  1. It captures the animated series to a tee and sports the love and care that all of us hope to see heaped on a port that originally appeared on another system (in this case, the PS2).
  2. The gameplay itself isn't terrible, but it still assigns way too many functions to the A button. [May 2003, p.87]
  3. 65
    It's a bit rough to look at visually, and the gameplay is borderline boring throughout most of the levels packed onto the disc.
  4. The controls are touchy and the environments seem small when Superman is flying, but the overall experience is tons of fun. [May 2003, p.138]
