How Metascores Are Calculated

Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
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.

Cheat Code Central
The chaotic levels are challenging, but they become far too repetitive far too quickly.
 59
Console Monster
Whilst the game has some nice features in it, the overall gameplay is far too repetitive and boring.
56
GameTrailers
Iron Man has its occasional bright spots, but the gameplay fluctuates between monotony and frustration. With technical meltdowns, unsightly visuals, and a jumbled plot line, there are more than enough reasons to leave this junker on the scrap heap.

GameSpot
Iron Man's high-flying new adventure is hindered by erratic difficulty and repetitive level design.

VideoGamer
After the movie turned out to be such good fun, the game landed with a heavy thud, failing to offer anywhere near the same level of enjoyment.

GameDaily
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.

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
The fact that I was constantly thinking about what button to push, even as I was rounding into the final set of missions, well...that's just a big design no-no. [June 2008, p.72]

Flying is fun, the upgrades are neat, and the game can look good. However, these pros are outweighed by the aforementioned frustration, crappy storyline and lame cutscenes.
36
PSM3 Magazine UK
Overall Flying is sometimes a joy, but Iron Man is basically repetitive, confusing and graceless.
33
1UP
We've come to expect a missing coat of polish on film tie-ins, but Iron Man seems to lack even a level of care, resulting in a drab adaptation that sinks well beyond simple mediocrity.

This product is too crude for even the ‘mainstream’ demographic; it can only possibly appeal to the ignorant.

GameTap
Generic and boring visuals; ridiculous difficulty curve; weak controls.
