Video Game Reviews of Superman Returns

Customer Review: Super Cool
Summary: 5 Stars

Don't believe the Superman/EA haters, this is a really cool game. The flight is incredible and the chaos of the fights is great and unique. The other reviews say the game is repetitive, but it is as varied as you want it to be. You can make your own combos and play with some crazy physics. I think it is short but there seems to be a lot of replay value since the game is different each time you play it.

Customer Review: A game for the Superman in all of us.
Summary: 4 Stars

As far as games go, I can understand why this one has recieved such bad (at best mixed) reviews. I myself am a huge fan of the man of tommorow, and can't seem to put this game down. I've been waiting for a game to come along with just the right innovations to really make you feel as though you were playing the part of the worlds greatest hero. And for me, this game does just that.

The flight is extreemly innovative and cool (surround sound is superb for breaking the sound barrier) and the whole environment comes to life as you fly through it.
Sound design may well be the very best aspect of this game, as every little thing seems to make its own unique noise, and the soundtrack tempo changes with altitude and atmosphere.
The fight mechanics unfortunately offer nothing new other than the strength of a thousand mortal men, which is just fine for me, though I will admit the cammera tends to hinder things.
The biggest downside to this game is the short play time, and innevitable repetitiveness once the story is complete.
While the greatest aspect is the true feeling of being the man of steel, fighting with vilians is a constant juggling act. Take for example a battle with mongul, blast him high into the air with your superbreath to bide time as you race around the city saving the civilians he's harmed and putting out the fires he's caused, then race back with superspeed to land a few punches just as he touches down.

This is by far the greatest Superman game ever created, and yes I know that's not saying much, but it may also be the best superhero game I've ever played. If you are a fan of the man of steel, no matter how big or how small I'm positive you will enjoy this game, nothing delivers on the experience of being the big blue wonder better than this. (No not even strapping on a towel and belly flopping onto the couch.)

Customer Review: Stay Away
Summary: 1 Stars

Too much money, it carries the name of the movie, however has absolutely no content from the movie excepts 5 minutes worth of game clips. Non-interactive. You fight the same enemies over and over again. Side missions are impossible when you are constantly dragged into fights with crappy enemies. Combos are not the easiest or most reliable. Find someone who bought it give them 2 bucks and borrow it for the 5 hours worth of gameplay.

Customer Review: What i expected from a game developed from a movie.
Summary: 2 Stars

Come on now, we all know when games come out that are developed from movies are unsuccesful, except a select few. But this one follows in the foot steps of bad superman games. You may find the game to be short and repetative but NOT glitchy, there something positive. This game does have lots of potential, just seems like it was rushed. The graphics are nice and contols are not bad. The villins and game play tend to be very repetative making for an uninterresting superman adventure. The side activities are unclear and hard at times causing major bordom. Lets put it this way, I played the games for a total of 2 tiresom hours, had 45% finished and popped another game in my 360, have not touched it since!! Please rent the game like i did first, because for the amount of money your just buying a new game not a GOOD new game. Your just getting a hole in your wallet. O and the 2 stars i gave the game are for Graphics, smoothness game play, and the little vidio clips through out the game. Plus the one thing that made me mad was the classic superman sound track is not on this game, cant have superman without that sound track.
