After reading the fun Avengers Origins: Assemble! (read my review here), I was curious to see if there would be any major differences in the pacing of this app. With the same writer (Rich Thomas) and the same excitable narrator (Stan “The Man” Lee), would this just be more of the same? Amazingly, I found a more intereresting, engaging adventure.

With the upcoming theatrical release of the inevitable blockbuster The Avengers, Marvel have released two apps to tie in which should appeal to a younger audience. Avengers Origins: Assemble! is the first cannonball from the promotional might of Disney, but it’s charming on its own merits and hits the mark.
