       To start off I'd like to say that I think Marvel Nemesis: ROTI
is an underrated PSP game and is constantly over-looked. I'd also like
to state the fact that Marvel Nemesis: ROTI is Rated T for Teen, it's
1-2 Players, it takes 160 KB of space to save, and is Wi-Fi Compatible
'Via' Ad Hoc.

THE MARVEL HEROES

Wolverine
--Little is known of Wolverine's past, save that it was fraught with pain and
loss. This much is known: his real name is James Howlett, but he prefers to
be called Logan. Long ago, he trained as a samurai in Japan. Later, he
became Weapon X, an operative for the Canadian government.
Today, Logan is an X-Man, using his animal-keen senses, healing factor,
and razor-sharp claws to help protect a world that fears and hates
mutants. He is also an active member of the New Avengers.

Storm
--Orphaned as child, Ororo Munroe developed the power to command forces of
nature-and was once worshipped as a goddess in Africa for that very reason.
As a member of the X-Men, she wields her unique genetic gifts to protect a
world that hates and fears mutants.

Spider-Man
--Although Spider-man is today a fierce opponent and active member of the
new Avengers, he wasn't always so renowned. The bite of an irradiated
spider granted high-school student Peter Parker incredible, arachnid-like
abilities. When a burglar killed his beloved Uncle Ben, grief-stricken Peter
vowed to use his amazing abilities to protect his fellow man. he has learned
an invaluable lesson: with great power comes great responsibility.

Iron Man
--Gravely injured by an act of industrial sabotage, billionaire genius
Tony Stark saved his own life by designing a life-sustaining shell the
hi-tech armor that makes him the invincible Iron Man. Today,
the world thinks Iron Man is an employee-Stark's personal bodyguard.
In this dual role he faces corporate intrigues and super-powered menaces.
Iron Man is a modern-day knight in shining armor.
He is the co-leader of the New avengers.

Captain America
--The pinnacle of human physical perfection and American invention,
Captain America is the product of a government experiment to develop
the ultimate soldier. His main weapon is his Vibranium-Adamantium
shield he uses in his fight for freedom.

Dr. Doom
--Doctor Doom, the enigmatic arch rival of the Fantastic Four, is a
genius who is motivated by both his ego and the belief that he
deserves to rule the world. Although Dr. Doom places little value
in the lives of others, he nonetheless adheres to a strict code of honor.

The Thing
--Once a skilled fighter-pilot, ben Grimm is now The Thing, a member
of the world-famous Fantastic Four. Bathed in cosmic radiation during
a fateful trip into space with his three friends, ben was transformed
into a hideous creature of craggy, orange stone with superhuman strength.
Many find him unsightly, but Ben has maintained his sense of humor and honor.
Under that rocky exterior lies a heart of gold.

Magneto
--Once a close friend of mutant mentor Charles Xavier, the
genetic-terrorist known as Magneto is now his deadliest foe.
The self-anointed Master of Magnetism has dedicated his life
to the advancement of Homo Sperior, even if he must bring about
humanity's downfall to ensure the ascendance of mutantkind.
Magneto believes that mutants represent the next step in human evolution.

Elektra
--Driven by tragedy and honed by training, the femme fatale
known as Elektra kills for hire, loves for thrills...
and leaves destruction in her wake.

Venom
--Never has Spider-man faced a more vicious foe than the
super-brute known as Venom, a man whose intense hatred for
the wall-crawler is matched only by the power of the
alien symbiote to which he's bonded!

THE IMPERFECTS

Van Roekel
--The brilliant scientist Niles Van Roekel is obsessed with
enticing the most powerful being on Earth to join him,
though motivations for doing so remain a mystery.
In his day-to-day business Van Roekel wears the simple
white lab coat of a human scientist. However, under the
cover of darkness, some believe he is using superhuman
stock to serve as protype in his search for a perfect warrior.

Johnny Ohm
--An outlaw and criminal at heart, Johnny Ohm was the toughest
criminal around. Although sentenced to death, he managed to
survive electrocution twice before being saved by Van Roekel.
Johnny was later augmented to harness his powers and,
ultimately become a human lighting rod.

The Wink
--The Wink's mutant power gives her control over every molecule
in her body, and with the technological augmentation by Van Roekel,
she is also capable of teleporting short distances. Though graceful,
talented, and blessed with superhuman powers. The Wink is a cruel
and murderous women anguished over her lost beauty. She cloaks
herself in swirling shadows to hide her true self from the world,
eager to scar those around her who remind her of what she once was.

Fault Zone
--With the grace and agility of a ballerina combined with seismic
arms that allow her to cause tremors, Mario Petrova's appearance belies
her awesome power. The loss of her ability to walk in a tragic accident
meant the loss of her career in the Bolshoi theatre. With the purpose
of her life gone, she was easily recruited by Van Roekel to bolster
the ranks of The Imperfects.

Solara
--Sole survivor of her murdered Yakuza family, Solara's amazing
ability to control fire has been corrupted by her thirst for revenge.
In order to augment her abilities, Van Roekel inserted superheated
alien crystal's directly into Solara's body, allowing her to blast
her enemies with searing heat waves. In combat Solara blends the
lethal martial art of Kyokushinkai Karate with her ability to
incinerate her opponents.

Brigade
--A behemoth of a man, Brigade was created by Van Roekel from the
bodies of one hundred soldiers. Though he was given unparalleled
strength and endurance, it came at a cost. Brigade's mind struggled
with memories of the hundred men and his psyche ultimatley became
unstable and violent. In the middle of battle he's been known to
become possessed by the voices inside his head.

Paragon
--With a blend of th technological genius of Van Roekel and the
genetic perfection of her birth, Paragon is one of the deadliest
beings ever to walk the Earth. Strong enough to batter down
buildings and armed with monofilament blades that can cut through
titanium, Paragon is a virtually flawless fighting machine.
She is the most perfect of The Imperfects.

Hazmat
--Once Hazmat was a brilliant scientist known as Dr. Keith Kilham,
one of the foremost minds in the field of toxins and biological
weaponry. A horrendous accident crippled his body and unhinged his
mind, turning him into a living virus. Hazmat is as dangerous as he
is grotesque. His body oozes corrosive slime which allows him to fire
corrosive blasts. His liquid bones allow im to contort his body into
virtually any sape. gentic manipulation by Van Roekel has
increased his strength and reflexes to superhuman levels making
Hazmat one of the most lethal of The Imperfects.

|                               Hints & Tips              ((000I9)|
O=================================================================O

*During a battle, both your health and stamina are affected. When your health is
depleted, it is permanent, and does not regenerate over time
(unless your Wolverine). But your Stamina regenerates slowly.

*Your power meter regenerates at a slow rate. However, doing a power stand
(press the R button) helps you regenerate power much, much faster.

*A medallion below the timer indicates what rewards are available based on the
lengthof the match.

*The timing of an attack and where exactly you are located in the arena can
affect the desired results.

*Successfully blocking an opponent's attack can add power to your power meter,
but be warned: some attacks are too strong to be blocked.

*Super blocks can defend against anything but also consume a lot of power.
Use them wisely.

*Learn the art of dodging blows. A good way to avoid ranged attacks is to
simply step out of their path.

*Many different objects in the arena can be used to help you defeat your
enemies. These objects can assist you when you are low on power. be carful,
though, not all characters can use each prop.

*Pressing block (the Triangle button) at any time points your character in
the direction of your opponent. This is known as auto-facing. Be aware,
sometimes auto-facing is delayed if your opponent is dodging.
An elusive target can be hard to track.
