Sega announce Captain America: Super Soldier

Captain America
Captain America coming to consoles next year - remind you of Castle Wolfenstein?

Sega have annouced the release of Captain America: Super Soldier. The game is set in World War II and due out on PS3, 360, Wii and DS next summer. Scripted by Marvel comic writer Christos Gage the game will be a third person action adventure. If the images are anything to go by you can expect to be fighting Nazis in Castle Wolfenstein-style settings. Talking of setting the game should tie in nicely with the upcoming film. Sega marketing SVP Gary Knight is predictably excited:

Videogame players the world over can now become Marvel's iconic Super Hero Captain America. Captain America: Super Soldier puts players in the boots of the ultimate Super Soldier, wielding Captain America's legendary shield. Working closely with Marvel ensures we're delivering the calibre of product that gamers and comic fans deserve and it's a partnership we're proud of here at SEGA.

What about you though? Are you excited too? Do you think a Captain America game will work? And if so will it be anything more than a mindless button bashing romp?
