3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Deliver, May 3, 2008

By	R. Horning "Peace be da Journey" (Cali) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Iron Man (Video Game)

First, ignore most of what you see as far as information regarding this game. Most if not all of the Screen-shots and trailers are for the PS3 and Xbox360 version, that includes the info amazon has posted for this game.

I really wanted to like this game but ended up disappointed with a few aspects. I'm not saying its a bad game but my recommendation is to wait till this game comes down in price. I don't feel its worth it right now to pay 30$ to 40$ when the game only lasts a couple of hours, it also lacks the kind of in-depth game play that makes this worth the money.

The Game itself is ridiculously easy, playing on normal I finished the game without any real difficulties (froze once) with only a couple hours of game play. The first two levels are tutorials teaching you to move and fly, and theres no way to skip these that I could find. In battle you use either your Repulsar Rays, Gatling Gun, Rockets, or Melee; And you can adjust your armor to heighten Propulsion(flight), Armor(defense), Weapon(repulsar), or Even(balanced). Going threw you'll have to switch around weapon and armor configurations to face the different enemies or get around quick. As you play you'll probably wish you had a second analog stick to look around since you have to use the X,O,[],<, buttons and theres no way to reconfigure the setup in this regard.

"Open World" is one of the selling points for the game, the freedom to move anywhere on the battlefield. But if your like me you'll still feel limited in many of the levels. A low "ceiling" and invisible walls prevent you from really exploring the world, which is usually unnecessary with most enemies grouped in one area anyway. Some of the levels are downright tiny.

Another feature is the instant kill ability for vehicles. First you have to weaken the vehicle and get into range, some of the vehicles it can be difficult to get in the proper position like with tanks. Theres basically three animations for the instant kill; flipping a jeep, smashing a tank with its own turret, and punching a helicopter. The helicopter animation is nothing special, but the instant kills refill all your power systems.

In all of the info you find on the game it says you get to take on Fighter Jets. At no point in the game does that ever happen, even though its prominently featured in the movie. So no Man vs Jet dogfighting unfortunately; which is dissapointing since flying as Iron Man once you get the hang of it is pretty fun, but you don't really get to do it much.

Graphics go anywhere from good to bad, and we're talking psp standards. In the first few levels the environments and enemies you face are bland and boring, some look downright terrible. But its a mixed bag, some of the later levels look pretty good and some of the later enemies actually look pretty cool. The best would be the cut scenes which look to be taken from the console versions and Iron Man himself. The armor pretty much being the star of all the comics and the movie looks good here. The detail on most of the armors is impressive.

Sound and music in the game are nothing special and for the most part forgettable, that includes the voice acting from the movie stars themselves.

As you play through the game you unlock multiple armors; just for appearances, they don't (from what I can tell)give any kind of special abilities or attributes. In the PSP version you unlock-

-Mark I (movie)
-Mark II (movie)
-Mark III (movie)
-Gold Original Armor
-Classic
-Stealth
-Titanium Man (video game variant)

The last unlock Titanium Man isn't actually an Iron Man armor, since Titanium Man is a villain from the comics that makes a few appearances in the game. Also in my opinion looks the coolest as hes been redesigned for the game.

You Iron Fans might be pleased to know that you get to face down some classic Iron Man villians. Such as Blacklash(Mark Scarlotti), The Melter(Bruno Horgan), Titanium Man (Boris Bullski), and Madam Masque(Whitney Frost). Though most of them look nothing like their comic counterparts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game with Tricky Controls, May 3, 2008

By	J. Druley (Fort Wayne, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Iron Man (Video Game)

Short, sweet & to the point: I rate this game at a solid 4.5. Great graphics, weapons, etc...

Only big downside for me is flight controls require aiming both Wii remote & Nunchuk. If you're not 100% focused on what each hand is doing you'll have a hard time steering while in flight mode.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend to just about anyone.

FYI to parents of young kids: there is some language in the cut scenes that may not be appopriate for younger players. Violence is not very detailed, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars decent game//better than people are saying, May 12, 2008

By	Raul Duke "Gonzo HST" (Pittsburgh) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Iron Man (Video Game)

7/10

the good-

big levels
good replay value
good powers


the bad-
sub par graphics(terrible at times)
bad sound quality on the battlefield
no lock on system
bad enemy ai
-(you can hide behind a rock and they seem to forget they even saw you)

----------------------------------------------

they really get the feel of iron man down in this game, probably better than any other superhero game, besides of course Spiderman 1-3 and Incredible Hulk Ulitmate Destruction. you can hover, fly, use turbo thrusters for high-speed flight. you have various long range attacks from small lazers to the uni-beam. to those of you who arent familiar, its a huge beam that shoots from the circle on his chest, usually obliterating all in its path. you can also take great advantage of Iron Man's strength, ripping helicopters and tanks in half. you can also upgrade and customize all abilities.

the controls could've been a little more solid, but they're far beyond those of Superman the game, which is really the only base for comparison. there are very few games out there utilizing such an epic powerset. Marvel Ultimate Alliance(as amazing as it is) doesnt really count, its more of a dungeon crawler. a lock on system would've made combat a lot more headache-free. especially against the fighter jets.

in the end, its the only game that truly makes you feel like Iron Man. its honestly epic in every way, there were just a few bad design choices and a rushed release, which would explain the poor enviromental graphics(iron man himself looks good)

so any fan of Iron Man, or super heroes in general should try it. DEFFINITELY RENT before buying. just dont set your hopes too high.
