Superman Returns: The Videogame reviews

The game is great fun at first. I found great excitement in flying around at super speeds and weaving all throughout the vast city of Metropolis, cranking up the superpowers to set things on fire, freeze them or blow them away, picking up and throwing various objects for fun and generally causing chaos among the people of this city.
However, the fun and excitement is short lived. The main missions pass by very quickly and after which there is not much else to do except rescuing kittens, flying around some more, fighting the same bad guys again and continuing to throw things at people to keep yourself amused.
This had the potential to be a great game to accompany a great movie, but it feels unfinished. It seems to be a rushed job that could have been made so much better had the designers given it a little more time.

After playing the demo, this game looked like it had everything going for it – licencing a major character and a good movie, a massive, amazingly detailed city, awesome flight and superspeed mechanics, and a genre with great games to emulate. Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Ultimate Spider-Man were both fantastic examples of the free-roaming superhero game, and this looked to be the same. However, Superman is let down by tedious, uninspired game design. The boss fights are gimmicky, which is fine, except the gimmicks are basically spelled out and you just have to repeat them over and over. The in-between missions quickly start to repeat themselves, even down to the names. The game is still fun for a short while, admittedly – who doesn't want to fly around like Superman? It just could have been so much better.

This game kicks ass I haven't played any of the other superman games but this one is cool there are so many moves that you can do with sperman Flying is cool and the fact that you can pick up most things around you is cool as well.
