Gamespot review: Iron Man 2

Two years after his summer blockbuster tie-in game frustrated anyone unlucky enough to don the shiny red suit, Iron Man is back. The intervening years have given him time to reflect and settle down, making Iron Man 2 a more even-keeled experience than its predecessor. The punishing difficulty has been smoothed out, thanks in part to the sprinkling of checkpoints now featured in each level.

GOTY Confirmed. /s

I hope people didn't buy this game. I think people should boycott movie-games in order to force developers/publishers to produce games at a higher quality then what they are selling to consumers today.
