    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.

    The chaotic levels are challenging, but they become far too repetitive far too quickly.

    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.

    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.

    Overall Flying is sometimes a joy, but Iron Man is basically repetitive, confusing and graceless.

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

    There is absolutely no reason why you'd want to play this game, no matter how big a fan you are.

    Could I just say, I haven't completed the game, but this is what I can say about it: Pretty much beautiful graphics, until you land on Could I just say, I haven't completed the game, but this is what I can say about it: Pretty much beautiful graphics, until you land on the ground, and it's all murky and horrible. bah. Gameplay is litterally a shoot-y fly-y game, hovering over tanks firing missiles and blasting it. When on the ground controls are all slidey and unresponsive. Anyway, flying around is a joy, and I've had quite a bit of fun blowing stuff up.… Expand

    Worst game ever, with no great combat and dull story. Also Iron Man could have had more of a story
