Rather than bore all of you with game specifics, my experience with Iron Man can be summed up very quickly: occasionally problematic but overall enjoyable.
There is a lot to pick apart in this game that works and does not all at the same time. Too many buttons carry double functions that seem to conflict with each other during flying/hovering transitions and the context grabs Iron Man performs are super annoying to complete, but the weapon customization, shooting/explosions, and graphical smoothness during fast flight is very good. Almost too good to be your average comic book game, let alone a good flying game as well.
Bottom line is that flying around as Iron Man is a lot of fun (the achievements on the xbox360 help direct you as to what your more abstract goals for the missions are) and annoyances aside, I'm glad I have Gamefly to give this rental a fair play rather than skip it because of the price tag/quality ratio.
