Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

The game is mostly a third-person brawler with occasional puzzle elements. The Fantastic Four have to move through six levels consisting of several acts each, with such locations as a Skrull lair, New York City, a space station, a military base and downtown Shanghai. The four team members move through the levels together.

The player can switch between members at any time in single-player games, while up to four players can control one hero each in co-op multiplayer. In some parts of the game, only one character is controlled, like in longer flying sequences with the Human Torch.

Basic controls allow for strong and weak attacks and grapples, with various combos available. The four heroes each have different special abilities, used for extra-powerful attacks or puzzle-solving. Basic powers require the use of cosmic energy, which slowly regenerates and can also be refilled by picking up power-ups left behind by fallen enemies or hidden in breakable objects.

The game features various collectibles: collecting coins hidden in breakable objects allows players to upgrade the characters' powers between levels. There are also silver Fantastic Four symbols and Dr. Doom's spy bots to collect, which unlock additional costumes and comic book covers.
