2.0 out of 5 stars About what you might expect December 4, 2006

The Superman franchise has never had a good track record in the video game world, and that trend continues in the hands of publishing and developing giant EA. Superman Returns for the DS is actually better than it's home console bretheren, but not by much. Featuring some surprisingly good 3-D graphics and animation, Superman Returns allows you to control the Man of Steel in some bland, but nicely designed, environments featuring time-based missions. That's right, your biggest enemy is the game clock ticking away at the top of the screen as you take on baddies, jump in and out of your secret identity, and perform some rescues. And that's it. That's all you do, and it doesn't last very long. However, that may be a good thing, because the repetitive gameplay is what kills Superman Returns. The control scheme is numbing, and any kind of features to take advantage of the DS' capabilities that are here are thrown in as an afterthought only. All considering, Superman Returns for the DS is probably what you may have suspected it to be: a derivative, licensed super hero game from a mega publisher that lacks anything to set it apart from the pack. It may be worth a look for Superman fans, but that's it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Eh. It's ok. August 8, 2008

I love superman and the game seems like it's got a good plot and seems like it would be fun if only I could work the whole flying aspect correctly. It's so hard to fly with these games. I push up and he goes down, I push down and he goes up. If I push the speed button, he passes where I need him to go but if I barely push it I lose the game. So I try changing the buttons and I still can't get the hang of it. All in all I haven't gotten too far. I just got used to getting harry potter to fly on my ps2 game station and I'm still working on getting jaws to swim on my ps2. It's gonna take me a little while before I figure out superman on my nintendo ds.
