Walter Hill made the jump from literate screenwriter of tough - minded crime films to director of elegantly - made bare - knuckle thrillers and action dramas with Hard Times (1975), a depression - era tale of underground fights with Charles Bronson and James Coburn as business partners in who aren't quite friends but become the first of Hill's
guarded buddy teams.
- based on the first two films - New York City is attacked by the nefarious chitauri warriors - civilians are pinned beneath wreckage - Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow have to rescue them by destroying wrecked cars and other debris - these civilians are
guarded by chitauri - Captain America can not only walk through flames, but he can now extinguish them with his shield - characters can also
team up for special combo attacks - these moves are context - sensitive - stand on a marked area and wait for your teammate (or A.I.
buddy) to walk over and press a button - Captain America uses his shield as a platform for Black Widow, and she bounces into the air and sprays bullets down - Thor rings Captain America's shield like a bell, destroying objects and enemies nearby - Captain America can reflect Iron Man's energy attack to destroy airborne chitauri - more than 100 all - new characters in the game - all - new New York City hub
