    Your basic run-of-the-mill action game, which manages to entertain for a while. The controls are awkward and sadly the environments are not affected by the destruction and mayhem. The optional hero objective is a great idea. [June 2008]

    As movie tie in games go, Iron Man sits neatly on the pile and follows the formula of being decidedly average at best.

    Not a complete disaster but still a long way short of fun. It's just...okay. [July 2008, p.80]

    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 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.

    Iron Man is a mess, an utter travesty and a total waste of anyone's money, no matter how little they spend on it.

I really like the open battlefield concept and the ability to convert from land based to full aerial attacks is great. I was able to gain roughly 300 gamerscore points through the first 5 missions. This is not going to be on the top of your replay list but it definitely will be fun while it lasts!!!… Expand

This game is way too hard unless you know how to play this game like a boss. It took me another 2 hours to beat that level and after I beat that level, I turned my Xbox off because I was tired.

    Overall, this game has good graphics and good sound, but is really bad in gameplay and mechanics. I'd get it if it was 5 dollars, don't spend more than 10 dollars on this game    … Expand
