1.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Awful, May 7, 2008

By	Ron Sullivan (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

There hasn't been a game in quite some time that I thought was terrible, pretty much across the board, but 'Iron Man' managed to hit it.
From terribly repetitive levels with re-spawning enemies, to it unnatural flight controls and a bad targeting system; 'Iron Man' manages to fail at damn-near everything it tries to do. This is the best-example of every criticism of a "movie game" I've ever seen.
Sure, each level in the 'Iron Man' world is huge and gives a good impression of NOT being in a fish-bowl like some other games do. At the same time however, the graphics to that world are flat-out disgusting. In my opinion, for what is supposed to be a next-gen game, 'Iron Man' may be the worst-looking yet.
The ability to upgrade your armor is a nice new spin, but, unfortunately, just can't overcome the fact that everything else is going so completely wrong. Even the voice acting is lousy. Robert Downey Jr and Terrance Howard reprise their film roles and you can almost hear the indifference (or distain) in their voices. It's almost as if they realize how bad this is and want to get out as fast as possible.
To summarize ... the movie is absolutely terrific and gets my highest praise and recommendation. Take whatever you would have spent on the game and go see the movie again. For the REALLY curious, the (equally bad)demo is available on both xBox Live and The Playstation Network for free. Don't let this waste of a game ruin the film's experience for you by buying it ...

1.0 out of 5 stars This Iron Man is Rusted and Busted., June 8, 2008

By	The Matrix Fan "Video Gamer since 1979." - See all my reviews

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I rented Iron Man and gave it a test run, since the sticker price seemed a little steep. After playing for a few hours, I found myself wondering how a bug-ridden game like this ever got past beta testing.

I've listed the top offending errors below:

(1) Environmental errors: There was a section in the first level where I moved behind a fence. I came to the end of the fence but couldn't move past it, even though nothing was blocking my path. I had to loop all the way back and go around. This is a pretty basic error, and yet quality testing missed it - not a good sign.

(2) Enemy detection errors: I was fighting a slew of enemies on the second level and before I could advance further, I had to eliminate all the ground troops. There was one left on my radar and I flew down to find he was....under the concrete. Yes, this enemy somehow fell UNDER THE CONCRETE. I had to reset and start the level all over again.

(3) Poor targeting system: The only way I could shoot a target is if the crosshairs were centered on an enemy at that specific moment. That means if Iron Man was running, flying, or dodging, it's pretty likely that my laser blasts or missiles would miss the target.

(4) Hyper-sensitive flight system: The flight controls operate on a hair trigger. If I pressed the hover button too hard, Iron Man shot straight up. If I pressed the hover button too lightly, he dropped like a stone. When I hit the flight button, Iron Man shot forward at Ludicrous Speed - and I couldn't slow down. At all.

In a nutshell, I spent most of my game time flying around at breakneck speed with little control, trying not to slam into buildings, attempting to hit multiple enemies with a poor weapons system, while trying to break a time limit.

There's absolutely no justification to pay the asking price for this game. We, as video game consumers, deserve better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Iron Not Strong Enough, May 4, 2008

By	Austin Anderson (MPLS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

The Iron Man game is yet another movie based video game gone bad, the graphics look like PS2, the voice acting is fair, but nothing you'd remember, the game might make you sick the flying is unnatural as it would be to any normal person, the fighting even on hard is repetivtive and poorly done. the upgrade system is the best part of this game getting new and improved weapons just wish i wanted to use them, don't waste your money, rent it and then return it and keep playing GTA IV
