Gameplay
Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to Lego's long-running series of franchise video games, with a focus on puzzle-solving interspersed with action. Players have to solve puzzles spread across the game environment to progress through levels. The game features New York City as the main large open-world hub, but also, for the first time, includes seven other movie significant areas players can travel to, including Asgard, Malibu, South Africa, the Helicarrier, the Bartons' farm, Washington, D.C., and Sokovia. These hubs also feature hundreds of side quests and bonus levels such as rescuing citizens in trouble and races. While the game's story is predominantly focused on the first two Avengers films, there are single levels based on Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Characters
Characters
The game features over two hundred playable characters, with most characters (excluding Fantastic Four and X-Men characters) returning from the previous game. While most of the characters are drawn from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some comic book characters that had yet to appear as of the release of the game like Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel, Sam Wilson as Captain America, Jane Foster as Thor, and the Young Avengers members Wiccan, Speed, Hulkling, and America Chavez are included as well. Director Arthur Parsons stated: "It's a celebration of everything about the Avengers. Comic books, movies, cartoons. It's everything you love about the Avengers in video games".
Audio
Audio
Unlike Lego Marvel Super Heroes, which used original voice acting, Lego Marvel's Avengers utilizes audio from the six films being adapted for the game, including voice and music, similar to Lego The Lord of the Rings, The Lego Movie Videogame, Lego The Hobbit, and Lego Jurassic World. The game utilizes archival audios from the actors in the films. Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Ashley Johnson, Hayley Atwell, Michael Peña, and Ming-Na Wen reprise their respective roles from the films and TV shows, and Marvel Comics co-creator Stan Lee returned to voice himself. Robbie Daymond voices A-Bomb. Lou Ferrigno voices Himself and Greg Miller voiced Aldrich Killian.
