Horrible

Superman Returns ....The game to the Store

Seriously, what a piece of junk. The camera is broken and it has a feature enabled from the start which makes it even more broken (imagine the camera whipping around wildly.) The first level where it shows your powers looked promising. Then I got to Warworld and hit the melee attack button. I then proceeded to cry for five minutes. The melee system is so blocky and choppy it makes Mortal Kombat on the Gameboy look like it had depth to the fighting.

There's maybe 5 different enemies (not including real characters a.k.a. important people,) and they all look remotely the same. Because Superman can't die, the city can. Basicly they blow up stuff in the city and you gotta jam a car in their face to repay 'em. The difficutly level literally jumps from impossibly easy to so hard they will put you on suicide watch.

There's only two different types of missions, blow fires out or beat robots up. Oh yea, Mister Mxyzptlk hid 100 cats around the city for you to find, because apparently collecting all of them will make him give you back your artifacts from the Fortress of Solitude or some half-done story like that. The worse part about these cats, they make your controller vibrate like no tomorrow, and during missions you can't pick them up, so if a battle is near one you might snap a wrist.

Music is cool, not really a Superman feel, but not a goofy comic-book feel so it's nice.

The graphics (I played on PS2,) looked like first generation PS2 games. Whenever a menu comes up, the screen becomes shaky and looks like it's literally trying to make you go into a seizure to stop playing this horrible game.

If you MUST play this game, rent it. Luckily I did so I'm not one of the poor souls who wasted money on this pile of garbage.

All in all, the real title should be called "Superman64 Returns"

Also, to the people who say it's good, you didn't play the game, or you're trying to funny and fail horribly.

If you get bored easy. I give you No more than 25 minutes of playing this game before the boredom kicks in. You fight the same creatures throughout the whole game. It's cool to fly but thats only for the first 24 minutes. Loosely Based on the movie which made me some what happy.Basically, The only reason I even bothered beating this game is cause of My goal of becoming one of the most well known Gamers this world has ever seen.Play Batman Begins if you want a good Superhero movie game.

Later

When I first looked into this game i thought, thats insane, when I played it, i KNEW it was insane

As you pick up the controller the FIRST thing you will do is make superman fly. That is one of the best parts of the game. The amazing sense of speed that you get as superman flys through the 80 square miles of what we call Metropolis at a top speed of 800 miles per hour.

This game is in many was a GTA style game. You go around and you save people when you want to save em. Or you can completely ignore them as you throw cars up in the air and blow them up with your heat vision.

You also get a very unique sense of speed in combat. One move that superman uses shows him spinning around the opponent attacking at every turn.

This is truly a very unique experiance. Superman lovers and non Superman lovers alike will enjoy this gaming experiance IMMENSLY
