Steel isn't a game for everyone, and the repetitive mission structure will more than likely deter all but the Superman faithful.
Flying just never feels natural or precise, and considering how much of it Superman does, this is not a small failing.

You should avoid this game like you would skinny-dipping with your grandparents. [Jan 2003, p.110]
Where the game fails, and fails miserably, is with its choice of enemies and challenges. [Feb/Mar 2003, p.86]
Superman’s problems, however, lie in the game’s control and play mechanics. The action is tedious, the moves are sluggish, and the enemies are annoying.
Superman's flying speed is disappointingly slower than a speeding bullet. When it comes to thrills, this title is strictly smallville. [29 Nov 2002, p.114]
A woefully bad video game that insults one of the greatest superheroes ever with a broken hodgepodge of awful controls, eyesore cutscenes, a story that doesn’t stand on its own and poorly adapts the mythos as well as the characters being miscast with actors who… just didn’t seem to care about the project at all.
It’s a damn shame, and it’s a waste of time that embarrassed Xbox players everywhere. But every console has its turkeys. That’s just a hard fact with gaming as a whole. Even the NES, SNES and PS2 had their fair share of atrocious turkeys that tried cancelling out every Mario, Zelda or God of War game on their respective platforms.
Superman deserves better than being cursed with the world’s WORST superhero video games ever made. Yeah; this one **** JUST as bad as Superman 64.
