Well this game has had some terrible reviews, though, I don't think it's a good as delinkwent says, it is quite fun, at least better than it's been reviewed. Starting out is pretty much all about honing your skills, getting rid of the meteors coming to gang rape Metropolis. That scene is about five minutes long and ends with you destroying a rather large meteor. After that, for some reason it just goes back to a few months ago and you have to fight in a deathmatch, after you win, you get the large blasts for your breath, heat vision, and ice breath, well that took about 10 minutes to get... After that it's pretty much the same thing over and over, beating the crap out of robots, a boss battle, more robots, throwing cars, looking through girls dresses with your x-ray vision, you know, the usual stuff. The storyline is bland but for some reason I haven't tired of it.

Now that we're through with the story lets get on with everything else. The flight mechanic is amazing. It's control is perfect, thats funnily the part that every other superman game failed in, so maybe that's all that was focused on with this release?
The graphics, metropolis looks beautiful, but superman, what the hell is up with him, he looks like crap, his body has freaking corners...
Supermans speed, they kind of screwed that up. He runs, a hell of a lot slower than he flies, just fast enough to run past cars pretty much, then when he flies he goes pretty fast, but when I checked in statistics how fast I was running it says "118 mph" what the hells up with that? That ain't dodging a speeding bullet. Their best bet would have been to make time around superman slow down along with him speeding up, that would have made a lot more sense.
Combat is pretty good, but all you have to do is press x and ram into everybody.

Rundown:

Graphics: 3/5 - Metropolis' beauty is the only reason it gets this score. Superman looks like a freaking stone carving, a bad one at that. His pecks have corners and his face looks retarded.

Sound: 4/5 - The sound is fairly good, but some of the voices sound like morons.

Replay Value: 3/5 - The same **** over and over and over and over....but it doesn't seem to get old as quick as you'd think.

Value: 2/5 - This speaks for itself: The game was 70% after I played it for 3 hours.

They work fairly well, but I'd love there to be a button to jump. Flying to get over a small obstacle is annoying because it takes you too far. RB is definitely the perfect button to use for the boost though I can say that.

lol ya but after reading his review I sided more with his score. I hate the game period. A 6/10 is not a score that makes me want to go buy this game.

Yea but you also have to take the different consoles into consideration.The version for the NDS would get a 1/10,but I like the one for ps2.But this is not a debate thread.

This game is horrible. Geez, it even got a 1 out of 5 on the show X-Play. Another horrible Superman game.
