doesn\u2019t hit them enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

IGN<\/a>: 6\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cBehind Deadpool\u2019s demented humor, creative script, and brilliant sight gags is a fairly conventional, generic action game. It\u2019s not bad, but it\u2019s not particularly good, either \u2013 and without oodles of hidden secrets or unlockables to discover, there\u2019s really no reason to replay it once you\u2019ve finished.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Deadpool<\/p>\n

Joystiq<\/a>: 6\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cBetter to take it as an unvarnished comedy, then, because Deadpool self-destructs when you read so deeply (and madly?) to see satire. That’s okay, bearing in mind there are better games in which you slice people up for points, and that everything Deadpool the man revels in \u2013 the bullets, the blood and the babes \u2013 are sincerely sought and embarrassingly commonplace in the marketplace to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gametrailers<\/a>: 5.5\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cComic fans looking for a mindless romp may find Wade Wilson\u2019s misadventures up to the task, but players seeking some actual substance should look for another mercenary to hire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Deadpool<\/p>\n

Videogamer<\/a>: 5\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cDeadpool is a great character wrapped in a standard (and short) action experience. It can be fun in quick bursts, but the lack of a real challenge until the very end means it tires quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gamespot<\/a>: 5.5\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cDeadpool tries to hide its problems behind an exuberant personality, but all the talking in the world can’t smooth over some fundamental flaws.\u201d<\/p>\n
