DarkZero: Iron Man Review
DarkZero writes: "Okay, the movie is amazing. Robert Downey Jr. as the alcoholic billionaire turned armour-clad superhero Tony Stark, who blasts his way through legions of terrorists as Iron Man. It is action packed, entertaining and – on paper – would make an excellent videogame. The same thing has been said about many a superhero movie tie-in and unfortunately, most of them have been horrendous. Sure, there have been some decent ones; Spider-Man 2 and the underrated Hulk: Ultimate Destruction spring to mind, but then you’ve got utter turds like Superman Returns and Batman Begins. How on earth you screw up playing as two of the greatest superheroes of all time, I will never understand.
It is simple, really. When you pick up that superhero game off the shelves of your local GAME, you want to feel like you are them. Yet, time after time, you end up playing another generic action game with your favourite comic book hero shoved into it. Sure, accurately mimicking Daredevil’s enhanced sense of hearing would be tough, but Iron Man? He has a big metal suit that gives him the power of flight, super strength and the ability to fire massive laser blasts at his enemies. Easy, no?"
