I might check out the demo, but since the download would take forever I will probably pass on this game. Plus I dont like Superman, so I dont think I would like the game.

Great write-up. I agree with you. I’ve only played the demo, it was fun to fly around and kick some ass. But the graphic details in the city level were very bland. Every corner looks the same, the buildings are very identical. And the bystandards and cars are pretty lame.

I have this game sitting at my house. I played it for about 30 minutes and I kind of enjoyed it. I was thinking about sending it back tomorrow, but after reading your wonderful review deacon….I may keep it for a little longer. Seriously though, nice write up. I look forward to reading some of you other reviews.

yep i feel the same way green…first time i’ve actually really felt like the man of steel.

if they keep with the foundation here and add the elements i mentioned, i think the next game could be stellar.

(yeah that does suck about the heat vision and other powers having no effect on some enemies but flip a car instead lol)

Out of all the Superman games that I have played, this one makes me feel the most like Superman. First off, it owes a lot to the concepts thrown out there by the “Spiderman 2″ video game and the open-ended superhero city. I enjoy the game in some aspect; however, I find it very repetitive. Why do I need to save from monsers all the time? Where’s the robberies or hold-ups? Flying at super-speeds seems to be the best part. There are times that I just wanted to fly around and locate the mini-games, but found myself stuck in helping to stop another robot rebellion. Yes, I know that is part of the job as Superman, but it is still annoying. I also felt that if you failed a mini-game, it should give you the option to try again. I got very annoyed with attempting to fly back to the mini-game point and having to save some people from blah…blah robots along the way. The city to me felt a little plain and needed more details and life to it; afterall, this is a city worth saving. After fighting back some kind of rebellion issues, I see people needing help and at first would quickly get them to a nearby ambulance, but my superbrain quickly realized there is real no point to this since I get no bonus and if I leave them alone, the game will clear them out for me. I also felt sad to realize that Superman’s greatest power of all is the ability to throw cars. Yes, you heard me correctly. That heat vision or cold breath isn’t working for you against a huge menance? Well, silly …throw a car at him to cause massive damage to his weak point. It brings new meaning to “Grand Theft Auto – Superman style”. I am also disapointed to see that non eof the related soundtrack with the original John Williams “Superman” score was used in the game, especially since this is a official licensed game! Just that theme song would have kepted me pumped to save the city from stupid robots and monsters.
Long story short, this is one of the better games that makes you feel like you are Superman; it may feel a little like repetive and it is very short on the main story, but it is worthy of a rental for those Superman fans.

nah it’s not that bad. flying around as Superman was great…especially breaking the sound barrier lol

it has its issues for sure but it wasn’t a horrible game. definitely a strong foundation for hopefully more Superman titles.

The only Superman game I want to play is one where you can use Doomsday and kill him lol. So I give this game a 1/10 lol. No Doomsday = No fun
