This game is a very good, albeit simplistic LEGO "smash'em-up" type game, featuring tons of characters from pretty much all the Marvel story arcs.
The list of characters includes, but is definitely not limited to: X-Men characters such as Wolverine and Jean Gray, all four Fantastic 4 members, numerous variations on Spider-man and Iron Man (including Pepper Pots' "Ironheart" suit), and even some more obscure characters such as Star Lord and a cameo appearance (in a cutscene) of Groot and Rocket Raccoon. The best character in the game (and the hardest to unlock, by far) is Stan Lee, who has some pretty cool melee combo moves as well as a REALLY fast-firing red-and-blue fireball. I highly doubt that Galactus is in this version, as I have only four characters left to unlock, and none of them is Galactus (the characters are in alphabetical order).
As far as Red Bricks go, I won't reveal where they are, but I will tell you what they do:
You can have up to three active at one time during each level.
There are double, triple, quad and x5 super-move slots, x2 stud multiplier, invincibility, collectible detector (helps you find both Red Bricks and Mini-kits), health regeneration (now EVERYONE can be like Wolverine!), an extra heart (gives you five hearts per character instead of four), Party Time (makes enemies "go disco" and usually not attack) and a small handful of "funny" or "joke" powerups--animal sounds, honking sounds, bubble effects, confetti effects, and big heads.
Finally, there are "only" 225 gold bricks to collect throughout the game, spread over 45 "mini-levels". Some of these mini-levels may take upwards of five minutes (that's a long time when trying to collect over 40,000 studs when most of them are of the gold and silver variety--100 and 10 studs, respectively). However, the mini-levels are not overly complicated (for the most part--I can't find the blasted Mini-kit in the first prison level...I'm beginning to think there isn't one, even though one of the gold bricks requires that you find it). I've already found 200 of the 225 gold bricks in the game, and am still holding out a tiny sliver of hope that maybe, just maybe, Galactus is unlocked when you find all of them.
