  • Summary: Iron Man, an explosive third-person action shooter game that pits one of the world's most renowned Super Heroes against unspeakable odds, draws its story from the upcoming movie while also incorporating story elements from original Iron Man comic books. Using the advanced technology in Iron Man's suits of armour, gamers can take advantage of the wide array of high-impact weapons to strategically annihilate any enemy force standing in their way. Before tackling stunning and immense open battlefields, players can customise their armour suit as they encounter progressively more vicious enemies, and fight in epic battles that could challenge even the toughest Super Heroes.

    Iron Man is a surprisingly deep game with some rough edges. If you can manage to get a grip on the controls and combat you will quickly grow to enjoy what the game has to offer.

    Even fans of the comic won’t have fun with this piece. At the beginning, the permanent explosions are quite entertaining, but soon they get as boring as the monotony of a firing machine gun. No, thanks!

    The gameplay turns mundane as you blast target after target with no real feeling of being the all-powerful Iron Man. Worse yet, it suffers from too many setbacks with its flying and ground combat.

    A lazy wasteful mess. [June 2008, p.103]

    This game is very well, take the control of Iron Man is a Pleasure, the action is great, you should be very astute to evade the missiles, The stages are fantastic, Iron man control can be complex for some, but really enjoy it because it gives the impression of being in the suit.

    The action in this game is really cool. Dodging missles is my favorite part - I really like how you can catch the missles and then throw them back at your enemy.… Expand

    I think one of the main things is that it came out in the same week as GTA IV, which is unfortunate. Yes it could have been better, but all in all it is fun just to fly (or run) around and blowing stuff up in a great looking suit. Oh suits, as you can unlock quite a bunch of the Iron Man legacy and modern suits from the comics. That is a nice touch. I think most reviews so far has been overly harsh, although it is not the greatest game out there, it is fun nevertheless and is probably one of the coolest Marvel super heroes ever apart from Spidey. At least worth a rent and for Marvel fans, if you enjoyed the Spiderman 3 game, which I did, then you will probably just pick it up anyway… Expand

    Games based on movies will always suck.
