Most times when a game is cancelled, much like the way THQ's
The Avengers tie-in game was, you may see a few bits and pieces of art or a snippet of footage. We've been lucky, we've had quite a bit of concept art leak out, which you can view
here and
here if you originally missed them, but we even had three minutes of gameplay footage find it's way online, which you can view at the bottom of this article. As you can see it would've been a POV game. Allowing you to play from the first-person perspective of Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. It also had the capability of allowing you to team-up with as many as four of your friends so that you could form your own Avengers. When you look at the art and the clip, and you factor in the gobs of cash that the film made it seems like such a shame that it was never finished. Hell, it even had five-time Eisner award winning comic book writer, Brian Michael Bendis, as the writer.
So take a look at some more concept art for the game. These images were created by James Brouwer, and involve three classes of Skrulls: Personnel, Grunts, and Assassins. Clearly the game isn't following the path of the film, as the film's aliens were the Chitauri and the game uses the Skrulls.
