What the LEGO Marvel Collection Actually Contains
LEGO Marvel Collection brings together three full games on one Xbox One disc: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, and LEGO Marvel's Avengers. It also includes previously released DLC packs for those games, so you get more than just the base titles.
That means one purchase gives you three separate adventures. In LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, you control a huge roster of characters uniting to stop Loki and other villains from assembling a super weapon. LEGO Marvel's Avengers jumps into the Marvel cinematic universe with characters and storylines from several films. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 pits heroes and villains from different eras against the time-traveling Kang the Conqueror in an original story.
The Three Games in the Collection
-
LEGO Marvel Collection (Xbox One): LEGO Marvel Collection includes LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, and LEGO Marvel's Avengers in one package. This is the core value of the collection: three complete games rather than one.
LEGO Marvel Collection (Xbox One)
-
LEGO Marvel Collection (Xbox One): Previously released DLC packs for the games are also included. You get extra content that would otherwise be separate purchases, with no need to track down add-ons.
How to Start Playing on Xbox One
- Insert the disc: The collection comes on a physical disc. Put it into your Xbox One console.
- Install the games: The Xbox One will prompt you to install the content. Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for installation to finish.
- Choose a game: From the collection menu, select LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, or LEGO Marvel's Avengers. Each is a separate game.
- Start with Super Heroes if you want the original: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is the first game in the set. Beginning there gives you the original story before moving to the sequels.
A Simple Beginner's Path for Each Game
Because each game is a full LEGO adventure, you can start with any of the three. If you want a natural progression, play LEGO Marvel Super Heroes first, then LEGO Marvel's Avengers, then LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. That order follows the release sequence and lets you see how the series evolved.
In LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, your goal is to stop Loki and a host of other villains from assembling a super weapon. The game gives you a huge roster of characters to unlock and use. Take time to experiment with different characters in the early levels; each has different abilities that help with puzzles and combat.
LEGO Marvel's Avengers follows storylines from several Marvel films. If you enjoy the movies, this one lets you play through those moments in LEGO form. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is an original time-travel adventure against Kang the Conqueror, with characters from different eras and realities. It is the most recent of the three and adds new mechanics, but the core LEGO gameplay remains familiar.
What to Check Before You Buy
- Xbox One compatibility: The product is listed for Xbox One. The supplied information does not confirm compatibility with other Xbox consoles, so check your console model if you plan to play on a different system.
- Save transfer: The supplied product information does not mention save transfer between games or consoles. Do not assume your progress from a previous version will carry over.
- DLC details: The collection includes previously released DLC packs, but the supplied information does not list them individually. Expect extra content, but check the specific packs if you need to know exactly what is included.
- Install size and time: The supplied information does not provide install size or time. Be prepared for a standard Xbox One installation process.
Is This Collection Right for You?
If you are new to LEGO Marvel games, this collection is a straightforward way to get three full games and their DLC in one purchase. The catalog price is USD 10.76, compared to a comparison price of USD 14.95, which makes it a budget-friendly option for hours of play.
If you already own one or more of these games, the value depends on whether you want the others and the DLC. Since save transfer is not confirmed, starting fresh may be necessary. For families or players who enjoy co-op, each game supports drop-in co-op, though the supplied information does not detail multiplayer options, so check the box or store listing if that is important to you.
