9 / 10DropkickerThis is the best game I've found for doing supers and has become my default system.
8 / 10TrippyHippyExuberant adaptation of a popular, vast and ever expanding intellectual property. The mechanics take some time to get used to, but they are evocative of the full colour action that brings the superhero genre to life and, for fans of the comics, it provides a perfect stepping stone into roleplaying. It does largely assume the use of established Marvel characters, however, with none of the detailed character generation schemes found in other supers rpgs.

Rating User Summary
5 + 5AllenshMarvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game. A great game that really captures the feel of a Marvel Comics story. Great art, great mechanics and a lot of fun!
5 + 4briskiMarvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game. Marvel Heroic Roleplaying deserves high marks for its strong production, reasonable price and interesting rules approach -- even if it is a rules system that rubs me the wrong way.
5 + 3Dirk VandereykenMarvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game. Marvel Heroic Roleplaying is the 4th RPG based on the Marvel Universe. It uses a simplified version of the acclaimed Cortex system.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
