Comic books and video games. There is no greater combination. So, when you take an American icon like Captain America and throw him into a third person shooter, well, you know it’s going to rock!

Marvel comic writer Christos Gage has taken the reigns of this game and created an epic story set in WWII. Playing as Captain America himself and wileding his iconic shield, you’ll get the opportunity to battle against Red Skull, the Hydra Army and Iron Cross, to name a few.

According to Sega, “Gage wrote his original story for Captain America: Super Soldier so that the setting coincides with the upcoming movie of the same name, but he infused the game with immersive twists designed to enhance gameplay alongside all-new cinematic action sequences.”

The screenshots make this game look very cool!

And to top it all off, we have some really cool concept art, too!
