My Captain America game would be a little different. While I like the idea of a third person adventure game where you get to be Captain America, I thought why not mix it up a little? My Captain America game would be a first person shooter.
You're probably wondering what I'm talking about since Cap uses a shield and not a gun. Going back to WWII, our game sees young Steve Rogers just after drinking the Super Soldier Serum and becoming Captain America. The game will focus first on Cap joining the war with other soldiers. He's not quite the symbolic hero just yet. He may have been enhanced and given some training but he still has a ways to go.

Once you complete that level, you discover that young Bucky Barnes, your teenage sidekick hasn't returned from his mission. You are being ordered to return to the States because the government feels as the only Super Soldier, you are too valuable to risk out in open combat. They would like to run more tests on you to see if they can replicate the Super Soldier Serum.
Once again, you are alone behind enemy lines. This time, all you have is your shield as a weapon. Hand to hand combat in a first person shooter sometimes comes across as awkward so perhaps the game engine could tweak this a bit to make some better gameplay. You will have the opportunity to pick up the weapons of fallen enemies but you would want to use them sparingly since it's a stealth mission. For those that strongly believe Cap shouldn't use guns, you could try completing missions without one or aim carefully to shoot guns out of enemy hands.
Arriving at Red Skull's castle, you must go through a maze to enter with some puzzles to solve (they won't be those annoying ones that just interrupt the gameplay and make you want to stop the game). You defeat Red Skull just as Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos arrive on their own top secret mission.
There's my thoughts. Again, I think a third person game could be cool. The images and trailer for SEGA's game look cool but unfortunately comic book video games have a certain track record. Do you think a first person shooter with Captain America could work? Would you want to play it?
