Iron Man (PC 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.

Critic Reviews

61 GameFocus
If you can get past Iron Man’s head-scratching learning curve, what are you left with? A game that’s far from perfect, but still better than a lot of movie and comic book tie-ins that have come before ( *wink* Catwoman).
40 Worth Playing
Iron Man for the PC is another casualty in the sad and lengthy history of failed movie-game tie-ins.
35 GamerNode
A terrible action game in its own-right but made even worse because it was based on an awesome action film. Roll your eyes over this one folks.
35 IGN
Terrible visuals, straightforward/easy gameplay, and a plethora of other problems make Iron Man fail at being anything worth trying.

A PS2 port, when there's an Xbox 360 version? This is a dreadful example of shameless corner cutting and an awful game. [Aug 2008, p.107]

Combat though, is miserable. [Aug 2008, p.73]

Shame on you SEGA, for disrespecting fans with this sad excuse for an action game. [Aug 2008, p.65]

Don't shell out for ol' shellhead. The action-figure is more fun. [Aug 2008, p.79]
