As much fun as it is to fly around as Iron Man, this game falls short in some areas. Not that many, though. The ads led me to believe that the Iron Man suit could be customized, but the selection isn't as wide as I'd believed. The three movie versions plus two old comic suits. That might be good enough for someone who only saw the movie, but for anyone acquainted with the comics, you tend to expect so much more. To be fair, the weapons can be customized a bit, but there's no stealth mode. The stealth mode was prominent in the ad. I can only assume that it's something they trimmed for the PS2 release, and that makes me upset. They shouldn't be trimming good things just because it's an older system! The PS2 could have handled it!

Still, it was pretty fun. The levels themselves were open-ended, which is good when you like to explore your surroundings. And I never get tired of those repulsor rays. I say rent it first, then buy it if you want.

the iron man game was soo fun!!! and i got an xbox360 armor after winning easy mode somehow. but i did not get any of the other armor :( but it was cool!!!!!! so yeah its a good game for [...] but it only has 13 levels

I only bought this game because of an interview I saw with the designers. One guy said that it "easily" had 8-9 hours of playing storyline, but you can easily finish it all in 2, which breaks down to $15/hr, and that's a ripoff. The guy deliberately lied. He also said that there was all sorts of free world roam, and that's a lie as well, too. You ONLY get battle areas, which can be large and mazelike, but you're contained to that main area. And in many levels, you can't even leave the current battle scene, or you get a "talking to." Stupid.
Plus, the upgrades are very limited, despite what the trailer shows, another disappointment. The function changer was also annoying. It'd give me Unibeam when I wanted Repulsors, and it's slow to change.
All in all, very average.

the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 was because it loosely followed the actual movie story line. It wasn't like actually following in the footsteps of the adventure so...since that isn't major the rest is really great! lots of fun!

Some parts suck. Some parts are a lot of fun. Overall, it's Okay. I stopped playing it a year or so ago and have yet to pop it back in. I may some day.

Wasn't as cool as I thought it would be. Gameplay got boring quick. Graphics...eh. I resold it soon after I bought it.

Do not waste your time with buying this game. Rent it instead. The game is too short, the moves get old, and you pass it so fast it isnt fun no more. I'll admit the graphics and characters are great but it only has few chapters that you can play. That is why I recommend renting it because it takes about 1 day to pass. If you decide to buy it you will just pass it and it will gather dust. Buy the movie because the game ruins it.

This game is awesome! Your weapons are great, your flying abilities are insane, and the levels are well made.
In the first level, you are in the Mach 1 Iron Man Suit. You learn to use a flametrower and to melee attack. All of the levels are well crafted and has outstanding graphics.

WEAPONS:
After the first level, you use the regular suit. In every level, you have three main weapons. Before the level, you choose which kind of repolsers, machine gun, and exterior rockets you want. All of the weapons are very efective.
FLYING:
Flying is really hard. Most of the time, you end up using hover.[which is easy to control] When you fly, you go so fast, you can't turn that easily! You mostly want to fly in a large area.
ENEMIES:
The enemies aren't that hard to beat. The swat team soldiers die in one punch, the tanks and helicopters are a bit harder to beat, and bosses can be difficult. During every boss, there's somewhere you can hide. Just hide behind there and attack when he's not firing. The Iron Monger [the final boss] is really easy to defeat.
Like every game, there's PROS and CONS.[GOOD and BAD] There are a couple of each.
PROS:
.The levels have a neat premise.
.With all of your powers, you can make things explode!
.From beginning to end, this game includes a wide variety of challenges and puzzles.
CONS:
.It only has 13 levels.
.There isn't a free roam.
As we conclude this review, this game gets two thumbs up. The graphics are amazing, the weapons are amazing, the flying abilities are amazing, IRON MAN IS AMAZING!!!!

With Iron Man being a smash hit in theaters, a video game tie-in starring the Marvel hero is only natural. Most of the time, movie tie-in games are pretty lame and generic, and made only to cash-in on the film. Iron Man is no different, as you play as 'ol shellhead and fly around and take down baddies. What really kills Iron Man is that the game is so monotonous and boring. You basically do the same thing over and over again, and it isn't long before you discover just how tedious the game really is. If you manage to overcome all that, you'll find that the game is on the short side, and pretty much a breeze to get through. There are some good points to mention though, including the fact that film stars Robert Downey Jr. and Terrance Howard provide their voices for the game, and there are extra armors to find and unlock. The moments of flying around are kind of fun too, but there isn't enough here to hold your interest. All in all, the Iron Man game may be worth a look for fans of the comic or film, but in the end, we just have another lame cash-in attempt.

Every thing was as described, arrived when stated to arrive, brought this product for my son who is very happy with the game. Excellant experience with Amazon and its'members.
