Box Art of the Xbox 360 version.
Deadpool is an action beat 'em up based in the Marvel Comics universe, centered around the title's namesake, Deadpool. It was developed by High Moon Studios (who due to the level of tongue-in-cheek and fourth wall breaking, play a substantial role in the game's plot) and published by Activision and was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The game is notable for making almost constant fun of itself or the player and fanbase; for instance, at one point Deadpool and his two inner monologues decide that it is necessary to explain to the player via breaking the fourth wall as to why "their Rogue" can fly, even though she can't currently do so in the comics, due to knowing that the nerds will whine about it. It was also written by Daniel Way, former writer for the Deadpool comics, while Nolan North reprises his role as the voice of Deadpool from the animated Marvel film Hulk Vs and the video games Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds/Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Marvel Heroes.
