2.0 out of 5 stars Another side-scrolling action, October 22, 2000

This review is from: Iron Man X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal (Video Game)

This is just another sidescrolling action with comic characters in it. Not much new gameplay elements to offer. The features would be the relatively good 3D graphics and you can occasionally shoot into the background. This somehow does make the game difficult because some of the crucial targets are in the background and if not destroyed, you will notice that ou may end up restarting that level without knowing what is going on.

Power-ups are not fantastic, it just gives larger area for shots and not much special abilities to look forward to.

Go for it only if you love side-scrolling action, otherwise i would not recommend it to people who want to try it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another Side Scolling Genre, October 22, 2000

By

This review is from: Iron Man X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal (Video Game)

This is just another side-scrolling game with no new gameplay elements to make it stand out from the rest.

The 3D graphics are decent but not that great and the sound is not great either, gets boring after a while.

The only features I can mention is its attempt to add more dimensions to the standard side scroller but it makes the game resonable more difficult and not as enjoyable since sone crucial targets are in the backgrouns and you got th destroy then or else you will find that you will just lose a life and start from the check point again.

I would only recommend this for side scrolling lovers or fans of Iron Man and X-) Manowar, otherwise its best to stay clear of it.
