  • Superman Returns: The Videogame

    What is it with Superman and video games? Did he make a pact with the devil that granted him box office success in exchange for absolutely craptacular video games? Could it be that a good Superman game will never be made?

Terrible Game

Let's put it this way for anyone wanting to play a quick game, it's terrible, I mean horribly terrible. I mean thing of the two worst things you wouldn't do ever in your life; and after playing this game those things seem more fesible.

Head Back To Krypton

This game was a big disappointment for me. EA claimed to have all the bugs worked out, & that Superman will finally have the gaming respect he deserves. Unfortunately, they were only partially correct. Superman Returns isn't a horrible game...it is just missing some major factors. The story is too short, the AI is not as smart & menacing, & the fighting leaves little to be desired. Upgrading your powers is cool, & racing against that little Mr. M dude is alright. Playing as Bizarro is ok, but you only can only cause destruction for like 2 minutes. Overall, this game will leave you wanting more, a WHOLE lot more.

Great concept, bad representation.

I love sandbox games. I really do, I love the freedom and ability to make the game your own. I also love Superman. So when you throw the 2 together you get a great game? Well... not exactly. The concept for this game was great, but the final product was not. Flight mechanics- great. Fighting- mediocre. Super powers- decent. Overall- Fun.. for a bit. I think the 1 and only mistake that EA made with this game was... well.. themselves. EA should stick to sports games. If any company should of taken over this game it should of been Rockstar or Treyarch. They both have great experience with 'sandbox' games. But the game was still a blast for about 4 days. Flying is fun. Storyline... no.

Please don't come back.

This game can be described with one word. Shit. I hated every bit of it. The powers were lame, the game had shit physics, and it had sub-par graphics. I had to throw up after playing it for 10 minutes. Best to leave this one on a shelf somewhere.

Superman Returns, I guess

Superman Returns is a sub-par video game at best. The graphics are so so. I would have liked a lot more realism to the look of the game. It is one the 360 now, there is no need for this cartooney look. The city itself look great. Do not get me wrong about that. They did a great job on metropolis, but when the character you are playing as or the characters you are fighting look like Gamecube graphics, there is a problem. Also why do I fight the same characters over and over again? The only difference is what powers work on which characters. The sound effects in the game are good. The punch sound effects hit their mark and the street sounds are awesome. Even when you fly it sounds like it. The music is the same thing over and over and over again. Where is the John Williams score. I want to here the Superman music, where is that at? The story is sub-par. They crammed a bunch of cool Superman story lines into this game. None of them actually pull together all that well. I bounce around so much where am I going. The achievements on this game are impossible to hit also. I did it, but only after cheating. I completed the whole game and did everything I had to and only flew a total of 1000 miles and one of the achievements is fly 20,000 miles. It took me 15 hours to complete the whole game and I only flew 1000 miles, how in the heck do I fly 20,000 miles? Good luck trying to find all the kittens also. Even with the guide book it took me forever to find all the kittens. They make no sound to you get right on top of them. You are Superman for gods sake with superhearing and you can not hear a cat meow until you are landing on top of it. That is not even the worst part of the game. The controls absolutely stink. Can I hit the guy I am focussed on please? I can not throw the object at him and I can not hit him. Let me also run and fly into every building at superspeed. Since when does a building stop Superman? Shouldn't he fly right through the building? The mini games are fun but hard. How many times do I have to race that little freaking elf before I beat him. It is by sure luck alone that you will pull this feat off. All that being said this is not a bad game if you go in with low expectations. If you have time and patience it is an easy 1000 achievement points at least.
