A prime example of a movie game. You're expected to bring your own story and that's about it. There is just nothing here to really play. By the looks of the ads and hype, and being this late in the era, I would have expected a step beyond Spider-Man 2, but its not even SM1. In Spider-Man you at least had the novelty of checking out real locations, but Metropolis is just cookie cutter nonsense. There are no crimes to solve outside of the 50 million times the stupid robots attack, the action is abysmal, and more than half of it is just a waste of time. Other than punching, Superman's powers really do nothing to the enemies, and here I thought a laser beam from ones eyeballs would have some ballistic usage, not in Metropolis, everything has to get punched. From the Superman fan, to the average gamer, this is nothing but a disappointment any way you slice it.
