I was bored this weekend so I decided to make a video. Overall I enjoyed my time with Iron Man and cannot wait until the price drops to 20 bucks. This actually looks like a decent movie license game so don't be afraid. If you haven't played it yet and have the means to do so, I suggest you download it.
Now I'm going to get back to "work" because I have some databases to create. Yeah SQL :(.
Superhero games can suck because if you're as strong as in the comics/films then they're too easy but if they become hard then it doesn't seem that you're much of a superhero.
And here I was planning on reviewing this game and Universe at War demo. Oh well, 1 out of 2. Otherwise I agree with ya Kryp. Flying takes a little while but if you invert the controls it helps a LOT. Also, the lock on system feels a little too abrupt for me.
Overall it's a good rental but not a game worth $60.
Great minds think alike. I've been meaning to play the Universe at War demo so I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on it.
Thanks for the feedback everyone :). I'll probably be doing a lot more of these and hopefully I'll nail a format that works. I can't wait to put something together for GTA4 and I'm also going to do something for Burnout Paradise. I know it's old but a lot of people slept on that game, which saddens me.
Good review! It definitely looks like a decent license game.
There's a bunch of little things I noticed in the demo that are done pretty well like holding the L trigger part way in to maintain a level hover. Also, they do a real nice job of scuffing and scoring up the armor as he takes damage. By the time I finished the demo, a good portion of Iron Man's right side was burnt and paintless.
I downloaded this and played it three times yesterday afternoon. Pretty decent, well worth a rental at the least.
The thing I didn't like the most was how the reticule would always snap back to the center of the screen if I stopped aiming it. It annoyed the fuck out of me. I couldn't permanently change which way I was looking with out turning my body, sort of the opposite of strafing.
Oh well, still okay fun. The armor upgrading will be what really hooks me, I can tell.
Iron Man is actually really good, at least the demo was. I was incredibly surprised. But once it hits that 30-20 dollar range, Im picking it up for sure

Yes, they are doing some "maintenance" or some shit today.
Also, ARE YOU SERIOUS? I just have to hold down A...hmmm...guess I should have played it for more than 5 minutes. I'll try that when I get home.
