The Guardians are unable to prevent the megalomaniac mastermind from executing his plan, which rips time-space continuum and leaves them in Chronopolis, a world where different realities and time periods exist side by side. There, a giant ship in the shape of a sword – with chief antagonist, Kang the Conqueror (voiced by The Tick's Peter Serafinowicz), aboard – arrives to take over the planet, before departing for Earth. Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 has an original storyline of its own, unlike last year's disappointing Lego Marvel's The Avengers, and it begins with Star-Lord and his crew zooming alone through space, before their help is requested on Xandar, the same planet you saw in the first film. While some are modelled on the Marvel Cinematic Universe – Guardians of the Galaxy being the obvious ones – others are adopted from the comic book pages, stretching back to as far as when Marvel was still called Timely Comics. There are enough here though (a total of 236 before its downloadable content, which will include future Marvel films) that you won't mind missing the few who couldn't join the party.
That joyous, infectious personality is at the heart of this new Lego adventure, a follow-up to the 2013 original that includes every Marvel hero you've heard of from the movies and TV shows, in addition to hundreds more from the comics, but loses out on some that were there last time around: Deadpool, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men.
It's a shame they haven't been able to license enough songs to avoid repetition, but nevertheless, it's a whole lot of fun. With Star-Lord, you can enable a mixtape mode that drowns all outside sounds, and makes all enemies stop fighting and instead dance to Redbone's Come and Get Your Love, from the original Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack. Fifteen minutes into Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 – the newest addition to developer Traveller's Tales' super-long line of Lego-themed franchise video games that have explored everything from Star Wars to Harry Potter – a random press of a button led to an accidental discovery that would become one of our favourite moments.
