    The gameplay is pretty good, but they could have made the game much more interesting. It's just the same thing over and over again. Beat up these robots, then beat up some more robots, save a kitten (i'm not kidding), beat up yet more robots... You get the idea. The game definitely needs more depth and some climatic moments such as saving the plane in the movie, but sadly it has The gameplay is pretty good, but they could have made the game much more interesting.

    The best Superman game ever, just not enough to do. And the citizen A.I. can be silly. Sometimes they run right towards the battle to get away. But the game is good for Superman fans like myself who are still waiting for an awsome S game.

    I would say EA has messed up another franchises name, but in this case, all previous superman games were bad anyway, and EA has made this one better. It is still a bad game though, just not as bad as the others.

    This is the best Superman game to date, and it makes up any mistakes found in previous ones like Superman 64.There is quite a challenge here. The game is long. The open world in this game is among the largest ever. The story and voice acting are okay. There is a lot of variety in combat and the controls are great. Now for the bad: The graphics aren't perfect.

The open world in this game is among the largest ever. The story and voice acting are okay. There is a lot of variety in combat and the controls are great. Now for the bad: The graphics aren't perfect. The game constantly throws missions at you so there is little time to explore this large open world. The extra missions with Bizzaro are too short and very tedious. The best thing I can say is that while it isn't perfect, it is a signifigant improvement from all the other Superman games.… Expand

    As a game that manages to encapsulate the feeling of being Superman, Superman Returns does an excellent job.

    Feels more like a botched sandbox-styled game with what little there is to do both poorly implemented and boring. It may be the best Superman game so far, but that's not saying much.

    The game play becomes very repetitive and you feel that a lot more could have been done with the powers Superman has and the whole city being open for exploration. However what you are left with is dull combat missions the odd fire-fighting and of course kitten hunting, racing and some destruction thrown in for good measure.
