Superman Returns: The Game

Grimm's comparison to the Spider-Man 2 game is on the mark. Both games give a good sense of being that particular hero but other than that, it's a bust. I'd still rent the game because some of the stuff that plays in the trailer looks pretty sweet but no way would I drop 60 on it.

Have you even watched the trailer?

Camera is un-usable. Controls are wonky and unreliable at best, and completely broken at worst.

Play the demo. You'll see what I mean.

Mr Mxy is in the game 😄

This is basically a perfect portrayal of the crappy dialoge

Im getting it but hinestly I probably will play it for a few minutes and then give it to my boys. Not really interested in the game, this one anyways.

How does that make any sense?

You'd buy something for $60 that you know you won't like, and then give it away? 😑

Imagine how bad this game would have been if they tried to get it out with the theatrical release of the movie. 😘

Closing Comments
Although this could be called the best Superman game yet, Superman Returns is among the most disappointing. EA did very well with Superman’s powers, and flying and freezing and blowing and heating are each fun in their own way. But Superman is more than the sum of his powers; he is defined too by his alter ego Clark Kent, by his romance with Lois Lane, and by his archenemy Lex Luthor. All of these are absent in the gameplay of Superman Returns. That, coupled with mindless and monotonous action, as well as average graphics and sound are more damning blows to the world’s favorite superhero than ten tons of kryptonite. While the open world is supposed to let you do whatever you like, there just isn’t anything to do in Metropolis. Punching out bad guys becomes about as fun as taking out the garbage, and the “epic” battle between Superman and the forces of evil is as simple and dull as a day of chores. It could be argued that this game should be recommended to hardcore Superman fans, but it’s clear to me that those are the ones that will least enjoy this lackluster effort. EA was on to something in Superman Returns, but barely tapped the surface.

I like the game but it could have been better. The controlls are ok but a bit difficult in the begining . The graphics would need more work.The Bizarro mini game is to short...

I played for about an hour, and I thought it was pretty fun. I'd probably buy it if I had a 360, but I don't. If you like Superman I'd recomend it.

Game completed 😎

I thought this would be good one.

Well, now I am not sad that it is not coming to PS3. 😛

The controls are terrible and I was already bored after the meteors falling part, maybe because im not a big Supes fan.

I am used to FPS. I guess I should rephrase, the controls are horrible at the beggining then they get slightly better.LOL

This right here sums up EA and most of their back catalogue.

I still like flying around 😬

Its cool how you go through different speeds the more you fly
