Iron Man 2 The Video Game is a single player action game for Xbox 360 that continues the adventures of Tony Stark and his alter-ego, Iron Man. In it players can take to the air both as Iron Man and the hero's friend and ally, War Machine, as they battle through a unique storyline developed exclusively for the game that features the villain, Crimson Dynamo. Key features include a variety of combat scenarios both in the air and on the ground, improved controls and an optional lock-on targeting system. Rule the skies again. View larger. Story Suit up and take to the skies again. This brand-new story thrusts you deep into the Iron Man comic world adding to the excitement of the Iron Man 2 feature film. Battle epic enemies, like the classic Iron Man villain Crimson Dynamo, only featured in the game. In this original story penned exclusively for the game by renowned Iron Man comic writer Matt Fraction, billionaire playboy and tech genius Tony Stark gifts the world with new technology in order to make it a better place. His philanthropic nature isn’t enough to keep the enemies away as they have devious designs on the technology. In the end, the fate of the world will be left in Iron Man’s powerful hands and he must battle to save the world from destruction. Gameplay Iron Man 2, like the first video game in the series developed to coincide with the Marvel Comics movie releases, is a single player action game featuring combat and other action both on the ground and in the air. The game follows a timeline that is separate from that found in the the movies, allowing for both comic book and movie elements to coexist. Gameplay is mission-based with players collecting "field data" for success in battle, which in turn allows for the upgrading of battle suits. Improvements over the earlier game include greater variety of play, including indoor and outdoor combat and stealth, a control scheme that remains consistent regardless of whether you are on the ground or in the air and an optional lock-on system which pulls Iron Man towards enemies when he is in the air facilitating spectacular attacks. Finally, and probably most important, players in Iron Man 2 have the ability to play both as Iron Man as well as Tony Stark's friend and ally, War Machine. Key Game Features Be Iron Man.

This review is from: Iron Man 2 (Video Game)

I'm not a big fan of Iron Man, but I do like technologically advanced games, puzzles, and fighting. This game has them all. After playing the whole thing, I think it is better than the Movie! It starts off a bit slow, but gets better and better the farther in the game one gets! If you like superheroes at all, you should try this game!

This review is from: Iron Man 2 (Video Game)

Iron Man 2 is a step above its predecessor in almost every way. The flight controls are so much easier to use in Iron Man 2 which makes for a better experience controlling the main character. I enjoyed this game for the most part, I know it isn't the greatest game of all time and yes it was short, but I found it to serve its purpose. The ability to play as both Iron Man and War Machine was a nice added bonus as well which added a little replay to the game. Overall, I can't recommend this game because of it's short length and asking for a full price of $59.99 is a bit too much. $29.99 is a fair price for this game and if and when it drops to that price, maybe it is worth checking out.

3.0 out of 5 stars For $20, it's not a bad way to spend an afternoon, January 2, 2011

This review is from: Iron Man 2 (Video Game)

Gameplay is a step up from the first Iron Man game, although camera control and weapon targeting are still not great. Targeting a multiple-target weapon never works quite break, target lock breaks on a whim, and it is difficult to get a sense of the battlefield - the viewing angle should really have been as an FPS, not over the shoulder game, or at the very least had that as an option.

The objectives can be difficult to meet, especially when progress isn't clear, and there is no reliable way to know just where you're in danger (the object you're protecting it getting hit? By what? Is it above or below you? And how far away is it?). The minimap is little of little to no use in an all out firefight.

The art direction is a bit off - the actors have clearly not given permission for their actual images to be used in the game, so they're all lightly distorted in an off-putting manner. If you're expecting the in-game characters to look exactly like their movie counterparts, you'll be quite disappointed.

All that said, for $20 or less, how much are you expecting? If you're a fan of Iron Man or trying to pick up quick achievements, this game isn't a bad way to meet either want. You can play as Iron Man from any number of suit eras, upgrade weaponry and skills to empower yourself, and play as a comic book superhero in one of the better comic book super hero video games out now for around as much as you paid to see the original movie in the theater.
